Great video OJ, I haven’t seen you on my timeline for a while, and here you are with a banger!

Great video! I have some new things to pick up now!

Great video, wow the switch's jprg library is insane. So many top notch games

Bro the game timeline descriptions are absolutely perfect. Laughed out loud quite a few times. Thighza had me rollin. Phenomenal video a few standouts missing but mostly classic ports and hopefully we get a top 15-20 rpg ports who knows lol.

Awesome video. Looking forward to see your GOTY list.

I'm excited for this one, thanks man.

Great video, love the switch rpg lineup and recently played through baten kaitos 1/2, last remnant/grandia remasters, and fairy fencer f Cant wait for mario rpg remake next month and dragon quest monsters dark prince

Amazing list! I find it satisfying that I own quite a few of the games on this list. I'm currently about to start playing Fire Emblem Engage. Seems like a great journey ahead!

1# XC2 + Torna is the correct answer

A very good list for those new to JRPG and switch

Thank you for this list. It really helps me alot to decide buying a switch as i thought there isnt that much rpg on this console but i was wrong. keep on creating rpg list. thank you and kudos!

this is the video i've been waiting for - i have the same taste in games as you so really appreciate recommendations!

These are my favorite style of videos that’s you do

thansk so much this is great! Haven/t played any of these games before.

Great ranking. I love many games you mentioned. Xenoblade 1, 2, 3, SMTV and Astral Chain are my top favorites. Monster Hunter Rise, MH Stories 2, Atelier Ryza series are very good aswell.

Not much new here, lots of brilliant games in the list as always

am new to Switch, and love these kind of videos, thank you for making these

Nice list! Would have put P5 number one though like the channel you got a subscription

The way you talk about these games really makes me enthusiastic to play them. I own but not yet played Live a Live, XC DE, XC3, DQ XI S, P5R, Ni No Kuni, and a few others. I own and played BotW and started TotK, but now I am into Nier Automata. I definitely want to buy XC2 and Astral Chain now too. Thanks for your awesome and honest review. Cheers!

I liked the way you named timestamps 😅

Valkyria Chronicles II was released for the PSP in the West. However, III was never localized like you said.

This the type of content I like too see you make💯

I can't resist to click this video because of the thumbnail😅 love both of these characters

25:11 Pokémon has always had a compelling single player they always prioritize their lore it’s very detailed

That chapter describtions got me I am laughing haha. I love how you did it, especially the " Edelgard was wrong" title. As Fire Emblem three houses was my first switch game I bought switch for and I have played around 400 hours so far. Going for another playtrough sometimes this year, just hearing the music makes me want to cry... I am The Legend of Heroes addict but damn they are long. 70 hours in ToCS 3 and I begun chapter 4. 100 hours easily every game no kidding. Currently working with gf abroad for 6 months and took switch with me. Got lot of games that were on my backlog for a long time I bought physical, but never got to play them (thanks to pc online games mostly) so now I have so many options available and your list helped me sort it out.. well sort of. lol Xenoblede 1, 2, Torna and 3 (never played before), Persona 5 (ps5 version didnt hook me, so handheld will probably be more comfy for evenings), Astral Chain, Nier Automata, Octopath Traveler 2 and SMT5. Currently getting trough ToCS3 as well as Xenoblade chronicles 1 (when cold steel 10 hours of dialogue is too much for me). Great content I love it!

What were the games shown in the beginning before the countdown?

All games are very good. Thank you so much!

Great list, Nintendo Switch is my favorite way to play JRPG.

Sick thumbnail, OJ 👍🏼 someone should make a really cool fan art of the Nahobino and Pyra, and not one of THOSE fanarts lol

MHSR looks amazing on the Switch indeed, really smooth.

can you play xenoblade 3 even when you havent played other xenoblade? or do you suggest an order to play them.

I really love that Xeno 3 is on the first spot, my God that game is a masterpiece, it's my favorite game ever

I know it's a good list when I see Xenoblade and Persona on the top. The GOATS of modern JRPGS.

Xenoblade 3, octopath traveler 2, fire emblem engage, triangle strategy,shin megami tensei v, fire emblem three houses in that order lol

Neo the world ends with you is such a based pick, you deserve a like just for that

Astral chains has very similar ties to chaos legion from the ps2 era. The sword, arrow, fist legion etc.

Im still trying to find that one switch game with blue menues and it shows the the party together i think 3 or so very artsy and there was a witch character too

OT 2 has one of the most beautiful HD2D graphics.

If he thinks SMT5 is hard then I'd LOVE to hear him talk about SMT3

I already knew Xc3 was gonna be number 1 before I watched this 😂 good video

I hope they make a physical for Sea of Stars, and Chained echoes while waiting for eiyuden chronicles.

well this is interesting, especially the #1 on this list.

Great list still I miss Front Mission Remake, Undertale and TWEWY 2. My personal favorites are SMTV, MHS2 and FE3H... and Xenoblade 3 Future Redeemed if that counts.

Monster Hunter Rise is one of my favorite games on the Switch. Sunbreak was definitely worth the jump. *still watching*

i recommend cyber sleuth complete edition aswell. its two games in one and goes on sale all the time.

SOLID LIST. Couldn't agree more!

NEO is so slept on

I also really love ff12 zodiac age but I'm its a ps2 game remastered so probably doesnt could but that is soo good to play on switch. Also smt3 nocturne

can I have the games listed please so I can reference them?

Yes! Thank you for showing astral chain😊. I don’t see many talk about this game 🥹

Imo, there are a few other games that deserve a spot here, like Tales of Vesperia DE, Ni No Kuni 1 and 2, Bravely Default II, Ys VIII and IX, Fate Samurai Remnant, Rune Factory 5, Trials of Mana. Otherwise, great and almost complete list.

I would love to play Atelier Ryza 3 but I honestly do not think I now have the time to play the first two before.

Excelent.

Another banger

Tactics Ogre: Reborn deserved a place, it's better than Triangle Strategy. Fantastic story and top tier tactical gameplay.

Watching this makes me realise how many great exclusive RPGs released on this damn system lol. Astral Chain, Xenoblade 3, Triangle Strategy, FETH, MH Rise+Sunbreak, SMT V etc., stone cold classics. It’s even crazier to think that it will get even better on the Switch 2, what with stronger hardware and more devs that will take the system seriously from the beginning (looking at you Atlus 🙄).

Can you do a meh & mid 25 JRPGS thx ☺️

How is Ys Viii Lacrimosa of Dana not on your list?

23 Games in my collection 😊

"the new goat" You're goddamn right

MHS 2 runs amazing on Switch (lite).

Early contender!

I'm a big fan of Xenogears and Xenosaga, so now I'm trying out Xenoblade Chronicles, seeing what it's like. I'm starting with the third game, which people say is the best, but I also have the first one.

I don’t know about you but the main characters on Neo World Ends with You are DU-umb to the tenth power. Like… wuuuh??? 😂

I know some are angry but I also know there will always be disagreement, I am happy to see 2 trails games on the list.

I am interested in or have played 10 out of these 25 JRPG's

You can beat the trails games relatively quick if you use the turbo button

Something very small and unique about JRPG SKIES OF ARCADIA is that the main character has 2 girls who like and travel with him and romance is not even the main genre of the game. AND ALSO ITS NOT SOMETHING STUPID WHERE YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE 1 OR THE OTHER

my all time favorite jrpg series is the Tales Of Series. but Xenoblade has become my #2 . well its pretty close with Xenoblade and Dragon Quest. however for me Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is my favorite of the series thus far . i love all 4 games but XB2 just holds a special place for me .

Xenoblade 3 is phenomenal i actually respect it as number 1. But for me my list is 1.persona 5 2. Nier automata 3. Dragon quest 11 4. Xenoblade 3 5. Fire emblem three houses 6. Monster hunter rise 7. Xenoblade 2 8. Smt5 9. Octopath traveller 10. Dragon quest builders 2

"Edelgard was Wrong" omg THANK YOU

It is truly a pitty that Fate Samurai Remnant is THE best RPG out there on the Switch and it's not getting all the fuzz it deserves. I have clocked so far 40+ hrs in this game so I can give a solid opinion on how good this game is.

Fire emblem engage is a great game

Make a space for Astlibra Revision.

Best action RPG OJ, Fate Samurai Remnant.

Story Overworld Section Battle phase Charaters

In my opinion Dragon Quest XI S is the best jrpg on Switch. Its just that good.

In no world would I rank sea of stars over chained echos.

Id like to add an Honorable Mention to this list in the form of Star Ocean: The Second Story R who couldn,t make it to this list because it releases tonight as of writing this comment

Is JRPG a Style of RPG?

chained echoes number 1

“edelgard was wrong” VILE💀💀💀

Thanks for the xenoblade 3 spoilers

25:11 The franchise has always been innovating and changing things up so I wouldn’t say predictable Predictability isn’t the samething as tradition They have always experimented with new concepts and mechanics Like breeding,natures,abilities, following pokemon, overworld encounters, physical special split, mega evolution,Zmoves, gigantamax/dynamax amie/refresh/camping, even motion controls from let’s go do these features not count as evolving/progressing are these things not ambitious? The restructuring of the traditional Pokémon format by having the third legendary as the main focus not to mention being the first Pokémon games ever to do DLC and the regional evolutions Also the various QoL stuff even having dynamax and gigantamax and you would not have SV without the wild area all of these new ideas and things for the franchise Are these not ambitious I mean all these things have changed the franchise in substantial ways Every generation offers something ambitious is replacing gyms with trials not ambitious? Or making the galar league a tournament like the anime instead of a traditional elite four is that not ambitious Sure none of them have ever been this super drastic But to say it’s “finally evolving” is a bit disingenuous Has the steps in previous games been a bit smaller I mean sure But baby steps and even medium steps is still progression Why do we count this and not those Shouldn’t it all count? Some of these things maybe temporary but they are still creative and ambitious and drastically change the course of the franchise so they count

There are only two endings to Sea of Stars. You keep acting lile there are several. You can find secret "developer" room, if you want to count that as a third, but it's not a true ending of the game.

SMTV was So Good, I almost left my wife for it. I regret that I didn't.

Once Atlus releases a mainline SMT game with actually good story, characters, and alignments, SMT V is going to be forgotten so quickly. People will struggle to remember anything about it other than "It's the one with the femboy protagonist and uhhhh.... deserts."

Cold steel 3 has a good pacing? Funny

WHAAT LONG VIDDDD

no fsr huh damn and here i thought it was decent enough to be played by people who doesn't know fate series

NO Y's?

a new list... three days before Star Ocean 2 R....

Just because a game is made by a Japanese developer does not mean its a JRPG (Nier Automata and Monster Hunter Rise)

Great list OJ, the Switch is a proper haven for quality RPG's.

No Ni no Kuni ? No Final Fantasy VI ? No Tales of Symphonia? No YsVIII ? No Trials of Mana? If ports are disqualified, why is Valkyria Chronicle 1 and The World Ends with You on your list? (Although I agree that Valkyria Chronicles 1 should be on your list, it's a phenomenal game.)

Nier Automata is the best game ever made IMHO. I wouldn't consider it an RPG though.

SmtIV was 5x harder than V

xenoblade nr.1

Some are PC Games.

great list!
