watch overly long melodramatic cutscene with bad voice acting
play the game instead
There are good jrpgs, but not very many of them.
Theyre mostly good actually and the voice acting usually isnt their fault and im mad you got 20 upbears talking shit on my genre in my thread. (Eta: that last part is tongue in cheek and this whole post is more hostile than i intended lol. Bad morning)

The narrative is the core engagement. Skipping it to get to more combat is backwards. In a good jrpg the combat is some degree of fun too but the reason youre there is the narrative.
Look the GOAT, Golden Sun 1&2 are JPGS and they came out merely.... Over 20 years ago
GOLDEN SUN GOLDEN SUN
So deeply embedded in my subconscious that there is no more distinction between its nostalgic value and its objective quality for me
The sheer amount of cutting edge animations they stored in a GBA cartridge.
The psynergy animations that are only available if you reclass to some obscure hybrid class 99% of people won't even try. Finding a hidden tablet that lets you summon a god or planet sized dragon to orbitally bombard your enemy
Just fucking chefs kiss
My little gba showing me those animations for Judgement the first time was amazing
There are like 10 Trails games so there are at least that many good JRPGs.
