Resonance of Fate's ideal audience is hardcore veterans of the genre who want an unapologetically intricate challenge. They'll want to jump right into RoF's rocky waters and will likely love it. In fact, JRPG fan who wants a consuming and lengthy challenge may adore the game. Anyone coming off the far player-friendlier Final Fantasy XIII, or most contemporary role-playing games, will be left frustrated and bored. There's hours of adventure awaiting the most ardent of JRPG fans, but everyone else is better suited investing 60 hours elsewhere.
Many overlooked RPGs lie dormant in the catalogues of gaming, but players can pick up their swords and shields with these amazing JRPG hidden gems!
From Xfire: "The golden era of JRPGs has long since passed, with more traditional RPGs having planted themselves firmly under the spotlight for the better part of the past two decades. However, while there's not been as many JRPG games released in recent years, there's still enough of them being released that results in certain titles slipping under the proverbial radar."
Highly recommended if you like FF Tactics. I believe it was Colin Moriarty's (Last Stand Media) GOTY last year.
Most of these are the weak story jrpgs which is why its an easy pass for myself. I don't have love to turn based or tactics battles systems but I enjoy the other aspects of jrpgs. The most important aspect to me is the story. I have put up with playing horrible battle systems and mini games that should never exist to enjoy the lengthy and amazing stories these games have. For some reason around the PS3 days they seemed to think, who cares about story just worry about battle system and crafting. So if those are the things you're looking for then this list is for you.
I’ve been trying to get back into playing JRPGs lately. With the recent release of Persona 5 Strikers, I finally decided to start playing Royal. I don’t know if I can make the time for just any JRPG though, and Persona games are always an experience and a half.
Arc System Works announced today that Resonance of Fate 4K/HD Edition will be getting a physical release in Asian territories starting this December.
very memorable game for me last generation. nothing will ever beat the ps360wii era for me
Indeed it was, it was better game that Resonance and Remnant imo. Square has struggled to make a AAA game of that caliber since. The IP needs to be sold, then again I can say that of any square franchise that isn't Romance Saga, Final Fantasy, or Dragon Quest.
So the game is considered a fail because it doesn't appease to casuals? The hell kinda of review is this? They even state this is an amazing game within its genre and lovers of the genre will find plenty to like....and they give it a 2/5? Someone was stupid drunk/high reviewing this. They put that dumb Halo kid over at G4 to review this? Probably got 1 hour in and then had to go play Halo 3 in his moms basement with some chips and dip.
Fail review that doesn't stay remotely consistent to what it is stating as back up for the score.
lol this is a good example of why reviews dont matter
