Best "J" RPGs

I've been thinking alot about JRPGs and which ones are the best. This taste could change in like 1 day and I only put games on here that I finished, which isn't that much. I dont know if tactics games or other stuff should be on here. This is more just for shits and giggles. Also, my english is not quite the best, so sorry if I sound like a complete idiot.

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne

1. Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne

This might share the first place with CT. Both games are really different. Nocturne's system is brutal and the setting is dark and hopeless. If you know what to do, you can beat this game without that much pain. But for your first playthrough, you're going to remember the game over screen. It's brutal and thats why I love it.

Chrono Trigger

2. Chrono Trigger

The "perfect RPG, you might say. Especially for beginners. Combat is great, characters are memorable and the story starts easy and gets more complicated.

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4

3. Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4

Hey, if you visited this website, you might have seen this game before.

Paper Mario

4. Paper Mario

The only real N64 RPG. And some crazy people might say it's better then every PS1 RPG (it doesn't get more brash then this). But seriously, Paper Mario has charm, character and alot more. It's quite a Master Piece.

Dark Souls

5. Dark Souls

Final Fantasy VI

6. Final Fantasy VI

Mother 3

7. Mother 3

Bizarre and really strange at some parts. Also the fighting feels way better compared to Earthbound.

Persona 5

8. Persona 5

Final Fantasy VII

9. Final Fantasy VII

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

10. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
