The JRPG Thread • Page 18

Super old post (whoops) but I’m playing through Parasite Eve and it’s so good! I would love to see a remaster or something. The story is just too good to pass up.

 

Been playing a lot of I Am Setsuna lately. It’s such a nice and fun game

 

I 100% agree with this. I was just thinking about that too actually. I have it on my Vita and it plays so well

 

Ive never played Parasite Eve, it's a JRPG???

 

First Parasite Eve still hasn't been released in Euroland, not even on Vita. Still annoyed

 

I've never played it either, it has always looked really interesting though

 

Kind of. It's loosely a lot of different genres which is what makes it pretty cool. It's kind of like Resident Evil mixed with JRPG elements. It's funky and awesome and super creepy for it's time.

 

I know me and @Vase Full Of Rocks are the only two people in the world that like the Vita, but it's really great for playing PS One classics

 

I have a Vita TV so I can play all of them with a controller. So good.

 

I like it I have a hacked one I never play much haha. I could prob get PE on it

 

I have modded both my PS and SNES Classics. They're basically just JRPG machines now.

Also I'm about to beat Golden Sun for the 2nd time ever

 

What's the worst JRPG?

 

Quest 64, Eternal Eyes, Hoshigami all come to mind

 

Right now I think kingdom hearts 3

 

Lmao I used to love Quest 64 for whatever reason

 

I still love it. Not a good game but the combat/elemental system is pretty decent. That said, it's like 90% nostalgia for me.

 

Yeah I’d love to revisit it. The combat was pretty cool, and I remember specific towns within the game even now, so there must have been at least decent worldbuilding as well

 

Bumping this thread even though I'm only recently getting back into this stuff

I was curious so I downloaded the Etrian Odyssey IV demo over the weekend and got so hooked I went out to get a used copy

Super fun and punishing so far

Also my OCD is making the map drawing mechanic real fun

 

The Switch is proving to be a godsend for the genre. After I finished Fire Emblem, all I want to do is play the remastered versions of Grandia, Dragon Quest, and the upcoming Star Ocean remake. Not to mention the new DQ this week...

 

and Ni No Kuni :0

 

oh god there's a thread for this?

hey.

 

Let's talk JRPGs yall

 

The best era of JRPGs? Easily the SNES and later the PSX eras. You can't go wrong there.

Here is a rough ranking of my favs:

1. Ogre Battle 64
2. Radiant Historia
3. Final Fantasy 9
4. Final Fantasy 4
5. Breath of Fire

So far this year I haven't played much, I'm only recently - as in like the past year - playing videogames again. I've gone through Golden Sun (again), FE Three Houses, and the original Lunar on my PS Classic. I have started but unfinished files for Arc the Lad 2 and Lufia 2 (beat that one at least once).

Need to do a second Three Houses run, finish the next Golden Sun (never did get around to it), and play some of the remastered stuff on the Switch.

Ok that's a good conversation starter

 

Im re-running throough FF IX on the switch right now, I know the story well but i'm gonna be honest I have never beaten the final boss. It's really easy to blow through the game when you can skip cutscenes and dialogue and use fast forward mode lol.

 

I know i've said it before but I cannot stress it enough, anyone who consider themselves even remotely a JRPG thread needs to play DQ11
