Top 10 Best RPGs OF ALL TIME!

Great list, but David I have to thank you. From Aug 22 my mom had massive health problems which left her in hospital for a while. I was watching you and fell asleep one particularly difficult night. A nurse checked my phone at moms behest and the games you recommnend are games my mom got my this week as my belated christmas and birthday presents for the last two years. She also.says thank you for giving her laughs when my dad and i were able to be there (ie at work) so. again thank you from mine and my parents hearts. Know that you helped a woman who had to have mutliple life saving surgeries in three days of each other, heal and get back home ❤❤.

Golden sun 1 and 2 are just one of those "once in a lifetime" games. Sure the puzzles have only one solution, but the amount of thinking and preparation to solve it on your own was really a cut above everything else for the time

Wholeheartedly agree with Chrono Trigger being #1 despite it not being my personal favorite. Replayed it recently a few months ago, and I think it's one of the few games in general that I think is appropriately rated and actually lives up to all the praise and hype it has gotten (and continues to get) in the 29 years since its release.

I’ve seen all RPGs from 1980-Now what a life of gaming too many to name should have done a top 100 David

My list: 1- FF7 2- FFT 3-10 (not in order): Sukoden 2, Grandia 1, Lunar 2, Tales of the Abyss, Persona 3, FFV, Kingdom Hearts 2, Chrono Trigger.

LUNAR 2 ❤️ I need a remake/remaster on current platforms!

Love it. For me, Final Fantasy IX will always be the best JRPG ever.

FFT is my favorite of all time, but if someone was to ask me for a game that encapsulates what a JRPG is I’d give them Lunar Silver Star Story. One of my absolute favorite games of all time. I need to beat the second one!

I'm always happy when Lunar and Golden Sun are mentioned. There's something magical about both, it feels like you're on an adventure in the best way possible.

Lunar Silver Star Story has a mobile version that they just did a massive update on last year with tons of quality of life features and controller support. Should definitely check it out if you’ve never played this series.

I love seeing Chained Echoes getting the recognition it deserves. It’s absolutely the complete package - battle system, characters, story, pacing, exploration are all top tier. The game really respects your time when it comes to side quests and revisiting areas in ways that other devs need to take note of. FFIX is peak FF and it’s not close.

Warms my heart to see CE. That game has no business being as amazing as it is.

Chained Echoes delivered such a complete experience for me and the fact that I had no expectations truly made the journey feel organic

this video reminds me of the david videos i fell in love with in 2018. Love it!

Xenogears is not just my favorite JRPG of all times, it is my favorite THING of all times. That game is the ultimate epic culmination of everything awesome about 80s mecha anime from here to Gundam and not to mention the storytelling pretty much surpasses works like Dune and Lord of the Rings even (both of which are some of my favorite stories in sci-fi and fantasy respectively).

Chrono Trigger & Cross, Suikoden 2, Dragon Quest XI, Star Ocean 2R will always be my top 5 ❤

So many ideas for games to play in the future! thank you so much David

Great list! As a SNES RPG lover, I'm SO glad that this isn't just a "these are the SNES RPGs" list. A really nice and varied mix of old and new, with genuine picks that I'd consider the best of the best (Xenoblade, Chrono Trigger, FF9) and picks that I can see being the top of their own little branches of RPG (FFTactics for the tactics, Chained Echoes for the indies, Golden Sun for puzzle lovers)! The only thing I personally miss is Mother 3, for that is my favourite game of all time 😅

Love this list! I haven't played all of them, but the ones that I have that are on your list are absolutely amazing. Some of them are ones I really want to replay when I have time, too.
