So many great RPGs released for the Game Boy Advance, so narrowing it down to 10 must have RPGs was a bit tough. Here are the top ten greatest GBA Role Playing games that should be in your collection!

 

[Fermbiz]

Thank you for sharing!! I havent heard of most of those rpg's. Definitely want to try them now!!

 

[Max_Po]

Wanted to drive-by post Golden Sun, but then inexplicably watched the video and saw it was given the top spot over FFVI.

I should really trust my instincts.

EDIT: Btw, could not disagree more about KH:COM. Save yourself the time and watch a video on YT instead.

 

[PhaseJump]

Golden Sun fans all need to get a Sega Saturn. Shining the Holy Ark is waiting for you.

 

[DGrayson]

The anime art style of this era is just amazing, nothing like like the weeb stuff that gets put out now.

 

[TLZ]

Isn't that all of them?

 

[Punished Miku]

Can anyone type up the list? I can't watch it at work.

GBA was a gold mine. It was basically a SNES 2 where we get a second golden age of pixel art games.

I still have all my games, but I don't have any easy way to play them. I think I have a Gamecube adapter. I need to see if I can buy a used GBA SP sometime.

There's also lots of great GBA games on Wii U eshop.

Nice list, but for those wondering not the list from teh video.

I completely forgot there was a KH game on GBA.

Agree with Golden Sun at number one, really fond memories of playing that one in the back seat on long drives.

Man I love Golden Sun and agree it should be number one but KH:COM wasn't that bad.
I feel like its a really high quality GBA title with great spritework and an interesting combat system.
I recently have been playing through the game again at HP lvl1 and it holds up nicely...I'm stuck on the last boss though that shit is hard with so little health.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Lunar Legend, Sword of Mana, and Chain of Memories?

But on the other hand...it's KH.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

phantasy star collection and shining force :resurrection of dark dragon

 

[infinitys_7th]

No FFTA?

 

[Quasicat]

Love Golden Sun and it’s sequel. Sword of Mana was really good and reminds me of the Fzero games: something different, yet very similar to their SNES counterparts.

 

[Whitecrow]

I honestly never get tired of playing Golden Sun 2.
Is such a master piece.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Golden Sun is by far the best one. Normally I don't play jRPG's, but I enjoyed this one even though I played it on an emulator (never owned the actual console).

You are in for a treat.

 

[Spukc]

You are in for a treat.

that fucking password screen tho

 

[Goro Majima]

No FFTA?

Yeah that felt like the most popular JRPG on the system at the time so it feels like a weird omission

 

[Whitecrow]

that fucking password screen tho

Ahahaha be strong mate, some patience, you will get it done : )
