2024 has been an absolutely INSANE year for JRPGs. But is it already the best year the genre has ever seen? In this video I'll talk about everything that's come out and what's still to come!

From GranBlue, P3R, FF7R; Unicorn Overlord, etc I’m already so behind but I’m soooo happy for all the content. And then to think of things like Mana and ReFantazio coming, this year is unimaginable. Not only is the jrpg renaissance in FULL swing, this feels like a new PS2 era of jrpg’s that are unabashedly jrpg’s. Their westernization derangement is over. They’re hot dumbing them down or simplifying stuff, none of that. They just give us meaty RPG’s with tons of exploration and they keep giving us more top tier games. This year is so nostalgic for me, and I know years later I will have nostalgia for this period of my life

Aside from the "western culture ruined jrpgs" (which IMO, was just company incompentence of manking good games, not "political reasons"), I agree 2024 is looking pretty good for the genre. 2017 still my fav year from recent years, we got Nier Automata, P5, Xeno 2, FE SoV and many others.

You need to change your mindset. Instead of stressing about the amount of backlog you have to go through you should be happy about having a lot of things to look forward to in the future. I love backlogs. It means there is always something new and exciting for me to try. That's why I'm never in a hurry to finish my games. I might be the only backlog gamer who actually finishes the games he starts.

Every year for at least the last 5 years has been a great year for JRPGs and RPGs in general. I feel so out of sync with so many other gamers that I hear constantly saying "gaming is dying" or "AAA gaming is dying" or things along these lines lamenting the lack of good games to play, because I've got more games than I could ever keep up with and more just keep releasing.

I'm gonna piss off some people with saying this but gaming is only dying for fans of western games. As a jrpg lover, it feels like every year is a good year. I have gone through more than 10 games over the last year and still have 13 game ony my backlog. And trust me, I'm very very selective when it comes to games. And I certainly missed out big over the years. Wether old or new games, there were a lot of masterpieces I played. Grandia, FFV, FFVI, Crisis Core Reunion and espcially Ys 8 Lacrimosa of Dana were tons of fun. And I dare say they are all masterpieces. Gonna move on to Octopath Traveler II, Bravely Default II and Ys IX Monstrum Nox.

I agree, this year is abslolutly insane and you did not even mention games like Ys X or the fact that new games could be revealed and come out this year. I look forward to Eiyuden chronicle, SMT V Vengeance because I freakin' love SMT V, Trails through Daybreak because it is Trails and it is the best series ever, Visions of Mana, Metaphor. I honestly did not think that 2023 could be topped but it looks like 2024 is THE year of JRPGs.

Not only jrpgs, the battle for the GOTY award will be a complete mayhem. It's very rare for me to put more than 50 hours straight in a single game, this year that habit got obliterated. I put more than 110 hours in granblue fantasy, 130 hours in like a Dragon infinite wealth, 140 hours in FFVIIREBIRTH and currently have 70 hours in Dragons Dogma 2, expecting more than 100 hours in Stellar Blade and other games coming later this year, totally crazy.

I have complicated feelings about the OG but I'm glad it was made so that this game could be made. I cannot wait till the next part even though I know it's going to be the hardest part for me to play... but now I'm here looking a big pile of games and being like... how am I supposed to have enough time to play all this?? plus I wanna get thousand year door because I've heard it's the best paper Mario and I never got to play it when I was young. also daybreak aahhh there is too much I do not have enough hours in the day! anyways great vid! keep up the good work!

They are all connected with trails of cold steel being the culmination point of the series. You can hop in at any series but if you start with cold steel you will miss out on references of events from other games. Characters from other series like the main parties from other games also become guest and playable characters in cold steel so if anything at least familiarize yourself because there is A LOT OF CHARACTERS.

Sand Land is a 1-volume manga that was released in 2000, the video game we're getting in a couple of weeks is one of the first announcements for the IP in the last couple of years, the others being an animated movie AND a TV series adaptations that will expand on the original story in big ways. It was one of the last original IPs Akira Toriyama worked on as a mangaka before returning to Dragon Ball some 20+ years later... to mixed reception lol

About the mixed turn based+action games like Trails to Daybreak, it seems only for open field battles(no bosses) and for ReFantazio it's either to make weaker enemies not taking your time(you can get rid of them immediately) or to gain advantage(getting first hits). Kinda wish they have full action spin offs considering Falcom already are good at making Ys games, and for Atlus they already had P5S(though that was mostly the Koei musou team?)
@calendar6526
@calendar6526 2 ай бұрын
For Daybreak/Kuro it is. Honestly the non command/turn based is just for streamlining mob encounters and make it "fun" at the same time. In Kuro 2 you will be able to cast a limited magic to make it more time efficient. I don't see they will make a full transition like how FF is.

@@calendar6526 yeah especially since they already have Ys, what I mean is spinoffs instead of mainline titles, just shorter games that are a bit too big to just be a minigame.

I finished Unicorn Overlord the other night now going through the Post Game, at first I thought the story is kind of meh but once you finish Elheim things become more interesting. The level of depth in terms of team composition is kind of insane, and the gear you get can sometimes fully re-purpose a class. Like making a Thief into a great support type unit. I feel like this game might become overshadowed as the year goes on; for fans of JRPG's I suggest just to give it a go even if it's just the demo.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is my game of the year so far. Just love the freedom you get. Once you make it to the capital, you can just eschew the main story and do pretty much anything else you want.

The dlc for the tale of arise is the best jrpg of the year so far. Granblue relink is a grind and they reskin the bosses like 3 times. Dragons dogma 2 has a mess of a story but the combat has some appeal. Unless ys comes out with another game this year, the upcoming mana game will be a good contender for the best.

I finished FF7R in 120hrs and loved it, then went into Rise of the Ronin and having a ton of fun too. My P3 reload copy is collecting dust cause I was on Crisis Core remastered, with a bit of helldivers 2 (and also suicide squad :/). I have dragons dogma 2 and unicorn overlord waitin too. Basically stop releasing games in 2024 please and thank you

FF7 could be the best game of the year but because its only on ps5, people just watch it on youtube and end up not buying it. I did the same with Part 1.

@@TheGamingShelf yes i know but they take forever to bring it out on PC then charge full price for a game they made me wait for because they want to take sony exclusive money and that i've already seen. The games made in unreal engine 4, a PC engine, they show the game play trailers playing on the PC platform. Still waiting on ff16. So yeah i miss out because of Playstation/Sony and Square shoot themselves in the foot. I'm not the only one who feels this way, theres very little hype when it eventually comes to PC because it's not new by the time its out. You can see this in Steam Stats for part 1 for example. doesn't sell like a normal new release.

Ah palworld, having your slaves work on the assembly line to build that base! Well Rebirth probably came quickish because they had a lot assests from the first part of the remake! Need to pick up unicorn overlord soonish, one I'm real excited to play! Gonna be so poor buying all these games!
