Thanks for this!

[@worri3db3ar]

Nice video but I have only question do they have a physical version...cos eventually the store will be shutdown and you can't go back download again.

[@BacklogBattle]

@@worri3db3ar that’s usually on a case by case basis, so I can’t answer this properly. That said, thus far, every single digital game I’ve bought has been available to download even if the ability to purchase new games aren’t available. This is true for systems all the way back to the Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii, and especially true for PC.

[@worri3db3ar]

@@BacklogBattle I thought I'd just highlight it. Still it's a great list cos I didn't realise atelier Sophie 2 has released already.

nc list, and channel (come from gaming shelf)

[@samfrito]

It pleases me to get a reminder of not only why I love modern JRPGs, but also the fine creators who give them so much appeal before I buy them (and they end up in my backlog). Thanks for another excellent video with some very notable friends across YT. Excellent job!

[@paulofsurrey4216]

Good to see Soul Hackers 2 being shown some love. I had a look at how recent revisions have altered the game and having the "dash" button does help you get through dungeons quicker.

[@davidvinc]

Thank you so much for having on board for this Alex, it was a treat!

[@BacklogBattle]

Likewise! Thank you for indulging in my request! Was a pleasure collaborating with you!

[@TheGamingShelf]

Thanks for having me Alex! I forgot about some of the games on this list so it was a nice reminder.

[@BacklogBattle]

Glad to hear this served as a good reminder! Thanks for being a part of it!

[@MrDarksol]

I'm just gonna chime in a little bit because I have to get going in a while but can I just say that I'm happy that you basically put soul hackers 2 in its own little category and not just lump it with persona and SMT? It just makes me feel giddy on the inside because it proves that not everyone will agree with the consensus of oh it has a lot of the same demons and there's some mechanics here that's just like persona or just like SMT. Either way, this was a soild list of RPGs!

[@GreggyAck]

I only got into JRPGs quite recently and you’ve helped me grab some bangers, so thank you!

Thank you! I love collaborating with folks as well, so I’m happy this video made you smile! Re: JRPG Jungle, I’ve actually tried to collab with her for the past three years. Unfortunately, she’s just too busy to do something like that, which is a shame because I’m such a fan of her work too! I won’t stop trying though, but thank you for bringing her up! Maybe I’ll bring up your comment to help convince her to join up in a future collab!

[@PewPew_McPewster]

It's unironically been a great fucking year for JRPGs, we got a new Xenoblade Chronicles AND a new Star Ocean; I cannot stress how fucking insane this is. In my mind these are BIG players with a BIG legacy so for both to churn out new entries that are well-regarded is a major win for JRPGs in 2022.

[@BacklogBattle]

And to think, heading into the year, we didn’t know when or what half of these games were! Xenoblade was literally announced in Q1 and released merely a few months later!

[@VidiverseExplorer]

Definitely didn't forget Tactics Ogre Reborn, been eyeballin it for several months leading to its release, and did not disappoint.

[@InMaTeofDeath]

Any other madmen do the Golden Path on Triangle strategy their first run? I had done enough mock battles to make everyone vote how I wanted so that was never an issue. However those final few battles you have in taking that path are absolutely nuts when it comes to the difficulty spike since you don't have all the extra characters from NG+.

[@BacklogBattle]

I commend you big time! I still have nightmares of that Wolffort fight where you have the option to burn down the houses!

[@femtrooper]

Loved this video! What a year! Triangle Strategy has definitely been a highlight for me and I can’t wait to check out Xenoblade Chronicles 3 soon!

[@JohnDL212]

What an amazing run down. The only bad part was I now have about 8 games sitting in my steam shopping cart. LOL ... It's scary that so many good games come out and are so easily overlooked these days. Thanks for the quality content as usual.

That is quite the list of interesting games, I can vouch for Soul Hackers 2, Live-A-Live, Triangle Strategy, Trails from Zero, Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and Persona 5 Royal being excellent games and I would like to play all of the others. There really have been a lot of great JRPGs released this year and I am eager to play all of them. It's just a matter of having the funds to afford them and the time to play them. Even if it takes me a long time to play all of this year's great JRPGs, I still plan on doing it eventually.

[@kongdoo1226]

From Zero, P5R or Cold steel?

Triangle Strategy is my game of the year Especially for its mature and detailed story and the music My only regret is a lack of cinematics and artwork

[@HybridAngelZero]

This year has been spoiling us RPG fans, it feels like xD Of course, Xenoblade 3, Star Ocean The Divine Force and Atelier Sophie 2 get a huge stamp of recommendation from me! I've been loving the new Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, but I don't think anyone needs me to tell them Pokemon exists xD A lot of these are definitely gonna find a place on my personal wishlist (or already had one)

Thanks guys ill get ys origin and persona 4

[@NintendanGX]

I'm amazed I've been able to play at least 4 of the games on this list. Xenoblade 3 is definitely the highlight for me, and my game of the year. Absolute masterpiece! Another JRPG this year that deserves some attention is Undernauts: Labyrinth of Yomi. It's a dungeon-crawler with an insanely-customisable party, and a dark, gritty atmosphere. Made by the same team behind the Spirit Hunter games, so it's very much in that same style.

[@kr1me2000]

Xenoblade 3 was a bad game compared to the first 2 :(

[@NintendanGX]

@@kr1me2000 Not even remotely accurate. It's on-par with the first as one of Nintendo's best games. Xenoblade 2, on the other hand, is easily the worst game in the franchise, and a lazy, cynical product with none of what makes Xenoblade fun or engaging in it. They literally made a tedious, poorly-written shounen/ecchi game with gatcha and waiting mechanics, and slapped the Xenoblade name on the front cover. It's the most insulting and unnecessary remake I've ever played, and Torna shows just what the game should've been. Xenoblade 3, on the other hand, addresses every problem with 2, while salvaging all its good ideas and improving upon them to give us a game with the quality standards of 1, a combat system that surpasses 2 and even Torna, and the best side-content since Xenoblade X.

[@kr1me2000]

@@NintendanGX Trust me i bought it, its very bad.

[@sonicmania9993]

@@kr1me2000 Dude, there are literally several longtime JRPG fans in these comments for whom Xenoblade 3 was their GOTY. It also got almost universal praise from critics, which is unusual for a JRPG. If it's not a style of game that is fun for you -- maybe you didn't like the story, or the characters, or the combat -- that's understandable. Not every game is made for every gamer.

[@frozenrobot5035]

not really a "Japanese" rpg but everyone should try Lost Eidolons. It is a tactical rpg which I would describe as a 3D realistic version of Fire Emblems. The gameplay is a bit dull (albeit maybe because of me being used to more complexed RPGs) but the story and characters are great. The story and characters was enough for me to finish the game despite the gameplay being simple. The voice acting was also awesome!

Great list. I have lots of ideas for my next rpg now. I recently put 130 hours into persona on switch (haven't actually finished my first playthrough yet) and about 70 hours into xenoblade 3 (also not finished). Both are amazing games. I played the triangle strategy demo a while back and fire emblem three hopes demo as well and I look forward to eventually starting them soon as well. I wanted to ignore harvestella, but it honestly seems pretty fun so I might have to give it another look. Really it's a good year to be a square enix fan though so thanks for the recommendations guys.

[@kotw1300]

We haven’t seen this many fantastic rpgs since the SNES era. Every game on this list is great, and that’s just this year. In the first 2 months of next year we’re already getting Fire Emblem, One Piece and Octopath 2. On a side note, I’d love to see the GBA Golden Sun games get an Octopath style hd upgrade.

[@KingBatiatus]

A lot of these games look good but every time I checked a title out on Switch or Steam, they're usually in the AAA-price range. I was hoping to see some cheaper options that retailed at $30-40 and then pick them up on sale at sub-$20.

[@sonicmania9993]

JRPGs tend to be an expensive genre ($50-60, and sometimes with DLC tacked on) since the fanbase is so devoted -- but some of these games will go on sale pretty soon. In the price-range you mentioned, I highly reconmmend Chained Echoes ($25), a great homage to old-school 2D JRPGs, with a surprisingly affecting story.

[@TheNerd]

Persona 5 Royal: Best jRPG ever made. There are different games with different gameplay mechanics that you personally may like more, but there is no game that blends music, artstyle, a story with a deep meaning and fun combat as good as this one. And yes "I have no time and want to rush threw everything, FASTER FASTER FASTER" gamers may dislike the dialogue, but if you play games to finish them, RPG is not your Genre anyway. If you ask me, "rushing threw the game" goes against everything that PC / Console Videogames want to be. An experience, not and ending.

[@riffcrypt8438]

Disagree. I'm a pretty big fan of SMT and the way P5R aggressively disrespects your time is horrible. I don't want to rush through games (if they're good at least) but I also don't want there to be 10 lines of dialogue for every action that happens on screen endlessly and needlessly. It's the most flawlessly polished turd in the history of the genre. Beautiful audio and visuals with piss-poor writing that anyone that values their time will resent.

[@BacklogBattle]

I could’ve easily omitted it from the list, but I’d argue that Persona coming to other platforms outside of PlayStation is as big of an event as any release of the games mentioned. Also, if you really count the games, the list actually has more than 20 games 😉

[@grodon909]

[@anatawakimochiwarui]

The fact fire emblem three houses only available on switch really makes me angry, why limit such a good game to only certain console ffs

[@peter_parkour]

Is Elden Ring technically a JRPG?

[@BacklogBattle]

It is not, by virtue of the fact that it is categorized as a Souls-like. JRPGs have very specific types of gameplay.

[@Zerberos22]

[@riffcrypt8438]

Essential info to not be severely disappointed by P5R; The ratio of reading/cutscenes/dialogue selection/visual novel to gameplay is about 10 to 1. The game is also 100 hours long with C tier writing. Imo you'll always be better off enjoying a half dozen other titles with that time. Hardcore overrated weeb stuff. If I sound salty, I am, I like the SMT games and have been hearing hype about P5 for years.
