Is Suikoden really good? I played it once years ago in the PS2, and while the story looked interesting, I didn't understand it well because it looked like a sequel, so I stopped playing and forgot this game until today.

If they were counted as one series, they'd probably knock Pokemon and Tales down a rank. I'm not sure if it would manage to outrank Final Fantasy, though.

This.

Pokemon games are only good for the collecting aspect. But everything else is shit, awful story, shitty battle system, still the same scheme since 1996 ...
Pokemon is the best in it's own category, but not as a RPG

Lolno. Edgelords and sluts dancing around with deus ex machina endings does not make an RPG good.

I can't stand Kingdom Hearts, I like Final Fantasy and Shin Megami Tensei, but KH story is very try hard to me in a specific way, trying to make disney cartoons look badass and putting Final Fantasy in middle for no good reason.
The Original Characters from the game looks like something from the Deviantart. It doesn't have it own identity.

I'm so sick of people using this as a reason to add a negative point to a game franchise.

Pokemon has just as much otaku pandering and waifu bait as every other JRPG, they just don't show as much because this is a series for kids.

It has one known game. No matter how great that one game is, it doesn't make a series.

Sorry, but Kingdom Hearts? That's like the one series on the list I find unjustifiable.

I like Mana a lot. Secret of Mana was probably my second favorite SNES game, after Link to the Past, but Legend of Mana (I think that was what it was called) on PlayStation was kind of weird.

It deserved to be rated that high because it has something most RPGs don't: online battling and a use beyond the first run through.

I think it's fair. I don't necessarily agree as I think ff peaked at 6 and went down from there, really crashing after 8.
I'm a sucker for the Tales Of series.
it seems dq will never live up to the expectations I've gotten from playing dq8
I can see how the ordering came about though. It's fair even though I wouldn't rank it as it is

Nah, to me 7, 8 and 9 were all great ones (together with 4, 5 and 6 and even 3 and 1).
In 10 is that the game started to became too different, it still was a good game that resembles FF.

When Square Enix was formed, than it started to became bad, X-2 was horrible, 12 has a extremely boring story, but it has so much content (more than any FF game) that the gameplay is addictive at certain point, it's a good RPG, but it really don't resemble Final Fantasy.

Then came FF13... Oh shit FF13 is the peak of the all that's wrong with the franchise. I still have hope for FF15 somehow, and good expectations for FF7 Remake, maybe it can make I feel the magic touch in the series again like I first played in 1998.

Literally nobody cares about your waifus and Mint is the first lifeless retard I thought of when I wrote that post. And I thought Rosa was bad in FFIV for being the most boring "healer girl".

The series has very few decent female characters that aren't otaku pandering drones (Mary, Raine, Rutee and Farah), besides those few you'll have dozens of "sweet", "quirky" or "tsundere" archetypes
