TheJRPGgenre is alive and well.
JRPGs include some of the most beloved titles in all video game history.
These are the best JRPGs for newcomers to the genre.
Digimon fever was hitting its apex.

Why A Remake?
What Are The Odds?
A modern spin on Jade Cocoon could be something special.
If nothing else, well always have the PS2 sequel to enjoy.
Bit of a recurring theme, we’ll warn you now.
But uh, we’re not overly confident this will ever be revisited.
The timing can be a tad wonky.
A remake could right a lot of wrong turns in The Legend of Dragoon.
5Wild Arms
This is a fun one.
Why, then, do we think that self-same original game warrants a second remake?
But again - Armed Fantasia!
Were hoping for the best.
Fans of the JRPG genre remember the PlayStation era with fondness.
Here is a look at the ten best JRPGs from that time period.

2Chrono Trigger
Theres a reason they call it the dream team.
Should Chrono Trigger ever be remade, millions of diehards will doubtless scrutinize whatever comes of it.
If anything, we had a tough time narrowing this down to just fourteen.
Why remake it, then?
Besides, itd be a bona fide revival of what may be gamings shortest-lived beloved series.
Chrono Cross, a far more divisive but nonetheless beautiful sequel, landed in 2000.
Its been 24 years and counting since Cross… its time.
Chrono Trigger commands a legion of fans for a reason.
Still, it’s a tall ask.
A lot of money would need to go into this one.
Xenogears is, frankly, outrageous in scope.
It could have been the start of its own series.
It wasnt meant to be.
Even still, theres still nothing like Xenogears.
They threw everything but the kitchen sink at this one, and it nearly came apart at the seams.
The benefits of a Xenogears remake rather speak for themselves, then.
But it might be the most far-fetched inclusion on this list… and thats saying something.
JRPGs are alive and well.
but there were just so many of ‘em for PS2.
