Quote:In honour of Final Fantasy XIII-2's release this past week, we've decided to compile a list of our ten favourite Japanese role-playing games for the current home console / handheld generation. While things have been tough in general for Japan as of late, there have been a numerous titles to truly capture the spirit of a JRPG and pushed the genre in new directions.

I'm so glad to see that Xenoblade was included. Far too many lists leave this amazing game out for some reason. It is much too good to pass up.

I never expected to see Crisis Core on this list, not because it doesn't deserve to be here, but because I completely forgot that it was released in this generation. -_-

I'm happy to see XIII made the list. It may be disputed whether it is a good Final Fantasy game, but it's still a good JRPG either way.

And seeing The World Ends With You on the list... it seems I am being constantly bombarded with signs telling me to get that game!

Oh, and Birth By Sleep ftw! Big Grin (By which I mean that is my favourite game on this list)

Great to see that Resonance of Fate got an honorable mention, I just cannot get enough of it's agile, fast-paced combat system.

And it's characters are pretty damn cool

Great article. VC and ToV were indeed amazing titles. I also loved many others on this list as well as still need to play titles such as LO and TWEWY.

Eternal Sonata on the other hand. I loved the beautiful music and art, but I absolutely despised the combat system haha.. block was so unforgiving.

It's too bad that square isn't making a squel to TWEWY because in the secret reports, they set up this awesome universe that could really be explored really well and make another awesome series like Kingdom Hearts with great story and universe.

I was about to post a big disapprove reply to this list, but then realised that anything that I'd replace the list with weren't games from this gen.

Seems like a have huge nostalgia blinder shades on. XD

Dark Souls....You picked Dark Souls over ES or RoF? Personally, I'd put Qoga/Totori up there in place of Dark Souls/Xenoblade. Dark Souls I wouldn't consider enough of a JRPG to be on this list, and Xenoblade was far too slow-paced and a huge letdown.
