Throughout the years, I have been on many journeys in JRPGs, meeting loads of characters along the way, and watching them save the world, countless times. JRPGs are my happy place, but one of the major things that makes this genre so enjoyable for me, is when these epic stories are driven by a strong, memorable cast of characters, and that all starts with the protagonist. This video is going to look at the Top 10 main characters of the genre.
💬I would love to hear what your favorite JRPG protagonists are, so let me know in the comments below!💬

Top 100 JRPGs of all time! Number 97: Valkyrie Profile
The JRPG genre has been evolving for around 40 years now. It has seen its share of ups and downs, but right now, its arguably in the best place that it has ever been. Since the early 80s, we’ve seen the releases of 1000s of JRPGs, or JRPG style titles, from hundreds of different developers, but it goes without saying that not all of them are created equally.
This series is going to look at the very best JRPGs ever made, or at least, my favorite. This is my personal top 100 JRPGs of all time! I’m certain my top 100 will be different to yours, so let me know your thoughts in the comments below. Is something too high? Is something too low, what do you think? 💬

![Bravely Default 2 - Review [This is why I love Job systems!]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XvRgYZeS8-c/mqdefault.jpg "Bravely Default 2 - Review [This is why I love Job systems!]
The original Bravely Default is a title that I have always wanted to play, but never got around to it due to me not really being a handheld gamer. This really disappointed me, as I have always been a HUGE fan of job systems in RPGs, which is something that fans of the series praise, as the stand out mechanic.
As you would expect, this acclaimed job system, as well as the unique Brave and Default battle mechanics, all make a return, and just like in the original, these are the standout features of Bravely default 2.
Now, despite what the name suggests, Bravely Default 2, is actually the third title in the series.
As soon as I started up the game, I immediately felt some old school vibes. Bravely Default 2 reminded me of the Super Nintendo era Final Fantasy games I used to love, all those years ago.
For those of you after an old school style JRPG, with a highly addictive job and combat system, then Bravely Default II, may be worth checking out.
Have you had a chance to play this yet? Let me know your thoughts.

![Lunar: Eternal Blue - Remastered Review [The Classic is back!]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_zWVQRyPD54/mqdefault.jpg "Lunar: Eternal Blue - Remastered Review [The Classic is back!]
Lunar 2: Eternal Blue! If you’re a JRPG veteran, chances are that you’ve plated this classic in the past. If not, then I’m so happy that you can now experience the HD remaster on modern consoles.
Lunar 2 Eternal Blue is THE classic JRPG experience, in every way imaginable. Personally, I played this classic about 20 years ago, and I didn’t remember much at all, but in many ways, it truly is a timeless classic.
If you’re a fan of Retro style JRPGs, both Lunar 1 and 2, come highly recommented.

![Folklore Review - PS3 [RPG Hidden Gem]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/b-XKa7Rie7k/mqdefault.jpg "Folklore Review - PS3 [RPG Hidden Gem]
Folklore is a title that has flown under the radar for a lot of gamers. Developed by the now, nonexistent, Game Republic and released exclusively for the Playstation 3, in 2007, it seems to have been overshadowed by a load of other, huge releases of the time such the console versions of The Elders Scrolls: Oblivion and Mass Effect.
I played Folklore for the first time years ago, and there’s a few things about it that really stood out to me, such as the dark, atmospheric art design, and mythological fairy tale setting. The way that Folklore combines elements of action, adventure, role playing, and graphic story telling is why this game is definitely worth checking out.
