    I think it's wild that Stella Glow occupies a weird place in between unknown and beloved. Like, everyone I've heard of that played it (myself included) loved it and can't recommend it enough. But hardly anyone seems to have played it. It really is a special game and definitely worth picking up.

    The Ides of March is actually March 15, so we have a little more time than that.
    Radiant Historia is not only a must play, but it’s a must play more than once. The best part of it for me was knowing that basically nothing is missable, so I could just play in short or long sessions and never worry about doing something that would lock me out of an ending or a party member or anything else like that. It’s an awesome experience, and playing it the second time with knowledge of the story really adds to the enjoyment.

      I bought the 3DS version and played it through to completion. It was great, but I just can’t rate it as highly as everyone else among the “best of all time” conversation. Stocke was a pretty one-dimensional protagonist, and all the side characters were very tropey with varying degrees of depth. The core timeline mechanic was good, and always felt suitably epic when you went back to the limbo area (can’t remember what the game called it), but I often found myself getting confused as to which timeline was which. Both decisions seemed to lead to the same outcome, with the only difference being that sometimes certain characters didn’t know who I was because I hadn’t met them in that timeline yet. It felt underdeveloped and maybe even a little underwhelming in that regard.
      I do remember really liking the artstyle and soundtrack, and the voice acting was mostly really well done too. The combat had a nice feel and I didn’t have issues with the battle system - that was all implemented well. It feels like the kind of game that I’ll look back on really fondly in years to come, but more as a really good game than a best ever sort of thing.

Radiant Historia is a game that I have yet to play, but very much want to.

    I love all the games you listed! Especially Radiant Historia, my new favorite JRPG that even dethroned Chrono Trigger
    Three games you didn’t mention that I want to bring up
    7th Dragon III Code VFD
    A JRPG where you create your own party down to their stats and is super unique
    Dragon Ball Fusions
    One of my absolute favorite Dragon Ball games. It’s a JRPG where fights happen 5v5 in a circular arena with a sort of ATB system. You can knock enemies into other enemies or your teammates to damage them further and if you knock them out of the ring it resets their ATB so they take even longer to get their turn. Of course it can happen to you as well! Definitely give this one a try.
    Lastly and definitely not least, LBX Little Battlers eXperience
    A game by Level 5 where you make little custom robots and fight it out in a storyline that is very reminiscent of Beyblade. Great game for people who enjoyed Virtual ON, Gundam Breaker, or Custom Robo.
    Edit: can’t believe I forgot to mention Culdcept Revolt!
    Magic the Gathering + Monopoly
    A board game card game where you fight to control land and earn enough mana to win

    If anyone needs a push on any of the games mentioned, I highly highly highly recommend Bravely Default. Don't let some of the detractors deter you from it. It's genuinely one of the best RPGs ever made imo. It as well as its sequel have imo, the best RPG job system ever made.
    One thing I wanted to point out is I think you may be confusing the Luminous Arc developers (Imageepoch) with the Ever Oasis developers (Grezzo), who did the Legend of Zelda 3DS games. May have got it switched around with Stella Glow as thats the spiritual successor to Luminous Arc. That was the Luminous Arc developers' last game, unfortunately.

  • @NintendanGX
    @NintendanGX Рік тому +1

    A few more games I'd like to recommend are Culdcept Revolt, Attack of the Friday Monsters, and Crimson Shroud. One's the only Culdcept game to ever make it to Europe (and a fun card-based RPG), the other is a quirky Level-5 game reminiscent of those summer holiday Japanese games on PS1, and the last one is an RPG with a board-game aesthetic that's part of a series of different and unique games by Level-5.
    I'd also like to second the recommendation for Fire Emblem Echoes, as while its gameplay is contentious compared to Awakening and Fates, the quality of the story and characters are head-and-shoulders above those games. It really is a return to form for the Fire Emblem franchise as far as writing goes, and even though the gameplay has its issues, it's still decent overall. It's a fantastic remake of the second Fire Emblem game, and I'd also recommend getting the story DLC that follows the Knights of Zofia before the events of the game.
    And lastly, Project X Zone 2. While I'd recommend both games, the first one isn't available on eShop anymore, and scalpers are having a field-day with it. On the plus side, Project X Zone 2 has a wider variety of obscure characters from Capcom, Namco and Sega's history, ranging from Vashyron and Zephyr (Resonance of Fate) to Dante and Vergil of Devil May Cry fame. It even has some Nintendo reps this time around with Chrom and Lucina of Fire Emblem Awakening, and Fiora representing Xenoblade Chronicles (who, fittingly enough, is paired up with KOS-MOS of the Xenosaga trilogy). If you like fun strategy games, and get a kick out of crossovers, you can't go wrong with this game.

    Wow! For once I actually have most of the games in one of these 3ds videos. The only ones I don’t have are Dragon Quest and Etrian Odyssey. The former is just plain old too far out of my price range to get physically, and if I’m being honest I didn’t really like the Etrian Odyssey games. Believe me, I tried the demos and everything but just couldn’t get into them. Not my taste I guess 😕

    Totally co-sign your recommendation of Radiant Historia, it is simply one of the best RPGs ever, on any system.
    My only addition would be the original Monster Hunter Stories. The sequel on the Switch might kind of obviate it, but the original still has tons of charm and incredibly satisfying gameplay. It has a hefty demo too if you want to try it out before buying. Great video, as always!

    I didn't like Fire Emblem Awakening because it was the first game in the series to let you turn off Permadeath.... Something which I feel is ESSENTIAL to the series! The battles feel FAR less impactful & fun with Permadeath turned off.
    Yes... It can be frustrating, but it tends to suck me into the action FAR more if I know that danger is always there. It makes my heart pound during certain encounters lol & it's just not the same without it!

Only for my 3-D S to basically decide to die and now I have to find another 3DS. Thankfully all of my information is on a Flash card so all I have to do is just get another 3-D S and hopefully transfer my progress over to that 1 and I still need to beat devil survivor overcocked as well as a robot game that I bought before my 3-D S decided to die out. So I just need to beat those 3 games and then I'm pretty much good for the most part but this is still a pretty solid list Alex. And yes I agree the soundtrack in Stella glow is amazing!

      Getting to the true ending involves progressing friendship with a certain non witch character anyways. Btw saves are stored on the physical carts for 3DS, and as for digital, that may be tougher. System transfer usually means that you need both systems able to power on, unless you contact Nintendo support and they may be able to help if it is just the one time.
