NE:
Now that we have a first trailer for Dragon Quest VIII on 3DS, we’re able to see the new version in action. How does it stack up to the PlayStation 2 original? You’ll be able to get a look at how the two editions compare in the video below.
The list is as long as it would take you to grind through Dragon Quest VIII. Here are the best JRPGs on the PlayStation 2.
Good list, kudos for adding Shadow Hearts, Covenant is probably the best Jrpg most people have not played and what an improvement over the first one (plus ties with Koudelka which is an awesome game as well).
I own all 3 of those games with 2 copies of Koudelka on PS1 just in case one of the four discs crapped out on me . Same with Legend of Dragoon. That’s one thing I want Sony to get back into , JRPGs , action and turned based
Yep, they should have at least 1 Japanese studio with 2 teams in it specialize in JRPG.
The amount of time I bring up Covenant when referring to amazing RPGs is astounding.
I wish I had played the other Shadow Hearts games, didn't know there was so many until later in the PS3 generation, at that point they hard to get for a reasonable price. I only got to play Covenant sadly, hopefully they'll all get ported to modern systems at some point.
Take a look at the libraries of your favorite consoles. I guarantee you, other than a handful of fighting games better suited on the Dreamcast, PS2 still has the best, biggest, and most varied library. Literally something for everyone. JRPGs on PS1 and PS2 really were special.
Edit: the article basically just lists every single JRPG on PS2 lol
Dragon Quest XI was the first Dragon Quest ever released on a Microsoft console, and the next title to come to Game Pass should be Dragon Quest VIII.
Well it's already playable on a Xbox thanks to Retroarch. But being available through the Game Pass is more a matter of Square-Enix remaking it or at least remastering it for the current generation.
Do you want to play the Dragon Quest Hero in Smash Ultimate but feel out of the loop? Fear not, GI has you covered.
3ds seem to be more colorful and bright.
Now THAT game is worth to get a HD remaster.
To me both seem to have the edge over the other on some aspects, but overall I think the graphics are fine on the 3DS and won't interfere with the game. Hopefully SE will be smart enough to bring it to NA (and everywhere in the world) as opposed to keeping it exclusive to Japan. Unless they hate money that is, considering the translation already exists, I would presume localization costs of the 3DS version of the game would be minimal.
*sigh* Wish we could get it on other systems.
I Want a PsVita/Ps4 HD remaster with cross-save and cross-play, it's too good a game to only be re-released on the 3DS. And i'm guessing FFX/X-2 HD did good businees on Sony consoles.
