    Thanks for this Jordan, it is nice to have a list like this that's more tailored to my tastes!
    I've got about a third of these physically, some of which I haven't even played yet.
    Given what has been coming up regarding the longevity of 3DS (and Switch) carts and also 3DS systems, I think I just need to buckle down and knock those out, doubly so given my investment in DLC for the games I already have.
    Notable titles in that list: Ever Oasis, FE: Shadows of Valentia, Project X Zone 1&2, and Persona Q2.
    Persona Q2 is probably the one I'm most hyped for, even though I haven't actually played P5 yet. I loved the first Q game, and from what I hear it improves on the original in almost every way.
    Unfortunately I think I am SOL as far as getting the endgame story DLC for DQ7, that game is just SO LOOONG.😢 Fun game though, definitely grabbing DQ8 digitally.
    I had the same experience with FE Fates, dropped Conquest about 15 hours in, but damn do I regret not just dropping an extra $50 or so for that SE.
    My top 5 from what I have played:
    SMT Overclocked
    Bravely Second
    SMT IV: Apocalypse
    FE: Awakening
    Radiant Historia: PC
    (Yes I cheated a little, you do need to play Bravely Default and SMT IV before the ones on the list to get maximum enjoyment 😂).

    Etrian Odyssey Untold 2 was my first EO game and I think the Untold games are ideal entry points into the series. I think if I had started with a mainline EO, the lack of story would leave me unmotivated to learn the mechanics and nuances of the style of game and I doubt I would get very far before shelving it. The story in Untold 2 had me interested enough to keep going and realize how fun the game can be. It also has the option to play the game the classic way with player-made characters and less story as well, so you can get the best of both worlds for the price of one game.

      I started with the 4th game. I believe that was the game that started the systems that were seen in the the remakes that were released after it. It had a decent enough story to make me want to finish it. Only thing is the endgame content is a little lacking but what’s there is challenging enough and a good end to the game

      That was the arguably the best in the series! Finished both EOU1 and 2 both story mode and classic (no story) modes, they were just so good but the café system in 2 just made it the GOAT of the series. I tried playing them first on ds but could never get into it. I thought I just wasn't into first person dungeon crawlers (it's my first ever game in the genre). It was years after that before I tried to give it another go but on the 3ds this time and surprisingly, I got hooked! I tried IV, but it was so friggin' slow and clunky compared to EOU1 & 2 that I could never play it for more than 10 hours no matter how much I tried to get back into it. V and Nexus are pretty good too!

    • @VideoGuy232
      @VideoGuy232 Рік тому

      Can’t understand the love for SoV. Its a fully stripped down Fire Emblem game. Removal of the weapon triangle, split classes, offers fewer class options in general, no pair up or stance mechanics. The levels themselves are slow, empty and utterly lacking in original mechanics. The gameplay additions are superficial, gimicky or sleazy (regarding the micro transactions). The 3D dungeons are shallow, mostly rewarding exploration with endless food items, their main feature being quick, watered down (and much less strategic) battles. Same for the point and click sections, which feel like an afterthought. The story is forgettable too, with its two main characters barely interacting with each other until the finale. Contrast with Sacred Stones’ much better handling of split paths.
      It’s a terrible game honestly, and I think its appeal is purely due to its strong aesthetic and voice acting. Which is not a good reason to sing it’s praises.

    • @andrewjohnson7703
      @andrewjohnson7703 Рік тому +1

      @@VideoGuy232We’ve got to look at the source material to understand what kind of game this was meant to be. A love letter to classic fire emblem. Literally a remake of the 2nd game. A game where you’ve got split paths, limited units with access to usually one type of weapon anyway. Making them locked to their weapon. (Which I prefer but I understand wanting more customization.) From a story perspective it makes much more sense why I can’t continually re-class. Most new mechanics wouldn’t mesh well in an older game which is why they were left out.
      This game wasn’t designed around a weapon triangle, it wasn’t designed around a cheap mechanic like pair up, and it wasn’t designed with the best stages either. (Especially Celica’s route.) I do think the strengths are still present that it stands as a stark contrast to newer FE games. I actually feel like each character has life, a reason for being on the battlefield, and some form of uniqueness, their respective stats/classes match that. You have a ragtag group that is the resistance, and you have a very compelling story. The fact that Alm and Celica have rare meetings makes it that much better when they do interact. They also have different goals which makes sense that they wouldn’t interact much.
      While I agree that the point and click section isn’t my favorite it adds flavor text, world building, and detail that you just wouldn’t have otherwise. Exploring a little town like engage or 3H may have mitigated the issue, but I find walking around an empty space with a few npcs is less enjoyable honestly. The pro for these sections is how quickly you can navigate them and get back to the story which has wonderful pacing. The story does carry a lot of the weight, I won’t argue. The art direction and voice acting are also wonderful. (As you’ve said.)
      All this to say, OG Fire Emblem may not be your cup of tea. That’s alright. However to say it’s a terrible game is unfair and honestly just not true. Even if it were actually bad - let other people enjoy things they like :)

      @@andrewjohnson7703 That’s a lot of text without saying much. Most of your points being “I like that they removed features,” and “it makes perfect narrative sense that they removed features.” The rest has nothing to do with this particular game and applies to the rest of the series for the most part. They’re all about rag tag groups, the split paths have been done before on multiple occasions, the world building has always been good in these games without the gimmicks. Every game is a “love letter,” a meaningless statement, mind you. Dungeon crawling and point and click sections don’t add anything of value to the game, because we come here to play a good SRPG, not a mediocre SRPG attached to a bad action adventure game.
      So fine, you enjoy that they simplified the games (something no one asked for and won’t be seen again), but you must understand that removing elements from a franchise is not as impressive as adding to it, and it’s certainly not innovation. If the older games were still up to snuff, they would either use them as templates for the modern games, re release them, or people would just go and play the originals. But they don’t, because they are antiquated. The weapon triangle is the defining feature of modern FE games, and is what gives them their tactical depth and allows them to stand above their contemporaries, elements that are sorely missed in SoV. Instead, SoV is content to inflate its difficulty with imbalanced archer classes picking at you from choke points, or forcing you to move a couple squares at a time across vast maps while contending with endlessly respawning/teleporting enemies. It’s just bad game design. I’m sure it was considered innovative when it first released over 25 years ago. But we’ve since developed well past that.
      When you have games that see Intelligent Systems working tirelessly to push what the genre can provide, and crafting detailed levels and mechanics, going and playing something like SoV is frankly embarrassing. Shadow Dragon, the other handheld remake, actually bothered to improve on the original gameplay and make it accessible for a modern audience. Enemy spawns were adjusted, the triangle was implemented. Yet it gets a massive amount of hate, even though there was more effort behind it than something like SoV.
      Fire emblem SoV is among the lowest rated games in the franchise from a critical standpoint. It also sold less than a third as well as its two predecessors on the system. Yet a very vocal minority hypes it up (while denouncing the other 3DS entries), and it’s simply false advertising. There’s no reason to play SoV when you can play FE Awakening or Fates. They’re much better games. And honestly? Any other modern FE game would do

I didn’t make it too far my first playthrough so I figured I’d give it another go. And as expected, it was a disappointing experience. So offering my opinion is cathartic in that sense. And could also save someone the time of buying it. I’m not forbidding anyone from enjoying anything. I don’t think that’s even possible. I’m giving my opinion like the OP gave theirs and you gave yours. Just because it’s negative doesn’t mean it isn’t worth sharing. Sorry if you don’t like it, you don’t have to read it.
      As a side note, I’d argue that a negative opinion with reasoning is worth significantly more than a positive one without it. And there are absolutely tons of the latter.

    How are some of these "JRPGs"? Mystery dungeon games are very Western, since they're rogue-lites. Just because a Japanese studio makes a game doesn't automatically make it a "JRPG".
