I got these 2 games from the 2ndhand market. Blue Reflection was an impulse buy, but there's so few people selling here that I decided to grab it. It has terrible reviews! I haven't even once seen a good review of it, but I like to collect games. Tokyo Mirage is an exclusive and a crossover of and . Couldn't pass the opportunity to get it, but I haven't seen a lot of love for it either.

These days as well. I love seeing series blossom. Atelier, Monster Hunter, Earth Defense Force, Yakuza, etc.
They all have grown so much in popularity over the past decade and I love it.

Hopefully Gundam Breaker 4 can do that as well this year.
And I still feel bad about incredible games that didn’t get the chance.
Toukiden Kiwami, Tearaway, Soul Sacrifice Delta… 😭

@OutofPrintArchive @helligbird yeah that's why I'm always banging on about certain games that I really like, I want other people to play them! Then if they're successful they'll hopefully make more... Hopefully I can convince other people to take a chance on a game that I think they'll like

eg. Rain Code, Unicorn Overlord

As I near the end of Chained Echoes the question starts to become, “what’s next?” — so many to choose from on !!!

Here’s part of my research list.

@renwillis - gasp! So much good stuff! Xenoblade 1 is extraordinary, West of Loathing same but utterly different (and hilarious).

Will anyone else bring playing #Grandia for the #VideoGameClub in January? I've been reading about it and it sounds quite charming. I played a lot of RPGs during the PSX days, but this was one I bounced off.

@WanderingInDigitalWorlds I was turned off from it 20+ years ago by the voice acting and anime art (which was new to me). I never thought about going back to it, but it gets so much glowing love that I've been convinced to try again.

@scribblemacher I think it was the cliché that drove me off more than anything...A story similar to everything that I experienced up until that point.

As I never heard of Grandia until the remaster was released in the USA in 2019. The glut of samey stories just wore me out, which was sad as I do love the anime aesthetic in games.

4 & 5. and , to represent classic , capable of delivering all sorts of narratives -- the lighthearted, the heartwarming, the serious, the heroic, and the tragic

  1. , to represent the joy of exploration and all the intricately detailed game worlds out there, in the genre and beyond

  2. , to represent the brilliance of more recent , as well as the musical and storytelling genius of games

  3. , to remind us that even seemingly simple little games can be fun and full of heart

9 & 10.
, to represent the great games that continue tradition in both style and substance

@RatsAmassing I've been testing out different emulators on my Steam Deck but I've kept coming back to play PS1 games like Star Ocean Second Story and Suikoden

@sickday I've heard the Steam Deck is a great emulation powerhouse. I definitely want to get one myself. Perhaps in the next iteration of it. A friend of mine has been playing the new SO. I plan to play 1-3 eventually as I've heard those games are great.

Ice,

What is a JRPG with a good amount of late game content? Like FFX
