[@justdust9089]

i agree with all this, except eiyuden. for me it was shallow and boring, and could not capture the charm of suiko1 and 2 or even 5. Heck even 3 and 4 i consider better than eiyuden. The main cast was developed so poorly, compared to even rising. and the extra characters do not even deserve mention.

Unicorn Overload is practically built for the PC audience, where most western strategy gamers reside. You can tell it'd really work well with a mouse.

Unicorn Overlord is easy to explain, it's Ogre Battle + FF12's Gambits.

This is one of the best games of the year.

[@gregeichler5237]

I loved Rebirth, it was such an incredible experience. I especially love how they portrayed Cloud in part 2, his darkness was as palpable and captivating as it was maniacally hilarious. I didn’t find Metaphor to be even a little bit fun. It’s a long, drawn out experience with tedious gameplay, predictable story, combat that’s way too easy, and no great characters. So many loading screens, busy menus that are style over substance… I love FFV, so I was hoping they would at least have a compelling class system, but I didn’t enjoy it at all. I’m not a fan of the Pokémon-style “class level up” mechanic, I would much prefer all classes to be viable like in FFV.

[@krispybowgod9656]

I know things are subjective but literally everything you said about metaphor is ridiculous. It had plenty of good characters, the combat can be extremely hard depending on the difficulty you choose. Even medium difficulty had plenty of challenge and you have to be strategic with your class building. The menus are absolutely gorgeous and easy to navigate. The story was a good reminder that racism is still alive and well. Rebirth was also a good game but talk about long drawn out experience…. Game was filled with open world ubisoft style slop

[@kclink1579]

Like a Dragon, FF7 Rebirth and Beyond Galaxyland are my 3 favourite RPG's this year.

[@Flaris]

This was a good year. Lot of good games. Think it's good to recognize ones like Granblue that came out much earlier in the year and could easily be lost amidst all the heavy hitters later in the year. That game was fun, had a good story, and had so many characters to enjoy getting a feel for. That was pure excellence. Visions of Mana was great. That's a beautiful game and such a nice continuation for the franchise. Sucks the studio that made it how things went. But they put together an excellent game. Just good looking and pure mana. Best one though may have come near the end. Metaphor ReFantazio is freaking amazing. They took all the lessons they learned in making the Persona games and put together this awesome game. The Archetype concept works so well and lets you be incredibly flexible in how you approach things. Just a beautiful game that tells a solid story. Some good twists in there that I didn't expect, but had me engaged with it. Also, why are we still pretending that FF7R is a remake? Yeah, it's not exactly a 1:1 remake...because it's a sequel! In-universe the original happened and this story is the consequence of time travel. There's a lot of quality put into the game. But let's just take it for what it is. It's not a remake!

[@danyygaming8544]

Damn, how can i get sooo many hours in my life to even play these, and i LOVE JRPGs... It's rough... The ones i played and LOVED: Rebirth and Persona 3. I still did buy Daybreak (Played everything till Reverie), YS 10, Unicorn Overlord and Metaphor Re:Fantasio. I am thinking of buying Eyuden Chronicles and Romancing saga 2 for my PS5, still have my doubts for SMT 5 tho... Another game that i absolutly loved this year was Stellar Blade even tho it's not an JRPG, it's still an amazing game!

[@JeannieLove]

I wasn't sold on Visions of Mana until I saw the thick thighed squirrel lady. Unicorn Overlord I also had to see more gameplay. But Monster Hunter and other things come first.

[@PedroSteckecilo]

There is one major flaw with Metaphor, that being that you can't change classes in combat, so a lot of times you can end up with a completely worthless party line up and not be able to do anything but reload your game. The game likes to mess with you too, it'll have dungeons full of enemies weak to specific abilities and then have surprise enemies pop up that will hit all of your weaknesses and be immune to all of your attacks. Not a deal breaker but man does it kill my play momentum sometimes.

[@JM-vl3cy]

You’re probably building your team wrong then. The game gives you more than enough customization to make a team that can both handle most situations AND prepare for specific enemies. For exemple if you know the boss of the area or the most common ennemy is weak to fire, you don’t need everyone to do fire attacks. 1 or 2 is enough and you can dedicate characters to handle a variety of other situations with inherited skills. Also don’t forget you can use items that deal elemental damage, they proc the « extra turns » too and are super cheap to buy. Always have like 10 of each in your inventory and you’ll be ready to handle these unexpected encounters.

[@DG-nv4pf]

Granblue has amazing combat, sadly the bosses happen to be reskins with very few changes. And grinding the best weapons is annoying and multiplayer is only mission base

[@calvinmatthews1527]

Pretty great list man. Whereas Atlus keeps hitting the high notes with gems like Metaphor, Bandai Namco is still obsessed with pumping all these underwhelming to say the least licensed RPGs.

- unicorn overlord is one of my top 5 RPG games ever. i started playing the demo. i couldnt stop playing it. i took instantly 3 days off of work to continue playing. i was so addicted. didnt have this feeling since i play DQ11. even there the addiction wasnt nearly as bad as here. i played it on a normal difficulty because i am not familiar with those games. but i instantly played a second time because i wanted to test my limits on the highest difficulty and i play it like 160 hours in both playthroughs combined. - for visions of mana. it is not as good as trails of mana. and the story is kinda schizo. but overall i like the game. been a huge mana fan since i was young. people should check out the demo - i dont know why people think ff7 remake had a good combat? it was okey, but i wouldnt call it good if the dodge button is cosmetic. you have to block because dodge is unreliable. the only time dodge felt useful was against rufus. so i hope they improved on it. cant wait to play it when it comes to steam.

ff7 Rebirth gameplay wise: Fantastic Story wise for the OG players: garbage

[@DevilHunter1994]

I'm an OG player, and I loved about 95% of what they did with the story. It was a mostly faithful retelling of the story of the original game's disc 1, that expanded on the story, lore, and characters in some really interesting ways. I'm waiting until part 3 to make any final judgements on that last 5%, as my feelings will largely depend on how part 3 wraps things up. The only part of my playthrough that I felt was genuinely bad was Shinra Manor...That part sucked. Everything else surpassed all my expectations.

[@alanescobedo4141]

I feel exactly the same as the previous comment, xd. For me, most of the game was the best adventure of 2024. I felt the game was very similar to the original, with some weird stuff, although it didn’t really bother me. But it’s true that toward the end of the game, it drags on too much, and all these destiny-related things start happening that I just don’t understand. At this point, I’m more interested in seeing how they’ll develop the gameplay for the Highwind and the submarine than in the explanation of the Whispers and all that stuff.

i absolutely hated eiyuden. I was hoping for a beautiful story like suiko 2, and got trash thats even worse then all suiko titles. highly disapointing game.

So pretty games, good, indie bad, got it! Also no Like a Dragon? It's better than Rebirth in many aspects (not all), especially the characters. Metaphor is still the best rpg this year though

[@poloDhTip]

granblue relink is kinda disappointing imo; far from a good story; more like a fun but shallow combat anime game rather than rpg

[@v.m.9198]

Wait...Vision of Mana came out??

[@danbooke2001]

Visions

[@dani3po]

Don't buy anything from Idea Factory. They are the worst and laziest JRPG creators.

[@clackman622]

Congrats on putting the most overrated game of the year as the 1st choice!! Audio issues, a stupidly laid out final boss rush, crappy controlled mini games. Quests so complicated that YT guides are a must. But hey. It's pretty. Ignore that most of the cool animations are skipped or off screen.

Not even adding in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth makes me honestly sad at this list. Especially when lesser known franchises are added.

[@OwtDaftUK]

Granblue in my opinion would be in the not worth it category. The story is meh and short and some characters are beyond annoying.

Couldnt agree more
