Translation from a post at ResetEra, slight modifications/formatting by me....

Anyone playing Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes? I just finished it on PC with an SSD and the option to turn the aggressive depth of field off. I hear the Switch and PS4 versions are kinda rough....

I think that are very great news. Everyone should be able to play their games regardless of the plattform. Square Enix is one of the biggest publisher of jrpg’s, with a lot brands that are often exclusive to ps (FF16, FF7, Forspoken) or sometimes to switch as well (Octopath traveler, Triangle strategy). It kind of frustrate me...

I’ve been playing Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, and the Suikoden vibe is completely there. I loved that game world, its mythos, the soft connections between the games. It contributed to the inspirational vibe, too....

After a fast and furious few months to start the year, the release schedule is starting to slow down a bit before it picks up again later in the year. We also have the expanded Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance and Trails through Daybreak on the horizon....

I think most of us play JRPG’s only once, often for the story as well. But are there games for you you already have played a few times and could start that any time?...

Depending on the system you download the demo, you are able to play different protagonist storylienes....

Xenoblade Chronicles has been one of the broadly popular JRPG series as of late, particularly within my own social circles. I have heard mostly good things about the games, and some vocal criticisms about the second game in particular. After finally picking up a Switch last year, I have now made my way through most of the...

What’s the most recent JRPG you played that really amazed you? Something that would end up in your top 10, or otherwise blew you away.

I read currently a lot about monster catching/raising games. Next week is Pokemon day with new announcements, we get new Tem Tem content and there is a hype game we probably all have heared from. Monster farming, fight and hunting is not new for jrpg’s. With Pokemon and Dragon Quest, there are two franchises with a long...

I haven’t played a lot of gacha, with most of my time in the genre being spent in Final Fantasy Record Keeper a while back. There wasn’t much story in that one. It was essentially a JRPG combat machine (specifically in the classic ATB style) with collectible characters. I had a good time with it, but I didn’t find it...

I replayed Xenogears last year. While it remains one of my favorites, I was surprised at how much more I enjoyed the infamous Disc 2 this time around. Yes, it’s a condensed version of what we could have had, but there are still some great story beats and really touching scenes in there. Meanwhile, the gameplay throughout the...

The school answers for Persona 3 Reload are different from it’s previous games, so here is a guide for the school answers of the remake. Please tell me if something is missing or wrong....

Lost Odyssey is a JRPG that started as a collaboration between Final Fantasy grandfather Hironobu Sakaguchi’s independent studio Mistwalker and Microsoft for the Xbox 360. With a script written by Sakaguchi himself, it’s a by-the-numbers entry in the genre but with an inspired idea to insert a collection of short stories...

I thought about this when i played Soulhackers 2. That dungeon design was boring and very horrible in execution. I hate teleporters in any game and for some reason the radomized Mementos in Persona 5 doesn’t annoy me as much as the soulhackers 2 equivalent. I’m know what i don’t like, but i’m not completly sure what...

Do we have fans here of the mother franchise? Seems they will do something special to celebrate mother 2 (source). What would you like to see according to mother 2?

Soon we reach 2024 and i wish you the best for the new year. I think there are some interresting game annoynced for 2024. So what jrpg’s, regardless of old or new, do you plan to play?

I already read, that people think 2023 was not the stronges year for this genre. But maybe you have still something that surprises you in a positive way or you play and older game again?

A half month ago i ask, what’s the Best turn baesd battle system. While turn based battle system are very typical for rpg’s, action system could be used in different franchises. So the best action battle system is probably not part of a jrpg. But i think there are some action system, that are a bit more creative than these...

I saw a few of you want to buy the new dragon quest monsters game. Would be nice if you share your first opinion of that game. Please stay spoiler free or mark them properly.

December is probably the month the most jrpg franchises have their beginning, at least a lot. Do you maybe choose to play one of those?
