I'm actually in the middle of Dragon's Dogma right now and I'm liking it. I know a lot of people say it's a mashup of Skyrim, Monster Hunter and Dark Souls, but dare I say it's almost like if Monolith Soft made a medieval action JRPG with almost like a Xenoblade 3 party/class system, Monster Hunter elements, and a Dark Souls coat of paint. It has some barbs and burrs due to its age but once you get over that it's a surprising game that deserved more attention when it came out.

Honestly one of my favorite games of all-time. If you don't already know you might be pleased to learn there's a sequel coming out March 22nd next year. Don't think it's coming to Switch considering PS4 and that entire gen is being excluded from the available platforms (basically just new gen and PC).

Ys VIII Lacrimosa of Dana is my favorite action-JRPG. I found out it existed when I got my Switch and was looking for JRPGs I missed out on. It jumped into my top-3 as JRPGs immediately. Great story. Great characters. A little too much for the Switch to handle at times, but what's new?

Absolutely agree on BotW. I usually don't like completely open world. I like a little bit of structure but with BotW, I thoroughly enjoyed being able to go wherever I wanted and could spend hours just wandering around with no real objective. It really just felt like going back to my childhood where I played just to play and not so much to finish.

Love seeing NEO and Xenoblade on this list. If you're going to play xenoblade please play it in this order: XC1 XC1 Future Connect XC2 DLC - Torna the Golden Age XC2 XC3 XC3 DLC Future Redeemed The reason I recommend playing XC2 DLC Torna BEFORE playing XC2 is because of how poorly paced the story telling in XC2 is. There are a lot of really important characters to the plot, but the story pacing is horrendously bad and they do a horrible job of explaining why people matter, where and why, and when you experience those stories. HOWEVER you jump into Torna 1st, you are missing next to nothing in terms of plot. But all the plot from Torna is mandatory to truly understand and appreciate XC2's plot. If you just want to understand the characters and plot better sooner, play torna 1st then XC2.

New Zelda games are about exploration. Combat controls and mechanics are trash. No hyper armor when using heavy weapons. You can't change direction of a swing when unlocked. You can't change targets by flicking the right stick to the next target. Nintendo invented the controls in Zelda 64 and other companies like Fromsoft has surpassed them. Combat is a chore in the new Zelda games.

I don't hate turn-based or strategy RPGs but I genuinely want a little bit more 3D action JRPGs to play on the Switch. It doesn't matter whether it's recent or a game from a few console generations ago.

Amazon, Walmart etc. have had quite a few issues with missing Switch Cartridges. From what I heard, as I bought a game that was missing the cartridge, they are able to dislodge the cartridge, and cut a small slit in the outer wrap, and are just opening the game case just enough to dump them out. Their small size also makes them easy to steal, once removed from the case.

Get the master sword 🗡️ dumb ass, you know the most OP sword in the game. I'm playing totk, you can get the master sword right away simply by having two rows of stamina by getting enough shrines worth to upgrade stamina. As for botw you can get the master sword 🗡️ by cooking meals that up your health temporarily. You realize that today's games no longer hand hold you. Just look at Elden ring or dark souls. Once you get the master sword you're good for the rest of the game. But nooooo it's too hard to put in time to get enough Hart's in botw or stamina in totk. Finally literally buy amiibos or amiibo cards which are cheaper. You can scan them once a day and get durable weapons daily. Your complaint is a non issue only a noob complains about. Literally buy amiibos and get the same weapons daily if the break. There's no limit to how many you can scan

I think you've forgotten CrossCode and Tunic (you put the Zelda games in this video, so Tunic earns its place too ^^). 😄 In fact, it's kinda hard to choose the "Action-RPG only" games because some other types are really really close (ie. some action-adventure and some metroidvania with RPG mechanics). I'd like to give an honorable mention to Pokemon Legends Arceus, more action-oriented (and still RPG) than the main serie games of the franchise. And like one of the comments said, the Switch REALLY needs XCX, the cherry on the Xenoblade cake.

Game won action adventure of the yr and was not even nominated in the rpg yrs bro still calling it a rpg. Rant done great list of great games. I feel like the awful controls of world ends with you remake scared a lot of people away from neo because everyone I know who asked if they played it they always say they did not want to deal with those controls again and did not even try it. And way great list. I would take sao off because I don't like sao it's a poor man's .hack .hack did everything sao does way better in both the show and game format. I would remove zelda and the warrior titles because not rpgs. And ff12 and crisis core because as a life long ff fan who has been playing them since the first one on the nes 16, 7, 12, and 15 are my least favorite in that order and crisis core I prefer the psp orginal I don't like the changes in voice actors and some of the scenes like not being able to see Midgar in the background in the final fight. But other then that great list and you really think the switch is the best console ever? Are you old enough to remember the ps2 Era and how great of a console that was?

Not sure how you could rate Zelda as the best. The combat isn’t nuanced at all, it’s not really an RPG (it’s action adventure), enemy variety is boring, inventory management for weapons is clunky as hell, and it’s just nothing compared to some really dedicated action RPGs like Ys VIII or Vesperia.

One game I didn't see on this list is Astlibra Revision, the definition of a hidden gem. It's a 2D side-scrolling action RPG. On the surface, it looks like one of those old 2D style games. But the story, combat, and characters are all great. I'm over 150 hours in and still addicted to this game. And what's really amazing is how this game was developed by one person after he couldn't find anything good while browsing, so he just said, "Fine, I'll make my own game."

29:25 telling us this section of gems just need to be tried is fine, but don't forget we can't simply "just try" switch games unless we "just buy" them first. good list none the less. it pays to go back and watch a channels older videos on hidden gems because most times they're still hidden and still worth at least putting them on your wishlist.

For the last 6 months I have been creating a list of Action RPGs I want to buy and play (it is my favorite genre). Your list matches 100% the games I already have + the games on my bucket list 🙂 I even have (already bought) games like Fire Emblem Warriors (on Sales) but with the intention of buying FE Three Houses first (when on Sales) and play the later first, as you recommend. Great video, keep it up!! Added to my KZbin Favorites.

I played them both and honestly you have the same characters but the stories are different enough but still contain a few spoilers. In the end it doesn't really matter what you start with but i had more fun with warriors just wished it had the same or atleast nearly as much content as the first FE warriors. All of the Nintendo warriors games are pretty cool honestly

@@julianjuez oh i think it's extremely great, I actually didn't liked musou games at all until my wife gifted this to me on Christmas the year it released. Even recommend the DLCs since they add characters and content. But the thing is i like the grind to chill out after a long day, and there is a lot to grind there if you want to max out characters, like skills and the unique ultimate weapons. I think the biggest complain was the reuse of movesets for certain characters and the abundance of characters who use swords. But overall the combat is satisfying and i put in over 200 hours, i didn't finished every single thing but i was satisfied with it after that amount of time. The first hyrule warriors is another game i revisit every now and then since it has even more content, pretty sure i never finish it but these games are super chill for me.

Final Fantasy XII gets so much unjustified hate. It fixed the problem of useless party members so well that the fix literally became something that people pointed to (wrongly, in my opinion) as a negative. It's still one of my absolute favorite Final Fantasy games.

I like the setting and the characters, think it's among the better FF games. Just have problems with the gambit system, i don't understand it to well and a quite a lot of missable stuff like powerful weapons which intimidates me a bit.

Lots of Musou games on this list, love it. I know a lot of ppl that hated the original FF12, but loved the IZJS version released in Japan and now The Zodiac Age. I was dreading it because I loved the original and didn't want to be hampered as far as choice. But TZA added the ability to take a 2nd job and they even updated it to allow you to freely change. Switch/PC/Xbox released with it, PS4 had to wait a few years after it released everywhere else for the update.
