Ranking Every JRPG I've Played

Mostly trying to stay strictly with turn-based RPGS, but some will draw the line. Something like Xenoblade is allowed, Souls is not.
(I know a couple of these are not strictly Japanese RPGs! I still feel like they draw enough from the genre to be included.)

Glad to see Bug Fables so low! The worship of that game is absurd.
Not sure if I follow why Xenoblade applies, but love to see Like A Dragon and DQXI so high up
