What JRPG's will you play this month? What games did you finish last month?
My next game i start will be Star Ocean First Departure R. And if i finsih that game fast enough i probably play either Persona 4 Golden or a rerun of Nier Replicant.
I also still play Final Fantasy XVI and Soulhackers 2 occasionally, because it's hard for me to finish these game.
Last month in only finisehd redemption reapers.
What do you intend to play?
Between Baldur's Gate 3, Starfield, and the Cyberpunk 2077 updates, I didn't finish any JRPGs last month and I'm not sure if I will this month either. I picked up Baten Kaitos Origins briefly but wasn't in love with it. Had fun with the battle system, even if it did have kind of a Guitar Hero/DDR feel where I was concentrating so much on one part of the screen that everything else was periphery. Hated the dungeon design.
I also tried The Legend of Nayuta and it didn't click with me. This game came out in my favorite Falcom era for soundtracks (roughly 2009-2014) and the voice actor for the main character is one of my favorites, but that hasn't been enough yet. It feels like other games (even of its time) did this kind of gameplay much better. It almost has a Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin vibe, and I couldn't even make it very far in that one. Doesn't bode well. Fortunately, Nayuta seems like it'll be the kind of game that's very easy to drop and pick up, so maybe I'll end up doing that.
I started Xenosaga Episode 1 about a week ago, so I guess Ill count that as October. Never played it before, but so far its a very rough experience. The story is interesting, but I've had to resort to save states due to how often long cutscenes occur and how often game-overs will force you to rewatch all those cutscenes.
Regarding games I have finished, none of them were JRPGs.
Update (two weeks after this post was made): I have now quit XenoSaga. The gameplay is bad. DOMO carrier fight sucked, but the Gargoyle is where I draw the line.
I've been trying to play either Chrono Trigger or Golden Sun on my Steam Deck using an emulator, but I'm having trouble. The A and B buttons are reversed by default on the app I'm using and get reset every time I launch the app. It's not a huge deal but for some reason I just can't get my brain past it.
I've looked for ways to change the default but all the online threads I find essentially just say "suck it up"
Ohh i feel with you. Usualy i rather play on consoles, just turn something on and it works. So my experience with emulators is rather bad and therefore when i use a emulator, i do something wrong or have for whatever reason a rather bad experience. Of course it's a exaggeration, but sadly the annoying moments stay in my head.
Yeah... Golden Sun I'm not as worried about - I've played that game to 100% at least a dozen times in my life. However, I've never actually played Chrono Trigger through to completion - I'll have to see about getting the Steam version. I can't see why it wouldn't run well on the steam deck
Would Nier Replicant be a JRPG? Cuz that's what I started playing last night since it's on PS+. I want to play the first one, but I'm not sure if I would like it so here I am checking out the prequel for "free."
Yes it's a jrpg. enjoy the wonderful story
I'm going to play Bravely Default. Again.
Do you know if the Bravely games (Default, Default II and second) are connected or seperate games? I'm just curious if i find time for one game, i'm eager to play all of them because of a connected story or if i'm not trapped in that.
Haven't played BD2 but Bravely Default and Bravely Second are connected.
Default and Second are connected. 2 if... Not good.
Octopath Traveler 2. Finished four of the character stories and don't lack much on the others. Still a ton of side quests to check.
Last month, I finally got around to playing SaGa Frontier. It's been in my Steam Library for some time, but I was busy with several other games (mostly Metroidvanias). Overall, SaGa Frontier is my 4th favorite SaGa game. I didn't find the individual storylines in the game to be as compelling as Romancing SaGa 2 and 3, and the graphics weren't that great in my opinion (much prefer the graphics in SaGa Scarlet Grace).
For this month, I'm replaying Trials of Mana. Gonna try out some different party combinations that I did not try the last time I played the game, which was about a year ago.
Baten Kaitos! I never finished the game on GameCube back in the day, and never got to play origins. I’m looking forward to finally finishing the story.
Is fantasy life a jrpg? I picked it back up after not playing for a while and I'm having a blast. I regret not having bought the dlc before the store closed however :(
I really don't know, but i'm not that strict. Seems it has mixed gameplay elements and some of them are rpg elements. Have fun with it.
