Top 10 Forgotten JRPGs
While big names like “Final Fantasy” have gotten all the glory, these gems have been hidden away. Join as we countdown our picks for the Top 10 Forgotten JRPGs. Subscribe►► Facebook►► Twitter►► Suggestion Tool►► Channel Page►►
For this list we are counting down RPG’s that were considered pretty good when they were released but was never given the chance to shine. This means that games like “Golden Sun” don’t count because even though they aren’t as big as other RPG’s they are still pretty well known.

Has anyone here played Threads of Fate? It's quite the hidden gem.
I feel like Legend of Legaia should be part of this, sure it has its faults but it was an entertaining forgotten game.
Terranigma is also quite awesome. Also Seiken Densetsu (aka secret of mana), lufia, breath of fire, soulblazer & Illusion of time/gaia and baten kaitos come to mind. Cant forget all the "tales of" games (huge tales fanboy here). Somebody also already mentioned lost odyssey also a beautiful game
Legend of Dragoon was my fave!
Everyone remembers Legend of Dragoon and Skies of Arcadia. I'd have liked to see Saga Frontier or Legend of Legaia get some love.
@1:19 Important.
My fav Legend of dragoon
Ah! Here we find Alundra even though it should be in the Top 10 PS1 RPGs list. This game is so good and hardly anyone knows about it. The game is very sad though. Secret of Evermore and Parasite Eve have been forgotten.
I recently replayed The Legend of Dragoon. The character connections and story of the entire game is extremely well done, and disappointing more folks didn't play this. I also realize a prequel/sequel isn't necessary but would be interesting to see if they could do a sequel.
I would have to disagree with this list highly; though I may be biased since Wild Arms 1 is one of my all time fav games, but really the franchise had tons of follow up titles, including a remake of the original game, which is not something that happens with forgotten games. So this list is kinda off. But w/e * shrugs *
Loved both Lunar games! Also The Last Story was amazing.
No Legend of Legaia? Disappointing
I never thought of Tales of Vesperia as a forgotten JRPG. That was a pretty good game!
What about Xnosaga
Xenogears is another great jrpg. Recommend anyone who hasn't played it, to pick up a copy and enjoy! 🙂
I am here because of the thumbnail! Finally someone loves Legend of the Dragoon just like me!
Breath of fire?
Brave story new traveler
Skies of Arcadia is the Sh!t man.
ALUNDRA!
A masterpiece. A respect every gamer that has finished that game. A real challenge! And the storyline, so dark, depressing and mysterious. 10/10.
Today i play again and again legend of the dragon….dart rose zieg eternity live black moster moon child virage make a destruction..winglies gigantos human and dragon live together but have a crisis make a beutiful story…i like legend of dragon very much..today i play again at phone..with emulator psxone
What about Symphony of the Origin!!!
uh?…, no Lufia 2?…
Nice
The Legend of Dragoon is still my number 1 favorite game
Nice to see Skies of Arcadia get some recognition. However there's a huge omission in my opinion. Where the heck are the Baten Kaitos games
LEGEND OF THE DRAGOON NEEDS A REBOOT!!!!!
PLEASE REMASTER LEGEND OF DRAGOON SONY
V O L C A N O
Looks like pokemon :⊙
Lunar would have been my favorite, despite being underrated!
More like list of games you SHOULDN 'T play with English Dubs. EVER!
I need to find a JRPG that's unknown or make my own.
I only gave it a like because of that SKIES OF ARCADIA, YEA BOY!
Legend of Legaia!!!
Lunar 1 and 2 was amazing
legend of dragoon remake, please motherfuckers of sony.
Playing Dark Cloud after watching Futurama.
Sirus isn't actually the villain, he's a clone scraped off of the growth on the Emperor's back.
Also, I'm surprised that Breath of Fire and The Legend of Heroes aren't on here.
Skies of Arcadia is amazing. finding all the hidden things in the sky is hell lol did it tho. Back in the days of writing down list and figuring out you'er self. Also i put Rouge Galaxy on the list as well as Arc series
Thx .
