I think it might be a retro JRPG kind of new year - looking for suggestions. (hexbear.net)

Got my new retro handheld emulator. It's an Anbernic Arc-D. Just got 50 GB of roms loaded from my personal currated collection and I kind of think I wanna jump into some jrpgs I can play on the couch when I wanna decompress. Right now I'm looking at starting with GBA titles since I missed that whole era but I'm mainly looking for any suggestions up to PS1 era. I've played all the main ones like Chrono Trigger and FFVI but open to anything.

My current line up is looking like Mario RPG, Mother 2 And 3, and Golden Sun.

What are some other bangers I should definitely check out?

Also the Arc-D is dope as fuck. Stock firmware isn't even that bad.

E: thanks all for the suggestions! Gonna currate a list this morning and probably start with Golden Sun before diving into the rest. A lot of gems I recall missing out on when I was a kids too that I'm eager to jump into.

Me finding games I actually already have since I have like 5,000 roms lol...

That's the main problem with those handheld emulators lol. I get awful choice paralysis.

For real. And my personal currated collection is actually only closer to 3,000 games but like that doesn't really make much of a difference. I think my entire rom collection is something like 120 GB which doesn't seem like a lot until you consider how small SNES and Genesis games were.
