10 Promising JRPGs to Look Forward to in 2018

Twinfinite Writes: 2017 was a pretty strong year for JRPGs, and it looks like 2018 is stacking up to be much the same. Here's 10 JRPGs to keep your eye on.

Can't wait for:

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III
Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom
Valkyria Chronicles 4

[Tru80zGamer]

Yes someone who knows their quality JRPGs, I'm with ya on Trails of Cold Steel III

[3-4-5]

I'm beyond hyped for Dragon Quest XI.

Dragon Quest 9 is one of my favorite games of all time and the reason I love the Dragon Quest series and console/handheld rpgs as well.

Cold Steel 3......I'm still on Potmw on psp....then song of ocean....then I can start the trails series......then I can get to cold steel.

Probably be a few years before I play it but awesome knowing it will probably be a solid game like the others.

2018 is going to be an awesome year for RPGs. Some good western rpgs to release as well.

[Aceman18]

I know for sure I'll be getting

Ni No Kuni
KH 3 (PS4)
VC 4 (PS4)
Project Octopath
MHW (PS4)
DQXI (PS4)

This gen has been a beautiful resurgence of JRPGs.

Damn right!!

[Cyborgg]

Great

[gangsta_red]

Really looking forward to the new Dragon's Quest and VC 4 game next year.

[Fist4achin]

Ehhh, there goes my next two years. It's tough for me to get long stretches to rip through RPGs, though it is my favorite genre.

[CrystalFantasy]

Playstation is the home of jrpgs

[Platinum_Fan]

Most of the games people listed above me are games I'm interested in, but I'd like to add Little Witch Academia. That game looks awesome, Dragons Crown combat with a fun story based on the anime, yes please!

Some of my top Japanese games Dragon Quest XI, Little Witch Academia, and Ni No Kuni 2 and Code Vein, Yakuza 6 off the top of my head.

[Rangerman1208]

Yeah, Little Witch Academia looks pretty good. Though, I hope Banco can give justice to the source material. A lot of anime games from Bandai Namco ranges from "great" to "eh...".

[Segata]

I'm excited for Cybersleuth Hackers Memory,Ni No Kuni II,Lost Sphear,Dragon Quest XI,VC4, Project Octopath, Radiant Historia, SMTV(?) Man my PS4 and Switch will be busy on that genre alone.

[FallenAngel1984]

Every year is great for RPGs

[FallenAngel1984]

There have been plenty of awesome RPGs on consoles even before 2015

[FallenAngel1984]

This list begs to differ

[WelkinCole]

VC4 is going to be bonkers

[alexgibson]

Some good looking games here!

[Bleucrunch]

I can honestly say I will purchase all of these titles. The items that are multiplat I will get for the switch because playing RPG's while on the train going to work makes for a wonderful train ride.

Square Enix has sooo much making up to do for allowing over a decade to pass for a new Kingdom Hearts. I want this Kingdom Hearts to be at least 40 hours but have Elder scrolls side missions....2018 Seems like a good year for RPG's.
