I've just discovered your channel and love your passion for jrpgs and the fact that your don't curse on your videos and have a nice soothing voice. I can have your videos on in the background while in the company of my family 😊
Clayton's channel is part of my routine now. I sit comfortably with my late evening coffee, watching calmly. Simply. I relate very much to his video gaming life. Feels like an old friend. We're both the same age, had the same feelings with our games. Production is always top notch. You will never be disappointed with his videos.
That's so kind of you! @@KCRacingTeam
You look and sound nothing like the type of guy who'd be this truly passionate about video games. And I love it.
Xenoblade and Fire Emblem changed my life when I was younger
Found your channel recently and must say that I’ve absolutely loved everything so far. Mature, intelligent and oh so relatable. All the best from Sweden 🙌🏻
Thank you so much!!
Xenoblade 1 was a life-changing game for me. It completely rejuvenated my passion for games. Excited for you to experience this amazing series! I would even go so far to say Xenoblade 3 is my favorite game on Switch, with Definitive Edition a close second.
Hey Clayton, I've never been a fan of JRPG's but I've given persona 5 royal and FF7 remake a proper go and I have completely shifted. I then stumbled across your channel and your love for JRPG's really resonates with me. I now realise that the reason I finally appreciate them is due to the way you can completely escape from reality. Games arent the same these days but JRPG's feel like they still are... a fun immersive video game that doesn't have to be real or grounded in reality. You don't have to compete, have an opinion, or follow the crowd, you just clock off, get cosy and enjoy the experience and feel completely disconnected.
Exactly! I feel like JRPGs still have that magic of exploration and escapism that you don’t find in a lot of of other video games
What a way to start my day, by listening at Makna Forest theme.
To me Xenoblade is so close to my heart, it battles constantly against the Zelda series to take the 1st spot as my favorite games ever.
If there's a Fire Emblem game I suggest both you and your kid to try, it's Fire Emblem Awakening on 3DS. It was my first and it made me a fan.
Clayton, loved this video. Star Ocean Second Story is that jrpg (the new remaster is amazing). Unicorn Overlord is making quite an impression on me. Love Dragon Quest. Looking forward to more game insights from you.
Thanks for that compliment really appreciate it. Can’t wait to play unicorn overlord that’s next on my list.
Am I the only one whose been watching clay Morris from morning invest to redacted to now this.
Suprised me that he plays video games to this scale
I love Xenoblade. Changed my life honestly. I really like your style man.
Fire Emblem Three Houses and the entire Xenoblade Series have defined who I am as a person like little other experiences in my life have. You have a lot to look forward too!
Whoa~ nice collection 😮! The JRPGs that I've been wanting to sink my teeth (metaphorically, of course) are Etrian Odyssey, Atelier Series, Ys Series, Fire Emblem Series, Dragon Quest Series, Xenoblade Chronicles and fairly quite a few others. If there's any games that I've been trying to complete, it would be Ys IX: Monstrum Nox, Shin Megami Tensei V & IV (I still want to play Apocalypse), Tales Series (I hope they port Berseria, Xillia & Zestiria to the Switch), Tokyo Xanadu + etc. I do also like Action JRPGs like the Yakuza & Judgment series; they're my therapy for me. Monster Hunter is another game that I like to play as well.
this video put a smile on my face
Holy cow. Your switch collection is insane.
Can’t wait for him to discover Fire Emblem 7. Engage and Three Houses are good games, but the Game Boy Advance titles are the finest jrpgs ever designed
most fire emblems are masterpieces but awakening and three houses were my all time favorites. I'm working on an awakening fan remaster right now with a buddy of mine.
"She sniffed into her hanky at her lawyer's office as she filed for a divorce saying..."He just kept saying..."WAIT HONEY...I NEED TO FIND A SAVE!!!"...know your daily limits...LOL!!! GREAT JRPGs you listed so far...Tears of the Kingdom maybe?...one of the best I've played in the last 40 years or so...first was the tables in the bars...there went all my laundry quarters...I almost filed for a divorce back then...TRUST ME!!!...enjoy guys!!!
TOTK is not a JRPG......It's an action adventure...though BOTW and TOTK are not good Zelda games.
@@ItApproaches ...I know...I was hoping he picked up a copy and played it...I'm currently replaying Trials of Mana...because I was replaying this game whilst awaiting Unicorn Overlord...I have NO choice ...sadly...but to finish it...dag nabbit!
I'm 54 years old and I also love JRPGs and RPGs in general.
Skyrim being my fave of all time.
I'm almost finished Baldur's gate 3 and there is some woke bull in that game though.
Your right there is nothing like curling up in a comfy chair and a pillow or blanket and playing a great RPG
I just subbed to your channel.
Look forward to more of your videos. Take care brother
Already loved your journalistic work, and now I discover you also play video games. Awesome, man 👍.
Awesome, thank you!
Golden Sun on the GBA was an amazing JRPG. And part 2 was even better! I think you would enjoy it very much 😀
Sora no Kiseki, Sen no Kiseki, Kuro no Kiseki are absolute masterpieces, I highly recommend those. (Be careful, they might eat up to 1000 hours all combined if you want to see everything). Especially the Sen no series has something very interesting, since you begin as a small student without any experience nor unique skills. (Additionally I somewhat recommend Tokyo Xanadu as well, especially EX+ since it has a additional post game story which was quite interesting) The combat in TX isn't the best since it was one of their first action attempts but the story is very well done
Your collection....wow😮😮❤❤. Chrono Trigger...all-time favorite. Seeing Dragon Warrior warmed my heart. I remember playing it and not wondering why I was so enthralled by it but enjoyed it so much❤️❤️❤️❤️
Did you ever play Crystal Mines?...100 boards...went to 50...paused for a break...then the last 50 boards were MUCH harder and in reverse!!! It took a day to beat it with family and friends without shutting it down!
I really enjoyed Octopath Traveler. It was too tough for me to beat however I completely enjoyed my 80 hours with its gameplay and style. I want to splurge on Live A Live sometime soon.
I just got back into playing JRPGs myself, I am currently downloading Visions of Mana at the moment! I am super excited! Thank you for your new channel! I have been following you on your other channels!
Oh can’t wait to play that!
Are you playing the Japanese version?
We are so much alike. The difference being I have a MUCH LESS understanding wife... and three kids. Love the content here. You are a great storyteller. You basically say how I feel and are doing what I would love to do (but can't).
This video pretty much sums up my experience with jrpgs I've enjoyed a lot of Final Fantasy games but a lot of other franchises have passed me by which I'm trying to get around to. Great video!
Thanks so much
Its a trip seeing a professional journalist type like you talking about his love for JRPGs to Xenoblade music.
I wish there was more of this on UA-cam.
If youre looking for a really long and deep series of JRPGs I'd suggest the Trails series. Its a series that has probably the mosy interesting setting in any game in my opinion.
Imagine if the world went from pre industrial revolution levels of technology to tech close to our current level in the real world in the span of 50 years instead of the around 300 that it took us.
Also theres pocket watches that allow you to throw fireballs.
Same, i only knew him thorugh his jornalist channel and couldnt believe when i saw the same guy talking about my favourite videogame genre
Thanks so much! Yes, I’ve been putting together a trails list in the order in which I plan to play them.
@@ClaytonMorris if I could make a suggestion of play order. The series takes place on a continent named Zemuria all in about a 10 year period, so every game builds off the last lore wise, and is 3 sub series deep right now with a 4th coming west starting this year. Those subseries start with 3 games of Trails in the Sky, which takes place in the country of Liberl, then the city-state of Crossbell had 2 games, after that the Erabonian Empire had 4 games. Erabonia is in a cold war with the Republic of Calvard which has an arc of its one coming west soon.
I TOTALLY GET that this sounds intimidating and like I just gave you a bunch of homework, so I am going to make a bold suggestion: if you are all interested skip the Sky and Crossbell arcs and try Trails of Cold Steel 1 the game that starts the Erabonian arc. This is the most modern arc in terms of game design and does a great job at on boarding new players to the world and game mechanics of the series.
If you like Cold Steel 1 then you will love the rest of the series. Its on Steam and PS4 and goes on sale for $20 or so all the time.
Also if you do end up playing it, I hope you enjoy Xenoblade 2 its one of my favorite game of all time with probably the vest soundtrack in anything IMO. Seriously, look up "You Will Recall Our Names". Its an incredible boss theme that is straight up orchestrated metal.
This makes me like you even more, I didn't know you had a gamer side, aside from Redacted News!
Thanks so much!
No matter how crappy society may be a good JRPG is the cure. I’ve been playing unicorn overlord and loving it. Love seeing Ys origin on your self.
I'm waiting to play this after re-visiting Trials of Mana...do you recommend it?...I've played on different systems for decades...killed Tears of the Kingdom...etc hands down!!!
I highly recommend it it’s nice and relaxing it seems simple at first but the more you advance the more strategic you have to get. It’s essentially ogre battle 64
In a lot of ways you have grown up to be your own kind of Dragon Warrior Clayton.
So glad I found your channel. Absolutely love sitting down with a good jrpg and it really can be such a chill and relaxing experience. If you enjoyed fire emblem, shining force 1, 2 & CD are fantastic games with a lot of the same systems fire emblem has. Definitely worth checking out.
I'll definitely check out Shining Force. Thanks!
Just took your advice and made myself a cup of tea while it's raining. Going to watch your video then continue on my journey with Ni Nu Kuni.
I'm saving Xenoblade and Zelda, and fire emblem series for the switch 2, hoping Nintendo release enhancement patches for them
Love that! I need to play that one. I found a PS3 copy of it.
Holy crap. What's up with all those games in the background?!
Love your content man and generally uplifting positive attitude toward your gaming. Great upload! To answer your question my favourite rpgs are mostly ps1 era. I love that style. Snes era too. I love the top down perspective, the often prerendered backgrounds, the turn based combat etc. Some favorites of mine are grandia 1, breath of fire 3, chrono trigger, Final Fantasy 6,7 and 8, wild arms 1 and suikoden 2 :) Shout out to Alundra as well though thats more an action adventure
Wow! That is quite the collection 😄. My favorite Final Fantasy was X. Such a great story and group of characters. I’m still playing Xenoblade, but I started with Xenoblade 2, then 3. So I decided I should really start at the beginning with Xenoblade Chronicles 😅. Such great games, all of them. Thank you for taking us all somewhere to just chill and relax. 🙏🏻
Looks beautiful in Portugal
Engage was so fun and refreshing after how dark 3 houses was xD very cozy vibes just like Xenoblade for me :)
Love JRPGs. I still try to get back that feeling of playing FF2, FF3(6), Secret of Mana and Chonotrigger for the first time. Nostalgia is the correct word in a good sense. Your playroom looks cosy indeed😊
Are you guys living full time in Portugal?
Cheers.
I'm a 1994 kid. Played FF6 in 2015 and didn't like it. I think it has a lot to do with nostalgia, indeed. I could see the appeal of Celes, Locke, Tera, Magitechs etc, but that's about it.
Whoa! Nice. My son and I just finished 1 together on the Pixel remasters.
Dragon Warrior II on the NES spanked me like I owed it money. When I finished it, I felt a real sense of accomplishment.
Great video! Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm with your kiddo, too. I've been thinking about having my kiddo try Xenoblade.
Have you played strategy JRPGs? Unicorn Overlord has really surprised me.
Anyway, happy gaming!
I love strategy JRPGs. And unicorn overlord is the next game on my list to play.
I gotta play jrpgs one day. Currently playing Sifu, it's currently free this month on ps plus basic. It pays hommage to the old school Kung fu films. Awesome game, all the moves are real. Jrpgs are Art in motion.
fan of western rpgs and d&d, get into jrpg just with switch generation, and what amazing 'library' of worlds store there, with all those ports from past consoles makes it even better
I was into ragnarok online, final fantasy 7, legend of zelda ocarina of time. Legitimately fell in love with all of these.
I had a slow climb w/ rpgs since I didn't get into them proper until high school when I got into the gba pokemon games, paper mario, and the mother games, and right after high school is when I first played xenoblade and thought that it was the greatest thing ever, and even now very few rpgs have matched the obsession I had w/ xenoblade
Favorite JRPGs...?
- Final Fantasy VII for PS1 -- I still have my original launch copy in perfect condition. I have absolutely no idea how I managed that either...(?) I had played video games for a ~decade when FF7 came out & I think that was really the 1st JRPG I had ever played...(?) & Prior to the PS1, I had plenty of systems to try a JRPG, but it just never happened that I recall -- I had an NES, a Genesis, a Sega CD, a 3DO, all before my PS1 & I can't think of one JRPG I owned until the PS1 arrived...
- Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete, which I believe launched on another system, but I had it on PS1 & it was awesome
- Grandia II for Dreamcast had great gameplay
- FFVIII & FFX for PS1 & PS2 I also appreciated
There are certainly more that I have played in my day..., but I suppose those were the real impactful ones because I am otherwise drawing a huge blank... Oh! I do remember Total Recall for NES. It wasn't an RPG of any sort, but I remember owning that game & it was quite possibly one of the worst video games I've ever played -- great movie; but such a horrid video game. This would have been before GamePro was out & when I was young enough, my parents would pick games off the shelf to buy that I would then have to play. But GamePro & EGM - I don't think it was really until these took off that JRPGs (save for Nintendo games) were really even given their day in the States for a lot of young gamers.
Nice chanel keep it up bro. Im also same age as you probabily , grew up with ff and jrpg and i still prefer turn based jrpg above anything else ❤ its very nostalgic replaying most of these games and remembering how ruch the stories are specialy now that we are all grownup
Just found your channel and subscribed right away 👍🏽.
Awesome! Thank you! Very kind of you.
Tales of Berseria and the Sword Art Online Series are some of the best JRPG's that I've ever saw.
I remember when you were on FOX news. You always had a chill demeanor.
Just finished playing Tears of the Kingdom a couple of weeks ago. Although Breath of the Wild is still my favorite between the two, the story in Tears of the Kingdom is by far stronger and has left a stronger impression on me for sure.
With the announcement of the dlc, I’m continuing my playthrough of Eldin Ring. The world and the lore are so immersive, and overcoming the challenges is very satisfying.
I’m new to the Fire Emblem series myself, and I’ve only played a couple of the games. I would highly recommend you play Echoes: Shadows of Valentia on the 3DS. The story and the characters in Echoes are so memorable, and it has become my favorite in the series as of right now.
My first FE was Path of Radiance. What an experience.
Can't wait to play that.
final fantasy 7 and the octopath traveler series are my favourite rpgs. Fire emblem and triangle strategy my favourite tactical rpgs and unicorn overlord u m playing at the moment is insane. Great video by the way very calming thank you.
I grew up in a very hostile environment and it was a real thing for me to play games and withstand the fire and flames.
I find it really interesting that trying Fire Emblem Engage ended up rekindling your love for JRPGs! The 3DS Fire Emblem games were my introduction to the series, and I’ve played every new entry since. I definitely agree with you and prefer protagonists that feel like real characters opposed to a self insert. Three Houses does have a protagonist that doesn’t speak and is meant to be the self insert, but man the story and other main/supporting characters are really good.
Also cool that you picked up Xenoblade! The entire trilogy really does have gorgeous environments and background music to compliment each location. Xenoblade 2 has my favorite environments in the trilogy. I tend to get bored of side quests that are fetch quests, but the ones in the third game were of really high quality and well designed. If you liked doing the ones in the Definitive Edition, I’m sure you’ll love the side questing in Xenoblade 3 if you end up trying it some day!
That’s great to know about the side quest in two and three. Thanks for that.
It’s settled, from here on out only JRPG content? 🥃😅 good lad
Love the need den!
I always preferred the name Dragon Warrior for the series but I knew the official name was Dragon Quest. Can't wait for the HD 2D remake of III.
OMG. Me too. I hope they do all of them like that. Would open them up for a whole new generation.
New sub. I love your chill vibes
Thanks for subbing!
the xeno series is probably my favorite jrpg franchise of all the ones i have played.
the characters just feel very human compared to a lot of other jrpgs i have played.
as for rpgs that i can recommend that are also a bit more niche or just don't get recommended that often.
-pandoras tower(wii) is an action rpg with an otome twist in it's gameplay and it's one of the operation rainfall games that xenoblade was part of back in the day.
-parasite eve(ps1) a fusion of survival horror and jrpg developed by square that got a pure suvival horror sequel. the first games is simply amazing.
-lisa the painful rpg(pc) a western made sidescroller jrpg that is brutal in it's difficulty as well as heart warming and funny.
-the yakuza/like a dragon games they a fairly popular but not really talked about in the rpg circles. most games use an action combat beat em up system but there are also some turn based games. you can start the series with either yakuza 0 or 7(since it has a new protag with his own journey at that point)
-elona+(pc) this in all honesty is one of the best games i have every played and yet most people will probably bounce right off it within the first 20 minutes of the game. it doesn't explain controls to you or mechanics. it's pure trial by error. the story is nothing all that special. some evil necromancer wants to rule the world. yet it is simply amazing! right from the get go it is made clear that the world is not made for you and exists on it's own. npc will sometimes just handle quests on their own. towns will sometimes have horrible events happen because some guy did a dumb thing like picking up a sword that has the chance to start the apocalypse with each swing. it is a game of absolute freedom. you could fight the dragon by getting a high enough lv and slaying it with your party...or you get as MUCH alcohol as you can carry and start throwing it in his mouth until he is to drunk to move and just beat him up with your bare fists. can't get into a treasure room because of some hard to crack lock? just smash in the door or turn the wall next to it into another door with your transmog spells.
hell if you want you could just turn it into fantasy pokemon. bringing a monsters health low enough allows you to catch it via a monster ball and from that point on deploy it as an extra party member. i could literaly talk for hours about adventures in this game. the things written here are not even the weirdest stuff.
-fear and hunger 2(pc) is another game i can highly recommend. it is difficult as hell, but has some amazing characters and super fun game mechanics.
it's a finish jrpg with a limb-based, turn-based combat system. you play one of 13 people that got stranded in the town of prehavail. there you are forced by the moon god to take part in a battle royal. not only among the other 13 outsiders that ended up there but also all the insane townspeople. it just like elona allows for a lot of freedom in the way you handle situations.
Wow. Thanks for this. I’m saving this!
Hey Clayton, just found that channell, love it ❤ video games, help to stay sane 😅.
Very interesting, to see you game 😊.
Have you tried: the Kotor (knights of the old republic) series? And if yes, what do you think about it? Just curious.
Because i loved these games.
With love, from Austria.
Oh, you live in Portugal? I thought you were either in USA or in Canada).
Glad you enjoyed Fire Emblem. I've recently played Fire Emblem Fates, almost finished the Revelations route. I also played Fire Emblem Awakening some years ago and before that Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon and Fire Emblem The Sacred Stones.
I do own Three Houses, Engage and Echoes, just haven't played any of them.
There's a rumor that Nintendo remade Fire Emblem 4. Hopefully, it's true and they'll announce it in a few months.
By the way, I just finished Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana yesterday. What a game! The ending was really heartfelt and even though the way they ended the whole story isn't really my cup of tea, the way they treated the characters' story is pretty great and wholesome.
I finished Octopath last year. Great game with one of the best soundtracks ever.
Yeah here temporarily in Portugal. I've got Octopath on my list as well.
@@ClaytonMorris ah, okay).
I think you'll enjoy Octopath. Just be warned that the true ending of the game is locked behind a post game boss, which is T.O.U.G.H.!
Hey again Clay!
Breath of Fire IV - mentioned it to ya last week! Trust me, it's a gem! ^^ Xenoblade looks awesome!
I'll check it out!
Always gets a shake of my head when people say something has a special place in their heart. I'm like oh? Where is that? By the left ventricle? People should be saying it has a special place in my mind! The heart only pumps blood, it does nothing else. Love is not from the heart, passion, fondness so on. The heart only circulates blood, nothing else.
I am Gen X as well and have loved games since the first 8-bit Nintendo came out.
I retired last year so now I have more time to put into my gaming.
My first jrpg faves were Dragon Warrior, FF I, Phantasy Star I-IV, FF IV VI and VII and Chrono Trigger.
Shin Megami Tensei V on the Switch and Yakuza:Like a Dragon on Xbox are my current favorites.
Awesome games.
I highly recommend you try out Fire Emblem Fates on the Nintendo 3DS.
It involves two different factions you can side with( in Conquest you side with a European gothic knight kingdom, and in Birthright you side with the feudal asia kingdom, there is also an option to download Revelations, which lets you form your own side with choice members from the other factions).
This series allows you to marry your army characters and later on recruit their offspring who inherit skills from their parents.
As much as I love Three Houses and Engage, I miss the marriage system.
Breeding super soldiers was a lot of fun in Awakenings(precursor to Fates) and Fates.
I'd like to know what kind of shelving is that behind you, thinking of picking it up for my gaming room?
I forget the name, but it’s an IKEA shelving system. I think it starts with the letter F.
Hey Clayton, have you ever played EARTHBOUND?
No. It’s on my long list! But I’ll get to it.
OMG your collection is insane haha 😂
Im very new to JRPG’S FF16 is my first and really liking it. Looking forward to playing FF7 Remake and Rebirth next
Ys and Fire Emblem are my favorite franchises
Probably got Dragon Warrior the same way I did, FREE with Nintendo Power 😂 it was my JRPG introduction as well and it quickly became my favorite genre.
Really? Free with Nintendo Power? Hmmm I don't remember being so lucky. I must've asked my parents for it or something. I would remember getting a free game with that amazing magazine. Just like sending away for the Hooded Cobra Commander.
@@ClaytonMorris it was a big ad campaign they did in 90 if I remember right. Pretty sure this is the same ad I saw as a kid
ua-cam.com/video/VnfMQOn0LdQ/v-deo.htmlsi=T0fr7EhveI3JmcH-
I knew Engage would create at least a few new Fire Emblem fans.
Have you played Like a Dragon? The one with Ichiban. I think you'd appreciate it.
Kasuga Ichiban is my spirit animal.
Fantastic video, you reminiscing about your childhood reminded me of my own. Have you ever played Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne? It's got incredible world building and a ton of grinding since it seems like you enjoy that too. Highly recommended, and available as a remaster on modern platforms.
No I haven’t yet. I’ll add it to my list!
Now you are ready to play any fire emblem and you will have 10 time better experience
Nice video, I like tese stories :) I just finished FF pixel remaster, all 6 games.
I really loved playing ff7 recently it was just a great time, and star ocean i loved the characters and their interactions, it's unique world and concept, and although the combat is more on the action side the challenge was lacking but the experience was so great i didn't mind it much, i can't wait to start the 2nd one, besides persona 2 which i loved but took way too much time for me to finish due to it's lack of challenge
I think you would love guild wars 2.
Clayton check out Xenogears. It's old but gold.
That's awesome man if the flame goes out again try some Super Nintendo Classic (ideally for hdmi) jrps like Chrono Trigger or Mario RPG.
Quick question how do you mentally switch from the things you say/see on Redacted to gaming? I find it difficult given the things happening in the world which sucks since gaming is my happy (childhood/memories) place.
Well I’ve been doing it for most of my life. I just have to carve out time to relax and calm my mind.
Make a video about some jrpg that you want to play someday
If you like fire emblem you should also try Tactic ogres final fantasy tactics Langrisser I & II symphony of war and the new game that came out call Unicorn Overlord.
Looking forward on the FFVII content 👍
The only JRPG that matters at the moment IS FF7 rebirth. I’m like 15 hours in (and if you’ve played the first one, it’s amazing)
I say this a lot about your videos, but it’s awesome to see a dude my age, and a cool successful one at that, enjoying awesome games
Hey thanks for the kind words
Hey Clayton ))) Love Your Content on Yer Other Channel!
Love the Fact that Yer an Old School Gamer... Like Myself.
If You Haven't tried the Persona Series...
I Cannot Recommend PERSONA 3 Reload by ATLUS Highly Enough!
ATLUS also Has A Big hit Coming in METAPHOR later this Year )))
Be Well And Keep on GAMING!
Yes I can’t wait to try this series. Been on my list.
How is living in Portugal? I know many Americans and other nationals live in Portugal.
Yeah there's a lot here but it's slowing down I think the end of the golden visa has slowed things. It's great but it does take some getting used to.
Friend, you need to try the Persona series.
Yes I do. For sure.
Chrono Cross was my favorite back in the day beat the original and Suikoden III
Video game was amazing to me hope they do a remake for the switch for
Suikoden III
Have you played the original? Chrono Trigger?
I was a pretty big fan of Engage, but I do think it would have benefitted from a more compelling story and depthier characters as most fire emblems have. Characters have gone down hill since the DS era aside from like 3 houses(kinda).
Breath of Fire IV
FF7 is the best! You’d love Rebirth
Fire Emblem is a strategy game, but Fire Emblem Engage is an amazing 10/10 masterpiece and every character they did an amazing job at making for their personality and visual design.
JRPGs are some of the best games that Are not infected with the Sweet Baby inc Woke Virus
Yes exactly. Was just talking about this with a friend last night.
Fire Emblem Engage was such a disappointment after the masterpiece that was Three Houses. I can't think of ANYTHING good about Engage. The story was horrible, wasn't till the last 4 missions where the story actually did anything. The characters were awful, the art style of the game was like a stupid v-tuber. Maybe the combat in Engage was good you could say, but that is not enough to hold up the entire game. The soundtrack was forgettable. I can't give Engage more then a 5/10, and that's being generous. Three Houses gets an 11/10 though.
The story was 0.25x as good as three houses, I didn’t mind the hub world. The character models looking Vtubers, gotta agree *for cutscenes*
However, once ur in a map playing the battles, the animations, mechanics, and gameplay (ring system) is just so peak.
I sit at 7/10. The story is garbanzo beans and the VA for evil protagonist is atrocious
Yeah the combat was why I cared.
Let's forget about FE and let's play Unicorn Overlord
Story was served for utilitarian purposes. But the visual polish and the gameplay was incredible. Play it in Maddening mode to really appreciate all the mechanics the devs placed in for the game.
