So many great games have been revealed so far! I'm really excited for what waits us in the near future!

[@kermitwithamustache3885]

Love your positivity, keep up with the good content

[@marciocintra2988]

Some say Elden Ring is not a JRPG, it's a Souls-like. But maybe this is just a subgenre of JRPG actually.

[@ThomasFogle]

I love that Yakuza and persona are both here as I am playing through both of these series for the first time this year as a part of my own backlog journey. I can not wait to start the persona series but I am currently in the middle of the Yakuza series. I bought like a dragon and infinite wealth and wanted to get through all of the other games in order before starting those two. I am currently on Yakuza 5 Remastered and I started with Yakuza 0.

[@alenaphoenix]

Idk if I'd call Dragon's Dogma or Elden Ring a JRPG despite them being from Japan

[@ibra9025]

Same there are not jrpg to me

[@joshuaknox2724]

because they aren't "jrpg" only weebs use that, adding japan doesn't make it a different genre it's just RPG across the board even japanese devs don't like the term@@ibra9025

[@Blaze1101]

They absolutely are not jrpgs in my opinion

[@josephlinza1610]

Love the list! Shout out to YS X Nordics getting it's western release this fall.

[@Jylstin]

I don’t think i have loved and feel burnt out with a year like 2024 Ever!

[@musicmonsterman8395]

Is granblue worth a buy? I have monster hunter world installed on the pc and never fully beat it. Should I start with that?

[@user-sf6cm5cy2b]

Wow!

[@user-sf6cm5cy2b]

Indeed.

[@supachaitengtakul5183]

Persona 6 revealed this year maybe?

[@FredMaverik]

hell no. U new? Cus that one is gonna take a while.

[@Zephhi]

No Eiyuden Chronicle?

[@diegoarmando5489]

Infinite Wealth is one of the greatest games ever made.

[@JackTheBunny]

I can't stop pooping 🎉

[@EriesAston]

I don't count Drsgons Dogma 2 as a JRPG, it just feels completely different

[@calvinmatthews1527]

I posted something like this on Reddit. 2024: Year of the RPGs? I knew wasn't the only one feeling it.

[@FredMaverik]

you need to go back

[@saeefa]

I love my jrpgs but im broke and unemployed, hopefully i get a job soon 😭

[@Fluffychoupikkos]

I am not the biggest J person, I have played nino Kuni 2, all the souls Bloodborne elden ring, FF15 and a bunch of others that I can even remember, but I am dying! Just freaking dying to play dragon's dogma 2, I mean it ain't elder scrolls bro, but it is pretty close.

[@bioboost12]

I'm sorry but the game play in dragon's dogma 2 .looks far better than elder scrolls. The freedom and atmosphere in elder scrolls Is what makes it good but the game play Really is not that deep. There are far more interactions you can do in dd 2 regarding combat.

[@Fluffychoupikkos]

@@bioboost12 I am not doubting that, Capcom is an excellent studio and I am sure they can make a superb game and ever better than elder scrolls. It's just that Skyrim was my favourite game for years and I have a personal love for Bethesdas games in general, it's just a personal preference thing more than anything else.

[@nicholaszancy4571]

Should I give infinite wealth a chance? Probz should wait for a sale

[@terrypayne8658]

If you got the cash and you like the genre you should get into yakuza asap

[@sneaky5141]

game pass.

[@terrypayne8658]

@@sneaky5141 yessir. The judgement games are great too and they are on plus. Not sure about gp

[@sneaky5141]

@@terrypayne8658 i dont think so, theyre on xbox i believe but not game pass

[@Zephhi]

Have you played the rest of the series? If not don't even consider it until you do

[@sneaky5141]

atlus and sega being supported so heavily by game pass rn are doing wonders getting westerners into JRPGs without the words final fantasy or pokemon attached to the title

[@dolcespiano]

Sadly infinite wealth clears all other games mentioned

[@Dazza768]

If it wasn’t for Japanese developers we would barely have any decent single players out. Western developers are in a absolute mess atm

[@EriesAston]

"Most people forget that Elden Ring is a JRPG" Excuse me, WHAT? I'm sorry I wasted time on your video, you're one of those people. You don't even know what a JRPG is, that's very sad

[@joshuaknox2724]

"jaaayaarpeeeegeeeee" were you trying to be funny saying jrpgs over and over again or was it unintentional, because that was annoying lol

[@Blaze1101]

It was excessive wasn’t it 😂
