Got my new retro handheld emulator. It's an Anbernic Arc-D. Just got 50 GB of roms loaded from my personal currated collection and I kind of think I wanna jump into some jrpgs I can play on the couch when I wanna decompress. Right now I'm looking at starting with GBA titles since I missed that whole era but I'm mainly looking for any suggestions up to PS1 era. I've played all the main ones like Chrono Trigger and FFVI but open to anything.
My current line up is looking like Mario RPG, Mother 2 And 3, and Golden Sun.
What are some other bangers I should definitely check out?
Also the Arc-D is dope as fuck. Stock firmware isn't even that bad.
E: thanks all for the suggestions! Gonna currate a list this morning and probably start with Golden Sun before diving into the rest. A lot of gems I recall missing out on when I was a kids too that I'm eager to jump into.
I love Zone of the Enders GBA, it is top tier like Golden Sun 1/2 for me. After that Dragon Quest 3 and Breath of Fire series took so much of my time growing up.
Just checked and I have Zone of the Enders so I added it to the list. Glad I'm not wanting to tackle all these this next year because this list is getting hella long. My IRL friend even suggested some Zelda games which I've always considered JRPG adjacent.
