ffvi spoilers
@jackleveledup Yes! It wasn't FFVI that got us into the genre, that honor probably goes to Pokemon for introducing the mechanics and then maybe Baten Kaitos for showing just how excellent the stories can be, but FFVI is still one of our all-time favorites. I'd definitely put it on a best-of-all-time list.
@jackleveledup I really wanted to put Morrowind on there but that's a WRPG, not a JRPG
Also considered putting Xenoblade Chronicles, 1 or 2 or both, but eh, the fanservice problem those games have works against them somewhat, as well as the phoned-in sidequest system of the first one
Stories are fantastic though.
