From Xfire: "Complex worlds, characters with rich personalities, and the whole saving the world shebang are all some of the common ingredients of a memorable JRPG. Japanese RPGs, or JRPGs for short, have long held the reins of their own niche within the greater RPG genre because they bring a different type of immersiveness that don’t normally come with traditional role-playing games. If you’re even the slightest bit familiar with the notoriously common JRPG trope: ‘village youth discovers his true destiny to defeat evil overlord and save the world’, you probably already have an inkling of what we’re talking about."
Call of Duty: Mobile’s new NieR: Automata crossover launches with Season 5: Primal Reckoning, with new skins and weapons to grind for.
Discover 10 timeless video games from the past that remain absolutely playable today. From Chrono Trigger to DOOM, these classics have aged like fine wine!
Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
Yuji Horii may have accidentally confirmed a Chrono Trigger remake at Comicon in Naples. Eyewitness accounts suggest the beloved JRPG could be returning in HD-2D form.
So many people want HD2D, but I agree 100%. Chrono Trigger is in my top 3 of all-time. I want to see what this could be like re-imagined in full 3D. The sprites look good enough in the original, in my opinion. What would be amazing, is if they just went for both haha. Give us the HD2D to tide us over while they work on the full remake.
I'm still skeptical of HD-2D, and still want them to fix remaining foibles in the current Steam version. At any rate I've been seeing online that this rumour has been debunked
I would jump for a remake of Chrono Trigger then hopefully a remake of Chrono Cross. I wish Xenogears and the Xenosaga trilogy also got a remake or a remaster.
I am surprised it hasn’t been done already. It’s widely considered as one of the best RPGs all time. I’ll take it for sure. I want a Vagrant Story remake as well
Legend Of Dragoon does this for me hands down. There is so much lore in the game it's ridiculous, and I always go back to playing it every year. Such an amazing game.
I wouldn't really put kingdom hearts in there. It has lore but not necessarily "good" lore. The plot was way too drawn out and ended up being a mediocre final act, mostly a jumble of ideas with a bunch of patched up holes at best.
Legend of Heroes and YS deserved to be here
Xeno series has probably much deeper lore than all of those combined.
