An “JRPG” can mean different things to different people. For some people, a JRPG is just any role-playing game made by a Japanese company, like Dark Souls. For some people, a JRPG is a specific type of game that is based on games like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. These games have a lot of traditions, like strong story and character development, fantasy elements like magic, squad customization, and levelling systems.
For this list, a PlayStation buyer’s guide on JRPGs will be used as a guide to what qualifies as a JRPG, but some games not mentioned in the article will also be taken into account. Only Metacritic-reviewed games that were made for, or were remastered and released on, the PS4 are being looked at for the list. Suppose Metacritic has a review for Final Fantasy 9 on PS4 but not for the original Final Fantasy VII, so the latter won’t show up on the list.

Ys 9: Monstrum Nox (Score: 80)
There are a lot of good JRPGs for the PS4 that Ys fans can enjoy. Ys 9: Monstrum Nox is very similar to its predecessor, Lacrimosa of Dana, which was very good. This time, the setting is the city of Balduq, which is known for its prison. Adol, of course, ends up in prison.
