However I came back to it a few years later when 13-2 came around. I gave it another try a really enjoyed and then I went on to platinum trophy the trilogy. Lightning returns was my personal favourite. Slight criticism was the gameplay of the first two games seemed practically identical.

That led me to try LR . . . 1000+ hours later and I love it.

    I agree with pretty much your entire ranking, especially with S and A tiers, but imo Resonance of Fate and Natural Doctrine are not bad RPGs at all, they just have complex battle systems (somewhat similar, now that I think about it) with a long learning curve, but once you get a hang of them, they become really great and rewarding. Also, FFXIII and XIII-2 are not that bad either actually, they are definitely B tier imo, but Lightning Returns is pretty bad, yes.

    I find it very hard to believe you played all these games based on your comments. The jump from Rorona to Totori was huge, so much so that they remade Rorona to include all the QoL adjustments made in subsequent games.
    Guided Fate Paradox and Awakened Fate Ultimatum are like night and day in both gameplay and story, not the same at all. The former is also much higher quality.
    FF XIII trilogy are all very different from each other. It's rare anyone would put them all on the same ranking after playing through each, and you give off the impression of someone who maybe tried each for an hour or two.
    Also, where are the Yakuza games? If we're including action RPGs it makes no sense why they would be excluded.
    Decent video, just feels a bit disingenuous to some of the games on the list. I know having a video that claims to rank all the PS3 JRPGs looks better for UA-cam metrics, but this one feels dishonest compared to some of your other rankings.

    and FF13-2 that's the one I enjoyed the most from the trilogy, thought it was much better than the first one and last one, and I really liked Noel and Sarah 😄 so a B+ or A for FF13-2
    I agree with FF13
    and FF13-3 was still better than first one so C+ or B maybe....
    But yeah I understand everyone has different tastes 🙂

    Enjoyed the humor of the Disgea games even if I never finished them.
    Looked online for some of the endings of those Disgea games considering how long they can take to finish.
    Dragon's Crown is one of the best 2D Brawler games and one I really enjoyed considering I used to play Golden Axe at a friend's house back when I was a kid on their SEGA console.
    Didn't get to play a few other games on the list, mostly focused on Anime style games considering I only had limited amount of budget so there was always going to be games that went under my radar and some I regretted not picking up when I had the chance like DragonGuard for example.

    Trails of Cold Steel I only got the first game, never got the second one simply because games with long trilogies I really felt burnt out due to the experience with Final Fantasy XIII games and regretted not getting Cold Steel 2.
    Trinity Universe I enjoyed simply because of the characters but really felt that the developers should have improved the battle system because the same mistakes were made in the first Neptunia game.
    Valkyria Chronicles I loved it and was thankful to get it on the PS3 when I did before it got too hard to find.
    Overall the PS3 was a JRPG heaven for me since I was a Nintendo kid console generations before and was really desperate for some JRPGs to build up a good library of Fan Service games.

    Omg, how can you give FFXIII Lightning Returns a D?!?? When you didn’t even play it?! It’s been widely talked about, how basically it’s the best one of the three. Personally I loved the first two, just because it was beautiful and was a decent story. But the 3rd one really had all its mechanics fine-tuned to make it fast and fun. Definitely should’ve given it a go!

  • @alexc4820
    @alexc4820 3 роки тому +1

    Very good video !
    This kind of ranking is always tied to the feeling each player had with the game when trying it, so there are as many ranking as there are players.
    I would have a similar ranking but I would have ranked some games higher on the list (+1 rank for FF13 and cross edge, + 2 ranks for disgaea 3, disgaea D2, tales of zestiria, and for me agarest 2 is A tier and resonance of fate is S tier without hesitation. This game is really hard but when you understand the game’s mechanics it’s a real gem !) but it really depends on everyone feelings.
    Sometimes you begin a game with big expectations and you block on a difficulty, the gameplay or a feature that doesn’t match your taste and it often ruins your experience while a lot of people enjoy the game, sometimes it is the contrary (you enjoy the game while others don’t like it).
    In the end, PS3 had very good JRPG, not as much as the PS2 but great games that I really enjoyed !

      Imo from emulating the game, it's not bad. It's all just visuals, and the actual gameplay is hit or miss for some. Personally, I think the game is easy as all hell if you manage to spam magic spells. I don't consider it a bad game at all though.

      Time and Eternity is a game you really gotta be in a special mood for. It doesn't take itself too seriously so it can provide some laughs but it's still hard to get invested sometimes. It's kinda like a cheesy 90s anime, I get Thousand Arms vibes from it. I feel weird saying that it's "misunderstood" when at the end of the day, it's still nothing to write home about.

    Cross Edge was one of the first games I imported from America on the PS3.
    Really thankful I got to play it as it introduced the JRPG companies thanks to the characters.
    Was introduced to the Disgea series characters as well as from the early Ar Tonelico and Atelier characters that appeared in JRPGs from the PS2 era that I never played but was interested in supporting those series when they came to the PS3 later on after getting this game.
    Introduced me to companies like Gust, Nippon Ichi, Compile Heart and Idea Factory as those would be companies I would get to know further especially with Hyperdimension Neptunia franchise that was to be released just a few years after Cross Edge was made.
    Plus I got to know the DarkStalkers characters from CAPCOM and was fully invested into getting the fighting game on the PSP that I eventually did get not long after playing Cross Edge, though I really did had to hunt my local Game Retailers to see if they had any copies of that PSP fighting game.

    When was the last time you played X-2? I feel like as a middle schooler, I really hated it, but I recently played it around a year or so ago and I found that it aged a bit better than X did gameplay wise. The story is still lacking in parts, but it's still solid overall in my opinion and the good ending is a fine end to Yuna's tale. The true ending sort of ruins that character development, but it's so hard to get anyway and the canon that follows is definitely not the fanon LOL.

    So anything below B is below average. Good to know. And FF did indeed die after XII, although XV had so much potential, it showed how square clearly have insane issues with managing its employees and games. Still, one of the better soundtracks in the series. I feel bad for people waiting for XVI, even after the release of the demo. Even if it turns out good, I don't think it will carry on the spirit of the series.

    The Fate Paradox games on the PS3 reminded me allot of that PSP game that was the Unloosing Ranger Vs Dark Death Evilman.
    I was a little bit disappointed that the humor of the PSP game didn't made it into the Fate Paradox games as NIS was the developer or co-developer of those rouge like JRPGs.
    Good games but I preferred the PSP game Unloosing Ranger Vs Dark Death Evilman better due to its Kamen Rider/Super Sentai Nonsense sense of humor.
