Diehard GameFAN writes, "With the new subquest, you'll be able to learn WHY Giovanni never responded to Team Rocket as well as get some back story behind both the one time leader of the Viridian City Gym, but your rival, Silver as well. To activate this quest, you'll have to take the special "Fateful Encounter" Celebi to Ilex Forest, which long time Pokefans will know is Celebi's home and where you could obtain one in the original Pokemon Crystal. Once in the forest, go to the Ilex Shrine and click on it. Your friend Lyra/Ethan (The replacement for Krys and Gold) will appear. The two of you will talk and then Celebi will take the two of your through time and space to three years earlier."
The 2024 Game Anniversaries include some major titles including Half-Life 2, Uncharted 2, and Minecraft.
The Pokemon Company has a solid thing going right now. Well, it’s been going on for a while, actually, but it has been a while since dual-typing was introduced into the monster-taming series. So what if the series added Pokemon with 3 typings? What would that mean?
It’s foolish to say that one RPG is "better" than all the rest across systems and generations. This is merely the 25 RPGs we feel are the best and nothing more!

Dragon Quest 11 isn't even the best Dragon Quest game, it's a good game, but not the best. Dragon Quest 8 is superior to it in almost every way.

I don't play too many jrpgs, and I'm trying to diversify a bit.
Outside of FF and Dragon Quest, what two games from that list do you most recommend someone trying? Doesn't matter if it's a sequel to another game or not.
You have Threads of Fate on there which means you get my ultimate respect. Underrated and overlooked.
I like your top 6 a lot. I don't have the same orders but all those games would make my top 10 RPG list most likely. Number 1 for me is FFIX. It holds a special place in my heart and imo it's the perfect Final Fantasy game.
In addition I would give special mention to some western RPG's as well: Skyrim and Mass Effect 2 were iconic games. Out of JRPG's I'd like to add Disgaea 2 on that list.
Some of my personal favorites are Planescape: Torment, New Vegas, Morrowind, Kotor 2, Wasteland 3, Witcher 2, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, Deus Ex, Disco Elysium and Vampyr.
As far as jrpg, while I'm not as big a fan as I am for Western RPGs, I love Persona 3 - 5, Dragon Quest 8 and 11, Rogue Galaxy, Final Fantast 6,7, and 12; and Lost Odyssey.
