5 RPG Series I Haven't Played...Yet

[@kali-qgames1301]

Dope video my friend! .Hack is a series I want to come back so bad! I definitely recommend it! If you ever get around to it, I’d love to see your review of it! It’s crazy there’s no way to play the original dot hack games, absolutely ridiculous

[@CommRio]

Thank you! CyberConnect2 definitely has interest in bringing it back, so it's really Bandai Namco which does not make me feel optimistic but we can still hope

4:22 A JRPG player getting cold feet because the game might be long 😂

.hack holds such a special place in my heart, such a shame they've been so neglected for so long. I recently played them back on emulator and there are definitely some significant rough spots that could be smoothed over really nicely by a modern remake. GU is good, looking forward to your thoughts if you ever play it. The story is mostly independent but is for sure referential to the original series, curious to see what your impressions would be playing it without that context, could be fun!

It's been fun seeing the .hack fans come out of the woodwork for this video. Makes me glad I included it and excited about playing it in the future

I quit FF after FF 12, so I'm right there with you. The golden age FFs: 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 are five of the best games of all-time, but the thirteen trilogy, 15 and 16 are uninteresting to me. Yakuza and Altelier are both worth playing. I played Ryza 1 and Like a Dragon and those are two entry points that won't leave you confused over overwhelmed. Ryza 1 is a new story and doesn't have that many connections to previous games. Like a Dragon is much more connected to the previous Yakuza games, but it's completely manageable. Starting with the 7th Yakuza games is nothing like starting with the 7th trails game; you'll be fine starting with Like a Dragon. One thing I would add though: the mini-games in Like a Dragon are, in my opinion, not that good. Feel free to skip them; they're fairly simple, but they're grindy as all hell and they always manage to overstay their welcome because you have to keep playing them to the point of it being painful before you get a good prize.

It does seem like my instincts have been correct on Atelier and Yakuza, but we shall see if anything changes in the time before I play.

[@madkaiser4887]

Aye, I too have many great JRPGs yet to play, despite playing so many for the past 6 years lol

[@CommRio]

There's always more! I've gotten to a lot of series and yet we will never catch up it feels

[@Eagleknight815]

Grant you there's plenty that I haven't played either but going to the Final Fantasy portion; I would play four first. Not a super long game. Good story. Character building. The first game to use the ATB system. For somebody who has never played one, that would be my suggestion.

[@CommRio]

Thank you for the suggestion. I've got lots of options for when I do finally play a Final Fantasy game.

[@dylanpeddle6859]

For Final Fantasy I definitely recommend playing FF9

Honestly, I have a lot of games I want to try as well. However, There are two problems. 1. Some of them aren't on PC, Which prevents me from playing them. 2. They're expansive. Too expansive. I usually wait for a discount, And even then, The price is still high. Why Is it so hard for them to release old games on PC?

[@CommRio]

Your guess is as good as mine. There are many games that deserve a second life and PC would easily provide that, but sadly it doesn't seem to be in the cards

[@Javifaa]

Sometimes, the problem when porting old games to PC isn't that it's hard to do, but that the big shots don't think it's worth doing it. As simple as that.

[@עידומחלוף-ר4ח]

@@Javifaa Yeah, You're right. It's a shame, But I understand them.

[@faidou9954]

Im still disappointed that Bravely Default II never followed up on Bravely Second's true ending, not even a mention.

[@RPGStory]

I CANNOT recommend the Yakuza series enough. You can easily start with 7 since it's a whole new cast. If you do want to do the Kiryu storyline then start with 0 it does a fantastic job of leading you into the first game and it's also arguably one of the best in the series period. Also don't worry about side content they are all goofy and just a bit of fun. The main story you'll finish in around 14 hours or so and it's epic from start to finish so many twists and turns.

[@CommRio]

I think 0 was the only other one I really considered starting with because of how much praise it's gotten (and there was a time when it was the best available Yakuza game on PC)
