It's my favorite era for RPGs as well, so many classics. Both of the Tales games for the PS1 are solid, they just missed the cut for me but would have been honorable mentions. I didn't fall in love with the Tales series until the GC/PS2 era so I don't have as much nostalgia with the older games as I played them later, which played a factor for me tbh

Not brilliant. 7/10 max due to the characters beyond main 3 are all so shallow you can skip rocks off of them, which means there are far too many, likely due to the color scheme attack system which is MEH at best. At least every character in Trigger was compelling in their own way (even many of the enemies)! Awww... fuggit, Cross deserves a 5/10 because the story doesn't really pull you in either.... wait... weak characters and uncompelling story... maybe 5 is too high.... let's go 4/10... Wondering why I played this at all? Oh yeah, I was looking to the ties to Trigger, which are barely there at all. You wouldn't know this was in the same Universe if they didn't spoon feed the fact to you. Yep. 4/10 seems right... misses the mark.

I felt the nostalgia in the way you described these games. This is what retro stuff is all about to me. That feeling you get when you revisit a game that you played and loved as a kid, whether it helped some people escape the world around them, or help brings back other awesome memories from around that same time they were playing these games for the first time. Even if I've never played an old retro game before, I can appreciate the work that went into it with the technology that we had back then. Great list and great explanations of the games. Well done.

Dude. You are a godsend. Thanks to your list and compilations. Makes me wanna look for my old games. Keep it up brother.

Xenogears was supposed to be 6 games. Unfortunately, Square didn’t cared too much about the project and made it only 1 game, which is supposed to be the 5th entry in the series. After Xenogears released, Tetsuya Takahashi (basically the creator of the game) left Square and founded his own company, Monolith Soft (was owned by Namco) , and tried to continue the unfinished story of Xenogears, which led to the release of the Xenosaga Trilogy. Unfortunately, Xenosaga was not that successful and once again, they couldn’t complete the project as intended (still pretty good games, especially Xenosaga 3). After that, Nintendo bought Monolith Soft and Takahashi kind of abandoned the project. Today he is working with the Xenoblade franchise, which I highly recommend if you enjoyed Xenogears (it’s not as ambitious tho). Sorry if you already knew all that lol

It’s also full of Xenogears and Xenosaga references that make it even better in my book! :P The thing is, originally, Xenoblade 1 was gonna be called “Monado: Beginning of the World” and was completely isolated from the rest of the Xeno games. That’s when Satoru Iwata, former president of Nintendo (RIP…), wanted to honor Takahashi by including the Xeno name in his new game. So the first game was not supposed to be part of the Xeno series at all and then, in Xenoblade 2, Takahashi decided to connect it to the other games, which really enriched the Xenoblade lore and made it much more complex and better.

Nice Top 3 there, those definitely would be in my top ten (Especially Star Ocean 2), but truthfully, Parasite Eve and Legend of Mana really belong in the top ten, especially Legend of Mana, because it's perfect for the nowadays players with the short attention spans because many of the scenarios are short, offering the perfect play style for them. It also has the beautiful color palettes you mentioned you love and some of the best boss music EVER. It's also kinda pushing it, but my favorite all time game that isn't named Chrono Trigger DS is a little game called Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, a game that PSM magazine gave Game of the Year to over Final Fantasy 7, and for good reason.

I was 12 when I played this game. Took me hours to beat it. My most memorable game I’ve ever played. back then we didn’t have KZread to help us beat the game so beating it with no help was my biggest accomplishment in my gaming history.

Star Ocean 2nd story..... Ahhhh yes that game kicked the crap outta me and I loved every moment of it. ❤️ The soundtrack, characters, world and battle system was a lot of fun for me to experiment with.

i'm always happy to see when other ppl hold the first grandia in such hi regards like i do ^^ ..... I can never fully explain why but its just got such charm that i can't put it down when i start it.

Legend of Dragoon and Legend of Legaia were two games I had played demos of and always wanted to play fully as a kid, but never could. Legend of Dragoon was something I saw through an in-store demo and really thought the transformation mechanic was cool (this was during a period of time where that kind of feature really drew me in. I loved any game where you could transform). Legend of Legaia, I had a demo from PlayStation Underground or something and I would revisit it regularly, always wondering about that creepy giant monster that smashes down the gate. One day, I will probably beat at least Legend of Legaia. Chrono Cross, well, I could write a whole paragraph on why I love that game. I spent years of my life on it as a kid and even played it with my grandfather, who would pick up the game and fight some of the bosses/superbosses for fun and tell us about it later. He was the first of us to beat the Criosphinx superboss after several tries. But one other reason the game has stuck with me is the soundtrack, which is unmatched for its time (and I will not accept any arguments edgewise, sorry).

Nothing beats the JRPG era of original Playstation! Thank you for bringing us back to the best of its era

Also I’m with you with Lunar too. I loved them both but I prefer Silver Star story a little more over Eternal Blue. I wish we could have gotten at least two more. We already saw a new white and red dragon with the first two so I would love to see the new blue dragon and black dragon lol

I cried when I heard the Xeno Gears Soundtrack,...Nostalgic, Dark, and Sadness can be felt. I can't believe it's been more than 15 years...

You missed Parasite Eve... but you got most everything else so well done

If we would have done some honorable mentions it would have made it there for sure. Very good game. There’s so many great RPGs on the PlayStation that we couldn’t just include them all unfortunately

I'll always love and have immense nostalgia for the NES, SNES, PS1, GAMEBOY, Game-Gear, PC and even N64 era's of RPG-Gaming until the day I die!

15:01 Please someone tell me the title of this beautiful music box. PLEASE!

I played all the games on your list. Thumbs up . . . . nostalgia indeed

All of these games are on my backlog, Xenogears is on my priority though. Didn't have any of these when I was young so I picked them up after university and when working, so I still need to go through the rest of them! Great console though! Looming forward to many of these jrpgs

i got Xenogears from my sisters EX bf. he said "Treat this like gold" this statement held onto me even today, as i have dove into most of these games on the list ie, SO2, CC, BOF3 and one gem i saw witch was valkrie profile, is a 2D JRPG platformer that had a pretty good combat turn based button mash system with combo meter to unleash even more devastating attacks also has a wonderful sound track same artist as SO2, pretty good cast of characters and alot of fully voiced, combat sequences / Story Vo's and these VO'S didnt skimp out because there was a good amount of emotional moments. some top notch artwork and a pretty hidden deep ending if you did things in the right order. or a standard ending if you missed one thing. also based off difficulty levels.

Lunar sss was my 1st ever rpg, it was the catalyst of why I fell in love with RPG and anime as a kid, would continue with most of rpg on this list

idk that any game has made me feel as many emotions as i did while playing xenogears. think the only thing that would come close is the xenoblade series and its wild to see were core of those games originated from

Can anyone tell me which final fantasy song the intro is please. Im aware its a remix but it hit nostalgia levels over 9000

PSM! Oh my gawd! That was my 1 of 3 favorite magazines subscription. Others EGM and Nintendo Powers. I still have them all. 25 years flew by fast.

Nice video bro, i would also like to share my top 10: 10- Vagrant Story 9- Legend of Dragon 8- Breath of Fire IV 7- Chrono Cross 6- Thales of Destiny 5- Legend of Legaia 4- Legend of Mana 3-Valkyrie Profile 2- Digimon World 1- Saga Frontier 2.

9:00 one of the NES dragon quest games did that really effectively...it's a great way to introduce you to characters, even if most of them won't be in your party for most of the game. i don't know why more games didn't copy it

Can you please make a video on games that visually shows customisation rather than just increasing stats. Make the video based on every console. Please please please.

Great list. I'd add Tales of Eternia (Destiny 2 in US) though.

This list is awesome and true, played almost all of them when I was still a kid...

I would be very interested to see what your top 10 PS2 rpgs are now.

I love Final Fantasy but my favorite game of all time is Legend of Dragoon

Amazingly list

I have to imagine the only reason you left out Vagrant Story is because its status as a FF is kind of a gray area.

But it's outright not an FF game. I have never heard anyone say it's status is a not-FF game was murky.

Xenogears is the best jrpg on the PS1 in my opinion, totally agree. Actually many of the games on your list I would agree with. Then when I heard cha la head ch la at the end of your video…. Subscriber earned bro!

1. Chrono Cross, absolutely my fav. 2. Suikoden II 3. Legend Of Legaia 4. Vagrant Story for the idea itself.

@@StayPolishThinkEnglish not great lmao not sure what u played then u probably the only person in the world who think a game like Legenf of legia is better. LoL has a great fight system but the rest of the game is trash.

Your Suikoden 2 rank is definitely heresy. Glad you mentioned Wild Arms 2 though, such an overlooked gem.

We need new games from all of these IP’s. I wish Square would make it happen.

Chrono Cross was amazing, the story, the gameplay, the soundtrack.... lets be honest, this soundtrack is just absolutely gorgeous. Xenogears did manage to top it in all aspects, with the possible exception of the soundtrack.

I dont mind the battle transition in BoF 3 but the random encounter frequency got waaaay too much after awhile. And im usually forgiving of random encounters.

Legend of Dragoon was my first RPG on the PS1 and it was awesome. Difficult with a complex plot. But awesome.

My favourite RPG on PSX is Dragon Warrior 7 and I think in Japan it's the biggest selling rpg on the PSX. Yeah FF7, FF8, and FF9 all outsold it worldwide but I think in Japan DQ7 was the top RPG. * just found an article saying DQ7 was the number 1 selling game in Japan for the original PS. :)

Xenogears was suppose to be FF7 but they decided to not do it because it was too dark with adult themes. I’m glad they decided to go ahead and make it with a different name.

Personally Tales of destiny is my favorite and most impactful game for me on the PS1. but i own 3 others out of 10 on this list! truly great games man.

Solid list

Legend of Legaia was my first JRPG too!
