Original list by Jon Mundy, updated by Artur Novichenko. We've had to leave a whole bunch of iOS JRPGs off the following list, so do let us know about your own personal favourites in the comments section below. And there are a bunch of completely fresh JRPGs to discover too, both on Apple Arcade and the wider App Store. The great thing is that you can now play all of those big-hitting franchises right here on your iPhone or iPad.

Dragon Quest is beloved by many, as are the SaGa and Monster Hunter games. Lift heavy boulders, throw explosive bombs and sling yourself across obstacles to discover hidden pathways. But we could also be talking about dozens of other JRPG heroes.Īlongside the seminal (and seemingly interminable) Final Fantasy franchise, several other JRPG IPs have left their mark. A Link to Classic Adventure Begin your adventure in Kanterbury, a world in turmoil from the Invaders' attack, destined to be saved by the Legendary Guardian FEATURES. OK, we're just describing Cloud from Final Fantasy VII.

JRPGs routinely give you outlandish characters, often with spiky hair and amnesia, and perhaps even a ridiculously large sword. Japan's take on the West-spawned genre is just as obsessed with hit points and deep fantasy lore, but it applies a unique swagger and sensibility to proceedings. There are RPGs, and then there are JRPGs. Updated on April 8, 2023 - swapped 1 game
