What are the JRPGs you should play to "do your research" on the genre? For example, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, etc.
Chrono Trigger
Secret of Mana
Vagrant Story
Final Fantasy 6/7
Star Ocean Till the end of time
Dragon Quest 8
There's honestly a bunch, and if you're played one, you basically played them all, except for the niche cross genre ones that are half SRPG like tactics, and fire emblem, and the last remnant

Well I think at a certain point you're playing them for the story.
Oh shit is this thread what I think it is?
every final fantasy up to 7
chrono trigger
secret of mana
dragon quest 8
the mother trilogy
tales of symphonia
xenogears and xenoblade (the original, not X)

Gotta spread that out anon.
If we do it everytime it'll lose its luster.

Xenoblade X made me do a bunch of reading before the game came out because not every game mechanic is explicit

Battle Network 2 & 3 for the best gameplay.
Ar tonelico and Surge Concerto for the best music.
Dragon Quest for where it all started and probably the most consistently solid series.
As for story, I don't know. Never understood why fags like stories so much.
Secret of Mana is good, but Chrono Trigger seems a little too basic when I can just get a better game with DQ.
