The 19 best JRPGs to play right now

What are the best JRPGs? This genre is, nowadays, at least, subtly different from Western RPGs, and while the genre as a whole has evolved since the early days, it tends to keep the emphasis on its two key tropes: long stories with memorable characters, and lots of grinding.

Some of the newer games on this list abandon traditional fantasy in favor of a more realistic setting. However, the classic style, at least when we think of JRPGs, conjures up images of mages, ferocious monsters, and a top-down perspective. Either way, these JRPGs bring a different flavor than what you can expect from the best RPGs in the West and could be considered some of the best PC games to fans of the genre.
