12:00 Lost Dimension is on PC FYI.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thanks for the heads up!

[@fumomofumosarum5893]

I'm glad you mentioned Seven Pairates ^^; it is very "special" indeed. I have it in my collection and played it for a while, but for some season, didn't complete it.. Still I'd argue it is a JRPG that just MUST exist. It insists on existing in our timeline.

[@meowza0215]

lol nc to meet you, i've found you and subscribed. good stuff, keep it up!

[@angelangelo1988]

VOILA LE SIGNE QUE TU A DEMANDÉ A DIEU !!!! ou pensez vous allez apres votre mort ? en enfer ou au paradie ? le SEUL moyen. cest en se repentant de ces pechés au segneur Jesus...

[@AtlasNight]

I Have The Full Game Of Seven Pirates H On My YT Channel None Of The Videos Got Banned They Just Got Limited Ads And Age Restricted.

[@ericclass8441]

I got 7th Dragon and Stella Glow when they were doing an RPG sale on 3DS. Loved it and kept going and going. Even through the hidden bosses. Difficult but well worth the challenge. Also funny that two of the characters look like Beat from Jet Set Radio and Camilla from Fire Emblem Fates if you give them the right class/color combination.

[@nanasenoah8139]

Stella Glow was great, sadly no one seems to have play it lol

[@Yamihakkai]

I played Lost Dimension in PS3. It's awesome! And the way you can "keep" the powers of the deceased characters made the customization even more interesting for me.

[@feeamerie5011]

Pride of place in my PS3 collection🫶

[@gamepapa1211]

I also seconded the recommendation for 7th Dragon Code VFD. I mean, what other JRPG allowed you to cosplay as Yami Yugi from Yu-Gi-Oh and take down real monstrosities with your trusty Deck and your Heart of Cards? None except this one! "My grandfather's deck has no pathetic cards, VFD! DRAW!!"

[@gabejva6071]

Love how you put great 3DS tracks in your videos!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@CardfightVanja]

Thank you for shouting out Dragon Star Varnir, I played it a couple years ago and it quickly became one of my favorite JRPGs, if not games in general. It's a masterpiece that deserves to be played. The battle system is unique, the worldbuilding is incredible, the story is insane but compelling, the characters are all well written, and the other systems the game introduces add a lot to subsequent playthroughs. There are so few games with this atmosphere, the only real analog I can think of in tone is Mary Skelter, and while I also adore those games, I think I like DSV even better and would feel better about recommending it to more people. Still searching for anything that can compare

[@ParasaurolophusZ]

I've played a few games on this one and the previous list! Here are two of the most obscure ones I own that I didn't see on either list: Unchained Blades for the PSP and 3(?)DS eshop, with the latter one having great QoL improvements like a map. First person dungeon crawler where everyone is a monster of some kind (dragon, phoenix, golem, etc.). The difficulty can get pretty high, but it has some really unique systems in capturing minions from enemies you run across, and those minions are used for special battles, as well as for powering up your main party's spells. Avalon Code for the DS. Aside from standard action RPG attacks, your main method of interacting with the world is a book. You can use the book to open Code Scan on a person, monster, or object, and that gives you a puzzle grid that you can use to manipulate the target's condition. For example, you can add in the Sickly block to a really strong monster to make it easier to beat, or change a sick girl's fate by gathering Healthy blocks from other places and using it to cure her disease.

[@Grail_Quest]

I love how this channel highlights games with sexy protagonists. Thank you for bringing these gems to our attention. Please keep it up!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

We keep it real here

[@josesavant]

Just added Seven Pirates H to my eShop wish list.

[@blackenedheart9592]

I actually have Seven Pirates H for the Switch lol. I imported it. It has full English and is hilarious 😂.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Haha rock on

[@DVictor23]

Yeah, I'm sure you bought the game just for shits and giggles...

[@RazorBladezX]

Once I found out what you could in- game… 😉😉 sure did

[@Night_Raptor_5991]

🍷🗿👌🏻

[@sdp728]

Using Etrian Odyssey’s battle theme for the opening theme, good taste

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Keepin it classy 🫡

[@obligatoryfate6849]

Had to say the same thing

[@FrogWizard224]

Although I don't have time to play a lot of games anymore I do appreciate obscure games so your content is great.

[@KaiSaeren]

Lost dimensions is also on available on steam. Its quite a good game tho, I do recomend it for sure. I think you should keep going with these videos, some really solid suggestions in comments here, many of the 3ds rpgs were really good but cant really get any attention today from newer gamers so giving them some time and saying they are playable on emulators would likely help. Id also like to give Ar Tonelico series a shout.

[@bugs1yb1ins]

Earned my subscription with the Compile Heart love

[@nazgulsenpai]

A JRPG video with DRPGs as recommendations? Instant sub for my absolute favorite genre. And the Undernaut devs, EXPERIENCE, have a decades long catalog of amazing DRPGs including the Demon Gaze and Stranger of Sword City. They rarely miss.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Haha happy a DRPG fan is watching

[@MJ-oi6ul]

Lost Dimension was AMAZING! It actually got a ps3 or ps4 remake I forget which but I played it there on sale cause I never had a vita and was BLOWN AWAY how they combined mystery/detective stuff with JRPG gameplay

[@VXMasterson]

One thing worth mentioning is Metal Max Xeno was delisted from the PlayStation Store and only Reborn is available for digital purchase.

[@JustTheGems]

I only have very limited experience with Compile Heart, but the bit I've experienced of their work, I've been very pleasantly surprised. I grabbed Dragon Star Varnir on sale awhile ago, and I'm definitely looking forward to giving it a try.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Hope you enjoy it and thanks for watching!

[@Brandon667x1]

Great list, as always! Also, appreciate the Compile Heart love.

[@Shrubbard]

A pretty quirky, sorta obscure JRPG that lives basically rent free in my head to this day is Okage: Shadow King on the PS2, It ended up coming to the ps4 emulator lineup and it's not particularly inspired gameplay wise but man do I love the art style and characters, The script (from memory) is pretty funny, It's overall a pretty pleasant experience albeit flawed, Luckily it doesn't overstay its welcome from what I remember. Overall a pleasant but obscure title.

[@coccaa]

Dude your channel is just so fantastic I too am a huge fan of obscure games and your ability to find obscure yet fun and great games is shocking

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thanks a ton! So happy you are enjoying it!

[@mediaglitch]

I wanted to try Metal Max at some point. Great vid

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thanks a ton man! I’d love to hear your thoughts on it if you give it a go!

[@bender9740]

I got a physical copy of Undernauts on the Switch when it first came out... Still haven't played it, but hearing you praise it I think I might bump it up in my current backlog and give it a go... I am a massive Etrian Odyssey fan so it seemed like it'd be up my alley.

[@archer6979]

I love seven pirates H. Glad I got a physical switch copy before prices go insane on it

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Yeah I think it’s gonna be crazy one day

[@bsr_raven]

I started watching your videos because it seemed like a good place to find one of my favorite ps vita games that I couldn't remember the name of. I love lost dimension.

[@knghomir]

Thank you so much for covering Grim Grimoire. I played it on PS2 but never knew the title of the game at all and I've been looking for it. Now I can sleep peacefully knowing what the title of the game that I've played so much when I was a kid

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

That’s awesome! So happy to hear

[@Kitkat5335]

I was kind of surprised that Ar Tonelico franchise didn't end up on your list. This is a franchise dating back to the PS1 era with the 3rd and last in the series coming out on PS3. It is a peculiar JRPG that has a sort of mixed in date sim aspect to it. Combat dealt with physical attack/defender type and singing support/damage type turn based content. Required you to sync with your singer to increase their damage/support for you and unlock higher tiers when in battle. Outside of battle and via story progress you would build relationship with the singer to unlock their higher tier support/damage potential. Part of it was to dive into their mind space and help them overcome mental barriers and issues and it was just a very unique JRPG series that I haven't really seen replicated since or before.

[@q306005]

I remember seeing gameplay for Ar Tonelico on the PS2 and I was like "That's it. This is where I draw the line. This game is too animu for me. I can't handle it."

[@Kitkat5335]

@@q306005 Yeah, I won't lie the dialogue got pretty cringe at times, but over all the concept of the games were different and actually worked well together. Heard the 3rd game kind messed that up a bit, but the first 2 I enjoyed.

[@yolkling7687]

7th Dragon III Code VFD... Me and my friend Vic played that over Skype together and it was hours and hours of fun I think I have to pick it up again for old time sake That said I think games we like would line up pretty well so I will definitely be trying at least a few of these! Particularly Lost Dimension, Marenian, and Ray Gigant! Excellent list, clean editing, great video

[@femtrooper]

Great recommendations! Lost Dimension is one I would love to try someday!!!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thank you! And just a correction that Lost Dimension is also on PS3, Steam, and PS Vita if that helps you some more in playing it!

[@Phoenixryu]

I recently picked up Undernauts and hope to play it soon. I hope I don't get stuck in this one like I did with Labyrinth of Refrain...

[@Clayton0301]

Dude all of these were great recommendations that I’ve never heard of! I can’t wait to dive into a few of them! Great channel by the way you’re doing a great job!!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@bsinky]

I picked up Lost Dimension on Steam a while back, but haven't gotten around to trying it yet. Really need to give it try, it sounds really cool every time I hear about it!

[@CrashPad56]

thanks for covering some games i've really never heard of and im a jrpg junkie! much appreciated man!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

So happy you enjoyed!

[@Fast_Travel_Gamer]

This video was freaking awesome. Definitely got me subscribed and I can't wait to uncover what else you have on your channel. Keep it up, man!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thank you! Will do!

[@lukedelameter7961]

I’ve heard nothing but good things about Dragon Star Varnir. I’m planning on clearing out some space on my backlog a bit before I get into it though.

[@Raximus3000]

Here is a warning though if you aim to grind at all be prepared to see the bad ending there is a very strict time limit and if you miss it you will be locked to the bad ending, i suggest you make peace with getting the bad first and then use the levels you gained to reach the better ones, because after some point the time limit will disappear.

[@BriahnAznable]

Only played Metal Max/Grim Grimoire/Undernauts on this list and I’d 100% refer Undernauts if you like dungeon crawling at all. Good sense of progression and difficulty of the dungeon navigation scales perfectly. Lots of secrets as well if you’re willing to backtrack, very fun!

[@sincerelypat]

Growlanser? Eternal Eyes? Radiant Historia? Koudelka? Vagrant Story? Wild Arms? idk what's old and unheard of anymore. These were just games I had a kid.

[@detaineepyramid]

New sub. Thank you for sharing your passion. Weird shenanigans for everyone!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thanks for the sub! We keep the shenanigans going here!

[@gregcromie9939]

Another top video mate. Love your work.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thank you so much!

[@chrismanahan1533]

Not really obscure, since it was a bit famous back then, but an amazing jrpg that no one seems to be talking anymore is Eternal Sonata. That game needs to be ported to Switch, and maybe Steam, and maybe overdue for a new sequel/spiritual successor to the game.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Great point, kinda shocking it hasn't been ported yet

[@excadrillo99]

Glad I grabbed 7 Pirates H when it dropped, I honestly enjoyed the mechanics and gameplay. However, it did get me some weird looks playing it on an airplane so I'd say avoid that

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Haha i bet it did

[@saltysprout]

Curse of the Great Curry God was pretty weird. A mystery dungeon style game. Also if we're talking classic PS Vita weird games, Conception II was an oddball for sure.

[@guruthosamarthruin4459]

Lost Dimension is on PC. That's where I played it right around when it first released.

[@franciscobutte]

That EO IV OST in the background. Pure bliss.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

I see you are a gamer of culture as well

[@B1az1ngSuN]

Wow Im loving the art style on Ray Gigant. Always love the obscure recommendations.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Psyched you enjoyed it!

[@hyzenthlay7151]

Quite happy I got Marenian Tavern Story on offor on the eshop just the other day... Not started it, but as someone who enjoys management games, farming games, and of course JRPGs, I'm looking forward to starting it, it looks like a really layed back comfort game.

[@maverickrx8]

Lost Dimension is on Steam tho. My biggest issue I have with the game is the voting system. My first playthrough I could have sworn I had the perfect playthrough but 1 character ended up surviving the voting and I had to fight them instead of getting the true ending.

[@MJ-oi6ul]

I love lists like this cause most of the other ones just show 90% games I know but I come to find new stuff and I barely knew anything in this video lol

[@FriendsAndGamingYT]

Undernaughts has a tank dragon and i'm sold! Seven Pirates H does look fun, reminds me of Disgaea from what i see! Metal Max is definitely one i have to check out, never even heard of it! In fact might go looking for Zeno right now, in fact i just bought it! Lost demisions is another i haven't heard of and ill need to look into! Great to see a video the shows me games I've never heard off!

[@NightFire2100]

I didn't know I needed Seven Pirates H...now I do.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Haha hope you enjoy!

[@ophidianmind333]

I'm a huge fan of Undernauts and it immediately became one of my favorite dungeon crawlers when I played it. The visual aesthetic, gameplay, atmosphere, music, and story are all great and it was a very pleasant surprise to discover that game. Metal Max Xeno Reborn is a game that I have on the Switch, but I haven't yet played it because it is part of my gigantic backlog. GrimGrimoire is excellent, as is everything that Vanillaware creates. I haven't played any of the others in the video, but they all look interesting and I even want to play Seven Pirates H out of curiosity. I have no shame. 😆

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Man Undernauts is just that good! It deserves so much more love from the JRPG fanbase. But yeah I'm beyond stoked for Unicorn Overlord as Vanillaware just is always operating on all cylinders it seems lol. But if ya ever get a chance to try Metal Max I would really like your opinion on it. I know it isn't for everyone but yeah it just hit right for me.

[@DexterMorgan-cr1cl]

i will buy it. Tnx 4 your commentary

[@millasgameroom]

7th Dragon III is so good! Also worth mentioning all 3 previous 7th Dragon games have fan translations so it's possible to play the whole series in English.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

So flippin good! Happy a fan is watching!

[@KisaiTSBard1986]

Dragon Star Varnir was gifted me by a friend and I've been enjoying it. Looks like Lost Dimension is on Steam as well so there's always that.

[@stovetopism]

You reminded me I have a copy of 7 Pirates H that I forgot about. Been debating on getting GrimGrimoire cuz I'm not a fan of rts type games

[@RenegadePandaZ]

I don't know how forgotten or obscure it is, but if you're a Tenchu fan, Kamiwaza: Way of the Thief on Switch and PS4 is an oddly charming jank fest that channels it's PS2 roots hard, and I enjoy it a lot. So many odd games on the NSW, Cotton Fantasy is a fantastic cute-em-up, Kill La Kill iF, even if you don't know the anime, is an awesome arena brawler style fighting game, and just shmups in general are getting a ton of love lately too. Raycrisis/Rayersis Collection, Dodonpachi, Deathsmiles etc. And the Switch still has the best game of all time... Senran Kagura Peach Ball.

[@SEGAblocks]

The MetalMax series is the one I really wanna dive into! As you know, out of any jrpg gamer, your word and suggestions are the ones I trust the most. You know how I love my Mechs! Dragon Star Vanir looks right up my alley! Sort of Arpg meets turnbase with even some tactical elements in there. Interesting! This is exactly why I love your lists! Thanks for making these brother! Stay awesome! #HallowedBeThyGamers

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Dude thank you so much! Truly cannot thank you enough for all the support you’ve shown me over the years 🤘🫡

[@Raximus3000]

[@DieselJT]

Bro, this list is Top notch! Not only do I own every single one of these games, I completely agree with u about all of them! Amazing games and I'm so happy to own all of them physically in my collection. Marenien Tavern Story did have a physical release on PS4 from Limited run games. It will run you about 55 bucks on Ebay if you were Interested in grabbing a copy.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Glad you enjoyed! Also thanks for the reminder it got a ps4 release, I forgot to mention that. Still baffled i skipped the switch

[@shadowmaksim]

Huh, I've played five of these myself. I guess that checks out. I usually joke that I tend to play the more obscure stuff so I probably shouldn't be surprised. Let's see: "Genkai Tokki: Seven Pirates" Funnily, I played this through importing the JP-exclusive PSVita version. I agree with most people that it wasn't that good but I still have a particular fondness for it, probably due to playing it at just the right time. I was getting really burnt out from playing multiple long, in-depth RPGs back-to-back so it being relatively simple was just a nice refresher. It also being in Japanese, I couldn't read any of the dialogue or understand the story but I feel like that ultimately was a positive since whatever I came up with in my head likely was better than what was actually there. Well, that and already liking the artist who worked on the game, Mota, probably helped a bit. "GrimGrimoire" I never had the chance to play the original PS2 release but I did finally play it through the "OnceMore" re-release this past year. I didn't quite know what to expect since it was an RTS, a genre I don't really have much experience with, so it was interesting to go through to say the least. Was nice to finally experience one of Vanillaware's earliest games, even if it was rebalanced. Not to mention see what that one cameo in NIS's "Soul Nomad" was all about. "Dragon Star Vanir" I'm in a unique situation where I'm someone who doesn't absolutely loathe Compile Heart so I actually do like a decent amount of their offerings. Though unlike "Seven Pirates" above, "Varnir" I liked more for being a proper game. It's not perfect obviously and the soft time-limit still was something that stressed me out more than it should but I genuinely liked what was there. If anything, I found myself liking it more than its spiritual predecessor, "Death End re;Quest". CH also did this thing where they had all their mainstay character designers each contribute one or two characters so recognizing which character was designed by which artist was oddly fun for me. "Lost Dimensions" I think this might actually be one of, if not the, first games by Furyu I've ever played. It had a spiritual successor of sorts through "Monark" not too long ago. Pretty much had the same gameplay, with one particular ability getting the main focus and expended a lot more. Still find myself preferring "Lost Dimensions" over it though simply cause I find the setting more intriguing and the gameplay loop has less fluff surrounding it. "Ray Gigant" Geez, this takes me back. This was my first LimitedRunGames purchase, something I woke up early for to order since this was back when they did hard pre-set amount of copies instead of making copies based on preorder amounts. Sold out in like 20 minutes.

[@scoutisabelle]

Dragon Star Varnir is really fun. Cool combat and great characters.

[@pauljackson1944]

It is worth noting that Metal Max Xeno is no longer available for new players on PSN. (Existing owners can still download it I think) Only Metal Max Xeno Rebourn is available now.

[@ViveLeEmpereur]

I actually played Lost Dimension on PC. Great game. I might pick up some others on this list that are on PC or Steam.

[@bkillinm]

Thanks Ren love your videos man

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thanks so much!

[@knightghaleon]

Undernauts has really grown on me. I was in need of another game like SMT4 and it has been pretty good so far.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

It really does hit that itch! Happy you enjoy it!

[@Nobility731]

Good work I like weird games , and hidden Gems keep them coming

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Will do!

[@Hero190909]

When I'm looking over something new to start, I always look at Seven Pirates H but keeping passing it up. Someday though I will, when I really need some comfort food...

[@thiagoprochnow8419]

The video was really good and I don't know if anyone has already mentioned it in the comments, but Lost Dimension is on Steam, it's been on my wishlist for a while, but I want to get it in the future after watching your video, at least it won't be lost forever in the PSvita, but a Switch version would be very welcome, indeed.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the info!

[@John_Alter]

I played Lost Dimension on PS Vita and loved it. Due to the traitors being randomized every playthrough, I was lucky to get the true ending on my second playthrough and was able to keep my best girl (Himeno) and best bro (Agito) on both playthroughs. I found out later that if you have PS Plus you can cloud save before the trial and if you mess up, you can re-download (save scumming) your save from the cloud as long as you have the cloud saves on manual upload and download until you get the traitor since it always auto saves.

[@kaikegeler3656]

Lost Dimension is also on PS3 and steam.Ray Gigant is also on Steam.Have both of them still in my backlog :)

[@arcuslux516]

I love 7th dragon series and I'm glad I'm not the only one.

[@felman87]

Lost Dimension and 7th Dragon Code are legit. I can vouch that both these games are so worth it. As for the others, I've heard good things about Grim Grimoire (and, yes, they all say the beginning is a bit of a slog but your investment is worth it). Xeno was more mixed so I might have to pick that up and judge for myself.

[@MrValgard]

Lost dimension is on steam for cheap :) Same with Ray Gigant, worth pick up

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thanks for letting everyone know!

[@devylia]

Just about to wright that! Fantastic game. Loved it on Vita

[@notimetogame]

That is a solid list of great game I personally really enjoyed Ray Gigant

[@arbellason2094]

Only one I can add if it isn’t already here is Legaia 2 Duel saga, a lot of people like the first one more, but I never played it. The stories don’t interconnect

[@PressStart28]

It might have already been posted but Lost Dimension is also on Steam!

[@13Sunkenrock]

Never heard about Undernauts before but I like the concept. Gonna try it now.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Hope ya enjoy it!

[@christrusch2038]

I agree 7th dragon 3ds is top tier jrpg for the console, the background music is a banger!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thank you! 🤘

[@klocks2543]

Oh man I didn’t realize there were more NA Metal Max games beyond Metal Saga!

[@awesomereviews1561]

For once, I didn’t know most of the games on the video. Good job

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Happy to show ya some variety!

[@janusan89]

I always appreciate seeing Metal Max Xeno and Reborn, as someone who loved both and enjoyed them, even reborn and its flaws, but as far as I know they won't bother making more because, there was a sequel in the works called "Metal Max: Wild West", which would utilize the combat of Reborn - and the whole reason of the remake, as far as I remembe - but was cancelled before Reborn was ever released, essentially killing any potential sequel. On top of that, when Reborn was released, they delisted the original Xeno from consoles (at least on ps4 it was delisted, unsure elsewhere) and now the only way to play it is to have a physical copy. Xeno is definitely the better version, but Reborn did fix a few issues...but also added a ton more. I wished we had more, but I doubt it will ever happen considering what they did. As for a small recommendation, I'd recommend Märchen Forest. It's a cute jrpg with a very simple combat, with the first chapter basically being a small walking simulator, then from it's from chapter 2 that the game actually starts out, and chapter 3 is even bigger and adds more mechanics. I really enjoyed that one, wish more people would try it. Also the Caligula Effect games are pretty good imho, but I can see people being turned off from some of the aspects.

[@AneurynPlays]

>Worries that Seven Pirates H is going to het him hate. > Me: "Could he be one of my people? A man of culture?"

[@Morgana_Diego]

Labyrinth of refrain & Labyrinth of Galleria are 2 obscure hidden gems on the Switch & Playstation. I love Dungeon Crawlers especially first person ones as well.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

I need to check out Galleria! Thanks for the recommendation

[@sumotony]

As with all NISA games there are others as well as Disgeae's. My favourite is La Pucelle Tactics.

[@TheNrat]

We probably won’t get a lost dimension port unless furyu makes a port or something since Sega delisted it cuz it’s one of the may games atlus don’t own and didn’t want pay keep it up. I do appreciate your channel cuz when I seen a thread all jrpg are in high schools and hd2d from lot people saying it made me realize people play things outside square enix and persona .

[@bbrcher]

This is the first time KZbin suggested a video about obscure underrated jrpgs where I had never heard of any of them and they looked interesting. Have you ever played Infinite Space for the DS? It’s pretty weird and obscure as well. Probably one of the games I miss the most from when the DS first came out.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thank you! And I actually totally forgot about Infinite Space! Thanks for that reminder

[@barroerabonatarda7045]

You should check Kowloon High-School Chronicle. A very niche dungeon crawler that is quite unique and should definitely get more love.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thanks for the recommendation! Will do

[@othergrimm6592]

I loved Lost Dimension. Definitely my favorite of this list (of the ones I've played, which admittedly, isn't many).

[@TheGreaterGrog]

7th Dragon was pretty good for an approachable dungeon crawler.

[@thegeneralmitch]

pretty sure most if not all these games (not 7th dragon sadly) are on steam, dont think you mentioned that but its good to know.

[@Simoss13]

Interesting list. I was wondering if you have tried Gravity Rush 1/2? Great games with a somewhat a unique story but it's the games mechanics that make it shine

[@mzxa9988]

GR is amazing sad that studio Japan is no more

[@jogymogy3691]

Yep, GR was one kind of a series. Insane Soundtrack too.

[@Swaytekk]

For anyone seeing this comment, both 7th Dragon 2020 and 7th Dragon 2020 II are both fully translated for the PSP. I have played them both and are amazing Edit: both game are fan translating

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Should prolly note those are fan translations. Not everyone knows how to set those up.

[@Jack-nj9pi]

Did you make a video on metal max? Read it was a bleak game and i remember playing the ps2 one that lost me cause it was pretty vast with not alot of instructions haha lost dimension is extremely underrated i wish it got ported to the ps4 as my ps3 kicked the bucket was so doing both playthroughs. As for games that need more love and attention DS: A witches tale, dark spire, steal princess, and contact Psp: black rock shooter, popolocrois, and monster kingdom jewel summoner Ps3/360: enchanted arms and folklore Rarely hear anybody talk about these haha

Dude, I have Lost Dimension & Ray Gigant on Steam... I have played 7th dragon 2020 & 7th dragon 2020-II on PSP, so I really wish they ported all the 7th Dragon games to steam so I can enjoy them again on a bigger screen, and play all the ones I wasn't able to play before. Also, may I interest you in Unchained Blades. Blazing Souls: Accelate, Fate/Extra, Growlanser IV: Wayfarer of Time and Wild Arms XF? (I think you mentioned XF on your other video, but just in case)

I remember Metal Max Xeno most for how Eric Langdon JRPG slags on it for being so hard that even with grinding he could not defeat the first boss. Maybe he's missing something though? Ray Gigant's still artwork reminds me of SMT IV in a good way. Which of these would you consider to have the best characters/story?

I definitely need to play 7 Pirate H...for scientific reasons.

Marenian Tavern Story got a PS4 physical as well, but I'm waiting on the switch version

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

So hopeful it gets a switch physical too

[@zachholstine]

Heard you mention death end request already but project x zone and the langrisser series both come to mind here as well

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Great recommendations! Thanks!

7th Dragon III Code VFD. I pre-ordered that. At the time though I found the game to be too difficult and gave up on it. lol

Probably the saddest part of all of these games is that a lot of them are, for some reason or another, locked to a single platform and likely didn't do well enough to warrant porting them. If they could be brought a more modern platform, or even something like Steam or Epic Games, they could at least have a chance at further success.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

I agree, they need to be accessible!

[@andredevarie1]

Also Lost Dimension is available on PS3 and Steam!

[@uchenna8885]

lost dimension is also on steam, almost all of the games here are on steam

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Wow thanks I had no idea

[@uchenna8885]

@@HallowedBeThyGame no problem I was thinking ppl should know if they want to give it a try
