You mean Lost Odyssey?

Game was CRACK! This needs a remaster across platforms.

 

[storyteller]

This remaster includes one of the GOAT JRPG stories and my pick for best villain in JRPG history (Suikoden 2). It plays great. I'm tryna get it the hype it deserves so we can get remasters of the rest of the series.

Wish fulfillment for nerds.

Does it have ”turn based” playstyle

 

[Piffiztheanswer]

Final fantasy 10 on Ps2 was my last JRPG.

But i copped FF16 on PC cuz that shyt looks raw.

Cant really get into the genre. Tried over many console generations but alas...

Nah but it's pure wish fulfillment

No it's action, but a bit clunky. The story and writing is top-notch.

What’s the appeal to jrpgs

I mean it's just RPG's made in Japan nowadays. Elden Ring and Monster Hunter are games that are JRPG's even though they feel closer to what you see in Western RPG's. Tbh overtime JRPG's and WRPG's have influenced each other.

I guess the big thing between the difference in majority of JRPG's is that it focuses more on characters and storytelling. Along with holding a lot of influence from anime in the art style. Also, the gameplay experience is usually very, very linear.

Typically, WRPG's it offers a lot more freedom. As less focus on story usually and you can set your own experience.

I want THIS Xbox back.

This had to be one of the most unique RPGs and it had a beautiful story and presentation but yea remake for all the main systems.

JRPGs back in town

Western devs drowning in GAAS failures debt and breaking lay offs records each year

 

[Diunx]

All the big franchises in JRPG land either dropped within the last 12 months or are dropping later this year...Ys, Mana, Saga...in addition to the obvious ones

Incredible renaissance for the genre

Yep, I don't think SE is even close to be back in prime form but I really fukking love how they keep remaking/remastering their more obscure titles, fukking Live a Live and Romancing Saga ffs, Actraiser!

Add to that Konami back with Suikoden, Sega and Atlus kicking ass, a new tales coming out any moment know.

I played a few JRPGs last year. The genre definitely ain't dead.
