Not sure if someone has already mentioned it, but Magna Carta: Tears of Blood wasn't here, even though it's a turn-based RPG. However, that is a Korean game. This list was about Japanese games.

I came here looking for the name of that game... Thanks!!

We don't deserve you, Erick. Well done, man!

Another amazing list. Thank you so much for doing this for each console for the PS. An that thumbnail was pretty amazing too :)

Once again another great list that gave me new entries to consider playing when I have the time ❤️ Keep this up! Your content on RPGs always makes me and others interested to play or even replay these games

For the better, whether you mean to do this or not, your channel does an incredible job of informing on games we may have missed by doing lists like this, or focusing on games we may have great nostalgia for. The content in the last couple of months has really been appreciated. Thanks Erick!

Erick Thanks so much got afew more games to add to my list to get.

Awesome list. I need to try some of these.

The PS2 was an amazing system for JRPG's, so many great memories I have from those games.

Happy noises! I miss the era of awesome turn based RPGs

I'm glad you did this

Hi Erick. I missed that Lords of the ring RPG, that one whick is turn based. I played it and loved it. Great video :)

not unlike ps1, i missed a lot of these games..great work as always!

2:47 "Teiseken slash!" The Grandia 2 battle theme still is in my cellphone alarm

You saved us a lot of time, thanks.

I hope you also do one of those ranking charts for the PS2 JRPGs as well.

You're a God send now it's easy to decide what to get on my steam deck

awesome you included the battle themes. Greatest themes are from the Iris series , Tonelico, Mana Khema 2, Grandia 2, Dokopan, Grandia 3 and i haven't played any of these games yet

The Ar tonelico series definitely is my favorite example of a JRPG that doesn't need to be difficult to be good. Apparently the lore came from a tabletop campaign the series creator ran back in like 2000, and he liked it enough to make it into a game.

thx man, I was looking for years for that dragon quest game, I loved it as a child and the fighing scene was my only memory.

do you happen to have a list for ARPGs or AJRPGs? if possible in europe unless the prices are way too high

thanks for the compiation man. you are awesome.

2:30 Ugh, hit me right in my Nostalgia. Brings back great memories

can anyone tell me what is the very last song at the end of the video? i need to listen to the full track

The track for first game shown is so hype!!!! Nocturne my love my light!!!!!!

Started out with the very best I see

Great video, would have loved it if you said a few words about each game. I understand time constraints though 👍

The crisp look that a lot of these games on the list is bringing tears of joy to my eyes! Is this component to HDMI converter for a small monitor or pcsx2 on pc?

Great games I have at least half of these games

There are some cool looking games I overlooked I should try out the inyuasha game

good job

there were other SRPGs you included in other videos like trails in the sky on psp and a lot of other SRPG looking games across these vids but sad to disgaea getting left out, which could mean there may be other SRPGs that weren't included

any idea about ps2 games rpg first chapter are on boat the main character wears a red headband and a master of magic and got 2 disciple 1 young boy and 1 teen girl, and then the boat suddenly got swallowed up and they are thrown back in time

i really need help, ive been trying to remember ps2 games about turn based game the first level is on a ship and the first monster is if i remember correctly giant tentacle, then suddenly 3 protagonist are warp back to the past in a deserted island 3 protagonist = 1 magic sensei/teacher, 1 girl thats like the first apprentice, and 1 boy and then there is a playable character more like side character a boy that plays a flute the game is based on magical world and the enemy are all monster thats what i remember, i vaguely remember the sensei wears a blue clothes and a red headband and thats it

Two of my all-time favorite turn-based Japanese RPG's are Front Mission 4 & 5. Maybe they didn't get a NA release? I completed them with English patch via emulation - about 4 times each.

Persona 3

*Alternative title: One of the best console generations for JRPGs period.* The PS4 was a pretty damn good resurgence but it wasn't quite the deserved return to form/comeback that the PS1/PS2 era of games pretty much defined. God fucking damnit. I wish my fuckin PS2 slim still worked. The bloody laser that reads the discs apparently died on me and something inside was scratching the discs so a bunch of my beloved PS1/PS2 that I used to play religiously back during my childhood is just collecting dust now and it FUCKIN SUCKS. So many games and JRPGs that I still have yet to play are on this system alone and it makes me depressed thinking about it now. I want to probably purchase a second-hand one from either Ebay but they're either so damn expensive or I can't find any decent, old-school game retailers that still sell classic PS2 games in general. Eh, I'll still be on the lookout for any functional versions in the future so we'll see. Either way, great complete lists of some of the best JRPGs to come out throughout the past decades.

This is because the PS3 introduced HD realistic graphics but at the exact same time, it cost a lot of money, time, and resources to develop these games. There was not a lot of chances to have experimental games. The ones who succeeded were the ones that have been doing this since the PS1 era. Square Enix came out with Final Fantasy 13 and straight up made two sequels to that game. They didn't even bother to make a mainline game after 13. They just returned to the area of Final Fantasy 13 and build off there.

@@totallynotthebio-lizard7631 The people who developed the Wild Arms series came out with Wild Arms 3, 4, & 5. But when the PS3 came around and it got turned out that producing high quality, high definition games that contained bigger detailed worlds required a higher amount of effort, time, resources, money, and labor-power, it was blatantly obvious that reputable small-time developers didn't have it in them to continue soldiering on. And as a result, they have quietly withdrew. There's a reason why the PS2 had a massive library compared towards the PS3 when it came to the JRPGs. Sony gave out the signal of "you can make anything as long as the gamers (like you & me) enjoyed it".

The title of this video should be "complete list of games you purchased because the cover art looked amazing but when you started playing and got into the combat sections you thought to yourself 'what the fuck is this shit?'".
