A list wherein I recall all the JRPGs I've ever bothered to play to completion. I got curious. Surely I haven't wasted half my life playing these things, right? Of course not. Eep.
The list isn't in any particular order. Unless I alphabetized them at some point because there were getting to be too many. In which case, I imagine they're in alphabetical order.

Atmospheric Zelda-meets-Psychonauts game. It's also kind of dark and definitely unforgiving to those not of an action-y bent.
Bebedora is the most adorable eternal eldritch horror since a certain pink puffball inhaled his way across the cosmos.
Chemistry has never been so much fun. That sounds like an endorsement until you think about it a little. But serious, these games are good. Deceitful Wings is a badass boss tune too.
It's more of the first one, really. Only your girlfriend does all the alchemy for you back home in the kitchen. Where she should be? Don't know if I agree with those gender politics.
This actually made a card-based combat system fun, which wasn't something I expected to see in my lifetime. What was less fun was leaving your cards alone for too long and finding out all the health potions had aged into anthrax. That might be an embellishment, but I recall it being a running "oh fuck" theme when I was playing it.
Good enough 50-hour RPG. 500-hour if you want all the achievements. Achievements are hard for game designers to come up with, you know?
Solid if a little generic JRPG for PSP. At this point, though, you're kind of spoiled for choice for PSP JRPGs.
The original and best. Actually it's neither of those. But it's a pretty good game anyway, if you don't mind your JRPGs slightly grindy and tough.
I liked having to restart the game constantly with carried over stats before Dead Rising made it cool. Ryu's covered wars, you know.
I used up all my jokes for this game in that comic guide I made. It's a punishing action RPG with most of Recettear's art assets, if you want me to just write a normal description for once.
