Baten Kaitos does have a physical release - albeit seems to be skipping North America. However as the Switch is region free, you can just import either the Asian English or UK/Australian PAL versions.
I took a several year break away from jrpgs because I got burnt out on them but now I'm back and really enjoying the genre again. Really appreciate this list.
Now thats a list of greatness if I've ever seen one. Every one of those games is going to be worth picking up imo. The fact it doesnt even count several others on the horizon is impressive. We are swimming in JRPG lately and thats a good thing. I do plan on picking up a physical or LE for all of these (including going to Play Asia if I have to....looking at you Baton Kaitos). Bank account is gonna be as empty as the Sahara desert :-0 (Also cant wait for more info on Metaphor)
Honestly with the more info that has come out about P3 Reload, they are bringing back a lot of the features and story content from FES, the only real thing missing is The Answer.
I would like to say Level 5 said their games will be at the Tokyo Game Show. So I'm expecting release dates at TGS. Personally excited for Fantasy Life i.
For me, Ys X: Nordics, Star Ocean: The Second Story R, DecaPolice, and CryMachina are my most anticipated. There are many that I'm interested in beyond that as well; Legend of Nayuta, Persona 3 Reload and Persona 5 Tactica, GranBlue Fantasy: Relink, and Infinity Strash: Adventure of Dai being the ones I'll probably pick up. Looking forward to a lot of action RPGs, it seems.
Those three games are at the top of my list also. I would definitely say keep an eye on Eiyuden Chronicles too. That game has a ton of potential and the writing is gonna put many other jrpgs to shame 💯
GBF gacha game is actually available globally. It is one of the most accessible ones due to it being mobile and the content is actually synched with Japan.
I'm actually shocked the DQ3 2DHD remake isn't chugging along a bit faster. I'm so looking forward to the Eiyuden vs Suikoden Remake shootout. I guess competition really does make everyone level up. Just unfortunate that Suikoden as a franchise doesn't seem to be in a position to continue.
Baten Kaitos is getting a European release, I pre-ordered it and it should arrive September 19, so if you can't find a release in your region and they won't make one, grab the European physical release!
From what I read it sounds like Disgaea 6 was like a "practice" game for the developers to prepare to make Disgaea 7 as they have taken elements and refined them. For example, auto-battle was introduced in 6 as a new very divisive game mechanic that feels like it betrays the spirit of the game to some but feels like a solution to grinding to others. Disgaea 7 seems to be finding a happy medium where you can only auto battle a stage after winning a fight legitimately at least once.
Maybe getting: Eiyuden Chronicles, Suikoden remaster, Star Ocean remaster Definitely getting: Deca Police, Mario RPG, P5 Tactica, Dragon Quest Dai. Little surprised you didn't mention the more recent Dragon Quest Dai anime which the game is based off. In any case, really good video, man!
@@eduardogaxiola3907 Yep. I've been playing the browser game for several years now and Bahamut is the first summon you get at the beginning of the game. Many other awesome summons as well, so I definitely believe this would right up your alley 💯
Erik, I was happy to know what if my favorite RPGs was getting a remake, but after playing Star Ocean demo, it’s going to blow us all out of the water! Absolutely beautiful! The guy who was in charge of the demo, says it stays true to the game but enhances aspects which make the hame even better! The classic feel but with beautiful graphics remain intact! Since eiyuden is delayed to next year, this game is easily my most anticipated game for the rest of the year
This year and next year lots of big RPGs. Also new expansion to Tales of Arise, probably with a new Tales of game coming out next year too. We still have the juggernaut in FF7 coming out as well. I'm happy I've got a year plus of RPGs coming out in the next 6 months.
I just want to let you guys know that Eternights will release on the 12th. It's an action rpg with a bit of dating sim, like Persona but action. Looks interesting tbh and I already pre-ordered it on Steam.
Re-link is the complete opposite of an open world game and the devs were clear in that. It's going to be curated areas that you're placed in for missions and the story. Few places to roam like you main hub but don't want people expecting the wrong thing.
This was very informative. Thanks. I didn't know about Monochrome Mobius, so I guess I should get that. I've been super-hyped for Eiyuuden ever since I first heard about it, but I don't mind waiting until next year. Star Ocean 2 Remake is going to take up a ton of my time.
Star Ocean: The Second Story R, Super Mario RPG Remake, the Nayuta game looks interesting, and Infinity Strash. Also, hoping for more info on Ys 10, Dragon Quest 3 2D-HD remake and Dragon Quest 12.
When Gran Blue Fantasy Relink in development, was *expecting* a Switch release. It's a bummer there's *no* Switch release...yet. Hope there might be down the line. *Wish* that Dragon Quest Adventures of Dai got a Western physical release, rather than being limited to Asian physical.
I was thinking the same thing about Wandering Sword, surprisingly a couple of the people I've watched with videos like this recently have missed it even though it seems right up their alleys. Had to look into Small Saga and it looks like a fun time too, definitely both good suggestions.
Baiten Kratos is physically in Europe for sure. I will confess not many games on your list excite me. Star Ocean and Super Mario RPG do though. Guess I can't wait for the new Ys game.
I am so looking forward to so many games that are coming up. I had to make the hard choice to decide which game to pre-order with Granblue Fantasy Relink or Persona 3 Reload but I'll probably get both lol. On top of that I can't wait to try Nayuta and, when it comes out, Fantasy Life i !!!!
Star Ocean and Persona 3 are my go to! And straight for the throat if the Persona 3 skips out on the PSPs female protagonist, losing FES is crappy enough.
Have you thought of talking about rpgs that have a slow or bland or even straight up bad start, but get very good later? And/or rpgs that have a great start but get worse and disappointing later? Not sure how much spoiler-free its better to go in these kind of videos, but anyways its always up to you.
Oh yeah, Metal Slug Tactics... I thought it was out and I just missed the announcement but nope. Anyway: picking up Fate/Samurai Remnant when it's out, no doubt! Also tempted by Mario RPG but I don't know, will have to see lol Once at a time!
Just a thought about Persona 3 Reload not releasing on Switch... Is it possible that with all these "Switch 2" rumours circulating that Nintendo may actually be about to unveil a new console and Persona 3 is coming to that but for obvious reasons can't announce it? I'm hopeful for now.
I can confirm that "Nayuta Boundless Trails" has already been out for a while, at least a year if I recall But regardless, would recommend if you not played it yet
Whats the problem with p5 spin-offs? Atlus is not three men team, thats a big studio and they need to have atleast two releases in a year to keep investors happy. And they deffently working on p6 in the background
I'm looking forward to more than half on the list there! I'M ready, but my wallet isn't! lol I'm going to have to disappear around Thanksgiving, Christmas & New Year! xD
Star Ocean is not a 2dhd remake, can tell with the 3d backgrounds and pixel art characters. It looks a bit off to me and I do not think it will stand the test of time, unlike Octopath or the original version.
It's a hybrid game. It has rpg elements in there mixed with musou combat, etc. Definitely looks like a high quality game too. Very polished look, with some nice style and detail to go along with that.
I’m looking forward to deca police. I’ll probably try out the star ocean game never played that series or get in a future sale idk. I gotta get that persona 3 reload was my first intro to the series & still my favorite of them all wish they could’ve brought it to the switch but no worries.
Baten Kaitos does have a physical release - albeit seems to be skipping North America. However as the Switch is region free, you can just import either the Asian English or UK/Australian PAL versions.
Fate samurai looks fun. It's probably going to be a semi dynasty warrior dark soul game but I like when you can customize weapons
I wouldn't dark soul game it More like dystany warrior game with action rpg elements+nioh like boss.
I took a several year break away from jrpgs because I got burnt out on them but now I'm back and really enjoying the genre again. Really appreciate this list.
I did something really similar but my flame was reignited with some retro RPGs like Lunar and 2D Pokémon (even if it’s not really a JRPG).
It's like mid 2000's again! JRPGs are keep rolling and rolling and couldn't be more happy.🤗
1. Fate Samurai Remnant
2. Granblue Fantasy Relink
3. Decapolice
4. Cry Machina
5. Star Ocean 2 R
6. Mario RPG Remake
7. Disgaea 7
8. Nayuta
9. Baten Kaitos 1&2 remaster
10. Infinity Strash
11. Eiyuden Chronicle
12. Suikoden 1&2 remaster
13. Monochrome Mobius
14. Persona 5 Tactica
15. Persona 3 Reload

not mentioned, but I’m excited for Eternights… still wanting Trails in the Sky and Cold Steel 1 & 2 to come to Switch!
Eternights is one of my most anticipated games I’ve had in years.
How are those games not on the switch yet?
Honestly with the more info that has come out about P3 Reload, they are bringing back a lot of the features and story content from FES, the only real thing missing is The Answer.
Man my wallet is crying. What a time to be a JRPG fan though, my backlog is growing faster than I can finish these gems!
I would like to say Level 5 said their games will be at the Tokyo Game Show. So I'm expecting release dates at TGS. Personally excited for Fantasy Life i.
Metaphor Refantazio is also supposed to be next year (though I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they pushed it back to 2025).
This. I can't believe it didn't got even a mention. It was the most interesting announcement this year for me.
@@lokasocba Same, it's the game I'm most looking forward to.
Granblue and cry machina are the ones that i'm excited for. I love nier automata and baton kaitos!
Erik : New games coming out! So first we have Fate Sam-
Me : Say no more. Buying.
For me, Ys X: Nordics, Star Ocean: The Second Story R, DecaPolice, and CryMachina are my most anticipated. There are many that I'm interested in beyond that as well; Legend of Nayuta, Persona 3 Reload and Persona 5 Tactica, GranBlue Fantasy: Relink, and Infinity Strash: Adventure of Dai being the ones I'll probably pick up. Looking forward to a lot of action RPGs, it seems.
Hell yeah! You have my respects for using Valkyrie's Drive soundtrack in this video right from the start!!!)))
I love the fact that Star Ocean games always release around my birthday. I never have to pay for them because I get them as gifts.
I'm hyped for granblue & starocean. Fate looks interesting, had no idea about it but loved the show.
Mario rpg too. Damn it's a good rpg season.
Those three games are at the top of my list also. I would definitely say keep an eye on Eiyuden Chronicles too. That game has a ton of potential and the writing is gonna put many other jrpgs to shame 💯
GBF gacha game is actually available globally. It is one of the most accessible ones due to it being mobile and the content is actually synched with Japan.
There is a remake of the Dai anime that finishes the story. If you are still interested, you May wanna check it out
I'm actually shocked the DQ3 2DHD remake isn't chugging along a bit faster. I'm so looking forward to the Eiyuden vs Suikoden Remake shootout. I guess competition really does make everyone level up. Just unfortunate that Suikoden as a franchise doesn't seem to be in a position to continue.

OLD Switch really need to go! We need Switch 2 NOW!!
Man you really became my most watched UA-camr in the span of 2 months. W videos 👏
Great video as always!
If you have not played star ocean the second story, get it when it comes out. A quirky gem of a game and in my top 5 psx rpgs.
There's also a remaster, I think, coming these days: Rhapsody Marl Kingdom Chronicles, by NIS America.
Regarding Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes, there's HD footage around youtube now! It was uploaded some weeks ago
I definetly want to get Deca Police!
This video was a big help, with so many game releases coming out it was nice getting a condensed list for the JRPG genre
Anyone watching this video not playing Sea of Stars should probably rectify that problem it's incredible

Don't sleep on Granblue Fantasy. Definitely keep an eye on that one and you may be pleasantly surprised. Also, good list.
@@7Ronin7 oh, right. That caught my eye when I saw the collectors edition. I wasn’t expecting to see Bahamut in there
@@eduardogaxiola3907 Yep. I've been playing the browser game for several years now and Bahamut is the first summon you get at the beginning of the game. Many other awesome summons as well, so I definitely believe this would right up your alley 💯
He did mention the anime dude 🤦
@@blakefenslerjr4858 I said the new one, not the old adaptation

There're very many good RPGs this year man, I'll have to do some extra jobs to pay for it 😅
I’m happy that so much promising RPG are going to be released! Currently looking forward for Infinity Strash as a Dai’s fan 😇
Dream Tactics, Kingsvein, Relic Space, Shattered Heaven, Orion's End
Really enjoyed the video! Now to add most of these games to the backlog until the hype makes me want to play them sooner 😆.
This year and next year lots of big RPGs. Also new expansion to Tales of Arise, probably with a new Tales of game coming out next year too. We still have the juggernaut in FF7 coming out as well. I'm happy I've got a year plus of RPGs coming out in the next 6 months.
Eiyuden Chronicle always looks amazing and I can't wait. Also, looking forward to Star Ocean second story remake.
Granblue relink was first announced in August 2016
I just want to let you guys know that Eternights will release on the 12th. It's an action rpg with a bit of dating sim, like Persona but action. Looks interesting tbh and I already pre-ordered it on Steam.
Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster has a physical over here (EU). No import needed.
Re-link is the complete opposite of an open world game and the devs were clear in that. It's going to be curated areas that you're placed in for missions and the story. Few places to roam like you main hub but don't want people expecting the wrong thing.

Crymachina releases on my birthday, I'll be playing it on steamdeck!
When Gran Blue Fantasy Relink in development, was *expecting* a Switch release. It's a bummer there's *no* Switch release...yet. Hope there might be down the line.
*Wish* that Dragon Quest Adventures of Dai got a Western physical release, rather than being limited to Asian physical.
What’s the game that was playing at the outro?
Persona 3 Remake will be on "Switch 2", mark my words
Either that or the definitive version
For sure
You should check out Wandering Sword and Small Saga, both are coming out soon ish and look great.
I was thinking the same thing about Wandering Sword, surprisingly a couple of the people I've watched with videos like this recently have missed it even though it seems right up their alleys. Had to look into Small Saga and it looks like a fun time too, definitely both good suggestions.
your videos are so good! informative, well-structured, and entertaining :]
Subscribed just cause of Fate/Extra Record mentioned.
i finished cry star and would love cry machina the art style is so good
P5T releasing on game pass is so awesome, I can't wait.
Baiten Kratos is physically in Europe for sure. I will confess not many games on your list excite me. Star Ocean and Super Mario RPG do though. Guess I can't wait for the new Ys game.
Missing re fantazio, ff7 rebirth
Play-Asia is doing a physical release for the Baten Kaitos remasters 🤙
I am so looking forward to so many games that are coming up. I had to make the hard choice to decide which game to pre-order with Granblue Fantasy Relink or Persona 3 Reload but I'll probably get both lol. On top of that I can't wait to try Nayuta and, when it comes out, Fantasy Life i !!!!
Ur almost at 100k🎉
And I would like you to know that I have been here since 13k subs!
Eyuden and many spring 2024 release will be on Switch 2. Maybe even Persona 3
I'm curious with gran blue and p3 reload
IKR Decapolice is one of rpg that I really can't wait to get release 😭
P3 reloaded is the most hyped I have been in a long while
I had hoped they'd just remaster P3FES...
@@xavdemansave it for the definitive edition
Star Ocean and Persona 3 are my go to! And straight for the throat if the Persona 3 skips out on the PSPs female protagonist, losing FES is crappy enough.

Finally granblue fantasy, I've been waiting for it for very long time
The anime of Dragon Quest: ADVENTURE OF DAI has been finished at last this years...and it was AMAZING!!!!!! In Mexico it was Fly, not Dai... Jejejeje
Not sure if this was mentioned here before but Sword of Convallaria could be another hot title for your list.
Anyways thanks a lot for the video!
It’s a mobile gacha game
No love for Metaphor: Re Fantazio?
I've gotta be honest, the Suikoden remaster clips you've used in this video look like RPG Maker games I see on the mobile app store.
"Except the switch" hurts 🙃
Showing that people can talk bad about the current remaster/remake culture, but when there are good projects people get all on their knees about them
As long as they release on PC, I am happy.
infinity trash is what it says on the seek bar was that intentional
Oh yeah, Metal Slug Tactics... I thought it was out and I just missed the announcement but nope.
Anyway: picking up Fate/Samurai Remnant when it's out, no doubt! Also tempted by Mario RPG but I don't know, will have to see lol Once at a time!
Screw the switch man :)👍
*Getting both* But honestly looking more forward to metaphor re fantazio compared to p3 remake
Persona is gonna take over my life again real soon
Great video but I am sad there is no mentioning of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Dragon Quest Monster: The Dark Prince and Rune Factory 3 Special
Just a thought about Persona 3 Reload not releasing on Switch...
Is it possible that with all these "Switch 2" rumours circulating that Nintendo may actually be about to unveil a new console and Persona 3 is coming to that but for obvious reasons can't announce it? I'm hopeful for now.
Erik, What do you think of the new Mana game coming in 2024? "Visions of Mana"
I can confirm that "Nayuta Boundless Trails" has already been out for a while, at least a year if I recall
But regardless, would recommend if you not played it yet
Whats the problem with p5 spin-offs? Atlus is not three men team, thats a big studio and they need to have atleast two releases in a year to keep investors happy. And they deffently working on p6 in the background
If they finally remake Golden Sun I can die in peace
Physical version of baten kaitos is available in PlayAsia
I'm looking forward to more than half on the list there! I'M ready, but my wallet isn't! lol I'm going to have to disappear around Thanksgiving, Christmas & New Year! xD
where is metaphor refantazio? from the team that creating persona 5
Here in Europe Baten Kaitos is available physically it seems.
Oh, still no news on Dragon Quest 3? It's been a while since SE said anything about it
They had to focus on and get FF XVI out first. Maybe some surprise news at the Tokyo Game Show? We shall see.
Pity they're not likely to give us a better ending for Persona 3.
The devs have already said crymachina isn’t a sequel its its own thing😅
hey man, what's your take on FFXVI?
Star Ocean is not a 2dhd remake, can tell with the 3d backgrounds and pixel art characters. It looks a bit off to me and I do not think it will stand the test of time, unlike Octopath or the original version.
How has Metaphor refantize not made this list
I need a list in the description.
Seriously, though, what is Atlus thinking with TWO Persona 3 remakes in the same year, and neither the definitive version????
Wait, Fate Samurai Remnant is supposed to be an "official" Fate Musou right? Not an Action RPG.
It a muso game with action rpg/nioh game boss fights
It's a hybrid game. It has rpg elements in there mixed with musou combat, etc. Definitely looks like a high quality game too. Very polished look, with some nice style and detail to go along with that.
I’m looking forward to deca police. I’ll probably try out the star ocean game never played that series or get in a future sale idk. I gotta get that persona 3 reload was my first intro to the series & still my favorite of them all wish they could’ve brought it to the switch but no worries.
Star Ocean is a fun series
Baten Kaitos has a physical release from playasia.
You actually can play the grand blue fantasy mivile game in english
