@@huh5950 newest Xbox I have is a 360 so no. I got tales of arise awhile back on PS4 when it was on sale and I got Scarlet Nexus on PS4 when GameStop was doing their sale a month or so ago. Don't know what bundle you're referring to
Nier Automata is the single greatest game I have ever played. Phenomenal game. Glad its at your top spot. Nier replicant would be a close second for me. Also agree with another comment. Kingdom Hearts 1 2 or 3 are great Action RPGs. Great Video
I find automata to be unequivocally the greatest game ever made. I call it the crown jewel of gaming for what it accomplishes. It's changed my life (certainly made me a lot poorer, I spent over 20k on merchandise so far, going to a concert this January, hyped!). I grew up playing video games since I was 3. Started on the ps2. Games became the only thing I did for fun, with some occasional drawing. It wasn't until playing automata that I realized I LOVE the game I'm playing. I've never loved any games before. I mean genuine love. Not "I'm really enjoying this" no no no, more like "I adore everything about this, it's now a part of me". I've enjoyed games before, but this game put into perspective how amazing games can be, and how they can transcend their medium to not just be good games but be what some would call works of art. Easiest recommendation for a game I'd ever give anybody.
I just picked up tales of arise and Scarlett Nexus for 5 bucks each and they both offer a free upgrade to the PlayStation 5 version loving it so far 👍🏾👍🏾
I've been working on 100%ing Trials of mana since 6 days ago. I recommend the game for sure, it's great. I think I'll have my 100% in like 5~8 hours more playtime.
I feel like this list is missing Kingdom Hearts 2 and Kingdom Hearts 3; however, stellar list otherwise. Ultimately, I enjoyed this video very much. New sub! 🔥👏🏽
The most unique action game I’ve ever played (and I go out of my way to play every action rpg that is available) it’s such a fun time, looks amazing, and is actually fun to play
I think this is a great list. I honestly do not have to add very much to this. Personally I also like the Atelier Ryza games. While they are admittedly, not 100% action based, the turn-based aspect is severely turned down. You are right about Ys IX and Ys VIII. While I like the latter the moset, it's undeniable that the added vertical aspect of Ys IX makes it a better game combat wise. Another game that has comparable action with Ys, is Tokyo Xanadu eX+. It has the same drawback as Ys with repetitive battles, but is nevertheless a fun game. There are more action based games I like, but they are very niche and not something everybody will appreciate (like for example Dusk Diver and Dusk Diver 2).
Clearly Nier Automata is the best Nier. But since there were 2 Final Fantasies, and other comments covered the worthiness of Ys VIII, I'd like to add that I think Nier Replicant 1.22... deserves a shout out as well. Once you fully realize the implications of the repercussions of your actions in that game, it mind-f***'s you more than Automata. And the combat was revamped (over original Nier) to be extremely similar to Automata.
I think replicant is much less of a mindfuck with it's plot twist than automata is with its route C plot twist. I was like "alright then" when the plot twist happened in replicant. But in automata when route C started and I saw that it was entirely new story, and seeing the BEGINNING of this new part of the story up until the tower rises.....most awestruck moment of my life. I was just in complete disbelief at what I was playing. Then the title card shows itself for the 2nd time and I just got insane chills up my body. It's less of a plot twist in terms of information like replicants was, but it was a plot twist in the sense that I wasn't expecting there to be entirely unseen and new plot and content that late into the game. The entire rest of route C is 1 big existential dread driven mindfuck. To me there's nothing more captivating in gaming than playing automata for the first time and experiencing route C for the first time.
@@trevorveillette8415 SPOILERS FOR REPLICANT (& AUTOMATA) SPOILERS FOR REPLICANT (& AUTOMATA) SPOILERS FOR REPLICANT (& AUTOMATA) SPOILERS FOR REPLICANT (& AUTOMATA) You do realize the entire reason that humanity is extinct in Automata is because of your quest in Replicant. The Shadowlord is the original soul and has rightful claim to your body, as does his sister to your sister. He was on the same quest as you, to save his sister, and you killed him for it. But he was the key to keeping the souls of humanity sane while separated from their replicants, and the grimoires were the key to reuniting all souls to their bodies. You killed them too. Popola and Devola didn't betray you, you betrayed all of humanity while they were the project's guardians. You are also the reason that Popola and Devola model androids are pariahs in Automata's time period, because you caused them to fail their task to humanity. You are the villain in Nier Replicant, and the entire reason there is even a game Nier Automata at all. Serious mindf**kery...
GJ man, you pretty much got ALL my favorite games. With only Strikers and Code Vein that I'm less a fan of. In my book I probably put YS 8 in either since you put 2 games in the same series anyway (FF16 and 7), and probably also Berseria since that is what I consider the best in combat for the tales series. Nier Automata is definitely number 1
Went through Scarlet Nexus and Arise real quick back in 2021. Both of them use Namco's approach of taking ideas people think are simple, offhand, and exploring what makes them complicated. Scarlet Nexus shows that there's a lot more to human connections than just a warm fuzzy feeling, and Tales of Arise demonstrates that the idea of freedom is much more intellectually complex than people tend to to think it is. Ys has been in my desk for ages, so I'm looking forward to getting around to it. :) Oddly though, I have played Astral Chain and couldn't get into it, not for any reasons relating to gameplay or story... which you would think would be all there is to it, but it was the bizarre organization of the objectives, along with a few other inhospitable quirks, that wound up driving me away. It's kind of like a mix of normal rpgs littered with minor and major objectives, crammed into a 15 minute Devil May Cry stage, I suppose, and the save system doesn't seem to allow for stopping mid-mission... not exactly anyway. You can stop, but you'll lose some story progress and also seemingly lose all side event progress, even including things you did before saving. Seems to just be in the nature or Platinum games to be weird like that, and while I doubt it's an issue for plenty of people, I think it's probably a sign I should stay away from their games, even if I wish otherwise. :/ One game I'd have tossed on my own list of similar games is Star Ocean 6. It's similar to a Tales game, but with more manual control on things like character actions and builds. The split in the story isn't as developed as Scarlet Nexus, though you do get a different party member on either route, and it has great main characters and a neat jetpack feature that plays into the traversal and the combat. :)
I can't agree more with the first three, finish both routes of scarlet nexus and enjoy it a lot, tales of arise is great, and monstrum nox has more fun battle and exploration than YS VIII. The rest are kind of games that I want to play as well (not yet) except the number one, Nier Automata is absolute masterpiece, so glad that I 100% it, one of the best gaming experience. Oh wait, I've played code vein as well, it's great combination of action anime and a little bit soulslike (not too hard, which is perfect for me). Great list!!
Interesting that you included Code Vein on a list of JRPGs... I started playing it as a souls-like since I love the souls-games and some of the souls-likes that have come out, but I just didn´t click with Code Vein and couldn´t get into it. I´m thinking about giving it another shot but not thinking about it as a soulslike but as a JRPG with souls elements, and I actually believe I will appreciate it more that way. 🙂
I couldn't agree more with Nier: Automata being in the number 1 spot. That is one of the few games that I wish I could experience for the first time again
I am glad when I pre ordered scarlet nexus from bandi Namco I did separate orders because the steelbook pre order bonus is going for 250 dollars for a steelbook
Scarlet Nexus was Great! My only complain is that there should be a Hot Spring/Beach Episode as when you reach team bond level 6! Tales of Arise have a hot spring scene, Scarlet Nexus should also have one!
I thought Tales of Arise was a weak game when compared to older Tales games. I've never understood why people like it so much. Yeah, they finally upgraded their engine, but other than that, it was not that good.
I'd throw some respect at the Kingdom Hearts franchise. Mostly 1 and 2 because the story made sense then. Combat wise they all mostly carry their weight at some level except for Chain of Memories probably.
Agree with most of these but personally could hardly bring myself to finish scarlet nexus and dropped p5s halfway thru. My list would swap for something like rogue galaxy, star ocean 2 or 3, kingdom hearts, yakuza 0 (if that counts, bit of a stretch lol)
I've played all of these games before and I really enjoy almost all of them except for trial of mana and code vein. I feel like trial of mana is not the worst but it's not really the best either so i can't really enjoy it as much as the other games. As for code vein i kinda rage quit the game have a difficult time defeat the boss, hate their level up system and limited healing item, and worst of all is there stamina that keep reduce in whatever you do. If all souls like game is similar to code vein then i guess they're not my type of game.
I agree with you. It’s true that 8’s overall experience is far better, but I think the combat and action elements of the game were taken up a notch in 9. I actually like 9 a lot just my opinion though.
@@mathewhosier9739while I see the point you want to make, I absolutely disagree on VIII only being loved because of those parts. The action and exploration gameplay are very high-quality and beloved in Lacrimosa of Dana too
looks like western rpgs are light years ahead when it comes to gameplay and in general world building. I like many jrpgs for the story and characters but it's sad when some feature we have since witcher 2 gets added to a jrpg and everyone goes : ''oooh, such a improvment''
While I think Nier: Automata and FF7R are fantastic games with a very good combat system (nr. 7 and 3 of my fav games of all time) I think the combat system of Scarlet Nexus is easily my favorite one of this list and amongst the best of all games I've played. And I've really had a lot of fun with Code Vein, but am with you, the difficulty spikes are a bit frustrating especially early on in the game (and I even had a convenience mod installed to accelerate the healing animation and to make the parrying a bit easier). And man Astral Chain looks phenomenal, but I won't buy a switch only for this game 🥲. p.s. "Control" has a somewhat similar combat system to scarlet nexus but with a gun as main weapon not swords and stuff. Not a JRPG at all, but a very good game nonetheless.
@@RR-ho3td Nah, I don't like and play Turn Based JRPGs, so besides of Astral Chain and maybe Xenoblade Chronicles there isn't so much on the Switch I wanna play :)
@@TheRoleplayer40k I mean it's your opinion, but I think it's a bit unfair. Jesse might not be 2B, but isn't ugly at all imho. Especially when u compare it to other Western games of today like Starfield, Outer Worlds, Spiderman 2,... And I watched a studio tour with the actress of Jesse as a guide and it's unbelievable how close the actress and in-game model look, so Remedy didn't do her dirty, which is a good thing either. But yeah, I might be a bit on the "biased site", cause I like Control so much :)
The only game i disagree on is astral chain, maybe if they released a ps5 version running at 60fps, but the game just gave me motion sickness due to its poor performance on switch
More people should aware of how good Scarlet Nexus is, it has one of the best gameplay/battle system of all jrpgs out there, and I played A LOT of jrpgs. Code Vein is also REALLY fun, if you're a Souls or Souls-like fan but not into anime, you should still give it a try, it was great. What I disagree personally though, was Tales of Arise, I played most of Tales series since PS1, and it's sooo weak compared to the older ones, heck even as a stand alone game it's still weak. The story and characters are lame and boring, at least the combat is decent I guess.
I couldn't get into astral chain due to its poor performance on the switch, the game gives me motion sickness, especially if your used to playing games between 60-120fps, the 30fps gameplay on astral chain is headache inducing
Stopped after Tales of Arise came up on the list... I struggled to finish that game, not in a good way. The game/story/battles, pretty much everything was boring af. But I didn't want to stop playing halfway since I paid $50 for it. I might never play another tales games again thanks to it.
![АЛАУДИНОВ у Скабеевой: эти их ВСУ нас НЕ ДОГОНЯТ 😁 [Пародия]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/an0anqU4WGQ/mqdefault.jpg)
The soundtrack in Automata is ridiculous. Absolute insane mood setting
Astral Chain deserves way more love. Glad to see it here.
This is an awesome list. Scarlett Nexus is crazy slept on. I don’t understand it.
The part of that game I liked best was the combat system. It was unique.
I guess this list is fair given the souls series, Nioh, Dragon's Dogma, and Monster hunter aren't typically viewed as Jrpgs.
Yea I could make a top 10 of those games alone so I left them out of this one. I’m a huge Nioh fan!
Great video. I bought Scarlet Nexus and Tales of Arise. just need to find the time to play them.
