the ONLY jrpg tier list you'll ever need!
I was pretty liberal with my definition of JRPG in this video. Obviously not all of these games are made in Japan, but to me JRPG is more of a descriptive term than a locational one; like how you can made French fries outside of France. I included turn-based, strategy, and action RPGs here, but I didn't include Musou games or roguelikes, for example. The lines are blurry, but this is what I came up with.
I totally forgot Super Mario RPG! It's an A; right behind Chrono Trigger, and it holds up just as well.
In case it wasn't obvious that last bit was a joke. All opinions are just my own and if you disagree that's obviously fine. Honestly, if you still need people on the internet to tell you that there's no saving you.
Yes I am aware intrusivity is not a word. I use it interchangeably with the real word I should use: intrusiveness. Idc, stay mad.
Feel free to reach out on X/Twitter! I don't post or read posts but I'll respond to messages.
