>Heres a few I have in mind
>Old Fire emblem titles
prepare to spend over 30 hours trying to find out why people think these games are fun!

ive been playing gba remakes of pokemon games(was a little old in the 90's so skipped). theyre ok

play ore no shikabane wo koete yuke

>>5712751
Star Ocean: 2nd Story is great if you haven't played it. Breath of Fire III/IV, Saga Frontier, and we'll throw in Guardian's Crusade as a more obscure one. PSX was peak JRPG performance

>>5712751
Breath of Fire - Generally super generic and bland, outside of a handful of situations that are fun or interesting (Gene Splicing in 3 starts off cool, gets boring). As a series: 5/10

Xenogears - WORDS the fucking game. Holy shit I do not know how people unironically recommend this to people. It's insanely slow paced. Combat is barely enjoyable. There is platforming that can waste hours because of stupid random encounters making you miss your jumps, causing you to fall. The game ain't even done. 3/10

Tactics Ogre - This is quite literally "pre-Final Fantasy Tactics". It's a bit rough around the edges but it's enjoyable enough. You can also make your guys just auto battle each other and go to bed to level up (at least in the PS1 version). Stuff is completely imbalanced, which kind of sucks, but otherwise was a fun experience. 7/10

Legend of Legaia - Pretty fun, but a bit slow paced. Game is grindy as fuck after a certain point. The combat system is fun and novel, right up until you learn the ideal moves, at which point you spam those until the end of the game. Learning new magic via random chance is pretty fucking ass, especially since you'll want the stronger cure spells towards the end of the game. Solid 6/10.

Use the archive there's a million rpg recommendations

Lunar on the Sega/Mega CD.

Shin Megami Tensei I and II are both very good options

Suikoden II: Actually quite good. Highly esteemed.

Wild Arms series

Parasite Eve

Not retro, but Nier Automata is fantastic.

Then non-FF, Secret of Mana and CT are obviously the big ones.

>>5712759
Not that anon, but why do you want to make him suffer? I myself finished that albeit the DS one but its hell, almost like Disgaea in terms of min maxing.

>>5713631
Forgot pic.

>>5713631
Because he sounded like an idiot so he deserves torture.

>>5713510
the only good retro megatens are soul hackers, kyuyakuu and persona 2

>>5712751
Dragon Force on Saturn

>>5712751
Uncharted Waters
Metal Max
Inindo

Play Valkyrie Profile. One of the best Playstation JRPGs, and even overall.

Eternal eyes is pretty good. It was made by sunsoft and is kind of like pokemon mixed with final fantasy tactics. Its on the playstation.

Phantasy Star IV, Shining Force 1, Koudelka.

>>5712754

How well does it emulate?

Phantasy Star 4 is unironically one of the best JRPGs ever created, and nobody would chastise you for saying it's your favorite game.

It sort of builds off PS1 and PS2, though (PS3 was created by a totally different development team... it completely sucks and is arguably non-canon).

Play PS4 as soon as possible. If you play PS1 and PS2 first you'll appreciate it a lot more, but be warned that PS1 and PS2 are waaaaaay more grindy than PS4 is.

>>5714703
Pretty well

>>5713808

VP is an over ambitious mess, much like vagrant story and xenogears

That Genealogy link was borked for some reason.

>>5712751
Don't play PS 1-4, just play 4.

>Suikoden II: Actually quite good
lol, go on - recommend legend of dragoon too.

ITT: numerous retards still can't tell the difference between jrpgs and turn-based strategy games.

Secret of Evermore

>>5712759
both this and disgaea don't hold a candle to the arc the lad collection

I fucking dumped like 300 hours into that game and wasn't even halfway through Arc II

>>5714703
Played end-to-end with no issues.

>>5714752
Overall I agree, but the gameplay is more fun than those.

>>5713808
why do people shill for this piece of shit? tri-aces worst creation jesus christ. please op just play star ocean 2

>>5715646
Lol, your opinion is so shit.

>>5714752
VP is unironically one of my favorite games of all time and I've bought just about everything tri-ace has touched since in hopes they'll match it.

>>5717658
> VP is unironically one of my favorite games of all time
This right here. Game is fun as fuck.

>>5712767
FE3 and 4 are perfectly fine strategy RPGs

>>5713510
SMT I is fun but I found II to be a huge drag.

>>5713787
Seconding this rec, my favorite Saturn game.

>>5714808
True but the fanbases usually overlap.
