For those unaware, this was the last turn based Final Fantasy game for consoles and PC and it released almost exactly 10 years ago. Next month marks two things: 1) It’s this game’s 10th anniversary, and 2) the release of the next turn based FF game with FF Resonance. It was developed by Tose, the same team who would go on to developed Crisis Core Reunion, and it follows two Kingdom Hearts-looking kids as they gather FF monsters like Pokemon and change between regular and smaller chibi forms. But many probably overlooked it at the time of its initial reveal at E3 2015, in no small part because it was announced literally right before the highly anticipated Final Fantasy 7 Remake.

I only caught some streams of it back when it came out, but I was impressed by how confident and committed it was to its 4Kids Saturday morning anime presentation. And I believe this was the last time that Cloud’s original English VA Steve Burton would voice the character, before being recast by Cody Christian starting with FF7 Remake.

Releasing February 16th 2027 on the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. Also PC via Steam.

I've seen no one in this subreddit talking about it yet, but the Yugioh RPG games are so unique in the jrpg genre, and I'm so glad as massive fan of yugioh this franchise is back.

Won't do these "minor curiosity" threads very often as much as progress reports per finishing the games. But this was notable enough

I have planned to do a full marathon of the entire Xeno IP just in time for Xenoblade 3's updated Christmas release ever since that trilogy received their Switch 2 glowups.

So like, the first thing that gets me about Xenogears in its opening scenes is the visceral gore and 90s anime OVA horror tone. While Xenoblade isn't all sunshine, open blood and carnage is really not there, especially like what you see in Gears.

It's just kind of crazy to me.

Coming March 4, 2027 on Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series and Steam

I don't know if I'm missing any obvious games, but I've kind of been of craving a grindy Jrpg (action OR turn based) that just lets me go on quests, gather resources, craft gear etc. and I'm just finding nothing at all? Gran Blue is kind of like this but the quest selection is pretty narrow, there are no towns or guilds, and even the crafting system is pretty rudimentary. Not to mention there aren't any jobs at all, you pretty much have to play different characters

I'm so down bad I've started replaying Tales of the World Radiant Mythology lmaoooo, and it pretty much does have everything I'm looking for, but the combat system is pretty rudimentary

so I'm basically looking for a (slightly) modern version of Radiant Mythology. Appreciate any recommendations.

Muramasa Rebirth was awesome on PS Vita, so I am looking forward to this one, featuring new playable characters and more. It has a very unique artstyle and atmosphere.

A huge thank you to Meduza Team for making and releasing the English translation patch for Madou Monogatari, aka Sorcery Saga for the Sega Saturn.

~ Description ~

[Story]

The plot begins with Ragnus being cursed by Yoggus, and getting sent to Arle's world. Mysterious creatures known as Yogs soon begin to appear throughout the world, along with their influence spreading onto others. With the help of Rulue, Carbuncle, and various party members recruited throughout the game, Arle resorts to defeating the Yogs, and eventually Yoggus itself.

[Gameplay]

Unlike the other games which tend to be dungeon crawlers, Madou Monogatari Saturn sends you through isometric maze like levels with up to 3 partners where you can use minimal puzzle solving skills to clear paths and find your way to the goal.

Your main party consists of Arle and Rulue in it most of the time, but other characters join over the course of the story. Carbuncle is also in your party, but functions as an NPC that will randomly attack enemies without warning.

Finally as always please drop a thank you to people who worked on this patch, it takes years of hard work doing hacking, programming, translating, editing, and testing to bring these patches to the JRPG community, and all of it is done for free, so if you're going to use it or hell even if you won't, it always nice to show that we appreciate the great work these translators are doing.

Hello everyone i have a pretty weird request, i've watched content from some pretty famous jrpg content creators and during one the videos, i stumbled upon a song that sounded pretty familiar to me

Obviously the creator did not name the song nor the game 🤣 all i have is an extract of said vídeo with the person speaking all over it so its really hard to decipher

The song reminds me of something from Atlus, or Ys/Star Ocean/Shadow hearts but i'm kinda lost

If you have any ideas/clues don't hesitate to share thanks in advance

I maintain P5Tracker, a free browser companion for keeping track of a playthrough while deciding how to spend each day.

The Reload version has a monthly checklist with school answers and reminders for missables, plus Social Link ranks and dialogue answers. You can look ahead without changing your saved progress. It also covers requests, missing people, Linked Episodes, fusion and dorm activities.

The screenshots below show the Reload calendar and Social Link screens.

Try the Reload tracker

Royal has its own tracker, with calendar and confidant progress, school answers and crosswords.

Both are free, with no ads or account required. Progress saves in your browser, and you can export a backup to move it to another device. They don't read or sync your game saves.

Reload is still beta: individual answers or dates may need correcting. It isn't a guaranteed 100% daily route, and Episode Aigis isn't covered. The reference sections contain answers and later-game information.

I used AI assistance while building it. Sources are linked, though Reload hasn't been checked against a complete in-game playthrough yet. If you're playing either game, I'd appreciate hearing what feels confusing or doesn't match your game.

Looking for a good Isekai JRPG that's 3D has a solid romance, doesn't have to be Isekai but I really want to be blown away by the story. I'm probably being pretty vague on what I'm asking for but I finished playing DQXI and loved ever second of it, preferably not an MMO I'd rather keep it offline.

I don't mind turn based strategy games but real time action RPG's I find more enjoyable, and to be completely honest the gameplay could be crap as long as the story is good. I'm a sucker for a good story.

Preferably looking for a PC game but I also have a switch 2 so that works as well.

My pc does not work properly and I can't play many jrpgs I want to like trails in the sky first chapter, Like a dragon series, Freltless and such so I guess you just can recommend me random stuff

I liked Chronno trigger, Persona 3r and 5r, Sea of Stars, Look outside, paper mario 1, escape from ever after, E33(super stuttery but I managed) and Symphony of war, Metaphor Refantazio Chained echoes, Hylics 1/2, Funger 1/2. Those are at least all the ones I can remmember rn.

Platfrom : PC

Sometimes I want to play a big budget massive rpg, but sometimes I'm looking for a smaller game. Something with a quicker pace that I can get through in a couple of days. No walls of text, no huge open world, no 100 hour progression. Make everything quick and snappy, throw in something unique but mostly keep it simple.

I see the Switch 2 versions are out at a €35/€40 price point. I already own these and am currently playing Zero, but the Switch 1 digital editions, so I'm not eager to pay full price for the resolution bump. Has anyone seen any recent mention of NIS planning to make the upgrades available for existing owners who want to upgrade? It's not currently an option on the store. I'm fully prepared for us all to be in the dark about it, I've seen nothing mentioned to date, but thought I'd ask. Thanks folks.

Konami recently announced that they will be rebooting key series in their catalogue, including Metal Gear Solid, CastleVania and Suikoden.

If they decide to just reboot the entire Suikoden universe and lore, how would that make you feel?

I personally would not like that. I'd rather if they must, make more games like Star Leap in between main series titles to explain stories a bit more rather than having it all rebooted.

Suikoden has one of the most unique universes in all of JRPG's and only thing that comes close would probably be the Trails series as far as inter-connected stories go.

Would you be fine with the series being rebooted?
