JRPG

Hi I decided to play the Erdrick trilogy and I need some advices or recommendations to not messed up in-game.

I've been playing for a few hours and can confidently say that the combat in this game is extremely satisfying, as are the talent and magic systems (it's not exactly a 'tree', more like a well-crafted and balanced list). The narrative is compelling, featuring good humor and very nice writing. There are big bosses and challenging puzzles.

There's a lot to writing in JRPGs (story, plot, pacing, characters, narration, worldbuilding, etc.) and some games excel at some of those aspects and not so much at others. It's also a subjective topic.

So, I'd like to know. How do you rank JRPGs looking foremost at writing over other aspects like gameplay, visuals, music and so on? You can talk about your top JRPGs, or maybe highlight some high and low points writing-wise or hell if you want to rank every single JRPG you have played in regards to its writing I'll read ya! I did find this massive JRPG Tiermaker for those of you that want to rank a couple (or hundreds) of JRPGs in a more graphic form.

Or if you don't care about ranking but want to share some insights about this topic I'm all ears.
