Game Critics: A number of my friends wondered why Sega chose to release Resonance of Fate so close to Final Fantasy XIII. At the time it seemed plausible that they were being ballsy, or even overconfident, firm in their belief that a new property could take on the Japanese role-playing game (JRPG) juggernaut.
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."
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
Can someone please explain to me why jrpg's always get bashed for having cliche characters and stories?
Every freaking FPS available either features some faceless army sergeant or a space marine, they never seem to get trounced though.
The double standard and hypocrisy is amazing.
Is there a game this guys enjoy??
Alan Wake - 6.5/10
Heavy Rain - 4/10
Mass Effect 2 - 7.5/10
Killzone 2 - 7/10
Assasins Creed 2 - 5.5/10
Giving Lowers scores to great titles, is the oldest trick in th book for Cheap Hits.
I prefer JRPGs to WRPGs, because I don't like decisions effecting a game. I'm perfectly fine with how it used to be, take FFVII for example. You would occasionally have a couple of choices for a response, and I enjoyed that immensely.
Give me a great story with well developed characters any day of the week.
True, the genre has its cliches, but every genre does.
Must be an Edge Magazine Review. Oh wait....
