    As some have you have noticed, tactical RPGs aren't featured in this particular video, and that's by design. We don't want to say too much, but TRPGs might just require their own list 👀

    CrossCode. It's an indie RPG much like Sea of Stars, set inside an MMORPG (though it's a single-player game), and it's oh so very worth your time. The combat is very unique in that it's a real-time system where you use projectiles to damage the enemies. And it has an amazing story which I won't spoil here.
    It ended up being one of my all-time favorite games ever by the time i finished the story. Please, please play it, everyone.
    That includes you, Felix!
    TL;DR: CrossCode is amazing, everyone play it.

    Monster Hunter Stories 2 pretty much replaced Pokemon franchise for me.
    It's lengthy with great production values and has a lot of post game content. You can endlessly combine monsters into a perfect set of your choice and there's actually a lot of different features that make them all viable for use.
    I also think that Neo World Ends With You should be there somewhere as it's a great story paired with a fun and uniqe collection combat system. I got a copy for 25 bucks and felt like it was better than most 60$ titles.

      If you want a concept like twewy(neo twewy was not good as the first one) bomb-rush cyberfunk is good too.
      If you want story driven, your best bet would be persona3,4,5 (all solid, depends on what you want), nier automata, final fantasy x. honorable mention: xenoblade and .net rpg series
      want to try different indie rpgs that have really good stories? omori, oneshot. do not sleep on omori, It's unlike any other game

But xenoblade chronicles remastered is definitely a close contender for my favorite. But dragon quest 11 definitely wins for me. Especially because of the ability to switch to a classic snes graphics mode.

    Lack of Fromsoftware presence at Switch is so disappointing. I hope they port all the games when next system comes. All of the fromsoft games are PS3 and PS4 games. They haven't started to make game for current gen. So next system should be capable. RPGs I am hoping to be released on Switch: Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 3, Sekiro, Elden Ring, Armored Core 6, Cycberpunk 2077, BG3, FF15, FF16, FF7 Remake, FF7 Rebirth, Dragon's Dogma II, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Kingdom Hearts series.

    For the Xenoblade games I highly recommend playing them in order. I was first introduced to the series with Xenoblade 2 and absolutely loved it to the point it is top 3 all time RPGs for me. Then the original Xenoblade was released and I found myself kind of rushing through it to see if I would find a link between the stories at the end instead of taking my time and enjoying it. Then Xenoblade 3 is a masterpiece as well. I hope to one day go back and play them all again. They literally check all the boxes for top tier JRPGs: incredible music, great combat, ample things to do outside of main story, etc. If you are anything like me plan for a minimum of 100 hours for each game. I think I logged almost 200 in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 but that included the prequel time (Torna, the Golden Country, which was also amazing)

Let's just say you can create a healer the focuses more on paralysis and poison in certain entries of the series.

    Xenoblade Chronicles 1 is my favourite of the series the world, story, the battles and the music is top notch even if the battle system is a bit basic compared to XB2, 3.
    XB2 was annoying with some of the boss battles being literal walls with random insta kills and the gacha mechanic for the blades is not fun aswell as the arbitrary world progression in certain areas coming to a random stop as blades wasnt upgraded enough.
    XB3 was mechanically very deep and much better balanced still some boss battles could end close to them being finished which was annyoing when it happened very randomly, it lacked that fantastical beautiful world and story that i loved in XB1.

      @sofaris576 Місяць тому

      @@mamaluigi429 Well I can try.
      Fuga Melodies of Steel is a 20 houer long turn based JRPG about a groupe of anthropomothic animal children that go on a quest to save there families. They live inside a giant ancient mysterious powerful fortress like Tank. Its a bit like Howls Moving castle but based on technology instead of magic.
      The turn based combat is really good. In my opinion its even better then the combat of Persona 5 and Final Fantasy X. Its not that hard or complicated but I need to keep my head in the game at all times or things will go south fast. Almost no fight feels like mindless filler. Its very engaging.
      The music is amazing. The boss theme "Flower on the Trails" is my favorite piece of Videogame music.
      I was lukewarm towards the children of the Taranis at first but they grew on me more and more and more and now they are my second favorite protagonist groupe in fiction.
      The game is super linear with almost no exploration, no sidequests and no optional super bosses.
      Fuga is available on PC and most modern consoles like Switch, PS4, PS5 and so on.
      Fuga has a free demo which is just straight up the first 3 chapters of the game. I highly recommend that demo.
      It also has a direct sequel: "Fuga Melodies of Steel 2" but I advice against playing the second game before the first game unless you do not care about the story and characters.

I've heard some of the older Zelda games are a bit puzzle heavy type which tbh is not my thing, don't really care for playing puzzle games.
