If you remember the JRPGs back in PS1, you will definitely remember many epic games that existed at that time. RPG fans could enjoy games that were mostly story-focused at that time. In this article, Dunia Games wants to talk about the best PS1 JRPGs with the best storyline!

1. Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete

Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete was released for the Sega Saturn and PlayStation in 1995. The Eternal Blue is set 1000 years after the Silver Star Story with the theme of friendship, love, and adventure to save the world.

The interactions that occur in each character are quite emotional. Interestingly, even NPCs have their own interesting tales. This makes the world in Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete look more alive than most RPGs.

2. Kartia: The World of Fate

Kartia: The World of Fate is a tactical RPG game developed by Atlus. This JRPG with gameplay that resembles Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre is also one of the best storylines on PS1.

Players will be given the option to play one of the two characters. First is Toxa, a young warrior who is still a rookie, and also Lacryrma, a strong warrior who is also the daughter of a legendary hero. Their story is very interesting to follow.

3. Vandal Hearts II

Vandal Hearts II is a JRPG by Konami that focuses more on the story than most other tactical JRPGs. Although the world in this game presents fantasy magic and legendary weapons or something, this game has a pretty dark story and a lot of moral messages for players.

4. Valkyrie Profile

When Valkyrie Profile was released in 1998, it became one of the most interesting JRPGs at the time. Unlike the fictional stories that exist in several JRPGs such as Final Fantasy or Star Ocean, this game is adapted from Norse mythology.

The main character, Lenneth, a Valkyrie, is assigned by the king of Aesir, Odin, to collect the souls of warriors to fight against the demon Vanir in the holy war. Interestingly, there are 3 endings that players can obtain in this game depending on the path they take.

5. Lunar Silver Star Story Complete
