[@lolozo214]

You missed the biggest hidden gem: the vita itself

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Ha! How right you are!

[@zensempai7371]

A “hacked” vita and psp . Is like heavens sweet kisses upon your digits

[@zengram]

I started playing lost dimension for you recommendation. The story is the strong point in this game,because,you have to discover the traitor in 13 days.

[@snarkyjay4744]

I know it's 3 years late, but thanks for this video! I've been looking for some new hidden gems to play on my Vita, and this video was a great help!

[@donaldxavier2056]

I appreciate your love of RPGs. I have discovered so many new games thanks to you!

[@boombap08]

Dude love your vids. Been getting back into gaming the past year and a half and have got a switch and that oled vita. Love all the content and enthusiasm bout these games/ systems.

[@danielguerrero1438]

Great video already played most of the games that you probably going to talk about but glad to hear you are enjoying the system which is great

[@sinfurihaart]

I was surprised to see Ray gigant for the thumbnail. Lol. Nice video! I talked about Ray gigant on my channel and even showed videos of full slash beat mode, which is the rhythm game but extremely fast paced.

[@bobsamurai]

Love your videos, you really know a lot about jrpgs

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Thank you. It's really time consuming but totally worth it, especially when I get positive feedback!

[@adamclark8994]

Took the words out of my mouth. You are right.

[@CodeProvider]

I'm boutta buy a vita so I really appreciate these vids too bub

[@MeganCristallis]

Awesome video! I can't wait for part 2!!

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Thank you!

[@dynastystar5515]

So you are looking for the top 11 to 20 JRPGs on the PS Vita?

[@MeganCristallis]

What do you mean? I just counted more than 70

[@kat.]

Great list! I just recently got a Vita and I’ve never heard of any of these besides Ys Origin. I’m playing through Ys 8 right now which is also happens to be my first Ys ever and I love it. Definitely want to check out Origin after I finish and others you mentioned.

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Thank you!

[@justmkipvme]

Thank you for this video! I'll pick up some games from here!

[@wessee427]

thanks man checking out trillion god of destruction saw you before you had 13k views conssistent glad your are doing well

[@Chelaxim]

Trillion has a fantastic art style. Very stylish.

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Yeah, I agree.

[@agndan19]

¡Fantástico Top! Al inicio cuando iba a comprar la vita cerca de hace año y medio, tenía más curiosidad, que altas expectativas. Y ha sido una grata sorpresa encontrar un catálogo tan diferente al resto de consolas, sean portátiles o de sobremesa. Eso sin contar la emulación de psp y ps1. Definitivamente merecía más atención. Muchas Gracias por ampliar esa lista de juegos pendientes.

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Por nada, espero no te pierdas la segunda parte en un par de meses más. ¡Gracias!

[@n3r0n3]

Honestamente, nunca he entendido por qué circule este rumor de que el catálogo de PSV sería basura... es un catálogo con pocos juegos mainstream (como dices mainstream en español?) pero es enorme, lleno de títulos exclusivos e JRPG increíbles

[@waybackintheday101]

Finally someone else who loves Lost Dimension! I was certainly looking forward to this video.

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Thank you! And yes, Lost Dimension is AMAZING!

[@christianprincedebates6740]

Yay man! Great vid. Any love for rpgs is always a good thing. Agree with summon night 6 English voice acting, it's painful. Although this game is a psp release, crimson gem saga is a GREAT traditional rpg and can be played on the Vita.

[@ErickLandonRPG]

I've played Crimson before and I agree, it's a great game. Another hidden gem.

[@feeamerie5011]

Got my platinum on Lost Dimension loved it so much. And mind zero I loved too. Exist archive and Grand kingdom I got on PS4 though. Try Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black really good srpg take on the neptunia series with Noire as the lead. x

[@FreeRPGer]

Great list. I grabbed a physical copy of "Ys Origin" for PS4, but that was a Limited Run Games release, so I believe the "physical" release of Origin is very limited (only 3,000 to 5,000 physical copies for each, Vita & PS4). It is more common digitally, I believe. Oh, and Ray Gigant is also a Limited Run Games release --- only a 3,000 physical copies in existence on each.

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Thanks!

[@lankylemon8555]

Nice list, subbed

[@MrHoLinWun]

i just bought a vita last week, so i'm so happy you made this video :).....on a side note, i also bought growlanser generations for the ps2, it was expensive too, got it for 60 bucks on craigslist, i'm in vancouver bc canada , but i watch your videos all the time so i thought i would try it because of a video i watched of yours on ps2 rpg's

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Great pick! Growlanser Generations is two completely different games for the price of 1. 60 Canadian dollars, that was indeed a little expensive, but it's completely worth it, trust me! Enjoy the games!

[@egps3762]

I agree with Lost Dimension loved that game!

[@Axeru_777]

Finally! I've been waiting for this video for a long time! I agree with most of the games in this list. Exist Archive and Grand Kingdom finally got some recogntion. Now when are you going to release your top 10 PS Vita JRPGs? Please make more Vita videos!

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Top 10 Best Vita JRPGs will have to wait until next year, probably; I still have a lot of games to play and beat, haha. Thanks for your feedback!

[@samuraireflection]

I'm a fan of yours now, been watching videos, cool list, I will in time, give these games a try

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Thank you!

[@Ben_osrs]

Wow I was about to sell my pstv thinking I had played enough games but man there’s so many games I have yet to play. Thanks!

[@WilliamWallace-re4bc]

I have most of the games on this list, some of which are for the Vita. Fun fact: Aquire also developed the PS3 title "Wizardry: Labryinth of Lost Souls" along with Monkey Punch Software. Monkey Punch went on to use that engine in their Class of Heroes series.

[@busterwolf2012]

Awesome video bro. Cant wait for the next ps vita list.

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Already working on it :D Thanks!

[@elementalhit1088]

brilliant channel.. just subscribed

[@YanniBG]

Great video, man! I already know what to play next on my Vita. ;)

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Thanks!

[@gerardofacundo6721]

Ys origin is great game. I'm currently enjoying it thanks to your video!

Excellent ! Your vidéo rocks !

Was that a Hocico shirt!? Hell yeah!

[@baskogitlog7276]

thanks for the list

[@sammyleonata6079]

love this, i thought i'd almost done with Vita (almost beat every "mainstream" jrpg, and i had a great time), i think i'll start to recharge my vita back thanks for the recomendation.

[@ErickLandonRPG]

You're welcome!

[@penguincjp]

Great video! You showed me some that I knew about, but I now want to get since you talked about it. I am sooo glad you talked about Trillion. Super underrated

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it.

[@emmanuelblas5861]

agree with U for Lost dimension !

[@FreakZoneark]

Wow, thank you for this list. I was looking for good anime games for my ps vita❤️

[@n3r0n3]

All great picks! And Ray Gigant rocks (for some reason)!! I bought it as physical. Summon night... I'll try it (it did not come out as physical in EU and acting was so bad but it looks incredible on vita). Also Mind 0 I do not have it. I confess when it comes to Persona-like I was more curious of Caligula Effect (ps. Tokyo Xanadu is great!).

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Thanks!

[@David_Alvarez77]

Good video, as usual. While I do not have a Vita, I think that I may take your recommendation and try Lost Dimension on PS3. It looks interesting. I had considered purchasing it before, but I decided to get Natural Doctrine instead (which I found disappointing). Anyway, good work!

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Lost Dimension is far superior than Natural Doctrine. Try it out!

[@jhobloodflowerz]

VP spiritual successor!! I need this game!

[@danonionmaster]

Ys Origin is actually my favorite Ys game haha! I own the Limited Run Collectors Edition on PS4.

[@ErickLandonRPG]

It's a great, retro-looking game!

[@nigazallucard]

Ys my favorite as well. :)

[@vinsantos3462]

thanks man!

[@Dorian_Gray83]

Another great list Erick Landon rpg! Vita has so many great and unknown rpgs, specially since a lot of them came out late in its life span. I would recommend anybody that's a Vita fan, to pick up those physical games asap. All of those rpgs, except Ar Nosurge Plus are affordable! I'm glad I picked up Ar Nosurge Plus a while back...Damn

[@blackfox1665]

I dont like you hahaha I'll eventually will buy it even at its ridiculous price

[@Dorian_Gray83]

@@blackfox1665 Lol. Or try to at least get the game only with original case, without the special edition garbage it comes with. It's slightly cheaper

[@ErickLandonRPG]

I get the feeling the PS3 version is cheaper, but I haven't checked; didn't know the Vita version was that over priced.

[@Dorian_Gray83]

@@ErickLandonRPG Yup it's very expensive. It was only available in a limited edition. I bought my Vita copy new, way back when it came out. I'm hesitant to open it, so I bought the PS3 version to play lol.

[@AkumaItachi]

I spend hundred of hours with RO Ace, it’s not as good as Soul Sacrifice Delta but still an amazing game Grand Kingdom was fun. Great list, i really like your enthusiasm about JRPGs

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Thank you!!!

[@AkumaItachi]

@@ErickLandonRPG No problem man, keep it up, hope your channel goes big ;)

[@wessamhamadneh9877]

I wanna give Ragnarok O. Ace a shot ! Man your videos are freaking awesome keep it up !!! Make sure to try Freedom Wars and sword art online Hollow realization !

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Thank you! I hope you enjoy Ragnarok, just focus on its gameplay/battle system rather than anything else. I'll try Freedom Wars as soon as I can!

[@guythegoth139]

Nice shirt! Also I guess it goes without sayiung that pretty much everything on the vita (not ported) is a hidden gem. I'd call Freedom Wars the best hidden gem imo, even if its one of the better known ones just because its Vita only.

[@MisF1998]

Woah,now I'm interested with the PS Vita. Thanks!

[@ErickLandonRPG]

You're welcome! :)

[@sdsurfs]

Played most of these before, but honestly, Natural Doctrine is the BEST SRPG I've played on any system. If you are into the SRPG genre you must play Natural Doctrine. It's a challenge, but the combat system is 100% unique to anything else I've played.

[@TrulySilentLie]

YS Origins: I like your motivations for putting it on the list, and having it at number 10 since it was pretty recently released feels appropriate. Grand Kingdom: Yeah it was a PSPlus title on the PS4 this spring, and not even that seemed to revitalize the interest for the game Mind Zero: Personally I think a game with a story intended to be the prologue for a follow-up game (that will never come because of poor sales) deserves to be forgotten. The gameplay is nice for the first few chapters, but as the game gets longer and the repetitive, boring dungeon design just keeps on going, very few things kept me invested. I'm still amazed I did beat it (one of the later bosses was actually really interesting in how it changes the combat system a bit) but overall it's a game that had promise but ultimately failed because it hedged all its bets on the sequel, instead of making sure the first game would end satisfyingly. Ray Gigant: If the fourth chapter had been how the game had worked throughout, I would have liked the game more. The first three chapters just drags on with a system that feels kinda boring and tedious. The fourth chapter at least gives you many ways to control battle, but by then it's too late imho. Exist Archive: Seems we need a name for games who are spiritual successors in gameplay only XD When it comes to the Dungeon Crawler RPGs I feel are also hidden gems, I would say Stranger of Sword City (my favourite JRPG on the system), the Operation Abyss/Babel Games and potentially the two Demon Gaze games can be seen as hidden gems. The Vita does have a surprising amount of games in the genre ^^

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Hey, thanks for sharing your opinion! I've been seeing a lot of people complaining about Mind Zero. It's not the greatest of the list, probably the least good, but it's still a pretty decent game. I really don't understand all the hatred towards it, but well, everyone's got their own opinion. As for Stranger in Sword City, well, I did play it and I did play Demon Gaze as well... just not my cup of tea. They're good games, yes, but I just didn't like them, haha.

[@TrulySilentLie]

Fair enough, I think I like Stranger in Sword City so much because it appeals to the true hardcore of the fans of the genre, it's really quite difficult to get going but really rewards the people that truly masters the systems

[@iamaeris]

Interesting. I only play Ys Origin. Might check other titles on this list. Thanks!

[@CursedBanquet]

Thanks a lot for this video, i just bought a ps vita today, and i want to play some nice jrpgs :)

[@ErickLandonRPG]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@00GHeroes]

I own most of these games, great list

[@jgg86rpgs]

Good job on the video. I know you'll be busy with that hack 3DS, but check out Freedom Wars for Vita.

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Thank you, I'll check it out.

[@ChrisPirillo147]

AMAZING VIDEO GAMES!

[@christianhamel2700]

I just bought God wars for the switch and i love it so far. Will you be doing vid about the switch in the future when there is more JRPG on it?

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Probably next year, because I'm planning to get a PS4 first.

[@10minGameplay1]

Thanks for sharing!! Not getting a Vita any time soon but there are some that also for win which might be something to get. Are you playing anything on PC?? Im more into older PC games which has lots of awesome RPG, maybe not that great for JRPG's however. But there are Septerra Core and Breath of Fire 4 got an awesome PC ver.

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Only thing I play on PC is emulators; we're talking about a Toshiba laptop with 3gb RAM... I need to update it soon, mainly to improve the quality of these videos. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@10minGameplay1]

A Toshiba laptop with 3gb RAM is a super computer for game from around 2000s.

[@ThePerro]

I have septerra core on Steam, but I haven’t put much more than an hour into it. I think from what I played it seems to be a good western crpg take on traditional JRPG games

[@K7TZ]

Nice I know 1 of them ar no surge. I already know and played the demo for ragnarok but didn’t like it cuz of different art style. I plan to buy mind zero 1 day. I’ve been on my wish list for a couple of years

[@themarchinggoblin8294]

Erick dunno if your aware but the producer of smt v did an interview very recently and said that the studio has a big interest in porting nocturne to current gen. Great news 🙂

[@ErickLandonRPG]

That'd be awesome. I imagine they're going to add an easy mode for wimps like me who never managed to beat it, hahaha. Nah, seriously, I hope they do.

[@henriquehubner7216]

Oh wow...

[@WilliamWallace-re4bc]

To Cyber Punk69: The 2DS has a few differences from the 3DS. The original 2DS is constructed like a tablet, it only has one speaker but does have 3.5mm stereo out, and has no 3D functionality. The New 2DS has the clamshell construction, otherwise it's like a New 3DS.

[@trevorchadwick7649]

Loved you in the Mandolorian. How's the kid?

[@lunarrhythm7344]

I just finally picked up a vita (to hack) so I'm super grateful for all these videos. You definitely have the best vita coverage.

[@joanjoestar3252]

Ya estaba listo para quejarme si no aparecia Grand kingdom lol, no sabria decir si Disgaea 3 es desconocido pero es un juego que disfrute bastante y que siempre se infravalora por lo bueno que es el 4 y la pesima versión de Ps3, valdria la pena que probaras digimon cybersleught que servirian para la segunda parte :)

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Gracias. Definitivamente tenía que estar Grand Kingdom, una joya que triunfó por unos meses cuando salió pero que todos olvidaron por alguna extraña razón. Disgaea, bueno, creo que todos son muy conocidos y no me creerás que es el único que no he jugado. El 4 me está encantando (qué coincidencia que lo menciones porque lo he estado jugando en estas últimas semanas), pero pronto jugaré el 3 a ver qué tal.

Thanks a lot Go and see part 2✌️

No, think there is only a script on gamefaqs :(

[@samie9907]

For those of you who don't know he said he's gonna search for and play hidden gems,that explains why the video was quick.

[@dtwelve2086]

damn i just might play the entire list

[@christopherrichardson2945]

Mind 0 was my first dungeon crawler

[@MrValgard]

i got Trillion on last steam sale for like 3$ :D

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Wow, very cheap.

[@sinfurihaart]

I also talked about mind zero on my channel. While I did like it for what it was, it has an awful cliffhanger at the end...which kind of killed it for me. Lol. But yeah, the persona 3 and 4 influences are definitely there.

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Hey :) Funny you're writing here, hahaha. Read the description ;)

[@sinfurihaart]

LOL! Omg. I didn't even see that. I was thinking to myself, "he wouldn't use my gameplay footage. I never got asked, but that's cool". I'm honored. Thanks for the credit!

[@ErickLandonRPG]

I just saw you've a Facebook page, I should have contacted you through there. I didn't on KZbin because you can't send messages anymore since a couple of months ago, they removed the option. But anyways, sorry for using it without permission, but I felt the least I could do was to credit the gameplay's owner.

[@sinfurihaart]

I'm mainly more on active on twitter, sometimes I ignore FB for weeks. Lol. But no worries! Yeah, I miss the messaging system on YT. So stupid of them to remove it. You're good. I still appreciate you giving credit. If you need any footage for later on, let me know, if it's possible for me. I haven't updated my channel in a long time. Lol. But I still record footage when I have the free time to do it. Looking forward to your part two video!

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Thank you and likewise, if you need footage as well, I don't mind if you or anybody else uses it.

[@aryyohansson2238]

Ys origin is a crossbuy title, bough on ps4 and got on vita as well😀

[@ErickLandonRPG]

:D

[@Inuzumi]

I wouldn't call them gems but yeah, most of those are games that came out pretty much on the first years of the vita's life and got lost on time, it's kind of hard find them on the recomendation threads on reddit.

[@solidusgrcsnakegrc3322]

We want more!!!

[@ErickLandonRPG]

There will be more, I promise!

[@elelel1987]

Like you top ten

[@ironuru526]

Man, you should play Odin Shpere Leifratsir and Muramasa Rebirth, i'm sure those two can be in the top three of this list

[@ErickLandonRPG]

I don't consider those two games as hidden gems since they're both pretty well known :) I did play Muramasa and it was awesome, I loved it. I also love Odin Sphere but I've only played the PS2 version.

[@lacqs9129]

my problem on exist archive is that it crash on dungeons rolling you back on your previous save..

[@malicekingofshadows]

I pretty much soloed ragnorck odasy ace it was not esay to beat solo but worth it

[@bENOFFICIALMASSIVE]

I just noticed Ni No Kuni on DS on Ebay? In a box. Looks like a Japan only release, dang, didn't know that

[@bENOFFICIALMASSIVE]

Damn, did research, its a different game and theres a fan translation!!!! Wow, stoked, gotta play that!

[@FoxFireUnlimited]

You forgot to mention that Ragnarok Odyssey Ace was made by a team that got back together...the same team that made the original three Lunar games on the Game Gear and Sega CD.

[@ErickLandonRPG]

No, I didn't "forget it", dude. I can't put every damn detail in 1-1:30 minutes I talk about each game, now can I?

[@FoxFireUnlimited]

@@ErickLandonRPG Sorry. I didn't mean to upset you...I was just trying to help, in case people didn't know just how awesome that game was and why. You mentioned that Victor Ireland was responsible for Gaijin/WD in the one so I just...never mind. Sorry, again.

[@CrashuX]

Ow Yeah and u should try Demon Gaze if you already didnt do that :) Im actually playing the second Demon Gaze on my Vita cool games :)

[@ErickLandonRPG]

I did but 1.- I think it's not that hidden since dozens of people have been recommending it for the past few weeks. 2.- I am very sorry but I just didn't like it =/

[@allissonpereira9640]

The story is good? Unexpected! Now I want to play Exist Archive.

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Characters are stereotyped, as I said in the video, but yes, the story, despite that, is really interesting.

[@melloyellofreak]

how do you get the screen of the vita so big on here? i like these type of games but i can't stand looking at the tiny screen while playing it...is there a way to play it where it is blown up to the tv or computer screen?

[@ErickLandonRPG]

There's this thing called PS TV with which you can connect the Vita to the TV.

[@melloyellofreak]

@@ErickLandonRPG cool... Do you just subscribe to it or is it a device you buy

[@ErickLandonRPG]

It is a device you buy, but unfortunately, it's very expensive and hard to find nowadays.

[@vasiliyseven108]

Lost Dimension a good game, but it's terribly simple. Although, this did not stop me from knocking out platinum in this game.

[@marcosdheleno]

by the way, im pretty sure the original persona, as well as some SMT games are FPDs.

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Yes, that's right.

[@martinomagic9230]

I had a feeling you would have Mind Zero and Ray Gigant on the list haha before I even saw this video. I thought they were alright but like so many dungeon crawlers they lack anything to keep you playing the whole way through. These two at least tried to have a story but I got probably about half way through in both of them before I just couldn't take how repetitive they were. These arn't horrible games but I would not recommend paying full price for them as if you are not a complete dungeon crawler junky I doubt you will finish them. Ar No Surge was an example of one of my biggest concerns with so many JRPGs lately, the lets put no effort into the world problem. Everywhere you go is like a one or two room hall way connected by a point A to B map. I wanted to like the game the combat was pretty fun and the story might of got interesting but like so many games nowadays I just can't make it through them due what feels like no effort put into them. As for the rest on the list they are all good to great games that will keep you wanting more the whole way through good list haha. Now to start playing Dragon Quest 11 so excited and here is praying Square Enix didn't find a way to ruin it fingers crossed!

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Thanks. I don't want to contradict myself, since I recommended both games on this list (Mind and Ray), but I kind of agree with your opinion. I haven't finished either, of course, but I did get the feeling that I'm going to end up tired of them pretty soon. However, the trick on beating games like those is to just take your time. Go back to them every once in a while and eventually get through the end. I mean, I'd rather play Lost Dimension or Exist Archive a million times over them, but they're also pretty good and I do want to beat them someday. As for Ar Nosurge, well, I must confess I beat it on the PS3 a couple of months ago. I downloaded the Vita version just to see the differences. I really liked it, but I still prefer the Tonelico games. Even the third one for the PS3.

[@martinomagic9230]

I really like the Tonelico games to which is why I bought Ar Nosurge day one of its release but like I said I just couldn't stand that their was like no dungeons at least to where I played I got to the point where you switch characters maybe it picks up after that? If so I would like to know so I can go back and play it but up to where I played I was pretty disappointed in the lack of interesting dungeons. I never got to play the 3rd Tonelico game it kind of released without any real news or anything on it so I didn't even know it existed till like a couple months ago haha. I really love the music in those games and the atmosphere they give so someday I need to play the 3rd one. Oh I agree dungeon crawler games really are made for portable systems to be played on the go. Those games were by far not bad dungeon crawlers as far as dungeon crawlers go I think they are some of the best but all dungeon crawlers get old for me and are not really my thing haha. There has been a lot of good things said about the Mary Skelter one so maybe that one is actually really good the whole way through.

[@TheDannylarson]

I love Ys origin, total grind fest through the tower!

[@ErickLandonRPG]

I played it on the PS4 a while ago at my friend's house and we had to quit precisely because of that, haha. Now that I've been playing the Vita version, I see I'm still on the same situation! But it's totally worth it. It really is a great, underrated game!

[@TheDannylarson]

I actually own it on the Ps4 not the vita, your right, for people only invested in the story I can totally see that, imagine if it was a turn based rpg? if that was the case the game would probably get no love from main stream gamers.

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Yeah, because the current generation doesn't like turn based games anymore, which is why I also think that Grand Kingdom...stopped being mainstream.

[@johnequalizer9172]

Hey guys, what's up? (raises his hand)

[@CursedBanquet]

man!! i played lost dimension and i love it, hope we get a sequel or something in the future.

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Yeah, it's awesome!

[@bahamut191180]

i have many of this games but i dount have this trillion game and i want it because i love the disgea series and this locks like disgea ^^

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Plays very, very different from Disgaea, though but it is indeed a pretty good game.

[@pleasantpancake160]

Have you played Caligula Effect? It's also similar to Persona games (the director of the game was also the one of P1 and 2) and it's not well know for its quality in my opinion

[@ErickLandonRPG]

I'm heavily considering that game for part two, I just didn't have enough time to play it.

[@doodlebugfour7070]

It's gotten a PS4 Port that improved on its technical issues as well as new features like be able to play as a female protagonist. Caligula Overdose is what it's called.

[@ErickLandonRPG]

So you recommend the PS4 version over the PS Vita one?

[@doodlebugfour7070]

Erick Landon RPG Is has yet to release in the west, tho NIS America has uploaded a trailer on their KZbin channel. I saw a twitch stream of Japanese version of Overdose, where the framerate is smoother.

[@pleasantpancake160]

It will also come to PC. If it has new content I'll probably buy it again

[@ericbarlow6772]

How about Tokyo Tattoo Girls? I have it but I haven't tried it yet.

[@ErickLandonRPG]

I didn't even know about that game. I'll check it out too!

[@personamaster1573]

Trillion is a hidden gem? Pfffft, yeah right. The training you're required to do to prepare one of your heroines to battle trillion is just horrible. And the boss is multi phased so if you actually manage to whittle it down, you have the next phase to contend with and you are always in danger of death if you dont move fast enough to a safe zone if there even is one. And if I recall properly, each phase gives it more health and you are nearly always required to manage your mp items because your character needs that one move to make it to that safe zone I mentioned before. There is a KZbin video showing what I mean. If I'm wrong, feel free to mention the video that proves it and I'll man up to say I was wrong. The game is not fun and I'm considering trading it in to put it to a more worthwhile game. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Your new intro is very funny and weird

[@ErickLandonRPG]

I'm not sure I like it, it was just an experiment. I wanna see if people are okay with an intro, not with that one in particular, just "an intro" so I can make a much better one in the future.

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Thanks, I'll take that into account.

I couldnt get into mind zero. I liked demon gaze way more. Just curious what other people think of the 2. Dungeon travellers 2 blows the socks off all of them though imo. Bigger, more strategic, more classes, options, etc. All the dungeon crawlers I mean.

[@ErickLandonRPG]

It's been only three hours since I uploaded this video and there have been like 5 people complaining about that game. I'll admit I didn't get that far into it, but the 4-5 hours that I played convinced me to recommend it. I see nothing wrong with it, except, perhaps, the Persona wannabe feeling. But other than that, I thought it was an okay game. Not the best on the list, but still...

[@TrulySilentLie]

Dungeon Travelers 2 I felt was one of the strongest weak Dungeon Crawler RPGs actually, much because of it's characters. Gameplaywise, though. I liked the characters in how they were designed and written, but when I got a new character, who had a better unique skill so she should replace the character I was using with the same class, and she is like 10-20 levels lower.... So much extra grinding I had to do in that game just to get the party I wanted to be on a relevant level... Really put a damper on the game. Also the game seemed so random when it came to how much damage and how many attacks some enemies got. Like, I could hardly ever really know or expect anything in battle

[@Ghalion666]

@@ErickLandonRPG yeah im just ssying I couldnt get into it. Not bashing your opinions. Im looking forward to your next video =)

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Thank you!

[@Ghalion666]

@@TrulySilentLie i agree about the leveling thing. Particularly because leveling in that game is really slow, even if you are behind, you dont catch up. Not to mention if you are underlevel, enemies can easily 1 or 2 shot your underlevel character.... that said the game is fairly well designed in the sense that if you dont replace a character with an underlevel one, you won't actually need to grind if you like the challenge. I'm at the final story dungeon and I never grinded yet. About the random damage thing, thats not exactly true. Early on in the game certain enemies have certain attacks that do devastating damage. IIRC in the forest dungeon (last in the demo iirc) there was a dryad or something with some kinda water bubble attack that pulverizes you. However later on at about the time where you have to defeat some elephant god boss, ALL the trash suddenly have whoopass attacks. However you gradually gain access to equipment and abilities that provide resistances and defenses against specific attacks. So you basically just have to identify your enemies (even trash) accurately to safely progress. Bosses generally have specific party wipe attacks you NEED to have a response for too. Its not a dungeon crawler if you like coasting thru combat. But if you want a dungeon crawler that really demands you to learn and improvise, its one of the best.

JRPG for Steam please :)

[@dynastystar5515]

question, did you beat Ys Origin with Toal? because you should, there's some alot of important details in it.

[@ErickLandonRPG]

I haven't beaten it with any character. I only played it with Yunica for...I think 10 hours? Maybe less. I'm near the end, I know it, but I haven't beaten it.

[@dynastystar5515]

oh okay :(

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Have you beaten it with both characters? Who makes the better route?

[@dynastystar5515]

You unlock Toal after you've beaten one of the first two routes, I only played Yunica's story and then once I was done hers, I played Toal's. I haven't beaten Hugo's. Hugo's very much a more of a defensive character, his attacks have more range, his abilities are more defensive.

[@IceofDream.]

Ys memories of Celceta is better than origins, there is also: neptunia the three games, salt and santuary, soul sacrifice , and tales of hearts... I did enjoy rainbow moon and darket dungeon though neither is Japanese. And i don't think i have to mention FFX since i bought the vita just for it! trails in the sky + cold steel are really really amazing

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Celceta, Neptunia games, Soul Sacrifice, Tales of Hearts, Trails and motherfucking FFX are NOT hidden gems. At least not in the niche community that I've built in this channel.

@@ErickLandonRPG whoops sorry i forgot that the title says hidden gems 🤣 but keep on dude i like your vidoes
