Definitely agree with number one (Xenoblade Chronicles). Fantastic, wonderful, *insert your own positive adjective here*.

I loved the combat, the story was engaging, the world was breathtaking, and the soundtrack was absolutely awesome.

MaxXAttaxX4097d ago

Xenoblade was pretty good. But I have beef with some of the choices made:

First of all, I'm not sure why they put Persona 3 and 4 together. They're awesome games on their own, especially P4 Golden. That game takes the cake for one of the very best games in recent years. It should also be higher on the list.

Tales of Graces F was better than Vesperia.

And Valkyria Chronicles could have been included I think.

wishingW3L4097d ago

Valkyria Chronicles in "honorable mentions", what a joke! Valkyria is much better than half the games in that Top 10 for god's sake....

joab7774097d ago

I agree. It was my favorite but ni no kuni may beat it. Not sure yet. It is funny how many of my favorite games ever are kn this list, including dragons dogma, my favoriye game of 2012. Now, we need anoth Valkyria, Dragons Dogma, Persona and Lost Odyssey.

Also, isnt it funny that FF decided this genre was dying so they began morphing into another generic, saturated genre. Why cant tbey see that what we want is old tradition jrpg updated. U can evolve without ditching everything that made it great. They baffle me.

Maybe it should have been a top 11 then. I'm currently 5 hours into VC 2...the only one I've played a I like it a lot so far. It's different...in a good way.

deep_fried_bum_cake4097d ago

I would say that so is Tales of Graces f, but that hasn't even made the honourable mentions.

ThyMagicSword4097d ago

Xenoblade Chronicles deserves to be the best on the list, even people who do not like JRPGs could like Xenoblade.

Godmars2904097d ago

At the very least, FF13 isn't anywhere on the list.

karlowma4097d ago

Lost Odyssey was a fantastic game that any fans of PS1/PS2 era JRPG's really need to check out.

Also nice to see some recognition for Crisis Core. This game was so well done, and works perfectly on a handheld. Also, the CG in this game is AMAZING. Youtube it.

How long until they get sued and it gets taken down? I say a month or 2

PRIMORDUS7h ago

Sued for what? It's just an emulator no ROMs are with it. ROMs are easy to get anyway, but with iPhone you can't just copy and paste like Android unless it's jail broken I think. Anyway Nintendo should be more concerned with their ROMs up to torrent for years for all of their concoles, but then again they can't do nothing about it, they never will and I love it. 🤣

As long as it isn't emulating the Switch, it'll be fine.

RonnySins5h ago

Naaah! Don't want to waste time emulating on iPhone.

Knightofelemia4h ago

Won't belong before Nintendo bangs on Apple's door to have the emu removed. Like I say you take down one six more take it's place. Problem is people are putting emu's on such stupid platforms. The good emus are the ones not on stupid platforms like a red target. The good emu's are word of mouth and keep a low profile.

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

Odd this and the xillia games still haven't gotten remasters yet.
