Top 100 JRPGs of all time! Number 81: Baten Kaitos #batenkaitos #jrpg #rpg
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? 💬

Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai. This is a spin-off of the widely renowned Dragon Quest series. Well, the game is actually based off the anime series, which was based off the manga series released in the 90s.
Going into this game, I had never read, the Magna or seen the Anime, but you really don’t need to, as Infinity Strash is a retelling of these events. The gameplay is also completely different to what you would expect from a mainline dragon quest game, but still retains a visual style and other elements that does make it feel Dragon Questy.
But, the question that you came here for! Is Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai worth playing? Watch and find out!

At last, I can finally breath! The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has been consuming my life for the past month. It’s one of those rare games, where I have little self-control over turning off the Switch and calling it a day. The game is just so easy to get lost in.
It’s prequel, Breath of the Wild, was an outstanding game, and somehow, Tears of the Kingdom manages to improve this winning formula in just about every way.

Tales of Vesperia is one that I missed back in 2009, all those years ago. The fact that it was an Xbox 360 exclusive meant that it slipped through the cracks. In early 2019, Tales of Vesperia was finally made a lot more accessible with the Definitive Edition releasing modern consoles and PC. This definitive edition features a load of new content, including new characters, music, story content and side quests. Now, it still took me a good 18 months to finally pick this up and play it, even with my expectations being massive! So, what did I think? Watch this review to find out!

![Beast of Reincarnation - Review [The Reincarnation of GameFreak!]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/o9CB7lj99P8/mqdefault.jpg "Beast of Reincarnation - Review [The Reincarnation of GameFreak!]
If I could describe Beast of Reincarnation, I would say it feels a little like Nier Automata and plays a little like Sekiro, which are two of my favourite games of all time. But this Beast of a game also has a few innovative ideas that keep it feeling fresh, especially when it comes to the combat.
Now, some of the reviews out there have been on the mediocre side, and I personally believe that the game deserves more credit that it has got from some sources. Sure it has some issues, but I had a blast with it.

I recently finished playing through the entire Trails series in just a few months. One day, I casually started Trails of Cold Steel 1, not really knowing what I was in for, then, in the blink of the eye, all 9 games were completed.
Today, I’m going to attempt the difficult task of trying to rank all of these games. This is, of course, my opinion only, and I’m sure that many of you will think differently. From what I’ve seen, I know there are many different opinions out there, so I would also really like to know how you would rank the Trails games that you’ve played, so let me know in the comments.
I’m also going to try my hardest not to specifically spoil important plot points for you, but as these games are all directly linked, just seeing gameplay footage from certain games may give some minor things away.
If you liked this review, and the Trails series, it would help out a lot if you hit like and subbed if you want more RPG and Trails content.

![Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition - Review [Best Exploration RPG EVER!]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pEkjIMNqt7Y/mqdefault.jpg "Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition - Review [Best Exploration RPG EVER!]
It would be hard to name a series that has consistently had a higher standard of games than the Xeno series, and this is largely why it’s one of my favorite gaming series of all time.
Xenoblade Chronicles X was originally released in 2010, as a unrelated sequel to Xenoblade Chronicles. That game was my favorite game on the Wii, so naturally, I had huge expectations for the sequel on the Wii U.
While very different from its predecessor and the other titles in the Xenoblade series, it did not disappoint, and easily took the title of my favorite RPG on the Wii U console.
This game is great, and this review is going to dive deep into why you should give it a go!
