If there’s one thing that’s become less common in recent years, it’s the traditional RPG. Turn-based combat has been overshadowed by more real-time action series, so when a title like Radiant Historia comes along and manages to make it work in a unique way, it gets some attention. Originally released seven years ago, Radiant Historia made its mark by building upon the basics of turn based combat and turning it into a grand new idea. Perfect Chronology is a return to this original concept that holds true to what made it stand out.
Daav from NoobFeed writes - Nintendo has announced that both the 3DS and Wii U eShops are on the way out. Though the company preempts the news by saying that downloads will still work "for the foreseeable future," that message also implies that your games will disappear at some point. We've enabled consumption at our fingertips, which companies have gladly used to erode the terms of game ownership. As always, convenience comes at a much higher cost down the road and, well, that time has come
"We rediscover one of the better RPGs of the past 10 years".
Twinfinite WRites: The 2010s have been a revitalization for the JRPG genre, so with the decade ending we take a look at the defining games of the genre.
There is absolutely nothing defining about dragon age XI. It was a good game but didn't do anything new or substantial for the genre....as well as most of the games on this list.
It's just every JRPG cliche in one game with boring combat. There are many better JRPGS than it
Anime characters, mechs (maybe) same character types, etc. You could almost take a few games at random and switch the characters around and it would be the same.
NPCs are crap. The ones in Persona 5 might as well not exist. The character animations are crap too.
I played through both Xenoblade and Fire Emblem Awakening recently and they are amazing games
I played every game on the list and can't argue that each is awesome. I might have added FFXV somewhere but that is a personal preference.
Xenoblade Chronicles needs a graphical upgrade. The limitations of the Wii really show. Xenoblade Chronicles X, looked and played fantastic on Wii U. I picked up The OG Xenoblade Chronicles, after playing X on Wii U. I just couldn't get over the blurriness of the OG.
You're in luck, it's getting one on Switch next year. And they're adding unfinished content from the original game.
