I don't think there are any good NES JRPGs. The first really good Final Fantasy game was 4, and that was on the SNES. I just can't imagine there being any decent JRPGs on the system due to the hardware limitations and lack of space on the NES cartridges.

Obviously, some games are going to diverge a bit. Some of these games will have more real-time combat; some will have a very small party; some won't actually be from Japan. Those issues will be addressed. But I feel there is a distinct difference between JRPGs and everyone elses, hence why we refer to them as JRPGs!

Apr 4, 2021 · NES: Sports (Duck Hunt, Excitebike, Punch-Out, Stadium Events) SNES: Trashy licensed platformers (in retrospect it would be JRPGs, but in real life it was a lot of Tom & Jerrys, Lion Kings and Marvel-adjacent clones of better things I found later via emulators) N64: 3D generally (Ocarina of Time, Mario 64, Blast Corps, Body Harvest)

The second of Data East's Ancient Greek-themed JRPGs, otherwise known as The Glory of Heracles, and the last to be released on the Famicom (NES). Summary Short summary describing this game.

As someone that's played RPGs since Dragon Warrior on the NES, the JRPG is one of my favorite genres. I generally like the plots, even if they aren't always the most complex, the battle systems, and pretty much everything else the genre is known for.

JRPGs have existed since the NES because the combat is just turn based and the mechanics themselves dont require a lot of horsepower. The closest I can see to it would be something like the Elder Scrolls 2 on the DS.

Aug 9, 2011 · Another Tri-Ace game, and happens to be one of my favourite PSX JRPGS. The Shadow Hearts Series (PSX, PS2) I really did not enjoy Koudelka and I only kinda enjoyed Shadow Hearts, but Shadow Hearts: Covenant is one of the best PS2 JRPGs. Grandia Series (PSX, PS2, DC, PC) Grandia 1 is my favourite game in the series, but all three are worth playing.

Pokemon is a grindfest, jrpgs aren't. I haven't really played a true jrpg that was a grindfest. FF7 definately isn't. " You don't consider walking around in circles looking for fights to raise your level to be grinding? And Pokemon is a JRPG. I'm not sure what your talking about "true" jrpgs. Pokemon is an rpg that was made in Japan.
