I will tell my kids this was the most ambitious crossover in video game history

Thank you so much for having me be a part of your birthday bash!! This was just epic and I loved being a part of it! 🥰🥰🥰

Happy birthday!! 🎂 Thanks for inviting me to take part in this epic collab & I hope you have a wonderful day 🥰

What an EPIC collab! 🥳Thank you so much for having me and bringing us all together for such a fun video. Now I need to get that popcorn out and dive it 👀🍿

Happy birthday!!! Geuniely epic collab and a highlight of my RU-vid journey to be apart of something with so many colossal RU-vidrs like you!

RDR 2, Witcher 3, Skyrim, and Ghost of Tsushima for me are the 10/10 games. For someone who is super late to the party when it comes to JRPGs this is a much needed collab and list. Awesome to see all these different content creators and different taste. Great job everyone.

Happy Birthday Bubbles! It was such a pleasure to take part in this wonderful project! 💜 love to hear everyone so passionate about their RPG loves😍😍 I loved it🎉🎉🎉 you’re so loved girl!

Thank you so much for having me on this, so glad to be part of it and HAPPY BIRTHDAY for tomorrow!!! Hope you have the best day! ❤️

Final Fantasy VI. It starts off like a normal JRPG with a steampunk vibe, but quickly escalates into a world shattering twist halfway through. For me, it is the Goat because so many stereotypes copied the formula of what made it so great. It was truly the apex of 16 bit storytelling, and graphics and gameplay. And the characters and their stories were so good that it was the only game that I was sad that it was over with at the end.

I loved seeing all my fav You tubers in one video! What a great collab! Thanks for bringing this to us!

Happy birthday queen 👸🏽 and thanks for having me for this collab! It was fun to make ❤

What an incredible crossover!! So many games I need to add to my backlog and so many channels I need to follow! I haven’t gone back to replay it (I hope it holds up) but I LOVED custom robo on the GameCube! Also happy birthday! 🎂

Ircha Gaming 42:12 your welcome, plus Chrono Trigger one of my top 10 favorite games of all time!

This was an amazing video. So cozy and cool to see all the different content creators talking about their favourite video games. I think you really brought out the best out of everyone!

I can't say that congratulations phrase yet because here in Germany, it is considered to bring bad luck if you say it before the actual day. But I hope you're gonna have the most amazing celebration tomorrow! The video gave me all of the feels! So many incredible games, often the music is enough to bring back all of the memories. My personal favorite RPG (and game in general) is the original Seiken Densetsu III/Trials of Mana, followed very closely by the original Final Fantasy VII.

What a PHENOMENAL compilation of RPGs! So many titles here that I've fallen in love with before and others that I cannot wait to adore in the future. I appreciate how you grouped the games together, too, and included some unconventional titles on the list. May you have the happiest of birthdays, Bubble, and may the year ahead be the very best one yet for you and all you dream to do 💙

Ogre Battle : March of the Black Queen. 10/10 just for the title, at least 15/10 if you take the rest of the game into account 😂. Happy birthday miss B !!!

This is so cool. This sold me on 4 games I’ve been meaning to play that I now have have on order from Amazon lol All 3 Xenoblade chronicles, Dragon quest 5, Trails to azure, and FFIX. I love seeing so many of my favorite creators and also finding NEW creators. This is amazing. I love the gaming community so much, everyone is so cool and unique in their own ways. Sharing their passions for what they love is such a beautiful thing. This is one of the reasons I recently became a content creator myself 👾 keep up the great work guys, and happy gaming!! 🖤

Hey great stuff mate - the more I can talk about that game the better! Mark

Fantastic video Miss Bubbles! So many awesome folk on here :)

Bubblesssss happy birthdayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ❤️ Thank you for all the effort you put to give us such content that is worth our time! You have the most soothing energy, the most contagious smile, and most importantly, the most inspiring passion! To many more 🥰🥰

Glad someone put XC1 as their 10/10, good taste

Happy birthday! I love these kind of videos and watching all of you guys collab! I've yet to watch the video, but I hope to see JRPG Jungle participate some day if she isn't here.

Belated happy birthday! Thanks for this video ^^ My nostalgia RPG is Grandia, it's the first RPG I actually finished to the end. (Not the first I've ever played, that'd be ff8.)

Happy birthday, epic video for rpgs I've got a longer backlog now great stuff!

personally, final fantasy tactics is my favorite of all time up to this day. love the story, the gameplay, the replayability, the combinations you can do with the game, the characters, just everything is so brilliant. its absurd that game doesn't have a proper sequel. it is also the first rpg game i ever played after buying my ps1 and up to this day, nothing beats it. nothing is even close.

yay! just started watching happy birthday miss bubbles i love collaboration videos 😊 let’s go

This is super cool and I'm loving how many JRPG RU-vidrs are coming together with more collab videos. This is what like to see more with gaming community . It's a fun hobby that should be celebrated at times. I love everyones picks, I especially love seeing so much love for Xenoblade and even Disco Elysium. One big 10/10 for me would be Vagrant Story on the PS1. A game so ahead of its time with a complex story, gameplay and battle system. Another that I love that I'm surprised wasn't on this list was both Nier Replicant and Automata.

Happy birthday!! I love that all main series three Xenoblade games popped up xD Most of my 10/10s were mentioned in this video, so I'm gonna pull out an unorthodox one that isn't talked about enough: Brave Fencer Musashi! A fusion of RPG, platforming and Zelda-like adventure with some simulation aspects added in, the game has exciting action, a cool system that lets you steal abilities from enemies, and a cozy vibe as you free trapped citizens that fill up a central hub town. And to top it all off, the game has tons and tons of charm! A sassy protagonist, spoiled princess, and goofy villains bring it all together in a one-of-a-kind RPG adventure!

Awesome collab video! Great job putting it together.

Yay!!! Feliz cumpleaños, Bubbles!!! All the love from Buenos Aires!

Beeeeeeeeeeeg video here. Congrats on pulling this all together Bubs, and for having me on. I might need a couple days to watch it all though lol.

Very very very nice list! Played almost all of them. Most of them are in my top game list! :D Happy Birthday btw!

Happy Birthday Miss Bubbles! What a wonderful collab, thanks for inviting me to take part in it!

It's very cool that these jrpg content creators are collaborating together often in the youtube space. Don't think other communities are like that. A very wholesome thank you to everyone for your work. Really brings back beautiful memories ❤❤❤

I really enjoyed watching this awesome RPGs Happy Birthday Miss Bubbles cant wait to see more soon ❤❤❤

This was an amazing video. Also, Happy Birthday!!

Great list! Cool to see games that other ppl love (and why). But also Nier Auto

Happy belated birthday fellow Gemini! Hope it was great. I still have a lot of rpgs that I haven’t gotten around to playing, especially from this list, but my 10/10 would probably be Golden Sun.

I give this content a 24 out of 24 on the youtuber quality scale. Well done and happy birthday!

Happy birthday! Excellent list! So many fantastic games. I don't know if I can even narrow down a list for myself. Mother 3 will probably always be my number one. But I adore Trails, SMT, Final Fantasy, Xenoblade, Pokemon, Ys, Yakuza, Dark Souls, Zelda, Fire Emblem, and so many others

So many solid picks! this was a monster of a video, which is why i like the way you did this bubbz , made it easier to watch and digest. every pick on here deserves to be on the list. great video and happy birthday my friend! hope you have a relaxing and happy day you deserve it after this!

Hol' up! 24!? This is going to be an amazing video to watch on a sick day Edit: Omg this video was amazing with so many great entries. For me it would be really hard to choose so forgive me for adding a couple of honorable mentions at the end but they are all just so good! The one that I have decided to be my definitive 10/10 would have to be Rune Factory 3. I remember playing through this game so many times as a kid and even up to my highschool years and it was always a blast! I won't spoil too much since it is getting a special edition later this year but I do want to share some things about it that I LOVE! I grew up playing the Rune Factory series a lot growing up and this one especially holds many fond memories. From the wacky yet lovable characters, the story, music, and gameplay, to having the ability to turn into a monster and play the game however you want due to it being a farming sim/action rpg hybrid. Out of all of the Rune Factory games this is just the one that I feel combines all the best elements into one. Will cherish it forever. A lot of my honorable mentions hold a special place not just for gameplay or story but were there when I needed them most so prepare for a least one unexpected entry 🌺 Honorable mentions🌹 -Harvestella (this game is beautiful and captivating...love it so much ❤️) -Fire Emblem Engage (such a wonderful strategy game that lifts my spirits and despite some very sad moments is very uplifting and cute) -Fire Emblem Fates (Far from the most popular but it holds a special place in my heart and was there when I needed it) -Ni No Kuni (I was lucky enough to get the Switch release for my birthday when it came out and the story really helped me through losing my uncle) -Bravely Second End Layer ( any game that can encourage me to write a diary and exercise more due to its wonderful and inspiring characters deserves a mention)

Great list of games..Nice content..Just subscribed to your channel..and belated happy birthday btw Miss Bubbles :)

Awww I hope you had a great bday, Bubbles. No surprise you're a Gemini. Huge astrology fan here, it's how I came up with my username lol. It's funny if you were to ask my what I think the best RPG I've played compared to my fav game. My fav game (and RPG) has some flaws so I wouldn't give it a 10/10 (8/10 if I am honest), but I love the gameplay, story, and chars so much that I didn't mind the flaws so much. That game is Eternal Sonata. Now the game has 2 ports and each is different. I actually prefer the original version (X360) when it comes to gameplay and this version I would give 9/10, with its only major flaw in how it handled certain story elements, which I think would lead a regular gamer confused. The PS3 port would fix this problem, regardless, the game devs into deep philosophical matters with might affect peoples' enjoyment of the game, but I love deep stuff so I enjoyed it. However, I think PS3, even with the extra stuff (2 new playable characters, 2 new dungeons, and other small stuff), it made the gameplay flaws of the original version worse so I would give it a 7/10. One gaming pet peeve of mine are difficulty spikes and PS3 version made them worse and more frequent. In the original game I loved getting 100% (which you could only do if you played the Encore mode after playing the game once) and that would take me 60 hours. PS3's version, because of the major difficulty spikes I had to grind more and I had 100+ hours (the in game clock stopped once you got to 99:99:99). So yeah it was a pain, so I'd rather play the XBox 360 version because Gameplay will always be #1 factor. If this game ever got a Reboot, I say take Story of the PS3, with the extra chars (improve one of them though, he's worthless) and dungeons, but have the gameplay of the XBox 360 version, then it be 9/10 at least for me. I think one of the biggest standouts of this game though is the deep story and amazing Soundtrack. Game is called Eternal Sonata, so yeah music references abound. Game is based around the real life composer Chopin (he's actually the MC lol) so his music is integrated into the game and chapters are named after his famous works. Fav song is Astra of the Heart and it plays at one of the most heartbreaking moments in the game for me so it always makes me emotional. Fun fact, other than Chopin, all of the chars are named after musical terms lol. Now for 10/10 RPG, oohhh, that's really hard. 3 come to mind when I think of 10/10. First is one that gets mentioned early on- Skies of Arcadia. I am with Tony- SEGA! Where's this game! I've seen others like Panzer Dragoon get rereleased and Skies got a port on the Gamecube in the past, so what's the hold up? But best part about this game is the combat. What Tony forgot to mention was there are Ship Battles besides your typical turn-based battle system. You also at one point get your own ship and base so you can find your own crew. It's a very light-hearted game overall, but it does have its dark moments. I found myself enjoy the chars, even the villains. Game has the best humor out of the 10/10 games I can think of. One of the chars gets Airsick and it's hilarious. Only flaw I find in the game is this game has random encounters, but I never minded it as much. But yeah standouts are the exploration and ship battles. 2nd one is the one I would recommend for beginners to the realm of RPGs because of it's charming story and easy to pick up gameplay (that has layers to it). Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. It was a major reason why I decided to get the PS3, especially after hearing Studio Ghibli got directly involved. Chars are fun, the world is great to explore, and of course the story and cutscenes are fun. If you like Pokemon, you'll enjoy the gameplay because you collect familiars that can fight in your place. I also think this game is great for beginners because you can chose the difficulty level. 3rd one is the first JRPG I ever played and it's the one that basically made me a better person- Grandia 2. It has my fav battle system because you have the ability to cancel moves of your foes. This is critical in boss fights and sometimes you have to be careful. Story is amazing because nothing is what it seems. As I said before, this game turned me into a better person because it made me question things about life in general and I learned to be more perceptive because not everything is black and white. While the game has some very funny moments (like there's a point when the game trolls you in a funny fashion), it's one of the few games to make me cry too. Soundtrack is amazing and fun fact- the few songs with lyrics, they're sung in Portuguese apparently. Sound so pretty! So if I were to pick out of these three, I think for personal preferences I'd got with Grandia 2. FYI, it's my 2nd fav game. I just think the ending (and romance) of Eternal Sonata is better too.

Secret of Mana: “getting to the ice palace gives me chills.” 😂

Awesome list, i totally agree and almost played all of them. I'm very curious about Ircha's take with skyrim on handled. Need to try it that way! Maybe i'll get way more hooked.

I am shocked that with all of these creators, neither of my big two got mentioned. One of them was even the spiritual predecessor to someone else's picks. Those two being Suikoden II (which we're getting a remaster of on the Switch later this year) and Planescape: Torment. The former is far less influential in gaming than the latter, but just like Fire Emblem, examines both sides of a war, and the motives of all involved. The latter looks at the very nature of what it means to be a person, and the nature of reality itself. The core question of "what can change the nature of a man?" says it all.

Happy Birthday Stephanie. Wonderful video.

Happy Birthday! Cool concept for a video. New to the channel. Subbed.

Oh wow, hearing Kiseki Nut and Tarks Gauntlet made me giddy, great collab :D

Thank you for making octopath 2 10/10. I couldn’t agree more. I took a break from it so I can play Zelda for a few days then went right back to octopath lol

Happy Birthday Bubbles, My favorite RPGs are Persona 5 Royal, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Fire Emblem Echoes Shadows Of Valentia, Fire Emblem Awakening, The Legend Of Zelda Wind Waker and The Legend Of Zelda Twilight Princess

Great episode! Happy belated BD! 🥳

Happy late bday Miss Bubbles 😍😁 . Ugh 10 out of 10 rpg? I'm so old school... for me I'd say final fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger, and Super Mario Rpg: Legend of the Seven Stars. All for the SNES

I also loved Secret of Mana. It was the first RPG where I could play co-op with my brothers and friends. The game was also quite difficult in the beginning. The challenge did drop significantly after you beat the weird first Tiger boss though.

Happy Birthday! My 10/10 JRPGs will be DQV just like David, he got taste! Other RPGs will probably be either the BOTW-TOTK Zelda or Skyrim. The modding community on Skyrim really make the game the ultimate role playing game with new content constantly updated. You can always have a different adventure in modded skyrim

good job on the video and happy bday hope its a good one :)

No mention to Odin Sphere, thats criminal! D= Althought, good video. If english was my first language, I would have been happy to bring it.

Yes, TKN's "Miss Boobles" stole the show on what was the most ambitious collab video I've ever seen! Happy belated birthday! (Including some of the other creators here)

I'm with Zion. Final Fantasy IV was my gate of entrance to JRPG. It is my favourite game and it will stay that way. This game helped me in a very dark moment of my life. And I can't believe that those little pixel characters would turn out to be my best friends. Amazing story, amazing characters, amazing music, and an amazing ending that made me cry real tears. Love for FF, and all the fans arround the globe.

Now THIS is a collab. Squish! 😊

Happy birthday Bubbles!!

I’m surprised no one brought up a Dragon Quest game or one of the first two Lunar games. DQ is still super popular too. However, I’m still bummed the Lunar series ended with Dragon Song 🤦🏽‍♂️. Anyway, thank you for the video. It was very enjoyable seeing so many familiar RU-vidrs in one video. Looking forward to a part 2 soon! 😁

Very cool list, i will take note of it, thank you.

Ooh paper Mario on N64. I LOVE THIS GAME. Nice pick josh. I replayed it on switch but was a little worried because I heard one of the bosses might crash the game lol.

Incredible video with so many incredible games. And Happy Birthday! My favourite has to be the Witcher 3. I don't know a game that has ever captured my attention like it and every time I play it I question how it was even created. Sometimes things just fall into place and work - and that was one of those times.

David, Bubbles, Hallowed be thy game, DavidCast,Ircha+Emily!!!!!!!! Just a god tier video. Love you all🔥🔥🔥

Man this was an amazing collab. Gained a new sub since this the first video I’ve seen if yours!! Would totally love being apart of one of these one day when im a little bigger channel myself it’s awesome to see

I agree with Xenoblade 3. I beat it and now I’m playing 2. Such a great series!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISS BUBBLES!!

I agree with you. I bought a PS4 just to play The Witcher 3 and it’s easily my favorite game I’ve ever played. I beaten it twice, including both DLCs. And I’m itching to get back into it again!

Happy birthday! Witcher 3, Final Fantasy 9, 7, 6, 12, and tactics, Persona 5 Royale, Tales of Arise, Baldur’s Gate I & 2, and Fallout 2 & 3.

There has never been a game that captivated me as much as Skies of Arcadia. There needs to be a re-release somehow!

Such a hard choice! But, for me, it’s Lunar Silver Star Story Complete. It’s the game that got me into JRPGs and began a love affair that’s lasted through numerous titles and several that I started and never finished. But I go back and play Lunar on my iPhone every few years. Somehow I discover a new piece of dialogue every time even though I’ve memorized the story and the secrets. It’s simple story is what’s missing from todays games.

That was the fastest 46 minutes of my life. What an excellent video! Thank you all for making this a possibility.

Great collaboration and happy birthday 🎉😃

A huge collab and lovely to see all the different games from the different consoles and decades! And YES!! FF9 MADE THE LIST!!!

This was dope!!!

Wow slonko has such a relaxing vibe to them

Amazing video!!! New sub💪🏾

Happy birthday Miss Bubbles ❤

I love how ff tactics is first showed. Tactics is one of the best Also you should try legend of legaia

Happy Birthday to you

Skyrim is one of my favorite games of all time every play through I'm always wanting more and more of Skyrim. Like i could complete 20 hours of content and then feel like I wish I made a mage character or a Knight servant for a king. Like there are so many playstyles in this game and it encourages to try them all and find your way to play your playstyle. I just feel so grateful to have had the privilege to play that game it's really something else. I also want to give an honorable mention final fantasy 15

Morrowind, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 1/6/7, Dragon Quest 1/5/11, Ultima Underworld, Baldur's Gate 1/2, Persona 2/EP/3, Shin Megami Tensei 1/3/4, Xenogears, Valkyrie Profile, Skyrim, Demon's Souls PS3, Dark Souls, Diablo 2, Turtle World of Warcraft (I know it's an MMORPG but it's still a landmark online RPG of sorts), Secret of Mana.

I have to agree Final Fantasy tactics is a complete masterpiece and a 10/10 in my book🙌🏼 and also happy late bday!

I love all these collabs, and i hope they don't stop

Great variety of games. Definitely earned a sub.

great video Miss Bubbles! Chrono Trigger is my 1 10/10. FF6 is so close!

Thanks for having me again! And happy birthday, Gemini twin!

Happy birthday!! 💖🥳

Surprised Suikoden 1&2 are not on this list, as well as Valkyrie Profile Lenneth. Besides those, yeah love the list! W3 for life.

Mrs bubble this actually a goat lvl video i really appreciate it

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Miss Bubbles !! 💓💞💞 thank for making this video there are alot of games that i have yet tried ! i really want to get into the legend of heroes series , but seeing how many games out there and that i have to start from the oldest one is kinda intimidating🥲 also some people might not agree but to me harvestella and the atelier series are my 10/10 games

Is the Switch version of Disco Elysium good? I'm willing tô play it on portable

Happy birthday, though it's a little bit late. I love RPGs with great storytelling, so my 10/10 RPG is Xenogears, maybe 1000/10. I admit its gameplay has enormous flaws, and visually it feels old, yet I can't recommend it enough. The story is that good, plus it has great music. I love it.

happy birthday! 🥳

Happy Belated... My favorite was Star Ocean: The Second Story. Some of my favorites that werent mentioned were...Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean, Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete, and Jeanne d'Arc.
