15 Upcoming JRPGs To Look Out For!

[@MrTTar]

Baten Kaitos does have a physical release - albeit seems to be skipping North America. However as the Switch is region free, you can just import either the Asian English or UK/Australian PAL versions.

[@nightmarishcompositions4536]

I took a several year break away from jrpgs because I got burnt out on them but now I'm back and really enjoying the genre again. Really appreciate this list.

[@Bartimaeus9064]

I did something really similar but my flame was reignited with some retro RPGs like Lunar and 2D Pokémon (even if it’s not really a JRPG).

[@ivanbluecool]

Fate samurai looks fun. It's probably going to be a semi dynasty warrior dark soul game but I like when you can customize weapons

[@ThatFateGuy69]

I wouldn't dark soul game it More like dystany warrior game with action rpg elements+nioh like boss.

[@sevarogue7903]

It's like mid 2000's again! JRPGs are keep rolling and rolling and couldn't be more happy.🤗

[@MiamiSunrise]

Now thats a list of greatness if I've ever seen one. Every one of those games is going to be worth picking up imo. The fact it doesnt even count several others on the horizon is impressive. We are swimming in JRPG lately and thats a good thing. I do plan on picking up a physical or LE for all of these (including going to Play Asia if I have to....looking at you Baton Kaitos). Bank account is gonna be as empty as the Sahara desert :-0 (Also cant wait for more info on Metaphor)

[@vagabundorkchaosmagick-use2898]

1. Fate Samurai Remnant 2. Granblue Fantasy Relink 3. Decapolice 4. Cry Machina 5. Star Ocean 2 R 6. Mario RPG Remake 7. Disgaea 7 8. Nayuta 9. Baten Kaitos 1&2 remaster 10. Infinity Strash 11. Eiyuden Chronicle 12. Suikoden 1&2 remaster 13. Monochrome Mobius 14. Persona 5 Tactica 15. Persona 3 Reload

[@SuperOtakuKyo]

Honestly with the more info that has come out about P3 Reload, they are bringing back a lot of the features and story content from FES, the only real thing missing is The Answer.

[@japandi780]

Man my wallet is crying. What a time to be a JRPG fan though, my backlog is growing faster than I can finish these gems!

[@partyjams]

I would like to say Level 5 said their games will be at the Tokyo Game Show. So I'm expecting release dates at TGS. Personally excited for Fantasy Life i.

[@phoenixxxashez]

I love the fact that Star Ocean games always release around my birthday. I never have to pay for them because I get them as gifts.

[@RamenBlox]

Erik : New games coming out! So first we have Fate Sam- Me : Say no more. Buying.

[@starknightlumina8680]

For me, Ys X: Nordics, Star Ocean: The Second Story R, DecaPolice, and CryMachina are my most anticipated. There are many that I'm interested in beyond that as well; Legend of Nayuta, Persona 3 Reload and Persona 5 Tactica, GranBlue Fantasy: Relink, and Infinity Strash: Adventure of Dai being the ones I'll probably pick up. Looking forward to a lot of action RPGs, it seems.

[@guruthosamarthruin4459]

Metaphor Refantazio is also supposed to be next year (though I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they pushed it back to 2025).

[@lokasocba]

This. I can't believe it didn't got even a mention. It was the most interesting announcement this year for me.

[@LaMereACaniche]

@@lokasocba Same, it's the game I'm most looking forward to.

[@veespa_]

not mentioned, but I’m excited for Eternights… still wanting Trails in the Sky and Cold Steel 1 & 2 to come to Switch!

[@cadenfrankovich2694]

Eternights is one of my most anticipated games I’ve had in years.

[@bigt4135]

How are those games not on the switch yet?

[@hitmangfx7162]

I'm actually shocked the DQ3 2DHD remake isn't chugging along a bit faster. I'm so looking forward to the Eiyuden vs Suikoden Remake shootout. I guess competition really does make everyone level up. Just unfortunate that Suikoden as a franchise doesn't seem to be in a position to continue.

[@shrimp5093]

Baten Kaitos is getting a European release, I pre-ordered it and it should arrive September 19, so if you can't find a release in your region and they won't make one, grab the European physical release!

[@justmkipvme]

Hell yeah! You have my respects for using Valkyrie's Drive soundtrack in this video right from the start!!!)))

[@suxdonti]

Man you really became my most watched KZbinr in the span of 2 months. W videos 👏

[@ChemicalTen]

I'm hyped for granblue & starocean. Fate looks interesting, had no idea about it but loved the show. Mario rpg too. Damn it's a good rpg season.

[@7Ronin7]

Those three games are at the top of my list also. I would definitely say keep an eye on Eiyuden Chronicles too. That game has a ton of potential and the writing is gonna put many other jrpgs to shame 💯

[@forte609]

GBF gacha game is actually available globally. It is one of the most accessible ones due to it being mobile and the content is actually synched with Japan.

[@JustAGuyplayingGames_]

Granblue and cry machina are the ones that i'm excited for. I love nier automata and baton kaitos!

[@TimSedai]

Anyone watching this video not playing Sea of Stars should probably rectify that problem it's incredible

[@SylverZ]

I’m happy that so much promising RPG are going to be released! Currently looking forward for Infinity Strash as a Dai’s fan 😇

[@maskedbadass6802]

From what I read it sounds like Disgaea 6 was like a "practice" game for the developers to prepare to make Disgaea 7 as they have taken elements and refined them. For example, auto-battle was introduced in 6 as a new very divisive game mechanic that feels like it betrays the spirit of the game to some but feels like a solution to grinding to others. Disgaea 7 seems to be finding a happy medium where you can only auto battle a stage after winning a fight legitimately at least once.

[@slumberpumpkin4002]

This video was a big help, with so many game releases coming out it was nice getting a condensed list for the JRPG genre

[@DonDezeyTeachesVG]

Erik, I was happy to know what if my favorite RPGs was getting a remake, but after playing Star Ocean demo, it’s going to blow us all out of the water! Absolutely beautiful! The guy who was in charge of the demo, says it stays true to the game but enhances aspects which make the hame even better! The classic feel but with beautiful graphics remain intact! Since eiyuden is delayed to next year, this game is easily my most anticipated game for the rest of the year

[@atomictar]

I definetly want to get Deca Police!

[@alecciarosewater7438]

Dream Tactics, Kingsvein, Relic Space, Shattered Heaven, Orion's End

[@Zack_Wolph]

There're very many good RPGs this year man, I'll have to do some extra jobs to pay for it 😅

[@Gremalkin1979]

If you have not played star ocean the second story, get it when it comes out. A quirky gem of a game and in my top 5 psx rpgs.

[@mickmars8319]

There's also a remaster, I think, coming these days: Rhapsody Marl Kingdom Chronicles, by NIS America.

[@george_5677]

Persona 3 Remake will be on "Switch 2", mark my words

[@therealjaystone2344]

Either that or the definitive version

[@__BlacklotuS__]

For sure

[@apcrvg123]

There is a remake of the Dai anime that finishes the story. If you are still interested, you May wanna check it out

[@Truth-Justice-Freedom]

OLD Switch really need to go! We need Switch 2 NOW!!

[@BBallRambling]

P3 reloaded is the most hyped I have been in a long while

[@finnthehuman9033]

"Except the switch" hurts 🙃

[@Itsaudweeb]

Really enjoyed the video! Now to add most of these games to the backlog until the hype makes me want to play them sooner 😆.

[@suntzu4607]

I just want to let you guys know that Eternights will release on the 12th. It's an action rpg with a bit of dating sim, like Persona but action. Looks interesting tbh and I already pre-ordered it on Steam.

[@eduardogaxiola3907]

Maybe getting: Eiyuden Chronicles, Suikoden remaster, Star Ocean remaster Definitely getting: Deca Police, Mario RPG, P5 Tactica, Dragon Quest Dai. Little surprised you didn't mention the more recent Dragon Quest Dai anime which the game is based off. In any case, really good video, man!

[@7Ronin7]

Don't sleep on Granblue Fantasy. Definitely keep an eye on that one and you may be pleasantly surprised. Also, good list.

[@eduardogaxiola3907]

@@7Ronin7 oh, right. That caught my eye when I saw the collectors edition. I wasn’t expecting to see Bahamut in there

[@7Ronin7]

@@eduardogaxiola3907 Yep. I've been playing the browser game for several years now and Bahamut is the first summon you get at the beginning of the game. Many other awesome summons as well, so I definitely believe this would right up your alley 💯

[@michaelriga6431]

This year and next year lots of big RPGs. Also new expansion to Tales of Arise, probably with a new Tales of game coming out next year too. We still have the juggernaut in FF7 coming out as well. I'm happy I've got a year plus of RPGs coming out in the next 6 months.

[@lordsparda0976]

Subscribed just cause of Fate/Extra Record mentioned.

[@Luckysonofagun1]

Ur almost at 100k🎉 And I would like you to know that I have been here since 13k subs!

[@JK-pw4ti]

This was very informative. Thanks. I didn't know about Monochrome Mobius, so I guess I should get that. I've been super-hyped for Eiyuuden ever since I first heard about it, but I don't mind waiting until next year. Star Ocean 2 Remake is going to take up a ton of my time.

[@TheGeekPunkGamer]

Star Ocean: The Second Story R, Super Mario RPG Remake, the Nayuta game looks interesting, and Infinity Strash. Also, hoping for more info on Ys 10, Dragon Quest 3 2D-HD remake and Dragon Quest 12.

i finished cry star and would love cry machina the art style is so good

[@demodoki1319]

I am so looking forward to so many games that are coming up. I had to make the hard choice to decide which game to pre-order with Granblue Fantasy Relink or Persona 3 Reload but I'll probably get both lol. On top of that I can't wait to try Nayuta and, when it comes out, Fantasy Life i !!!!

[@dyttom8607]

Regarding Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes, there's HD footage around youtube now! It was uploaded some weeks ago

[@Acidrain82]

Granblue relink was first announced in August 2016

[@iforgot6088]

I've gotta be honest, the Suikoden remaster clips you've used in this video look like RPG Maker games I see on the mobile app store.

[@nekotranslates]

I can confirm that "Nayuta Boundless Trails" has already been out for a while, at least a year if I recall But regardless, would recommend if you not played it yet

[@RepelGames]

Great video but I am sad there is no mentioning of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Dragon Quest Monster: The Dark Prince and Rune Factory 3 Special

[@chariothe9013]

Crymachina releases on my birthday, I'll be playing it on steamdeck!

[@michellewilliams3782]

You should check out Wandering Sword and Small Saga, both are coming out soon ish and look great.

[@blackdragongrief]

I was thinking the same thing about Wandering Sword, surprisingly a couple of the people I've watched with videos like this recently have missed it even though it seems right up their alleys. Had to look into Small Saga and it looks like a fun time too, definitely both good suggestions.

[@carlosaugusto9821]

Have you thought of talking about rpgs that have a slow or bland or even straight up bad start, but get very good later? And/or rpgs that have a great start but get worse and disappointing later? Not sure how much spoiler-free its better to go in these kind of videos, but anyways its always up to you.

[@sbstn451]

Not sure if this was mentioned here before but Sword of Convallaria could be another hot title for your list. Anyways thanks a lot for the video!

[@Senshi00]

It’s a mobile gacha game

[@ssjdennis6058]

Baiten Kratos is physically in Europe for sure. I will confess not many games on your list excite me. Star Ocean and Super Mario RPG do though. Guess I can't wait for the new Ys game.

[@dreamcaster8866]

No love for Metaphor: Re Fantazio?

[@1Tekkaman]

Pity they're not likely to give us a better ending for Persona 3.

[@vincere_valens]

Missing re fantazio, ff7 rebirth

[@Shiver_Bane]

Star Ocean and Persona 3 are my go to! And straight for the throat if the Persona 3 skips out on the PSPs female protagonist, losing FES is crappy enough.

[@whitewolf3051]

When Gran Blue Fantasy Relink in development, was *expecting* a Switch release. It's a bummer there's *no* Switch release...yet. Hope there might be down the line. *Wish* that Dragon Quest Adventures of Dai got a Western physical release, rather than being limited to Asian physical.

[@Radio_CosmicRay]

*Getting both* But honestly looking more forward to metaphor re fantazio compared to p3 remake

[@PriscentSnow]

What’s the game that was playing at the outro?

[@johnjsal]

Seriously, though, what is Atlus thinking with TWO Persona 3 remakes in the same year, and neither the definitive version????

[@carlosaugusto9821]

Showing that people can talk bad about the current remaster/remake culture, but when there are good projects people get all on their knees about them

[@nathanielwazhere]

How has Metaphor refantize not made this list

[@marvin8559]

Re-link is the complete opposite of an open world game and the devs were clear in that. It's going to be curated areas that you're placed in for missions and the story. Few places to roam like you main hub but don't want people expecting the wrong thing.

[@poderx]

The anime of Dragon Quest: ADVENTURE OF DAI has been finished at last this years...and it was AMAZING!!!!!! In Mexico it was Fly, not Dai... Jejejeje
