Chrono, FF9, Legend of Dragoon, Persona 4, Pokémon Gold

ColonelHugh3328d ago

I love your list, those games are close to my heart, but I would personally change a few for my own list.

Persona 4 really is very very good, but I'd replace it with P3FES, as I thought it was more difficult, engaging, and intriguing than 4, even though P4 improved on some much needed areas like combat AI and pacing.

I'm not sure I would say FF9 over some of the others, but then again any of the Final Fantasy series from that era had similar qualities to one another.

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with Pokemon, it just isn't a JRPG.

I would use its place for Dragon Quest V. (Or maybe VIII)

DarXyde3329d ago

I'm here because the thumbnail is Persona 4.

I will definitely agree on that much.

Seraphim3329d ago

& Lost Odyssey. Probably two of the best I've played since VII. Course Eternal Sonata, SMT Nocturne, Disgaea 3, Star Ocean TTOT, and so many others were great.

Anyway top 5 lists are moronic. As if you can clearly place five of any games in one genre above all others. Better off making a top 10-20 with no ranking. Top 20 must play JRPGS or something. 2 cents.

thorstein3329d ago

All that and Dragon Quest!

The only thing worth mentioning about it is the gorgeous art style and music. Everything else, from the characters to the story, is painfully mediocre.

Why all four Xenoblade Chronicles games need Nintendo Switch 2 Editions

NE: "We look at each Xenoblade Chronicles game's performance on Nintendo Switch and how each one would be impacted by a Switch 2 Edition or patch."

What makes it even sadder is that if you jailbreak your Switch 1, it actually runs those games better than the Switch 2. Since you can, on the fly, change the rendering resolution and overclock the device to handle it.

I’m currently playing Xenoblade X like that and it’s great, no FPS drops, and even in handheld mode, the game looks very clear. Though, I have to say, I’m still a bit divided on whether I like or dislike the changes they made from the Wii U version. On one hand, everything looks cleaner and the models feel more alive, but on the other hand, it looks less unique.

Zeldafan6454d ago (Edited 54d ago )

Saying X looks less unique is not something I ever expected to read. I think the character models look quite a bit better in the Switch version (not that I thought they looked bad in the Wii U version). The world and monster design are some of the best I've ever seen in video games though I'll still give a slight edge to Xenoblade 2's world design. Leftherian Archipelago is my favorite location in any video game from a visual standpoint followed closely by endgame of Xenoblade 1.

If you think the Switch version models look unique, I have dozens of anime titles to sell to you.

Zeldafan6451d ago

I was talking about the world and monster design being unique, not the character models. Guess I should have made that clearer.

You can thank FF7 scaring Baldur's Gate 2's director 'S***less' for every RPG since

But BG2 didn't emerge in a vacuum, and in a recent chat with Slandered Gaming it emerged that—while we can thank BG2 for a lot of our favourite RPGs since—we have a whole other game to thank for BG2. That'd be Final Fantasy 7, which lit a fire under BG2 director James Ohlen to go all out with the game's structure and companions, per Trent Oster—who worked on the original Baldur's Gate and has since become CEO of Beamdog, the studio behind the BG1 and BG2 Enhanced Editions.

A remake or even a modern port would do since it is one of the best games all time. Can’t believe it’s been 30 years since I first played it

Azurite78d ago

It's on Steam, don't think they'll have another port unless it's a remake.

Yasunori Mitsuda is a talented composer I love the music both from Chrono Trigger, Xenogears. I will always enjoy Nobuo Uematsu as well. I would love to have seen the Chrono Trigger concert live.

SoloGamer177d ago

gold_drake77d ago
