My RPG Completion List

Here's a (non exhaustive) list of some of the RPGs I've completed over the many, many years

Showing 1-10 of 63 items

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4

1. Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4

As far as I'm concerned, the new standard in JRPG (and video game) storytelling. Watch the endurance run videos; should be self-explanatory.

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES

2. Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES

Another great game (with some story-based reservations). Very similar to P4, but more of a niche, hardcore title. The FES chapter is particularly cumbersome. I'd recommend playing P4 first.

The World Ends with You

3. The World Ends with You

Square's best attempt at innovation in some time. This is a decent DS RPG, but a bit overwhelming for a portable title.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

4. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Easily my favorite game of this console generation.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles

5. The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles

This is one of the earliest Xbox DLC packs, but still one of the best ever. 30 hours + and a whole new world of content. This is how to do an expansion.

Chrono Trigger

6. Chrono Trigger

I didn't play this until after the SNES era, so this one didn't have the lasting classic appeal. However, it's definitely a step forward for the time, and remains a good game 15 years later.

Chrono Cross

7. Chrono Cross

One of the best video game soundtracks ever made. Also, the game had serious replay value, to add to the 40 or so playable characters.

Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls

8. Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls

These are more history pieces than anything, for the time, great games, but not much to them now.

Final Fantasy III

9. Final Fantasy III

The DS remake is the ideal version of this game, but it is a simple, fun RPG.

Final Fantasy IV

10. Final Fantasy IV

One of the classic JRPGs, and probably the first "true" modern JRPG, given its deep story elements. Both the original SNES version and DS version are worth playing.
