A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Left feeling a bit empty after playing it for the first time a few months ago(why did I wait so long?) I am afraid no JRPG will be able to surpass it. Would love to have a discussion about similar games that reach the same quality level (Note: I have already played Final Fantasy VI ).

I can't believe it hasn't been mentioned much but Secret of Mana is definitely a strong contender as GOAT JRPG, as good if not better than Chrono Trigge imo.

Better? Never. I will say it is the by far the best real multi player rpg I’ve played.

multiplayer? would it be a good game for a couple?

Oh totally, and one player can readily dip in and dip out if you’ve got differing interest levels.

damn, never realized that's a thing. My SO doesn't have the time to game that much, so that'd be really helpful.

Can you recommend other games with similar multiplayer mechanics as well?

I agree. When I have my SNES nostalgia, I play Secret of Mana first, then Chromo Trigger for the withdrawals.
