Whenever I am done with all of the Souls games, I’m going to start the (early) Year of JRPGs!
-
@[email protected] When you say you've already got Persona covered, does that only include Persona itself, or SMT in general? Cause there are several games I'd recommend from Persona's parent franchise, if you haven't played those.
-
@fujiwara Atelier Ryza has been one of my favourite games this year. It took a little time to get used to the systems (like any new JRPG), but the game loop was huge fun.
-
@coffeentacos love them!
-
@rei I’ve played SMT3, 4, and 5 but that’s it. I’ll add Fire Emblem to the list though! :ElainaWink:
-
@BongoMcnulty I’ve been interested in trying it out for a while! Just kept putting it off for some reason…
-
@fujiwara Blue Reflection 1 and 2 then! Magical girl RPGs where you get more powerful through the power of friendship!
Also highly recommend Caligula Effect 2
-
@coffeentacos I’ll add Blue Reflection to my wishlist :btr_kikuri_thumbsup: unfortunately Steam said that I’m not old enough to look at Caligula Effect on the store, so I guess I’ll check it out when I turn 27.
-
@fujiwara thankfully BR has been going on sale a bit more recently. There was a period of several years where it remained at full price
-
@coffeentacos It’s actually on sale right now so I might just go ahead and pick it up… :ChikaHappy:
-
@fujiwara @coffeentacos Ooh, did not know Blue Reflection was on sale finally, time to pick that up.
I'll add another one to the list: Xuan-Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1638230/XuanYuan_Sword_Mists_Beyond_the_Mountains/
(technically this is Chinese and not a JRPG, but, it fits, and the Chinese RPG scene has some really good games -- almost all unlocalized)
-
@stoppableforce @fujiwara Xuan-Yuan is a series I’ve got on my to-play list.
One caveat I’ll give with BR, the first in particular, is it can be a bit fan servicey. Second Light is far less so, and overall the better game but I quite like both.
-
@coffeentacos @stoppableforce Looks interesting, I’ll check it out :ChikaDetective2:
-
@coffeentacos @stoppableforce A little fan service never hurt me :kagami_laugh:
-
@[email protected] If you like worldbuilding + don't mind playing games that usually come in a pair to get maximum story payoff, Trails series! Keep in mind that the first 3 games are pretty dated, but there's a remake being released next year.
-
@unfresh Which do I start with?
