This was my favorite genre on SNES, but I've mostly outgrown it since then, though I'm sure I would enjoy games if I played them. I like games that have RPG elements mixed in with other genres. Anything where you can level up characters and gain new stats and skills.

My favorite was Final Fantasy II. I want to get back to that at some point. I played about half way through the I guess PSP version on PSN but then did not play the DLC, which is supposedly just okay, but I'm sure I would like it anyway.

Last one I played, which did not immediately come to mind because I wasn't thinking ARPG, is Titan Quest. This is by far one of my most played games on Steam. It's dated, but I enjoy the character building and mythological setting. Almost 1000 hours in, and I still haven't explored everything. Still haven't touched the new DLC. People don't seem to like it very much, but I think at least the new class should be interesting. Now that there's a sequel coming, I'm not sure I'll get to that.

Hmmmm!!!
Last RPG I've played was a few days ago... the PS1 version of Final Fantasy 1 'w' I managed to get a physical copy of FF1+2 PS1 recently from this arcade/retro game shop I usually like to go to. I really like FF1, but I've only played the remakes from GBA and onwards, which have an easier difficulty compared to the NES/PS1 versions... and man, I can already feel it lol

When it comes to RPGs, I tend to like both turn based and action RPGs. Tactical RPGs on the other hand, I'm... well, I'm starting to get sort of okay at them! It's something at least ^^;

^I quite like some tactics RPGs, myself. Are you into Disgaea at all? I played the first two Disgaea games for ages-----‐----racked up hundreds of hours in each. Lot of things to do.

Final Fantasy XII. I'm not huge on turn-based battles, because I hate not having the ability to *react*. That said, I do like Pokemon & the Earthbound/Mother trilogy.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

The tactics franchise for me was Shining Force. Arguably the best reason to own a Genesis. I've played a couple since then, but that one always stood out to me. Valkyria Chronicles was good, though I remember needing to watch videos on a bunch of missions to figure out what to do. Disgaea is a franchise I have been interested in for a while but never checked out. I own the first two on Steam.

Oh yeah, I've played through some of them! Juuust the main story, though ^^; I have played through Disgaea 1 and 2 on Steam, then 4 on Switch. I do have 5 on Switch as well, but I kind of got burned out by then, oops.

Fun fact, I still got the Genuine Prinny items in Team Fortress 2 for having Disgaea 1. Although I don't really play TF2 nowadays, heh. It's weird, I got the items after the promotion was stated to end, too.

xenogears
tales of symphonia

have so many actually

golden age of jrpgs was the late 90s/early 2000s for sure

funny same as vgf

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

Pokemon Crystal, I think. I was going through it but got bored, it's an amazing game and better than gen 1, but a bit less replayable than its predecessors. It was a few weeks ago or so, I suppose.

My favorites are:

Final Fantasy X
Chrono Trigger
Super Mario RPG
Earthbound
Pokemon Yellow

Those are great picks. 90's & early 00's was amazing for JRPGs, but even the rest of the 00's were pretty good, at least on handhelds. 10's is where things really dropped off a lot, and nowadays there's rarely anything notable.
