- I can't believe these JRPGs are good; they look either silly, dumb, lame or straight up mediocre. But when I played them, I got a very pleasant surprise.

Glad you liked Marl! Rhapsody 3 is N1's first game to introduce the lvl 9999 cap before La Pucelle and Disgaea. Maxing stats in Rhapsody 3 is as hardcore a grind as any Disgaea!
Sakuna has an anime now.
Guess which UA-camr isn’t going to watch it.
For me, I was surprised how enjoyable and well polished Stella Glow was. It was ridiculously cheap before e-shop closed as well. That game had good mechanics, a fun story, and the voice acting was good.
Lol, i played light crusader 25 years ago on my mega drive 😅
Hello, greetings from colombia, you're the best
fyi, KEMCO RPGs, I actually enjoy them quite abit. They may often reuse the same battle system with little changes and tend to use the same features, but they always have an exclusive gimmick of some form. You don't see people who play Pokemon say all their games are bad and use them reusing the battle system allot as a complaint. Despite the fact mainline Pokemon (excluding Legends Arceus, that is a completely different game in gameplay) has been using the same battle system since its start as a franchise (excluding Gen 1's bad programming), with generation exclusive gimmicks and facilities used to mix it up.
KEMCO has it's game exclusive gimmicks too. Overrogue for example, it isn't even the same exact battle system they've been using. That game has a battle system similar to other card based roguelikes, as that is that game's genre in addition to being story driven like an RPG. That is that game's gimmick. Being a roguelike cardgame. If you need a more proper example, how about "Marinian Tavern Story: Patty and the Hungry God"? That is a restaurant management sim and an RPG. The game's gimmick is that consuming foods is how you get stronger. You can't get all your stats by battle.
I don't like how you talked about near every KEMCO RPG out there, it was rather harsh of you infact. But, I'm not going to beg you to change your mind on not liking those games, I can only post a defense against your claims against every KEMCO RPG out there. I have not played them all, and have not bought any DLC for them. But I can say, I enjoy them quite abit. To the point that when I see a new KEMCO RPG, I am happy for that, instead of being disappointed they released another. This comment is from someone who quit Genshin Impact only because the story was so boring to sit through any further.
My first thought from the title was Okage Shadow King! Another one I was thinking about from PS1 is Shadow Madness. A pretty unassuming little game, but it has everything there.
Oh and (hear me out) FFX-2 is surprisingly good, despite the girl power theme. The dress spheres, fast paced combat and character growth are leagues ahead of FFX.
The Longest Five Minutes is imo a pretty fun game, but the RPG elements are really lacking. Way too easy. It's basically a visual novel. But not a bad one.
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin got an anime that starting airing 4 days ago on July 6th.
Okage was fuckin nuts back in the day.
Just wondering if you've ever thought about putting g chapters on your videos?
Keep up the good work.
Why can't I find an english version of Battle Princess of Arcadias anywhere? Not even on ebay.
That hapenned to me with *Destiny Connect Tick-Tock Travelers* . One day I found that game dirt cheap, so I picked it up just to experence it some off weekend. The game turned out to actualy be good, the story was suprisingly interesting, decent combat. In the end I finished and enjoyed the game for 20 hours.
Yeah, kemco games are either hit/miss or else you like the generic setups or hate them. there isnt much for an in between lol.
Also why tf does scars of mars looks like it was AI flipped.
Curious: are you playing Trails through Daybreak by chance?
There is something like Battle Princess of Arcadia / Odin Sphere on Switch?
I loved Light Crusader on Megadrive back in the day! The graphics looked so good! I liked the puzzles and the gameplay. Too bad the save feature didn't work on my copy. Maybe I needed to change the battery and didn't know about it, I can't remember the details, it was so long ago. So I had to replay it over and over again. One time, I had a glitch when I got lots of items in an inventory. But sadly, I had to turn the console off at some point and lost it.
I have the opposite situation with Sakuna. Bought it thinking I'd like it but I didn't.
It's nice to see appreciation for Rhapsody - it's such an easy game, you can just relax and enjoy the story, the humor, and the music. My PS1 copy with the soundtrack is one of my most prized games.
BattlenPrincess of Arcadias was a surprise for me... Maybe looks bland but is fun
Destiny of the emperor 👍
When I saw this title the first thing I thought of was Okage such a weird and goofy game but I love it.
Make a "X best jRPGs with catgirls" video, please! =3
Ah nice, on the stream yesterday you didn't say much about what the video would be about!
So... Scars of Mars does share some commonalities with Radiant Historia's battle system then, huh?
I enjoyed super bullet break a somewhat amusing game
I heard Mato Anomalies' writing is kind of confusing and the translation not great?
The game is a bit confusing if you don't read characters profiles and whatnot
Expected to see Arc Rise Fantasia here... sigh, no one remember this game already
digimon 1 2 3, where you play a role as a tamer of a monster that could evolve, worth to play
Destiny of an emperor goes up to 5 members.
I still regret not giving Okage a honest try when I bought it when it first came out, went to game stop the next week to resell it and buy extermination instead lol
I love kemco RPGs. 🎉
me too!
Three!
Their Visual Novels are great too, even better actually.
Finally top 😁
again thnaks for the good video erick ^^
Just based on your recommendation I’m about to buy cross tails
I have the demo for Scares of Mars on my Switch but not played it yet.
As for my own JRPGs that were surprisingly great, I'd always like to add Honkai Star Rail and the recently released Zenless Zone Zero.
Its unfortunate that some of these dont have hard copy releases. Battle Princess is something I hope we see a physical of at some point, even if somehow fit into a collection of games we never got one for. Destiny of an Emperor is great. It was great back then and it is still great now imo, Capcom had a different spin on the whole Three Kingdoms experience on NES. Stellar list of games, some which no one discusses, thanks Erick!
Eh, physical is dying, what's the point when digital is a much cheaper and much easier way to get games now
People need to wake up to the reality that all of their physical games will one day stop working altogether, ESPECIALLY those from very old consoles whose parts are no longer available to replace should the inevitable happen
@@martinde-serres8724 I'll tell you why. Because digital content being "much cheaper" as a general rule is not true. Some of the time it is. Also, digital content is worth absolutely nothing after purchase. Preservation is important and physical media does provide a version of that. Tangibility and having something to show for my money is important. Those "old consoles" you are referring are being kept alive by a long list of gaming repairmen and gaming fans out there and will be for a long time. You should wake up to the reality that digital content isnt always available because its digital.
@@MiamiSunrise ''Those "old consoles" you are referring are being kept alive by a long list of gaming repairmen and gaming fans out there''
No, that's not true cause again, those parts for making those old consoles are no longer available at all, stop saying bullshit claims without showing any proof ok
I have such gaming repairmen in my area and they DON'T have said parts to repair them and have told me multiple times it's impossible to do so.
Also, in dozens of years, your physical copies WILL stop working completely, which is why digital WILL be the future of the industry as it'll cut costs for physical
YOU clearly don't know shit about this whole industry to reply back with nothing but bullshit info, so do your research thoroughly, please
As someone who DO work in the industry, I know more than your ''UA-camr status'', so STFU now
@@MiamiSunrise ''Preservation is important and physical media does provide a version of that.''
Also, if that's true, then how come we RARELY see those old games being re-rereleased physically for modern consoles, then?
Most of those old games are LOST for eternity due to no one having the rights for them, hence why it's nearly impossible to preserve them or else we would've gotten MASSIVE retro collections on modern consoles
''Because digital content being "much cheaper" as a general rule is not true.''
Euh, yes it is. 90% of the time, a game goes cheaper on sale digitally compared to its physical counterpart, even multiple times in the same year
Hell, you won't see physical games on PC going on sale... oh wait, they stopped making physical for them because of Steam/GOG/other digital store out there
Also, not ALL games from the last few generations have EVER received physical copies cause of 3 reasons: 1. because the developers have no budget for that, 2. because the developers know most 3rd-party companies like Limited Run Games are scummy bastards overselling and overpromising them for years now, hence why they either self-publish them or straight up skip physical altogether or 3. because most of those games suck and aren't worth the trouble into making bank with physical media especially due to the fact that physical has declined for years now in favor of digital
So yeah, ya uncultured and incompetent dipshit, you have proven me once again that you're replying nothing but false claims
Physical or digital is pointless what matter is if you play good games or not
Many great RPGs throughout the decades I’ve seen all from 1980-Now
Imo it was 90s till late 2000s
@@Zero_Testerwhat I commented has nothing to do with you 😂 I’ve seen all from 1980-Now what does that have to do with anything you just wrote on a random strangers comment but yes the best times of RPGs are the SNES PS1 and PS2 times 1990s/2000s
@@Zero_Tester The sweet spot was from Final Fantasy 4 to Lost Odyssey. Before FF4 there wasn't much that still holds up, and after Lost Odyssey there's been some good stuff but nothing AAA aside from a few exceptions of dubious quality like Final Fantasy 13 and Persona 5 (not sure I'd even call Persona AAA and P5 in particular was kinda weak).
@@mjdf122 Relax cranky boomer
Rhapsody is a masterpiece, not a "suprisingly good game" how dare you.
Next bad rpg games with a great part to them.
Like tales of arise where it's a bad story and game but the bosses of the lord fights are actually very well made in this bad game.
Firstly ToA isn't a bad game and secondly the boss fights were ass.
I enjoyed Tales of Arise and I think the story is really good.
rip guess ill skim around and see if i cant fish a title name or 2.
