Does Pokemon cont? Cuz then all of them, especially Ruby/Sapphire where your dad is a gym leader.

If not, then Dragon Quest 7, where both your parents are well and accounted for.

Don't be silly. That turn-based RPG full of Japanese cultural tropes, developed by a Japanese game studio, totally isn't a JRPG because it doesn't have swords in it.

Mother 3

Heck, I think the number of games where the hero is an orphan and the platonic childhood friend is a goddess may not be that common. One of the two, sure, but both I can't think of any.
