Good morning fellow gamers,
I'm here to ask and to see if anyone here has a "Top 3" Turn-based RPG games. I have completed majority of the NES/SNES/PS1 Final Fantasy Series, Super Mario RPG, Lost Odyssey, and Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana.
Not a lot, but I would like to know if there are more games similar to these I listed. I am 100% about trying anything out, as the JRPG/RPG is not as complicated or hard anymore. (Grant it I'm 30, been playing since I was a kid haha).
Thanks.
So you are 30 and still want to play childish weebaboo games? I don`t think that should be encouraged.

What are you looking for out of them? More story based or mechanics based?
Anyways, Phantasy Star IV excels at both and is one of the best 16 bit RPGs flat out. The Lunars are good too.

You're a special one.

You're missing a lot, notably Chrono Trigger and Breath of Fire. Pokemon has a lot of spergs but it's a classic turn based RPG and there's enormous love among RPG players for MegaTen. Phantasy Star is a great series. Robotrek is an obscure gem. Lagrange Point was recently translated. There's a lot. Like a lot a lot.
1. Phantasy Star 2
2. Phantasy Star 4
3. Lunar 2: Eternal Blue on Sega CD
Honorable Mentions: FF5-7, Skies of Arcadia, Panzer Dragoon Sagaand, while it's not /vr/ yet, I am a big fan of Riviera on the GBA

Phantasy Star really looks amazing.

Seeing Chrono Trigger play through does look amazing.
Thanks dudes/lady dudes for giving me some good pointers. I'm jump on Chrono Trigger this Friday. I will hit this thread up again, or make another one once I complete said games you all brought up.
Thank you !!

Have you played any of the SaGa games? It was sort of the sister series to Final Fantasy, but not as widely known outside of Japan due to a lack of localization, or in some cases, retitled localizations. The "Final Fantasy Legend" games for Game Boy were actually the first SaGa games, for instance.
Aside from that, I'd recommend classic computer RPGs like Bard's Tale, the D&D gold box games and Ultima. Grab a copy of DOSbox and dive in.
I would suggest you Chrono Trigger (snes) and Legend of the Dragoon (psx) and maybe chrono cross (psx). They all have A great story especially CT and LoD!

No I have not sadly, I greatly appreciate the people here giving me information towards potentially great games (to me).
I tracked down a Chrono Trigger emulator, starting tomorrow night.

Wat
>>2826431
Fallout (better story than FO2, so it wins despite inferior replay value)
Unnethack (fork of Nethack with the tedious parts replaced)
X-COM: UFO Defense (it has named characters who gain experience and upgrade equipment, so it's an RPG). Play this one in OpenXCOM for the interface improvements and bug fixes.

RPGs are about more than just XP and equipment. One of your games is a rougelike, the other is a strategy game.

How are they different from Fallout? All three require more tactical thought than JRPG spam A to win.

>All three require more tactical thought than JRPG spam A to win.
Which is one of the things that makes them not JRPGs. I don't have time to explain every genre definition to you, but the point is they exist for a reason. Roguelikes may have experience, levels and equipment but are fundamentally different from RPGs. Hence the different genre name.
All three of the games you listed are good though, no debate there.

Op wanted "turn-based" RPGs, not "JRPGs".
