You gotta be an OG from at least the SNES days to formulate a top 5 JRPG list.

I love JRPGS but I ain't even got that much skin in the game. Way too many PS1/SNES JRPGS I haven't played/finished yet.

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

• Suikoden
• Secret of Evermore (IDGAF if it was mid, I loved the game)
• Earthbound
• Chrono Trigger
• Mother 1 (The game hits entirely different as a christian marsupial)

 

[Maximus Rex]

FFVI
Xenogears
Secret of Mana
FFVII
Wild Arms

 

[Dirty Mcdrawz]

FF6
FF7
Suikoden 2
Chrono Trigger
Xenogears

Panzer Dragoon Saga by far...
Prob not just my top RPG of all time but top game and I will explain why.
The developers built a world with a thetrical score that George RR Martin & George Lucas would have been proud of, even got inspiration from..
The way the Dragon evolved was the most rewarding thing I have ever seen in a game..
Then finally, there was ao much mystery built in.. it was like an early Elden Ring or BOTW.

Just as a side note I used to have a Japanese copy in flawless condition and had I kept it. Well it's worth thousands and thousands now.

What's the appeal of RPGs? What goes into ranking them?

Not being funny. Genuine question
