I recently bought a copy of Super Robo Taisen at a retro gaming show but hadn't played it. This is a good reason to do so, also the OG Saga is getting much more expensive and hard to find and I feel like I'm running out of time on that one being cheap enough to purchase. One of my favorite parts about this channel is visibility and I certainly have learned about a great deal more JRPGs than I had known before, in this video as well. Thanks Erick!
@@ErickLandonRPG Also! We got some of the Classic Crossover Super robot Wars games on STEAM now, only in certain regions but that can be dealt with, You should cover some of them, the levels of sprite animation in them is simply some of the very best around. And they are mega anime crossovers who pay respect to the story
I’ve been watching you for over 3 months now and I’m glad I subbed. I love your content bro. I’m telling you, keep putting the good content your putting on UA-cam and you are gonna make it BIG.
wooow didnt think anyone would mention this. I remember waiting so long for the game to come over for years. Then working designs did a collection. I still have not finished it! i dunno if i will ever get a chance honestly
Okage was a great game. I didn't expect much from it, but it's really fun and charming. Also Stan seems to be short for Satan, but the bland casualness of Stan just fits the humor of the game better.

And here i'm again 4:00 AM and consuming your videos as if my life was depending on it. I have so many friends interested on RPG's and good recomendations, the bad thing is that they have 0 idea of english, have you tought on subtitling your videos? You can spread your voice over new targets
Oh man I LOVE SUPER ROBOT WARS!!! i finished 3, ex, lord of elementals, j and original generations on the gba (soon the second one mwahahahahah) right now im playing alpha gaiden and front mission 3 (yeah mechas are my life) and someday i hope i play alpha 3 and the psp port of advance thanks to the fan translations!
I love super robot wars!!!

Great list, Erick! I completely agree about Okage! I never finished it because I screwed myself over by saving right before a boss fight that I wasn't prepared for and couldn't get past, but up until that I point I truly enjoyed that game. Definitely worth checking out for anyone who enjoys quirky RPGs, just make sure you have a town save and a dungeon save so you don't get yourself stuck like I did! >.
I always found your opinion on rpgs pretty consistent and similar to my own. But +1 for recognizing srt OG it's a favorite of mine on that system. Play OG 2 when you get a chance. Not to mention srt OG Moon Dwellers, tho its my least favorite.
WOW! Someone who played the guided fate paradox. Man this game was so fucking awesome! The story and the characters...brilliant!! As a big fan of Azure Dreams it hit my heart!
I played Gurumin on the PSP before. I didn't remember it as being an JRPG but it was quite some time ago so I don't quite remember. Can she pierce the heavens with her drill? Will she need to yell "Who the hell do you think I am?" Will she need to combine with her friends to defeat her enemies? I need to find out the next time I play.
Hey Erick, awesome channel my friend, thank you for so many memories and your thoughts! Just wondering why you hardly talk about the mana series or front mission? Have a nice day and saludos desde guatemala!
As you said hope the name changes draws more views and like's for you and the channel Erick. Wife and I loved the video we only knew of 1 of them the amazing hidden gem of that Arc the Lad game.
Great list! I love Okage Shadow King and Guided Fate Paradox! Got Arc the Lad Twilight of the Spirits back when I was in grade school, but never got into it, but definitely will try it again someday.
You should dig into MS Saga: A New Dawn sometime. Battle system and story are great! One of my favorites on the PS2. (Same goes for Mega Man X: Command Mission!) Also, I agree that the Arc the Lad PS2 games aren’t nearly as bad as people say. I enjoyed them a lot.
Erick Landon RPG I’m pretty freakin picky on what I consider top tier turn-based RPGS (I think they basically forgot how to make them in like 2005) but both of those are for sure on that level in my book. I get real bored with some games, especially if they don’t challenge me on the combat, but boy did both those deliver on that!! In spades. But not in an unfair way.
If you haven't covered Super Robot Taisen OG Saga Endless Frontier exceed(Monolith soft) or Nayuta no kiseki(Falcon) i invite you to do so, the first recently translated is good for Projectc X zone lovers i guess, and the second better if you like Ys (with a bit of Mario 3D) they are both remarkable, and Gurumin is good as well if you do not mind sinple stories.
the first super robot wars that i play is the advance one in gba. its really change my prefference about game. since i really like robot/ mecha like gundam and stuff.
It is, yep. The main angel character was also a DLC character in both Disgaea D2 and 5 iirc. I don't recall any Disgaea characters showing up in Guided Fate Paradox. You can just tell it uses the same engine though when playing it.
Super Robot Taisen/Super Robot Wars is one of my favorites franchises, finally coming in fully english translations to latests games, I still don't understand how OG1 and OG2 came to America translated by Atlus (too bad PS2 versions in SRWOGS and OG Gaiden didn't). Actually you can find some of these old games (like SRWJ for GBA, in example) with a full fan-translation (although I'M more used to play them in japanese, but I miss the story)
I bought Arc the Lad years ago, and it arrived on the same day my backwards compatible PS3 died... When I get my PS5 I can tell ya this will be one of the first games I boot up!
Okage was a really fun game, although its combat does get a bit tedious after a while. Still, the world, story, and characters are all pretty good. I always liked the various fake evil kings.
@@ErickLandonRPG Yea it really is, you're one of the few people that actually mentions these games, wish it had more exposure since they're actually in English now.
I LOVE that series. Been playing it since snes......never finished any besides the Alpha and Alpha Gaiden for psx, OG1 and 2 for gba, and Alpha 3 and Z for ps2. The Z games for ps3 are fucking tough....to get all the secrets
Hey man! This comment is totally off topic but I just wanted to let you know: I just came from watching your "Most overrated JRPGs" video and I thought it was GREAT. And trust me, I truly disagreed with you on a few games but I LOVED the video non-the-less. I love when people speak their opinion, their mind and open up discussion. I love my ideas being challenged and trust me, I was laughing my ass off when you mentioned some of my favorite JRPG's and games of all time (FF7, Persona 4). And I agreed and disagreed about KH (Kingdom Hearts 1, 2,3 I love, the other entries are okay to me and the story as a whole is sort of stupid but I love it). Anyway, its a real shame that some people couldn't handle your OPINIONS. There's so many other much more pressing issues in this world and its a shame that people can't handle criticism of their favorite games. In the end, just enjoy your game! You rock, have great videos and I always enjoy them!
If we all agreed on everything and knew the games and everything these videos would be kind of useless wouldn't they? It's all about sharing your opinion and respect what others have to say to the games they love!
Thanks, people. I really wish more gamers were open minded like you, but instead they give in to toxicity and hatred, taking everything I say quite personal. Glad I've managed to attract like-minded people to my channel.
Okage looks very Tim Burton-esque, what with the deformed proportions and big eyes, and the story (what you gave, at least) also seems right up Burton's alley. Consider me interested.
Ssssssi. SRT. Genial que conozcas esta saga. Los tengo casi todos, desde SRW Alpha de play 1 al SRX de la play 4. Los OG son geniales aunque no tenga mechas clasicos como Mazinger o Getter.
damn, it's either I got all the games you mention or every video I'm adding at least one title to my backlog/wishlist. Guided Fate it is! hehe see what I did there?
I just saw your "most overrated JRPG" list, and no surprisingly, you have to disable comment. I just want to tell you that I too find FFX, P4, Tales of Symphonia, Earthbound, and ESPECIALLY Fire Emblem Awakening overrated. I also dislike the entire Kingdom Heart series. Keep up with the good work, and never be afraid to tell us your true opinion!
So I changed the title of the video. Maybe it will get more attention that way. Wish me luck.
Hmm i guess you havent played soul nomad and the world eaters
@@yaelortiz1224 You guessed wrong.
Super robot wars V,X and T are amazing and beautifully animated games

Thanks, Miami. It took me years to play that Super Robo game on the GBA. Glad I finally did, cause it is pretty darn good.

Glad you like them.
That Budehuc Castle theme at the start ♥
You should start doing individual game reviews as well.
You're one of many, many people to request that, but I keep saying the same: I don't enjoy doing full reviews.

Did you ever get a chance to play Ar Nosurge? Kind of a prequel to the Ar Tonelico series, but it was one of the most unique and fun games ever.
You should dig into MS Saga: A New Dawn sometime. Battle system and story are great! One of my favorites on the PS2. (Same goes for Mega Man X: Command Mission!)

Nice to see I have something to look forward to in the Arc series. I just started the first one.

That 2nd to last song was dope
Finally managed to watch this.
Gurumi looks awesome!
I can only find the Japaneses version on the Emulator site (the retro conventions or stores do not sell that game around here).
the first super robot wars that i play is the advance one in gba. its really change my prefference about game. since i really like robot/ mecha like gundam and stuff.
I loved Arc the Lad:TotS. So I bought the next one that came out.
Have you ever played Sudeki?
Sudeki is a hidden gem too.
Trails in the sky victory theme as outro ftw
Super robot taisen. Nice game
Super Robot Taisen OG was great, and its sequel was even better, polishing a lot of details. I can't recommend it enough.
the guided fate paradox is a grinding game like disgaea but the story is fun; Arc the lad is a great game too :)
Guided Paradox is from Nippon Ichi? I think had recogniced a Prinny penguin in the vehicle. Any other crossover element?
It is, yep. The main angel character was also a DLC character in both Disgaea D2 and 5 iirc. I don't recall any Disgaea characters showing up in Guided Fate Paradox. You can just tell it uses the same engine though when playing it.

Love this channel!!
The two SRW Original Generation titles on GBA did get remade for PS2 back at 2007 with new gameplay features. ONLY! IN! JAPAN!
I bought Arc the Lad years ago, and it arrived on the same day my backwards compatible PS3 died...
When I get my PS5 I can tell ya this will be one of the first games I boot up!
8:51What OST is this?
Shadowrun for the Genesis?
That would be a western RPG, plus I've never played it.
@@ErickLandonRPG The game is different on SNES and Sega. They're both good but I like the Sega open world game a bit better.
Eric, can you make a list of great RPGs that have 4 or more party members?
Okage was a really fun game, although its combat does get a bit tedious after a while. Still, the world, story, and characters are all pretty good. I always liked the various fake evil kings.
Wow im gonna try those last two thanks!
I love the taisen games. I beat both it and the sequel. Great games
Looking forward to a day you do a video of the worst 10 RPG quests or side quests given to the player. 😂
I'm a simple man. I see SRW in the thumbnail, I stop everything else and watch that vídeo.
I think you should cover at least one episode of super robot wars as a series.
Honestly I think "Me and the Evil King" would have been a better title lol
A shame no one ever talks about Super Robot Wars.
Yeah, and ironic, considering it's huuuuuuuuge in Japan.
@@ErickLandonRPG Yea it really is, you're one of the few people that actually mentions these games, wish it had more exposure since they're actually in English now.
I LOVE that series. Been playing it since snes......never finished any besides the Alpha and Alpha Gaiden for psx, OG1 and 2 for gba, and Alpha 3 and Z for ps2. The Z games for ps3 are fucking tough....to get all the secrets
Arc 4 is such a gem, I can´t believe how they messed up the sequel.
Just like 2 days ago I bought Okage in English at Amazon. For like 10 bucks. It's super cheap.

Isn't that second game similar to Z.H.P? Also, I'd like to play the Shining psp rpg games, but they aren't translated yet :(
It is. Same people who made it, I think.
Okage looks very Tim Burton-esque, what with the deformed proportions and big eyes, and the story (what you gave, at least) also seems right up Burton's alley.
Consider me interested.
I have Guided Fate Paradox, it's legit.
And I thought Blue Dragon invented shadow attackers.

Make Okage a bit less colorful and it would be a Tim Burton game.
Shadow Madness is a true hidden gem for the PS1. An ugly, but amazing game.
Also Technomage: Return of Eternity.
Both are Western RPGs.
@@ErickLandonRPG Shadow Madness plays like a JRPG. It's a masterpiece.
