Let me get this straight, if we don't start buying switch rpg's like you say the nintendo is going to stop offering them to us? Do you have inside knowledge from nintendo about your comment? Maybe the lack of sales should be taken by nintendo to mean we are sick of their poor quality low resolution games and should make a next-gen console to compete with the competition for our hard-earned money!

Wow, another fan of the Ogre Battle series. I consider it my favorite RPG series of all time (and I too prefer the gameplay of OG Ogre Battle and 64 though Tactics Ogre is still great of course). And Final Fantasy 5 is definitely underrated. It's not my favorite (that will probably always be 6) but I'd put it top 5, which I don't think most western fans would. I gotta say though, it's kind of unfortunate that most of your picks are ports or remasters. It goes to show that (J)RPGs aren't what they used to be in terms of quantity of good and great original titles. Also, you didn't mention Shin Megami Tensei V, one of the few JRPG exclusives on the Switch. It's not the best SMT game to me (that would be 2 or 3), but I had a lot of fun with it. I just wish it had more replay value since the way it's designed you can just reload a save near the end and see all of the endings (and so of course that's what I did, ha ha). It should've been like the older games where more of the flags or alignment changes happened earlier and throughout the story.

I have not played shin megami 5 but I hear great things about it and yes OgreBattle is my favorite franchise. Zelda has my favorite game but my heart belongs to the story in OgreBattle.

@@ogre27kain No problem. Glancing at your other vids, it seems like you own every Switch game worth owning, lol. That's impressive. I guess you probably could do a list of top ten turn based RPGs that are exclusive to the Switch (at least original turn based RPGs from 2017 and beyond, since third party console exclusivity gets rarer and rarer each gen) if you wanted to. My impression is that JRPGs (and turn-based in general, I suppose, though some western efforts like the Divinity Original Sin games have stood out) have long been in a rut of sorts, but then I can't help but compare to the SNES/PS1/PS2 days when good JRPGs from higher profile developers were so abundant. I suppose those times are never coming back.

While "simple" and "safe" applies to Dragon Quest XI, I would say the game actually has one of the most epic stories I've seen in a JRPG. There are other few examples but only a handful probably. A good description of DQXI would be like playing the JRPG version of the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy or Avengers Infinity War and Endgame. That's the kind of story you'll find in this game. At first it seems kinda overly simplistic and childish but the more you play the game keeps surprising you. I don't think the story is predictable at all. Spoiler section for those that played it or are interested: Halfway through the game the heroes literally lose the "final battle" and the party gets scattered again. The world was conquered by the villain and there are maps completely ravaged by his tyranny. Each party member lose their hope in their own way and when you find them again you have to spark that fire again. After you play the second half of the game and beat the villain, the game appears to be in it's final moments, but then there's an entire last chapter dedicated to time traveling (because of some stuff that happened during the fight against the villain) and this time another, much bigger villain, of cosmic proportions shows up (and it's hinted throughout the entire game). Honestly, I never understood what people loved so much about DQ but after playing XI I can say I 100% get it. It manages to be simple, yet so charismatic and well written.

@Ocean5ix Жыл бұрын
