Toby @ FG: The Tales Of series is 25 this year, but are all the retrospectives building up to something?
Final Fantasy XVI is a thrilling action-heavy spin on the RPG formula, and other JRPGs like Tales of Arise and NieR:Automata are just as exciting.
I'd say try one of the older final fantasy games. 6, 7, or 9. That's final fantasy at its best.
I would agree with you. but 16 is nothing like those.
Whoever liked 16 probably wont like turn based probably, gameplay is too much of a departure from older games
Dynasty Warriors , because they like mashing the X button to exhaustion. (any of them - they're all basically the same w minor tweaks) If FFXVI can be considered a jrpg, then so can Dynasty Warriors. You get XP, level up, and it was made in Japan. These are the prerequisites that people argued here were the only thing needed to make a jrpg. So who knows? 🤷
**But seriously, I would say the Tales Series. I really liked Tales of Arise... some people don't. The stories are hit and miss sometimes, but I still enjoy them to some extent. Tales of Berseria is good if you like a darker story. There's a bit more typical JRPG tactics and ability utilization aside from the action focus of the game.
My apologies - I actually hate the Dynasty Warriors series, I wouldn't really recommend it. I was just trying to make a point. 😂
Not necessarily. Personally, I like turn based and I also like live action, both contingent on it being done right.
Road to Zanarkand holds a special place in my memories. Haven't played it for probably 15 years but Auron was 👌 Awesome music and story.
Ahhh your speaking my language!!!
Auron is my fav FF character, I just thought he was so dam boss when I was younger hahaha
Any Tales games even the ones before Arise, Trails games are also good, so are the Y's games.
Hopefully the next Ys game gets localized sooner than later. It’s due out in Japan in September but no word for the rest of the world yet.
Tales of Arise is one of the best JRPGs I've played in recent memory... absolutely masterful
Played pretty much all of the big ones so mine will be Atelier Marie remake 😂 ill need something relaxing after 2 playthroughs of FFXVI
Cyberpunk 2077 next for me together with FFXIV online, which will take me like forever.
Tales of Destiny 3
I would love some collections of older titles. A PC/Console port of Tales of Innocence would also be very nice.
A new Ridge racer would be great, PS5 please.
Tekken 8 please without any of the over the top crazy guest characters. Tekken doesn't need the Walking Dead tv show characters. And it doesn't need Robocop or Terminator lol
Tales of Arise
