What game is "that" game for you?
I know everyone has that one RPG they fell in love with that will always have a special place for them.
Maybe it was never popular. Maybe it was a love it or hate it and had mixed reviews. Maybe it was a product of nostalgia and the time of your life you played it.
For me it was Saga Frontier on the PSX.
A game where you pick one of multiple characters and play thru the same game world on each one completing a different quest and seeing things from a different angle.
People would say the story is sparse, for me it was enigmatic and mysterious. People would say the battle system was obtuse, too difficult, or required too much grinding. I loved the challenge and getting wiped by it as a younger version of myself who wasn't ready for that level of difficulty, slowly figuring it out just made it all the more epic.
What's your game?

Xenoblade 1
Love the combat system mechanics, love the moveset variety among party members, love the huge enviroments, love the side content in general, love the pacing on the main quest, love everything about it. It was my first JRPG and generally the most formative game for my taste in video games.
I think I have more posts mentioning the game on this site than posts that don't mention it lol. Granted part of that is the current lack of more specific/niche discussion topics (which will hopefully be solved as the site grows) as I do have alot of game interests outside of JRPGs.
