Hi!

I love JRPGs with all of my being!

I talk about them here, as well as other Video Games and occasionally other bits of media, and probably repost lots of things I like!
Favorite RPG series that aren't Final Fantasy

Breath of Fire
SaGa
Atelier
Suikoden

I really wanted to include Chrono, but it has three games, one is a visual novel, and as much as I love Cross it also makes upset in equal measure.

If you see this, quote this post with the last 4 games you played!

I've been in a very particular mood...

Weirdly, I like most things- just a lot of the specific choices were of some of the few things I don't like. I suspect most of these would be more filled out normally.

I don't care how 'classy' lobster or caviar is, I hate how it tastes.

Secret of Mana. Yes, I am aware how hot a take that is.

It's tedious, unbalanced, and honestly just incredibly slow. It feels like such a slog to play. I've tried several times.
❗️HATER CHECKPOINT❗️

you have reached the hater checkpoint. please respond with the worst games on this wikipedia page. i’m going for a nap and won’t be checking the replies for at least a few hours:

My PlayStation nerd shows really hard here.

I'd argue that Ehrgeiz might deserve it but is still fun, and Koudelka is flawed but stands above its own shortcomings with some of the best character writing I've seen in any JRPG.

The other two are just stellar to me.

I mainly play RPGs and the N64 didn't have any of note, so the PlayStation was an easy choice.

No, Quest 64 is not 'of note'. People are free to like it but I found it tedious.

All of this. I love this series, but RS3 is honestly a little frustrating to play, moreso than any of the others...

Except the OG SaGa 3, because it's the only one I've played in zero capacity.

Yes, I am including Unlimited Saga. It's rough but interesting and the music is stellar.
Every time I play Romancing SaGa 3 I put together a little bit more and start to understand things a little better. But damn if it isn't exhausting. I'm really grateful for the remakes 1 and 2 have gotten and hope 3 gets the same treatment someday.

I mainly play video games, but truthfully I dabble in most forms of media to some degree...

That said, there's several that aren't selected I just didn't get far in. A lot of Anime bounces right off of me. The ones I enjoy, I love, but most of those are too old to be here.

As a JRPG fan I need everyone to understand: not every criticism/disinterest against JRPGs stems from racism.

1 year and 185 days of asking @capcomusa.com to release a collection or remakes/remaster of Breath of Fire games, 1 to 5 on PS5/Switch 2/Xbox/Steam. Yay for GOG.com for BoF IV on PC! Now we need the consoles to get the joy.

honestly the framing and debate around clair obscur: expedition 33 is so bizarre. it's an incredible game, yes, but it didn't "save" turn-based JRPGs because those never needed saving in the first place.

A great JRPG for adults is whichever JRPG the adult reading this enjoys playing.

I can name more than 5 JRPGs that aren't Yakuza LAD that do not have the "standard cast of tedious teenagers":

Final Fantasy 7
Wild Arms 3
Valkyrie Profile
Star Ocean: Till The End Of Time
Persona 2 Eternal Punishment
Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey
Koudelka
And, funnily enough, Paper Mario TTYD
i keep waking up to shit like this

honestly the "I'm glad they made this JRPG good by not having teen characters" is something I've grown to not really even understand now that I'm well into my adult years, because it's not like they're written like teenagers or deal with teenage problems most of the time

Final Fantasy moments you never forget

"People die, and Yuna dances. When will she stop dancing?"

FFX had an amazing central conceit and it deserves better

You know, I've heard a lot of arguments for and against modern Final Fantasy not being turn-based.

What I want to know is, with Square so in on Action RPGs, where the fuck is our Brave Fencer Musashi remaster?

Been seeing this going around, and thought I'd give it a go.

Day 1: Battle Arena Toshinden for the Playstation 1.

It was a mediocre fighting game, but the colorful characters captured my imagination and got me hooked. One of the first fully 3D fighters, it definitely set the stage for better games
