    Seeing all these games, the 3DS has a stellar line up of JRPGs, probably the best this generation. The only thing it's missing is a new Golden Sun

    • @startreker20

      Jaekization It really is an under appreciated gem. Definitely worth it.

      @maplemiles3381 8 років тому +28

      Jaekization Stella Glow is a extremely rare game. I bought it and I am loving it and it is must get hidden gem. The sad thing is a lot of the best games are JRPG's and a lot of the, are on the 3ds

      Sword_Zockt it is and the actress who plays Lissette is the same voice as mako from kill la kill. There are a lot of great JRPG's on the 3ds it's a great gaming system.

  • @jamesa.646
    @jamesa.646 8 років тому +54

    I'm surprised Stella Glow even made it on this list, that game by far has one of the best characters and story I've ever seen.
    Definitely highly recommend

    I'm really sad Devil Survivor didn't make it to this list :(
    It's one of the best JRPGs ever in my opinion (both Overclocked and Record Breaker).

    • @whatoplay
      @whatoplay  8 років тому +17

      Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker has a PlayScore of *8.82* and was mentioned on the same series list at 6:55 minute mark of the video.

    • @NeoConker626
      @NeoConker626 4 роки тому +3

      It seems that there are "representative" titles, so they took the highest rated game in a franchise and then put others related on the Playscore screen. For example, Devil Survivor 2 and Bravely Second both have higher scores than Fantasy Life. But they are on the SMT IV and Bravely Default score pages.
      Except for Pokemon, that one shoots this theory lol

    Compiling FE Fates along with Awakening even though they are of a different generation. Compiling Bravely Default and Bravely Second.
    But then mentioning Pokemon ORAS and Pokemon X&Y in a separate place? Hmm...

    • @marischkaireina923
      @marischkaireina923 8 років тому +25

      Qeisama yup. They even compiled Shin Megami Tensei 4 with Devil Survivor. That's different subseries altogether. Jeez.

    "The SMT series is one never forgotten when talking about JRPGs"
    lol yes it is. You even had to mention the fact that its the backbone to Undertale, something that would let people get a grasp of what the series is like.

  • @theavatar4668
    @theavatar4668 8 років тому +13

    Is one of those " twists and turns that players would never expect " that the second half of the game is just repeating the first half 9 or 11 times?

  • @theinfantmetroid

    I've seen Stella Glow on the shelves multiple times now and everytime I NEARLY bought it because my favorite artist (Ideolo) illustrated the box art.

  • @faidou9954

    • @mohammadabuata3013
      @mohammadabuata3013 8 років тому +35

    • @sethoricalco1709
      @sethoricalco1709 8 років тому +11

      i do agree, after waiting for a year i couldnt have been more dissapointed with fates, watered down character interactions, removed features and obnoxious censorship just ruined it for me. Also story wise it is one of the worst fire emblem games out there.

    • @sethoricalco1709
      @sethoricalco1709 8 років тому +4

      ***** that is such a huge wall of of text, i just dont know how to respond to it all, first of all, gameplay wise i did like a lot of the changes made in fate and i do think its one of the best fire emblems gameplay wise, story wise though, not even close. First of all conquest was the first story of the three i played and it felt like i spent the entire plotline as jagos's bitch, the mc did nothing but follow his orders and spent the entire plotline repeating that he made the wrong choice, they said you would be changing an empire from the inside but you dont do shit until the semi final chapter, and i think they could come up with a thousand better ways to stop the corrupted king other than literally conquering a country so that he could seat on the throne, which not only sounds dumb, but had a really high chance of failure, what if garon decided he just didnt like his new seat and replaced it before seating on it? all that death and drama would have been for nothing. then came hoshido which was the best story out of the three, typical fire emblem story of the small guy beating the evil empire, my only complain with this plotline was that elises death was way too predictable and way too forced for me to feel anything about it, even when she was one of my favourite characters. Finally the true route left me feeling like the mc was the biggest dumbass to ever walk the earth, he did nothing nothing but fall for ovbious traps and trust people a 12 yr old wouldnt trust, not to mention you leave the entire premise of the two countries at war extremly early on and never come back to it until the epilogue, turning the game into another generic FE story, why was all that war stuff even necesary if it could be resolved so easily?. Also the children might aswell have not ben there as the only bit of story they get is their paralogue and a copy paste of the DLC from awakening.
      all in all, the whole story just felt really half assed, predictable and uninteresting to me, and the censorship was just the icing on the shit cake.

    • @sethoricalco1709
      @sethoricalco1709 8 років тому +3

      ***** Well i really think a crown prince far outstrips the royal counselour in rank, so th mc coulda just made a plan to gain xander to his side and the openly oppose Iago, also the two pronged war against Iago and the Hoshidans would have justified the difficulty of the Conquest plotline, which would have been way better and more reasonable than what we actuall got. The characters interactions were changed with way more childish ones and they even discarded some interesting background story so that is would be more "child friendly" and im really salty about that cuz most just felt dumbed down to the point of being irrelevant, almost as if they were mocking the characters, like the "that means i love in dragon" part, that made cringe in disgust for real.
      Also while Awekening wasnt the greates FE story i like the way it was told, it wasnt just defeat main bad guy A and save the world, there were some twists and turns which, although somewhat predictable, at least added some more meat to the story. I agree with Lucina being basically useless tho, its no wonder she couldnt save her timeline when time travel isnt enough to fix all her problems. On the reviving bad guys for the ships, i dont really think its that big of a problem cuz they are all DLC, sure free DLC but at the end still entirely optional, which makes it 100% not cannon. Also i think Awakenings characters were more unique than in fates despite a lot of them being references to old FE characters, especially since half the retainers form the nohr side were characters form awakening (furthermore, the characters i liked the least and never used in awakening).

  • @masteryoshi87
    @masteryoshi87 6 років тому +5

      You're doing it wrong.
      If Fates is a great Fire emblem in your opinion, then Fire emblem isn't for you.
      Fire emblem Fates was adapted to kids, even if it's rated T.
      Sacred Stones and Blazing Sword (Gba games) are much better than Fates could ever hope to be.
      It's a great JRpg, but fates isn't a fire emblem. It's a strategy game wrapped in a visual novel.
      Awakening actually is a Fire emblem game, but since it was sucessful, Nintendo wants to turn it to kids stuff to be able to realease it every year like pokemon with multiple versions like fates.
      Don't take me Wrong, Fates is a great game, but it's missing that fantastic gameplay that the previous ones had, and that gameplay was what marked Fire emblem as a Hardcore Franchise not for the faint of heart.
      But now?
      .... Even a mobile app?
      Nintendo.... Don't kill fire emblem, I'm begging you.

    • @rodrigoisrael9891
      @rodrigoisrael9891 8 років тому +7

      that's very elitist, i haven't played fates, but so far it seem like a pretty nice fire emblem game.
      Fates still has the "hardcore" stuff for older fans, it just added easier difficulties so more people would get interested in the franchise and im happy about it, because even if people get interested in fire emblem thanks to the phoenix mode, i'd rather have more people to talk about the game i love, than having no one to talk about it because it is so "hardcore" that filthy casuals wont bother with it

    • @severusblack4
      @severusblack4 8 років тому +15

      Are you serious? fates, specially conquest, is more a Fire Emblem game than Awakening will ever be.

      @afg1346 8 років тому

    Monster Hunter isn't a JRPG. It's an action game like God Eater. That said, I have pretty much everything on this list and while I would debate the order a little bit based on my own reviews of these games, I'd say it's a pretty solid list.

    to note;
    Bravely Default was only published by SquareEnix--the company that made 4 Heroes of Light, Bravely Default and Bravely Second made it as homage to earlier FF's, and Squeenix backed them--thankfully so. :)
    frogot proper developer team name/s, but Squeenix barely had anything to do with it beyond 4HoL's "Final Fantasy" add-on title.

    Yokai Watch 2 Bony Spirits and Fleshy souls should be here.I don't care about its ratings.
    GameXplain dismmissed many features of the game,IGN just did a 2 minute review complaining about the optional sidequests and not even reaching the FIRST boss and many just dislike it for being a Pokemon Rip-Off while both are EXTREMELY different.
    Why can't anyone the Yokai Watch frachise....

    • @stephenobrien6983
      @stephenobrien6983 8 років тому +5

      Buy if you can find it for a good price. It's reminiscent of the old FF games with it's job system but the story & characters are a bit lackluster, although they are likable & the dialogue is written & voiced decently. The aesthetics & mechanics are fantastic though, but the game is somewhat linear. (In saying that, I'm only 3/4 the way through so depending on how it ends, it might be better than what I currently think).

      Chris Hansen DeSu never gets mentioned in lists like these for some reason, even though it was one of Atlus' best of the 3DS. I've given up on being mad about it because it seems like only a few folks know about the awesome world and story of the Devil Survivor Series.

      Chris Hansen Awakening is not overrated, and Devil Surivor 2 isn't a better game either. They are both splendid games; people have, however, different opinions.
      Personally, I prefer Awakening because of its magnificent soundtrack, memorable characters and splendid art direction.

    Yo-Kai Watch 2 got low play scores? But it's a much bigger game world, way more yo-kai, better battle system, it's easier to befriend the yo-kai and you only need to ride the train (that everyone hates) for only 12% of the game. I always say you don't really experience the best of the Yo-kai Watch games UNTIL you finish the 'main story', once that's out of the way, there's tougher dungeons, new bosses, the legendary yo-kai, the battle missions and mystery road!! WTF
