Whenever I am done with all of the Souls games, I’m going to start the (early) Year of JRPGs!
-
@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?
