From DigitallyDownloaded.net: "I don’t see many people talking about the PlayStation 4 as one of the best JRPG machines ever created. That might change with the double whammy of Final Fantasy XV and Persona 5 coming over the next few months, but for now if you were to listen to some people, you’d think that the console doesn’t have many good JRPGs on it at all.
"The PlayStation 4 has an excellent line up of JRPGs to suit every taste, and so this week we’re going to list our favourite JRPGs on the system. Indeed, this line up shows why this is one of our favourite consoles for the genre ever. And that’s before we have Persona 5."
TheGamer Interviewed Naoki Yoshida: "A lot of people have been playing together with me and they don't even realize it."
The harbor is your first location, from where you can run off to different neighborhoods. You can find the Aetheryte square quickly, the other parts are already laid out gradually. Basic insight: Tulliollal is built on a hill, so it has an even larger vertical footprint than, for example, Old Sharlayan in Endwalker. While the harbor is down, the royal palace is all the way up, and you can wander into different nooks and crannies.
Naoki Yoshida talks about testing content himself, playing with fans under cover, and how most future FFXIV jobs will be original.
Jrpgs of the past were the golden age of the genre. Rpg's of today are going the GTA route. Turned based was the way
If nothing else.
No stylish combat games (Devil May Cry, Bayonetta), no proper new survival horror games, no car combat games (where the hell is a new Twisted Metal, Sony ?), no hell of a lot more genres that were once present on the PS2 and were trying to get through on the PS3.
All the new generation has is First-Person horror, First-Person action, First-Person shooters, First-Person VR gimmick bullshit and JRPGs which are trying to go away from the traditional turn-based combat, a whole lot of free-to-play stuff (mostly shooters or mobas)... Oh, and GTA clones, can't forget those ! The best time to be a gamer my ass.
Just half of the mentioned games are what I would describe as an jrpg though.
As great as games like Disgaea 5 are, they are definite not jrpg's.
That's a very good list of games. :)
For me, the place to go for traditional and non-traditional JRPGS would be the 3DS and Vita though.
Some desirable choice games here.Thank you .
