Sup /vr/ I'm looking to try out JRPGs from the 1980s to around the early 2000s. I've already played through Xenogears, Chrono Trigger, FFVIII and a few others, but I really want to try out a lot more. I don't care how famous the games are so long as they're good.
>>
Legend of Dragoon, Brave Fencer Musashi, Legend of Legaia, not total Retro but Shadow Hearts too (get a PS2), Chrono Cross, etc
>>

Mother trilogy
Grandia (1st one)
Skies of Arcadia
FF VI
Phantasy Star IV

Tales of Phantasia (ps1)
Tales of Symphonia (gc)
Lufia 2

Avoid:
Persona series
All FF's after VII (except 12)

>>
Wild ARMs series.
Star Ocean 2.

What a great situation to be in, OP. There are so many great RPGs to experience. I would love to erase my memory of games to experience them all over again.

how's Tales of Legendia compared to Eternia?

>>3395518
Once you've gotten your feet wet a bit with some of the other games, and want something different:

Shin Megami Tensei
Final Fantasy Legend and Final Fantasy Legend 2 (the first two SaGa games, outside Japan)
SaGa Frontier 1 and 2
Dragon Warrior Monsters
Phantasy Star II and III (yes, most people don't like III, but it's an interesting game in terms of what it does. There weren't a lot of games that did a generational storyline around that time. Closest to that being Romancing SaGa 2 and Dragon Quest V)
>>
>>3396386
Agreed about Persona. It took me a while to get in to each one (starting with 4 golden on back), but they're fantastic fucked games. No regrets at all.

Most of the good ones were already given, but one I never see mentioned is picrelated. I always loved this game, cool combat system, fun side quests, occasional difficulty, etc.
>>
>>3395518
Chrono Cross
Breath of Fire 1-4

Theres a lot of good games to choose from in thread. Enjoy OP

literally what

I mean I understand why people don't like the later FFs, since it became real fashionable and elitist to dislike them in the early 2000s, but what kind of complete pleb doesn't like Persona
