Kotaku:
There comes a time when every person must sit back, think about his or her life’s accomplishments, and wonder, “What JRPGs should I play?”
Are you excited for the forthcoming Visions of Mana? This retrospective of the Mana series will tell you all about the franchise thus far.
After 20 long years, can Square Enix finally give us the coveted cover-art version of the game?
I'm still waiting for a proper Final Fantasy game that looks exactly like Yoshitaka Amano's art. Dissidia proved how ridiculously amazing that would look like but it was still not close enough. They need to go for broke on Amano's art style and design.
I don't care if it's a remake of 5 or 6 or a new entry, just make it happen at some point in this life time SquareEnix...
Secret of Mana recently turned 30 years old in Japan, and to celebrate this seminal action RPG's anniversary, Alana of Nintendo Life is reminiscing about how the game's use of colour inspired a fascination with RPG worlds...
Kotaku did a ton of bad articles and especially lists, but this one is pretty good. There are way too many great j-rpg's though to get them all into a best list with only 20 of them..and personally I wouldn't put action rpg's like Secret of Mana or strategical rpgs like FF Tactics in a list with traditional jrpgs like Final Fantasy VI or Xenogears though.
Okay...after all..maybe their list was not soooo good. Hmm well..its Kotaku after all.
There are a ton of great jrpgs. So many that didn't make the list though. I was a little sad that FFX didn't make the list. I thought the story was outstanding.
Breath of Fire III deserve to be on a list such as this one & also Tactics Ogre > FF: Tactics & RPGFan agree with me on this

Lots of great titles in this list.
I'm going to try and platinum Ni No Kuni before NNK2 comes out, P4G before Persona 5 comes out, and Final Fantasy VII before part one of the Remake comes out. I think I've got time.
Final Fantasy IX
