It's 'don't-play-in-the-living-room' game, got it.👍I'm planning to get for the PSN Holiday sale.

SaGa is my absolute favourite JRPG series of all time. Opinions, eh

A chore to read (pseudo) Old English? It's my 3rd language and it never has been a problem. I'm guessing you've never played Ultima VII.

Eiyuden Chronicle is one of the best JRPGs of 2024 for me

The last level of every Final Fantasy game is always the worst, with depressing music, dark scenery, and insanely difficult enemies. I think that's sort of a developer inside joke. Otherwise, the other 99% is usually fantastic!

5:05 Pocket sand 💪🏻

Suikoden 2, not even making top THREE.....THAT'S a crime!

Ok look i think people are getting the wrong idea with 'JRPG' JRPG = Japanese RPG and many games i see on here arent 'J' only 'RPG' so can we just be normal and call it RPG instead of clickbaiting people?

Not knowing where to go is part of the fun. It's more realistic. Having a glowing path with arrows pointing the way to solve problems is such a weak mindless way to make/play games.

Just started this year, finished the 3 trails in the sky on pc using my lenovo legion go, now just started trails to azure in my ps5 + lenovo legion go using chiaking for streaming to mobile. Still 4 cold steel, 2 crossbell, 1 reverie and 1 daybreak to go, 8 plus future ones, its going to be a long 2025

Metaphor did win quite a few awards this year. Definitely thinking on it

The pixel remaster of 6 was the first time I’ve beaten it. It is quite possibly the best JRPG I’ve ever played.

You misspelled "BEST." Unlimited SaGa is pretty bad but the rest of this comes down to JRPGs often not being actual RPGs. SaGa is intuitive enough if you play DnD or Ultima or anything that doesn't tell you exactly what to do. Wander around, talk to people, try stuff, have fun. These have unmatched player agency for the era and it's a bummer they got shat for having entirely different goals than a DQ, FF, or Persona.

Eiyuden is very good game. The switch is just too old

The most annoying thing in Dirge of Cerberus BY FAR for me was seeing Vincent showcasing these cool superhuman feats of strength, speed and agility that you’d expect from a prior Turk that had special materia infused to his body that enabled him to transform into these immensely powerful creatures and literally made him immortal, only to resume gameplay and only be able to do some half-assed 2ft dash or laughably average jump, all while fighting these other superhuman Shinra experiment characters who would perform the same superhuman feats against you that they performed in the cutscenes. Vincent is such a cool iconic character and they reduced him to what felt like just some quiet, edgy metal gear wannabe.

CID always was make, in 15 he’s suddenly a blond girl xD

I wouldn't be surprised if Persona 4 inspired Tokyo Xanadu and that Tokyo Xanadu inspired Persona 5.

FF13 IS A GOOD GAME

nah. eiyuden is totally worth it.

Oh god, beyond galaxyland is soooooo good and sounds sooooo good, everyone play it. Even NG+ is still fun.

This is so wrong. So so wrong. How did granblue fantasy relink undsr worth it? It totally went off the rails after While. Reynatis was good and it's worth it. Yeah it's shallow but it's fun it's very how do I say....simple in a sense it's fun. How is Eiyuden chronicles unworthy it? Romancing Saga 2 was like ok...and Hidden Heroes felt better

You know dudes is hit for Xbox gamer's if they make a remake of legends of dragoon for the PlayStation 5 🤯

If you can only afford one game, it’s Metaphor. If you can buy more, then Persona 3 Reload , FF7 rebirth, DQ3, Unicorn, and Like a dragon.

My Top 5 this year: 1.Metaphor 2.Daybreak 3.P3R 4.Rebirth 5.Romancing SaGa 2 This year was definitely the best JRPG year we've ever had

FF7 Rebirth is my Game of the Year😢🎉

I always felt that Valkyria Revolution was a failure because everyone who bought it -including me- was expecting another Valkyria Chronicles. I was actually thinking about going back and replaying it. Natural Doctrine is also in my collection and I remember even back then it had a bad reputation. I played a little of it before moving on to something else fairly quickly. I honestly don't remember anything about it.

I have all of those games in my collection. Although I think my copy of Time and Eternity is still in its plastic because I never got around to actually got around to playing it. The ones i did play weren't terribly memorable but I actually did like Cross Edge.

FF12 was absloute fucking garbage it killed the series for me.

SaGa is love. SaGa is life!!!!

I thought the comments were a little harsh until the Unlimited Saga statement "I literally fiddled with the controller for 10 minutes until I tried the analog sticks". I now agree guy is probably just ass at JRPGs.

Do not buy this game unless you are into constant having the locked on disenaged and unfair off camera attacks. Or love screaming "fucking bullshit I pressed dodge"!!!

He bags on Neptunia games? Does this american know its one of the biggest series in Japan?

Idk what I should be more ODDLY relieved over KZbin removing dislikes or sword art online becoming a reality a because if the latter happened I wonder if these commenters would hunt down the gaming shelf and actually mean what they comment…so far I haven’t seen any threats in the comments so that’s a good sign so far

I do think it did get over shadowed by isekai memorie a F2P mobile game and pc game if you get google play beta

This video single handedly made me want to never watch your content lmfao.

It not easy for trying out new games that look odd and weird.

Got say this vary disappointing video not due dislike the games but more so felt like was unfair and giving "Grandpa yelling at the kids to get off lawn" vibs almost whole time disregarding the eras they was made in or fact most the titles made to be open worlds with little hand holding Along with coming off like a game journalist who can't even take time beat any the titles and just salp of "its awful" Honestly this reminds me when ppl couldn't understand Demon's Souls or Dark Souls before they became mainstream Nothing wrong with saying there not games for ya due there not helping you know what to do as much as like but just seems really bad disregard whole thing as "worst" Feels more like shameless click bait or lack of rpg skill

Wow, a hidden gem video with a few hidden gems. Awsome.

dont listen to the hype on sandman or whatever that game looks like a dbz nockoff and its zzz boring

did i just see cloud riding a segway in skinny jean shorts? the world is ending someone save us

you could easily skip ff7 afterbirth everyone already has an opinion about that game

this is one of those guys who buys product and then gets excited about next product

lol high quality you mean pretty picture? lol

Sad not all are PC

Rebirth falls off hard needed to end earlier lessen the bloat

99 cent for one character. Meanwhile Genshin Impact charges THOUANDS For the CHANCE of one character

This was a really good selection. I was aware of them all but certainly hadn't played them all! I wish the ones that were only on PC would get console releases, but I guess I can't count on Feldivek coming to console. :P I had actually heard of it, though, and it was on my Steam wishlist!
