One of the better JRPGs ever done.
Follow up Lunar 1+2 with Suikoden 1+2, then Golden Sun 1+2.
(Optional) Phantasy Star 1-4.
After that, you really don't need to play any other JRPG.
Chrono Trigger?
And Earthbound.
And mother 3. Dear God, mother 3.
Excuse ME?
Username checks out
But really, how could you forget Lufia 1&2?
Breath of Fire 3 is also an excellent, timeless JRPG
Lunar is up there with FF 4 and 6 and Chrono. Likely best 4 retro rpgs that exist.
As usual, Star Ocean: Second Story gets overlooked (they did do a great job with the remake though).
You're also leaving out the entire SMT/Persona series, but I guess it's not everyone's cup of tea.
Persona is a sore subject for me because they ruined the original North American localization.
"So when you finish a random encounter, you can gain experience, or harvest souls!"
"Polling says Americans don't like random encounters."
"Oh, that's easy to fix, reduce random encounters 50%"
Which made it so you either couldn't get enough experience or harvest enough souls. :(
They also removed the Snow Queen quest for some reason:

Tales of phantasia is a must play as well.
