I finally have my main setup back, makes life so much easier! Anyway, here's this weeks video - part 2 of all the games I've played this quarter, have a good one!
Congrats on getting your PC setup back. I finally finished my first Switch RPG I bought on the eshop all those years ago. I have started Gleaner Hights and Ys 8. Ys 8 is fun. I have no idea how a bunch of the systems work but I am managing. I actually started the game like an hour ago. The music is great so far. I just really suck at the combat. Thank god easy mode exists. I like my Actiongames and RPGs. It would just be a whole lot nicer if I didn't suck so bad at these games.
It's awesome you really dove into Xenoblade - excellent and surprisingly underrated series. XB Definitive is probably the most beautiful game in terms of its scale and world design.
@@Naryoril Highly regarded by those who are well-versed w/ JRPGs and similar genres. Ask any casual gamer if they know what Xenoblade is and they'll likely just shrug their shoulders.
I've been trying to play Xenoblade, and while I love the beauty in the world and some of the characters are pretty interesting, the amount of walking and the length of each combat encounter is making playing it feel like a slog. Is there any way around that or does it get better about it at some point?
Sakura Wars is a surprisingly really comforting game. Love how much of a change of pace it is from the norm tbh. Fun cast and pretty catchy OST. Underrated game. The gameplay can be pretty hit or miss though (and I especially hate Koi-koi because of this game, but had to do it to get the platinum). That said, idk if I'd ever play through it again though. Nice to see you liked it though.
And older games are even better, especially first 3 games in series. Sadly only one (So Long My Love on PS2/Wii) is officialy translated, and first Sakura Wars on Sega Saturn have fan translation patch (also Sakura Wars 3 fan translation patch has been announced). The worst thing Sega did with newest Sakura Wars is being PS4 ekslusive like Fist of The North Star Lost Paradise, and release game in worst possible time with Persona 5 Royal and Final Fantasy VII Remake. Those kind of games (VN hybrids) dont sell well on PS4, but better on Switch / PC.
@@nr2676 Are any of them Action RPGs by any chance? I'd be interested then. Not really a big fan of Strategy ones myself (and I'm pretty sure most of them fall under that).
@@theultimategamer95 All of them are Visual Novel / SRPG hybrid. Sakura Wars 1-2 with Fire Emblem/Front Mission battle system (but much simpler). Sakura Wars 3-5 + PS2 Remake are prototype of Valkyria Chronicles (same devs). There is one spin-off / prequel game to Sakura Wars 5 So Long my Love with action battle system - Sakura Wars 5 Episode 0 on PS2 (only in Japan), but this game is considered worst in series. In Sakura Wars games gameplay is rather simple and only OK (no RPG elements, and difficulty is very easy), is not main focus. The main focus in those games was always Dating Sim, minigames, interactions with characters, and girls backstories. Main intention is playing game like interactive anime.
I'm glad to know you enjoyed XC2 the way it deserved to be, I personally find it hard to convince someone that this game is really worth their while if they've dropped it midway because of how the early game really doesn't do it justice. It's a similar case to Trails in the Sky FC imo where you either give it the time it needs to find out it's an absolute gem or give up before you find out what you've been missing on and what makes the game truly shine. As for the JRPGs I've personally ventured into this year, not a whole lot of games overall but definitely Kuro no Kiseki was one of them with the 3 week vacation time I took to play it and enjoyed it thoroughly. The only other JRPG I've really been hooked onto this year tho came out just around 2 weeks ago, Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak. Well that is if you can call it a JRPG, it's a Hunting Action game to be specific but hey, it is japanese. I've been a fan of the series for almost as long as I have been of Falcom games and this series hasn't let me down yet. Loving the cast of returning monsters for this one and I'm taking my time to enjoy the content at a slow pace so not to just rush to the endgame and return to the previous quests and slaughter everything in endgame gear.
Thanks again for the OPUS mention. After your first Video I bought all three games and have finished the first two. The third game is an incredible experience so far as well. So here is to further recommending unknown stuff in the future ;-)
For the less than savory JRPGs news, Rance 03 translation has been officially announced, and while IX is entering beta the Rance X has been estimated 51% completed, with the translation team hoping to be finished by the end of the year.
@@Touma_S Short answer, if you are a fan of Kiseki, JDK Falcom music, and don't mind the initial concept of Rance, very mich so yes. if you are put off by Rance as a character, stay away. long answer: as a point of reference, Kiseki remains my favorite JRPG series, I am halfway through the fan translation of hajimari and have played all games before it. Rance as a series is also very good at doing the two things Kiseki games do right(imo) that being the overarching and expanding world building, and kick ass soundtrack. the first few games can be a little rough to get into if you can't handle the slightly grindy nature and dated style of older jrpgs (5D in particualr is an incredibly rough play) but the 01 remake and 6 are honestly so much fun to play and interacting with the style of 6 has me very excited to see why 7(sengoku) is considered the best of the franchise.
Games I played for those months are ranked as so: 1. Xenogears 2. Famicom detective club: The girl who stands behind 3. Famicom detective club: The missing heir 4. Xenosaga ep 1 5. Xenosaga ep 2 6. Star ocean: second evolution 7. Final fantasy 1
I really liked the Famicom Detective club games. Bought them both on a whim. Was surprised by the quality of atmosphere & story being Famicom game remakes
Oh the Xenosaga series feels so underrated. Hopefully you play 3 cause that game is really fun. I've listened to one boss fight theme by itself while I've been cleaning my house on numerous occasions
I loved the Etrian Odyssey Untold games if only because they finally made those games easy enough for me to beat. Shame the third game never got that treatment.
@@AlastorShadow0 still waiting for Etrian Odyssey ever since that teaser trailer that said they weren't dead. Though Atlas Survey did place it 8th as games that players want a remake of
I didn't really expect to see etrian on this channel, pretty tragic about your save and I don't blame you for not beating it for that real shame you didn't get to the 5th stratum. Personally I like classic mode compared to story mode as you get more party freedom. My favorite eo memory was getting lost for like 2 days in eo 3 because I put a wall on my map that was my only point of progress, real big facepalm when I realized that.
As an Etrian Odyssey fan, I really like EO5 with the Titles system, Its basically is that your starting class is two playstyles that you can choose from and then the title you choose enables you to go deeper into a certain playstyle.
As of late I've been on a Trails binge and have enjoyed every minute of it. Re-experiencing/experiencing many new aspects of the games only furthers my eagerness for Kuro no Kiseki. The combat I feel has reached its peak in CS3, so I'm interested to see and feel how Kuro takes on the semi-action system.
I really think Xenoblade Chronicles is the best newer modern JRPG series. I played X, 2, 1, Torna in that order which is odd but it was still great. X felt like the weakest. I wonder if X is the same universe as 1/2/3 just really far in the future. I didn't know enough about the series when I played it to make connections
@@Naryoril Actually, XCX is set before XC1 and XC2. X is the “What If?” Game of the Xenoblade Chronicles series. SPOILERS FOR XC1 AND XC2: XCX is how the world plays out had Klaus not activated the Conduit. XC1 and 2 occur after Klaus activates the Conduit. My evidence to support that XCX is set before 1 and 2 is that Klaus activates the Conduit in the 21st Century (20XX) and XCX takes place during that same century (also remember, assuming Klaus did not reset the universe). XC1 and XC2 take place at the same time as each other, XC2 revealing that the year is 4058 in Alrest, which could mean 4058AD or 4058 years after Klaus reset the universe. This means XC1 and XC2 take place at least 2002 years after Klaus activates the Conduit as XCX takes place in 2056.
I think X is more fan theories than anything else, it was intended initially as a spiritual successor not part of the main universe, but Takahashi since then has hinted it might be. Then you bring in the fan theories too, it wouldn't surprise me if it does have some sort of significance.
There really isn't any. X is it's own thing, they just used the Xenoblade name because it uses the same basic systems and attempt increase sales with brand attachment(similar to mana and saga starting out using the final fantasy name, or Xenoblade itself). Hence why it's "x" rather than a number.
I have complete few JRPG game with in 3 months, first one is YS 4, I love everything about the game except the ending, the ending make no sense what so ever and Tale of Arise, I think this tale of is the best tales game i ever played so far. I also complete two non-JRPG, Tunic, great indie game, got it for my birthday on April and i say it is best present, and AI: The Somnium File, this is also i would recommend to pick up and play, the story and character is top notch, and loving the game mech.
Kuro has been top of my bucket list since I imported it for my birthday. But I didn’t finish CS4 yet or start Reverie (which I’m struggling to work out how to use the English patch), plus other games coming out and my final year of university. Now that it’s mostly over, I’m hoping to do all that once I get back home from my holiday in Barcelona.
You might as well wait until early Spring 2023 for Reverie. It only makes the most sense since you already have quite a bit on your plate as is. I would focus on CS4 since that isn't no short journey either.
Reverie's just round the corner in relative terms, but if you want to use the patch I hear that there is a program that integrates the current one on the game itself. There might be a Reddit post on it, but I can't remember where I saw it initially.
Geofront patch is for Zero and Azure (which is no longer available due to the official releases), Zerofield did the Reverie and Kuro overlay. They have an unlisted video on the site that will show you how to get it set up with either PS Remote Play or a capture card.
Finally breaking down and buying a Switch in May was a great decision for me. I'm just playing through the extra content in XC:DE right now and then I might have to pick up XC2. Hopefully I can find Torna for less than the cost of my firstborn after that. After playing Hajimari using the spreadsheet and enjoying it but feeling like I was missing a lot, I decided that I would wait for the rest of Trails to be localized. The Switch should make that wait a lot less painful.
Guess time to push through and finish Xeno DE and 2 since 3 is almost around the corner shouldn't take me more than a day to finish the final dungeons and see the ending.
I liked Rhapsody despite its flaws. Liked the humor and how it flipped the script having the heroine rescuing the kidnapped prince. It’s short and simple enough to kill a few hours or use as a palette cleanser between longer games.
Good to hear about your pc. And yeah at first xc2 combat was not clicking with me but once you truly understood it man it’s good. Though I have to say they have to work on their tutorials. Can’t say I enjoyed the story as much due to not liking the characters that much. But overall still a great game
Idk how y'all actual choose what games to play. My backlog is like 60+ games and deciding which ones to play while also adding more is driving me nuts.
I'm just getting into the Xenoblade entries, and literally just got Cold Steel 3, and 4. I bought the entire Xenoblade trilogy minus the DLC due to budget concerns lol.
Just wondering if you have an interest in playing the Utawarerumono series? There is gameplay but the focus is more on the visual novel parts and I think it has a really good story. Anyways nice vid.
@@TheKisekiNut Nice to know. If you ever do end up playing it, just want to see a video on how you feel and think about it. No rush though and thanks for the answer.
I'm currently playing through shin megami v trying to get the true ending but no big deal if I miss it. It's going to be an achievement if I can manage to actually beat the story before the 29th as my ability to actually sit and play games plummeted in the last few years. Plus house of ashes is just a easy pick up for me
So many 3ds jrpgs id like to emulate but can only run Citra for about 45 min to an hour before it completely locks my computer out of any function besides moving the cursor on the screen. anyone have any other ideas to either emulate or fix the Citra problem? Edit: I also just started Sakura Wars, completely blind. Can't tell if I'm gonna continue quite yet.
Nice list, though nothing in the list looks like anything I'll be interested in. I'm still waiting for my PS5 copy of Ys 8 later this year. I'm kinda interested in playing another action JRPG, one that doesn't use turn-based combat and random encounters and one that isn't a partial dating simulator. I've played a lot of the Ys series and already played Tales of Arise and Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Also the Nier series. I'm wondering what else would be good.
@@TheKisekiNut Maybe another Tales game would be good. My understanding is that you didn't care much for Vesparia, right? Would you recommend Berseria?
@@TheKisekiNut Just beat Berseria. It was good! I'd say the gameplay and combat mechanics in Tales of Arise are more refined, but the story and character development are better in Berseria. It's been a while since I've felt this post-game melancholy. Thanks for the recommendation!
Tried playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3D when it came out. I was a little stupid and didn't really know how to maoe progress. I've kind of pledged to myself that I'm not going to buy any more games for a while and instead work my way purely through titles I haven't finished. It's too many, honestly.
@@TheKisekiNut Oh no, I legitimately just didn't know how to do something. I picked it up a while back and made progress, but it's been years since I had actually been playing through it, so EVERYTHING was unfamiliar to me, and starting over is probably the right thing to do.
I'm trying so hard to get into Xenoblade Chronicles but my god the combat is just bad to me so far. Hope it picks up cause if not I'm dropping that game like a bad habit
Not worth forcing it. If the combat isn't doing it for you then I'd move on to something else, because to be honest it stays like that for pretty much the whole game.
I finally have my main setup back, makes life so much easier!
Anyway, here's this weeks video - part 2 of all the games I've played this quarter, have a good one!

What do you think about xenoblade's music especially 2 since I didn't hear you say anything about it
I like it - I personally prefer XC1 though.
Nice list, though nothing in the list looks like anything I'll be interested in. I'm still waiting for my PS5 copy of Ys 8 later this year.
I'm kinda interested in playing another action JRPG, one that doesn't use turn-based combat and random encounters and one that isn't a partial dating simulator. I've played a lot of the Ys series and already played Tales of Arise and Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Also the Nier series. I'm wondering what else would be good.
Maybe another Tales game like Berseria or Vesperia? Yakuza before LAD were action based, or the Mana series. Kingdom Hearts could work too.
@@TheKisekiNut Maybe another Tales game would be good. My understanding is that you didn't care much for Vesparia, right? Would you recommend Berseria?
Berseria was great. I finished Vesperia, but you're right - it didn't do much for me.
@@TheKisekiNut Playing Berseria. Great so far!
@@TheKisekiNut Just beat Berseria. It was good! I'd say the gameplay and combat mechanics in Tales of Arise are more refined, but the story and character development are better in Berseria. It's been a while since I've felt this post-game melancholy. Thanks for the recommendation!
wait a sec, you know japanese? or you have a program to translate the game? im talkking about kuro no kiseki

Tried playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3D when it came out. I was a little stupid and didn't really know how to maoe progress. I've kind of pledged to myself that I'm not going to buy any more games for a while and instead work my way purely through titles I haven't finished. It's too many, honestly.
I always say not to force it, if a game isn't catching you in any way just move on. Too many titles to get hung up on a few that aren't working.
@@TheKisekiNut Oh no, I legitimately just didn't know how to do something. I picked it up a while back and made progress, but it's been years since I had actually been playing through it, so EVERYTHING was unfamiliar to me, and starting over is probably the right thing to do.
Did you say "emulate" ?!! I'm sorry but I'm going to have to report you to the video game police.
Loved the video😉. Just wished to know how you got time to play so many gigantic games😅
Gotta work around a schedule that works for you! I've found something that I'm comfortable with and makes me quite productive as a result.
💪💪
I'm trying so hard to get into Xenoblade Chronicles but my god the combat is just bad to me so far. Hope it picks up cause if not I'm dropping that game like a bad habit
Not worth forcing it. If the combat isn't doing it for you then I'd move on to something else, because to be honest it stays like that for pretty much the whole game.
Kuro no Kiseki in 2025 is sad.
Kuro no Kiseki comes out in 292403 years, likes to the left.
