This list is great. Golden Sun doesn't always get the dues it deserves. Although I would personally group GS and Lost Age together as one game. Nice to see one of those on a list regardless.
Demon Souls, Stardew Valley and Vampire the Masquerade are better games than FFVII? What planet is this?
No Tales game should ever be above any Persona game in any list that isn't "most mediocre JRPG"
Persona 3 shouldn't even be above Persona 5. I understand the disagreements P3 and P4 fans may have because those two games are appealing to different people for different reasons, but P5 is objectively a better game in every way than P3, mostly due to the fact that they are more directly comparable.
Now I'm almost certain The Witcher 3 will be #1 though.
Stardew Valley? That's not an RPG, it's a farming/rural life simulator. Also, I love Persona 5, but it hasn't even been out a month, putting it on this list is way too premature. Sloppy list in some spots so far.
Tonally, and in terms of character personality and dynamics, the fact that they are both big city games rather then the quiet seclusion of Inaba, the larger scale of the initial threat. P5 feels a lot more like P3 than P4.

I dont know what everyones fascination with skies of arcadia is. It has such weak level progression and the element customization is so pointless. Gameplay when youre level 50 is pretty much the same as when you were level 15.
You're throwing out these broad thematic descriptions, but in execution, P5 is a natural evolution from P3, minus some of the edgy angst and adding some emotional nuance and sincerity.
I haven't had a major problem with the list outside of EverQuest (should be in the top 20 for being a pioneer at the very least).
If the golden trinity of Earthbound, FF6, and Chrono Trigger aren't in the top 10 I'm gonna lose it though. Also are they counting Zelda games as RPGs?

Can you explain some of it? Like it's a natural evolution from 3 like how 4 is, but none of the themes seem remotely the same? I throw out broad thematic descriptions because they are the main differences of the 3 games.
Like additionally, to add to my point, how the cast comes together in 5 is more like 4. In both games you're the genesis of the group's formation, and recruit people who were victims into your group, but in 3 you're an outsider joining an already existing group with their own prior history.
4 and 5 both treat the shadow world as the manifestation of a specific individual, in 3 is more abstract and general. You can say mementos is like Tartarus but it's not the main focus
for most of the game
In 4 and 5 destroying the shadow world is meant to change people, in 3 not really?
In 4 and 5 your group mostly got their character story in social links, in 3 is part of the overall narrative.
4 and 5 have really dumb "I'm totally psycho after all sick twist" villains.
