Bitmob: In his second buyers' guide for RPG haters, Brian Shirk has a few more JRPG suggestions for people who are open-minded enough to try a genre they don't normally like.
Are you excited for the forthcoming Visions of Mana? This retrospective of the Mana series will tell you all about the franchise thus far.
After 20 long years, can Square Enix finally give us the coveted cover-art version of the game?
I'm still waiting for a proper Final Fantasy game that looks exactly like Yoshitaka Amano's art. Dissidia proved how ridiculously amazing that would look like but it was still not close enough. They need to go for broke on Amano's art style and design.
I don't care if it's a remake of 5 or 6 or a new entry, just make it happen at some point in this life time SquareEnix...
Secret of Mana recently turned 30 years old in Japan, and to celebrate this seminal action RPG's anniversary, Alana of Nintendo Life is reminiscing about how the game's use of colour inspired a fascination with RPG worlds...
These games are still great for JRPG lovers, too :)
Oh man, these are some great picks. I'm no fan of JRPGs, but I enjoyed the hell out of Secret of Mana and Half-Minute Hero.
I am adding all of these to my list.
Half-Minute Hero honestly does not appeal to me, but I like the rest of the picks.
Great list idea.
There should be lists like this for any type of genre hater.
