If you liked Fire Emblem 3 houses, check out Lost Eidolon's, its not bad at all for an indie game (it looks like Fire Emblem with Dragon Age realistic style graphics) and it has almost the whole voice cast of three houses on it, and other coming out as I posted elsewhere here, is "Redemption reapers" which looks amazing. Turn based games are FAR from dead. Its just that certain developers are trying to kill it, like Squaresoft. Dumb move on their part, as Persona 5, Octopath Traveler, Yakuza, and other recent popular games clearly show, while Final Fantasies stocks dropped 11 points. Action and turn based are TWO different genres, each with their own fans, who often dont like the other. Some just dont seem to understand this though.
I just finally got into the Trails games this year and finished Sky FC and Cold Steel 1 and am playing Cold Steel 2 right now. Absolutely in love with this series and can't wait to get to Zero and Azure. I am kicking myself for missing out on this one for so long. The story telling and word building are some of the best I have ever experienced from any JRPG series. Closet favorites coming out this year are Secret of Stars and Eiyuden Chronicles Hundred Heroes. And I just want to hear something about Granblue Fantasy RE link to know its still a thing. Looks awesome but we have heard nothing about it in years.
I'm excited for YS 10. Best Action RPG. Hands Down. Only combat better than it might be Punishing Gray Raven ... or Wuthering Waves... Hey man, Blue Protocol is releasing 2023... i know its an mmo... its still a jrpg. happy holidays man!!

Granblue Fantasy is not mobile game exclusive to Japan. It has official English version for the rest of the world and you can play it with a browser like a Chrome. What I don't like about Suikoden series is that if you won't (and it's hard to achieve during 1 playthrough) recruit all heroes you won't get great ending. They basically force you to use a solution and guides which destroy the pleasure of playing it.
Couldn’t agree more about engage not looking like fire emblem and way too fanservicy, I guess it’s because it was meant to be an anniversary spin-off but it still has me skeptical as a fan of the more traditional games
I am surprised there is no FF16 on the list. I know the Final Fantasy franchise has been losing its way for many years but it seems the new producer Yoshi-P is very reliable according to the fans.
@@denyk142 Zero is necessary and more than fine, Azure is excellent. The "Chibi" Design like your call it is more because of the gameplay (it's almost half tactical RPG) and because of the consoles limits.
So looking forward to Trails To Azure and Reverie later on! Also keen on seeing how Fire Emblem turns out. Engage has me worried more than any F.E ever has.
Same on all accounts. The art style for the new Fire Emblem looks better than Three Houses, but the design for the main character is rather suspect. The summoning of past heroes makes it sound like a Gacha game which is so far removed from the series roots that it's hard to fathom how Fire Emblem has evolved to this point. I'm never a day one buyer as my backlog is huge and I'm cheap too, so I wait until a game is on sale months down the road for 50% off and the game breaking bugs have been patched. This one will be no different, but it will be interesting to see what others think of it.
More and more Preorders for the Suikoden 1&2 Collection are currently going live, so I think that it's pretty safe to assume that the game is getting a physical release.
Eh even on sale it's way too expensive for a digital game IMO. If there was a physical version i would have bought it a long time ago but there's no way i'm paying more than 30€ (on sale) for a digital game. 20€ is my ceiling when it comes to digital games.
@@bladeofmird it's a full fledged game that only got a digital release cause the developers have self-published it, and they don't have the marketing budget of some AAA publisher for a physical version it's easier for them to get their games out that way IMO, especially after pretty much ALL of their original games weren't financial darlings despite being very talented
@@bladeofmird the game it's great for what I'm seeing on the demo. And as what someone said, there's no physical version, and the sale on the eShop puts the game around 26 $, so if you're upset about the price you can check it now.
I am looking forward to Eiyuden Chronicles, Suikoden, Trails, and Atelier Ryza 3. If Armored Core 3 comes out this year, I'm dropping all my other games.
I was hoping to see Eiyuden Chronicles at number 1 and you did not disappoint. I'm so excited for its release that I got goosebumps watching your clip of it.
No Final Fantasy? Nice, Rebirth will be a convoluted mess like Remake and FFXVI is straight up medieval DMC5,i'm just curious to see if the story will be any good. Never in my life have i seen another video game franchise change so drasticaly in all of its aspects like Final Fantasy did. Its like a completely different franchise now.
9:52 Estelle is dead, Erick. Sorryy About Reverie: I consider it the second best game post Crossbell games and before Kuro ones behind CS2. IT really surpasses CS4 by far having one of the best moments in the trilogy related to Rean. Also the new characters are quite good, and C kickass. Lapis is loveable and Nadia is a beauty too. Definitely recommended.
Suikoden 1 and 2 was already ported on PSP as simply Gensou Suikoden 1 & 2.....widescreen was implemented and 8 way direction control was introduced on that port.. but still in japanese SIGH...that is the one ive been waiting for so long very very long...i hope someday it gets an english patch as for me that is the version i really wanted most...to be with the same line with the PSX RPG's ported to PSP like Star Ocean First and Second Departure ,Valkyrie Profile Lenneth and Persona 1,2 and 3.. PEACE!!!!
@@omensoffate I hope i'm wrong but i have a feeling that a lot of you guys (including Erick) don't want to say you're interested in games like FF because they are too mainstream and you would loose points for your reputation as "sophisticated" JRPG gamers.
What about FF XVI and VII REBIRTH .. Especially XVI looks a little bit like nier in the gameplay department so i thought you would like it.. Also one piece might be good...
i never liked the Fire Emblem series and probably never will. there is a lot of woke crap in there games. unless they change that i will never play and like their games ever again.
Next year has a FUCK ton of good games, ONLY thinking of JRPGs off the top of my head, I'm really excited for Reverie to release here in the west. Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is something I've been waiting since 2020 for, even backed it myself FFXVI looks fucking fantastic Granblue Fantasy Relink looks good
For Fire Emblem Engage I am worried about the Nintendo Online and online only component of the game. Nintendo in their absolute fear of piracy is willing to start ruining their games.
no final fantasy 16? I guess this is what the title says "10 upcoming jrpgs" not "my 10 most anticipated jrpgs". I'm buying a ps5 for the new ff release can not wait.
I remember reading they were only hired to do the combat gameplay and when they were done with that it was left to Cygames to finish it. That was between a year and 2 year's ago so not sure if that remained true. The gameplay shown so far looks pretty good for an action rpg.
Is just me or jrpg has being stuck in a creative impasse and those games are a example, same character design based on any anime basic model, same gameplay, the same music, there’s no fresh air for jrpg?
Fire emblem looks bad so I'm gonna wait and see with it. Even though I already played it I'm still most hyped for trails to azure. We neeeeeeeed hajimari though, also kuro no kiseki
I just hope Octopath Travelers II has more party interactions than the original. Its sad that you only have kinda generic scenes available at bars and a few during specific chapters but no party interactions during fights or character actions.
I was hoping FE would continue with the tone and storytelling of Three Houses, but oh well, Engage looks more gameplay-focused anyway. Also looking forward to Trails to Azure, after just getting Trails From Zero for Christmas. I have a lot of catching up to do with Trails and Ys...
No FFXVI, VII Rebirth, DQIII HD2D or Sea of Stars huh? Well, to each their own, lol! I personally would love an HD2D remake of FFVI or DQV, but if I'm dreaming here, I'd also take a new, more modern-retro take on Shining Force in the style of the first few games, and a new Alundra title closer to the original & Landstalker, and less like the travesty that was Alundra 2! Additionally, if you get a chance to play through Chained Echoes, I highly recommend it. While it does have it's flaws, it is a pretty DAMN good effort from a solo developer, with gorgeous level design and a few gameplay mechanics somewhat similar to Chrono Cross. Definitely worth not overlooking at the very least, and one of the best indie RPG's I've played.
Eyuuden chronicles got a function test on switch during the summer, I’m pretty sure I read it in their monthly Kickstarter updates. So I’m pretty sure it’ll come to switch.
FE Engage feels like FE Awakening again and a return to old FE after Fates and Three Houses.. but of course new game means new mechanics.. people will be tired if it's the same old FE they used to know and play every release and if it feels like just a reskinned FE game..
one of the reason i am a fan of fe because they change their gameplay mechanic a lot. There would be an era like gba where the gameplay mechanic almost similar. However if we look at the difference of gameplay mechanic for different console/handheld it was significant. I actually prefer it to be dynamic like that than stuck into same formula. Maybe because i am not old school fan that grows in gba era so i prefer how fe as franchise currently.
@@renren5660yes.. i get why some pople do not like new mechanica being introduced.. it's intimidating specially for an already complex game like FE.. i admit i also need a single playthrough before i understand and know how to use the new mechanics and how it helps my party.. but it's fun learning and discovering new stuff.. it makes the experience fresh.. and once fully understood it's a good reason to play in new game+ or try maddening difficulty..
Trails has made the jump in the west, there was no series that benefited more from the pandemic lockdowns than trails did. The incredibly long game scripts, the endless amounts of reading, suddenly that barrier became much smaller when everyone was in lockdown with nothing to do. I think a remaster of the sky trilogy is inevitable, the fact that Sky is the only set of trails games not available on all modern consoles is a drag that I expect will be remedied in the next few years. The economic case for a remaster of sky and a release on all modern consoles has never been higher.
I am excited for Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes as well. With that and the remasters for Gensou Suikodens I and II, we Gensou Suikoden fans will be eating well in 2023.
The main reason we are getting Suikoden Remasters is because of Eiyuden. If Eiyuden never happened then Konami would have probably never thought of releasing the Suikoden Remasters. It is done out of Spite and Pettiness. They didn't do it because of fan demands. IMHO.
This list was quite depressing because it describes how much the JRPG market has changed in the 7th and 8th gen and it hasn't recovered since then. It was never a good thing for the market when Level-5 and Japan Studio parted ways after White Knight Chronicles. Japan Studio's higher-up executive, Masami Yamamoto, was responsible for the mismanagement who was the head of external development. Japan Studio operated their own business in Japan and was never considered to be part of SIE. Both MediaVision and Level-5 parted ways with Japan Studio in exchange of irrelevant small games like The Last Guy, Rain, No Heroes Allowed VR, Tokyo Jungle, more golf games from Clap Hanz and The Tomorrow Children over JRPGs. There was already a problem with delays of localization because Japan Studio and SIE operated region wise. Games like The Legend of Dragoon, Dark Cloud 2, Rogue Galaxy, Wild Arms were victims of this. I prefer the market to have a choice and not more from the same companies in the past two gens. Market feels much smaller without Level-5 and MediaVision working on a platform holder collab title. There is for a reason why Level-5 Fukuoka office has struggled with underperformance of Ni no Kuni II and Yo-kai Watch 4 and two new IPs were trademarked in 2020. Inazuma Eleven and Layton were transferred to Tokyo office where they focus on mobile first and consoles second. Fukuoka office is OG since 1998 where they focus on consoles. Nobody gives a damn about Megaton Musashi, Yo-kai School and all that mobile crap ported to consoles that Tokyo office makes. I hope 9th gen will see a change even if it looks grim right now.
I didn't know FUGA is getting a sequel!!! Love the first game. The art style was phenomenal... That and... I'm kind of a furry at heart. So double win on me. And Suikoden is a damn cult classic. I couldn't get part 1, but part 2 and above were absolutely stunning. The drama, the politics, ideology and characters were great. I even played the one on the DS. The only blemish on this series was 4 and its chaotic naval exploration. 5 was definitely my fav due to you being a prince and all. That one had more political roller coaster than all the other games. Damn it. Now my wallet's gonna feel light.
I'm sure I heard somewhere that Fire Emblem Engage was originally going to be an Anniversary title, probably why there are heroes from most of the older games.
Thats problem with Legend of Heroes for newcomers, you need to play something 11 + 70hrs games before new one, and thats why they have actually slim fanbase. (May newbies must to wait for Kuro translatuion, as that is new arc, and there not so many major connections). I bought 3-4 Cold Steel (on sale), while i enjoying them i understand thats this was mistake. And this is problem for newbies - actually unfrendliness to newcomers. You cant depend only on old fans (and this was visible by statistic in Steam)
Granblue Fantasy Relink is vaporware. That was announced in 2016 with expectations for a 2017 release, then 2018, then 2019.. delayed over and over and over. Hard to care anymore.
I can't wait for the Shadow Hearts spiritual successor. The only downside is that it seems to be using a traditional turn-based combat system, as for legal reasons it probably can't use the Judgement Ring. I would have changed it to a pendulum combat system myself. Essentially the same as the Judgement Ring, except it being a pendulum. ....that and I could coin the phrase "the pendulum of fate is swinging". Which is based on the Guilty Gear X2 match start phrase "The Wheel of Fate is turning". Just something for myself lol.
Suikoden 2 is my first JRPG, played it in PS1. So now, I really cant wait for the remaster and Eiyuden. I’m also a big fan of Octopath Traveler, the only game I 100% a game.
but probably by limited run.. it seems konami don't like to pay extra to publish their games in physical format specially outside japan.. they don't even develop their own games they just let other studios do it and they just publish..
I really hope they have releases of all Trails games in the West. Loved CS so much, that I beat the first two, 4 times each, twice on PS3 and PS4. One of the very few games I beat and instantly did NG+. Playing Zero right now and seems great also.
I love Octopath Travelers. But I think they lack an aspect that I consider extremely important in JRPGS and that I really missed playing the first game. Games like Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy and other RPG classics always take great care in the interpersonal relationship between your team members. In many games, we can feel that there is a friendship, affection and correlation between the characters in the game in a very strong way, as is the case with Zidane, Garnet, Vivi, etc in Final Fantasy IX, for example. I didn't feel that in Octopath this was properly explored, I felt that the stories were individual and that the team members had little or no affinity with each other. That instantiated dialogue they created to create conversations didn't convince me at all and I didn't think it was that cool, at least to meet the need I described throughout the text. I hope that in II they fix that and try to work a little better on the relationship between individuals.
the games i wait for are in development, they are Armed Fantasia (Wild Arms successor) and Penny Blood (Shadow Hearts successor), hopefully both games will survive and get to a release point
Not gonna lie after playing all the Ys games its sad to say playing those chronologically is like watching a ball role down stairs with each entry getting worse and worse as it goes. Ys 9 was alright but the Story really hit its stride with the Original Trilogy, Ys Origin, Ys 1 and Ys 2 after that wow it just gets bad and fan servicey rehashing the same tired plot lines with a new girl that's name ends with the letter A. I respect that they keep consistent with Adols growing move set I.e. once he learns to jump in Ys 8 he never looses it, but If I have to read another "You Know" in Ys X I'll probably donate it to charity.
I am NOT excited for Fire Emblem Engage. Stupid title, terrible character design (aside from the boobie girl, hard to get that wrong), and the mechanics seem alright but the premise of them is cheesy. I have pre-ordered all of the Switch Fire Emblem games, but I want reviews before I go in on this one.
Gonna be a good year. But I just CANNOT see the hype or get excited for Octopath 2. The first one was so narratively dull and a real grind. Was not impressed at all and I see nothing to suggest the sequel is gonna mix things up.
Sometimes I feel some sort of despair whenever I think how much time I'd need to actually finish my back catalog of JRPGs. And yet they release new ones every year.
the art in engage is just so.... really bad. the characters look like the worst in the series and i just can't bring myself to invest or care about them. the designs are just too cluttered and incomprehensible, which is sad since the characters post awakening have been very iconic and memorable looking, especially the 3H cast...
I hate that Trails, since CSIV, force us to play different parties like this. Its like u cant really choose what story u want to see, and it lost space to show deeper relations between older party members anymore.
oh my poor wallet but good t6o se some of the older games making a comeback i loved playing them the first time around so canty wait to see the differnce in the remake of them and to play them again great video as always love the channel so glad i found it as a big rpg fan and long in the tooth its good to see some of the oldies but goodies getting remakes for all those who never got chance to play them when they 1st came out they have something to look forward to
Trails and Ys!
I'm also looking forward to the Dragon Quest III 2D HD remake next year
Good to see that there are still strategy / turn based games RPGs to be released.

Wait wait wait FATE/Extra is getting a remake?!?! I’ve been waiting to play it for a long time, hopefully it comes to the west as well

Additionally, if you get a chance to play through Chained Echoes, I highly recommend it. While it does have it's flaws, it is a pretty DAMN good effort from a solo developer, with gorgeous level design and a few gameplay mechanics somewhat similar to Chrono Cross. Definitely worth not overlooking at the very least, and one of the best indie RPG's I've played.
Sea of Stars is the glaring omission, for me, really looking forward to that one. FF needs to show me something, I'm not getting my hopes up just yet.
I recognize the music at the end of the video :D it’s from Fate Extra for PSP
No Final Fantasy XVI? One Piece Odyssey? Dragon Quest XII? Kingdom Hearts IV?
Those are some massive titles to just skip over 🤷♂️
He and 99% of youtubers is all about the switch. if its not on the switch they have to pretend its not worth be hyped about.
I'm playing through Trails From Zero right now and am very interested in Trails Into Azure too.
48 frames per second y such a odd number for the video
Eyuuden chronicles got a function test on switch during the summer, I’m pretty sure I read it in their monthly Kickstarter updates. So I’m pretty sure it’ll come to switch.
Surprise by the cold shoulder to the One Piece rpg in a few weeks. Hard agree on the trails and EC/Suikoden games.
FE Engage feels like FE Awakening again and a return to old FE after Fates and Three Houses.. but of course new game means new mechanics.. people will be tired if it's the same old FE they used to know and play every release and if it feels like just a reskinned FE game..
one of the reason i am a fan of fe because they change their gameplay mechanic a lot. There would be an era like gba where the gameplay mechanic almost similar. However if we look at the difference of gameplay mechanic for different console/handheld it was significant. I actually prefer it to be dynamic like that than stuck into same formula. Maybe because i am not old school fan that grows in gba era so i prefer how fe as franchise currently.
@@renren5660yes.. i get why some pople do not like new mechanica being introduced.. it's intimidating specially for an already complex game like FE.. i admit i also need a single playthrough before i understand and know how to use the new mechanics and how it helps my party.. but it's fun learning and discovering new stuff.. it makes the experience fresh.. and once fully understood it's a good reason to play in new game+ or try maddening difficulty..
Can’t wait for fate extra record
Kind of hoping they release the trails in the Sky as a bundle so we dont have to wait for each installment.
Trails has made the jump in the west, there was no series that benefited more from the pandemic lockdowns than trails did. The incredibly long game scripts, the endless amounts of reading, suddenly that barrier became much smaller when everyone was in lockdown with nothing to do. I think a remaster of the sky trilogy is inevitable, the fact that Sky is the only set of trails games not available on all modern consoles is a drag that I expect will be remedied in the next few years. The economic case for a remaster of sky and a release on all modern consoles has never been higher.
I would buy each but would prefer a collection so no waiting to play them and could go right through the trilogy.
Suikoden might release in March according to a Spanish retailer leak
FF16? Tales of Symphonia?
glad to see these delayed games coming to the surface again. covid really changes almost everything huh...
I am excited for Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes as well. With that and the remasters for Gensou Suikodens I and II, we Gensou Suikoden fans will be eating well in 2023.
The main reason we are getting Suikoden Remasters is because of Eiyuden. If Eiyuden never happened then Konami would have probably never thought of releasing the Suikoden Remasters. It is done out of Spite and Pettiness. They didn't do it because of fan demands. IMHO.
I just put them on my wishlist. Too many good JRPG games. ❤
We are in the year of The Legend of Heroes! I’ll also throw Ryza 3 and the One Piece JRPG as must pickups for me personally.
granblue is not exclusive to japan, its fully in english. Now paying might be a problem tho
This list was quite depressing because it describes how much the JRPG market has changed in the 7th and 8th gen and it hasn't recovered since then.
It was never a good thing for the market when Level-5 and Japan Studio parted ways after White Knight Chronicles. Japan Studio's higher-up executive, Masami Yamamoto, was responsible for the mismanagement who was the head of external development. Japan Studio operated their own business in Japan and was never considered to be part of SIE. Both MediaVision and Level-5 parted ways with Japan Studio in exchange of irrelevant small games like The Last Guy, Rain, No Heroes Allowed VR, Tokyo Jungle, more golf games from Clap Hanz and The Tomorrow Children over JRPGs.
There was already a problem with delays of localization because Japan Studio and SIE operated region wise. Games like The Legend of Dragoon, Dark Cloud 2, Rogue Galaxy, Wild Arms were victims of this.
I prefer the market to have a choice and not more from the same companies in the past two gens. Market feels much smaller without Level-5 and MediaVision working on a platform holder collab title.
There is for a reason why Level-5 Fukuoka office has struggled with underperformance of Ni no Kuni II and Yo-kai Watch 4 and two new IPs were trademarked in 2020. Inazuma Eleven and Layton were transferred to Tokyo office where they focus on mobile first and consoles second. Fukuoka office is OG since 1998 where they focus on consoles. Nobody gives a damn about Megaton Musashi, Yo-kai School and all that mobile crap ported to consoles that Tokyo office makes.
I hope 9th gen will see a change even if it looks grim right now.
Aaaaaah! We have the same number one!!!
I didn't know FUGA is getting a sequel!!!
Love the first game. The art style was phenomenal...
That and... I'm kind of a furry at heart. So double win on me.
And Suikoden is a damn cult classic. I couldn't get part 1, but part 2 and above were absolutely stunning.
The drama, the politics, ideology and characters were great. I even played the one on the DS. The only blemish on this series was 4 and its chaotic naval exploration.
5 was definitely my fav due to you being a prince and all. That one had more political roller coaster than all the other games.
Damn it. Now my wallet's gonna feel light.
I'm sure I heard somewhere that Fire Emblem Engage was originally going to be an Anniversary title, probably why there are heroes from most of the older games.
Thats problem with Legend of Heroes for newcomers, you need to play something 11 + 70hrs games before new one, and thats why they have actually slim fanbase. (May newbies must to wait for Kuro translatuion, as that is new arc, and there not so many major connections). I bought 3-4 Cold Steel (on sale), while i enjoying them i understand thats this was mistake. And this is problem for newbies - actually unfrendliness to newcomers. You cant depend only on old fans (and this was visible by statistic in Steam)
Granblue Fantasy Relink is vaporware. That was announced in 2016 with expectations for a 2017 release, then 2018, then 2019.. delayed over and over and over. Hard to care anymore.
I can't wait for the Shadow Hearts spiritual successor. The only downside is that it seems to be using a traditional turn-based combat system, as for legal reasons it probably can't use the Judgement Ring. I would have changed it to a pendulum combat system myself. Essentially the same as the Judgement Ring, except it being a pendulum.
....that and I could coin the phrase "the pendulum of fate is swinging". Which is based on the Guilty Gear X2 match start phrase "The Wheel of Fate is turning". Just something for myself lol.
Suikoden 2 is my first JRPG, played it in PS1. So now, I really cant wait for the remaster and Eiyuden. I’m also a big fan of Octopath Traveler, the only game I 100% a game.
I can’t wait for Fuga 2.
I have Fuga 1 on both the PS4 and Switch.
Also waiting for suikoden 1&2 HD.
And the eiyuden chronicles game too.😁
i am 100% positive their will be a physical version of suikoden 1&2
but probably by limited run.. it seems konami don't like to pay extra to publish their games in physical format specially outside japan.. they don't even develop their own games they just let other studios do it and they just publish..
@@BL4CKF4NG yep by limited run hope to get a copy if it comes out
I really hope they have releases of all Trails games in the West. Loved CS so much, that I beat the first two, 4 times each, twice on PS3 and PS4. One of the very few games I beat and instantly did NG+. Playing Zero right now and seems great also.
I love Octopath Travelers. But I think they lack an aspect that I consider extremely important in JRPGS and that I really missed playing the first game.
Games like Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy and other RPG classics always take great care in the interpersonal relationship between your team members. In many games, we can feel that there is a friendship, affection and correlation between the characters in the game in a very strong way, as is the case with Zidane, Garnet, Vivi, etc in Final Fantasy IX, for example.
I didn't feel that in Octopath this was properly explored, I felt that the stories were individual and that the team members had little or no affinity with each other. That instantiated dialogue they created to create conversations didn't convince me at all and I didn't think it was that cool, at least to meet the need I described throughout the text.
I hope that in II they fix that and try to work a little better on the relationship between individuals.
the games i wait for are in development, they are Armed Fantasia (Wild Arms successor) and Penny Blood (Shadow Hearts successor), hopefully both games will survive and get to a release point
Not gonna lie after playing all the Ys games its sad to say playing those chronologically is like watching a ball role down stairs with each entry getting worse and worse as it goes. Ys 9 was alright but the Story really hit its stride with the Original Trilogy, Ys Origin, Ys 1 and Ys 2 after that wow it just gets bad and fan servicey rehashing the same tired plot lines with a new girl that's name ends with the letter A. I respect that they keep consistent with Adols growing move set I.e. once he learns to jump in Ys 8 he never looses it, but If I have to read another "You Know" in Ys X I'll probably donate it to charity.
I am NOT excited for Fire Emblem Engage. Stupid title, terrible character design (aside from the boobie girl, hard to get that wrong), and the mechanics seem alright but the premise of them is cheesy.
I have pre-ordered all of the Switch Fire Emblem games, but I want reviews before I go in on this one.
Gonna be a good year. But I just CANNOT see the hype or get excited for Octopath 2. The first one was so narratively dull and a real grind. Was not impressed at all and I see nothing to suggest the sequel is gonna mix things up.
Sometimes I feel some sort of despair whenever I think how much time I'd need to actually finish my back catalog of JRPGs.
And yet they release new ones every year.
the art in engage is just so.... really bad. the characters look like the worst in the series and i just can't bring myself to invest or care about them. the designs are just too cluttered and incomprehensible, which is sad since the characters post awakening have been very iconic and memorable looking, especially the 3H cast...
For like the past 5 years I’ve seen “Granblue Fantasy Re: Link” on every “Upcoming RPG’s” list and then it never comes out. Smh
I'm excited for Fire Emblem Engage, The Legend of Heroes Trails from Azure, and One Piece Odyssey
Personally, I'm just waiting for Kingdom Hearts IV. Hopefully it'll be released sometime this console generation...
I've only played the Cold Steel games, but I'm still looking forward to Reverie. What do you think about Loop8 coming out in March?
I'll definitely grab Azure, though I'm so behind in trails games because I need occasional breaks from them due to their massive lenght.
Glad there's plenty of great JRPGs to play now that Final Fantasy has gone full action. Squenix is dead to me after that decision.
I hate that Trails, since CSIV, force us to play different parties like this. Its like u cant really choose what story u want to see, and it lost space to show deeper relations between older party members anymore.
The thing I don't like about the new Fire Emblem game is how the main character looks. The hair is so fucking weird.
I'm excited for Trinity Trigger. As a big Mana fan I am interested in what this spititual successor has to offer.
oh my poor wallet but good t6o se some of the older games making a comeback i loved playing them the first time around so canty wait to see the differnce in the remake of them and to play them again great video as always love the channel so glad i found it as a big rpg fan and long in the tooth its good to see some of the oldies but goodies getting remakes for all those who never got chance to play them when they 1st came out they have something to look forward to
In really need to pull my finger out of my ass and play YS IX, I fucking loved 8 but have just not got around to 9 yet
damn eiyuden looks great.. but surely cant wait for that octopath 2.. both are beautiful arts..
I will definitely be passing on fire emblem engage after playing three houses... it was so crap I'm done with the series!
