I know this isn't the kind of content most of you guys look for with my channel, but I appreciate you guys giving it a watch. Have a good day yall!!!!!

You know, these riots aren't easy to plan. You gotta find where a person is. You gotta get the pitch forks. The torches. You gotta find an angry mob. You gotta trudge all the way out. It's exhausting.

It's always amazing finding out how many content creators I watch are JRPG fanatics. So awesome hearing someone advocate for Growlanser, it's criminally underrated and needs to known! I would love to see more of this type of content from you. Can't get enough jrpg content. Great video!

Wild Arms, Alundra, Azure Dreams are somewhat obscure games that I can think of right now. Also theres HD Remasters of Grandia 1 and 2 on Steam

Glad to see any Suikoden love, played them all the time as a kid. Absolute favorite RPG series

It’s good seeing legend of dragoon being talked about more and more

Great stuff, Jared. This video brings back some great memories. I’m 37 and a huge rpg fan. I grew up with a lot of these titles. I found your channel through your RE retrospective, but I’ve been loving all of your content. Keep up the awesome work, brother 👍

I'm so happy you included Growlanser in this. I've been telling my friends about Wayfarer of Time for years and I've never met anyone personally who's played it.

excellent video Jared! So many gems on this list. I hope you make more rpg stuff!

Oh man, Growlanser Generations. I just picked that up pretty recently but I was too preoccupied with another Working Designs localization job at the time, Vanguard Bandits. Honestly there could be an entire video on just games they localized because there is some pretty good stuff. Though some of their games are ridiculously expensive these days. *cough* Magic Knight Rayearth *cough*

This was my first video of yours and man was it a good one. A plethora of interesting unknown titles to look into. In addition, a great and engaging presentation. I'd love to see more content like this from you.

Love this variety, always loved your thrashed classics and this feels like a revamp of that in some ways

I really like that intro animation, it’s a shame we don’t get to see it more often.

It'd be nice to see you do a Kouldelka+Shadow Hearts series. I know you've talked about these games 10 years ago, but your content nowadays is much more refined.

A new Avalanche Reviews video on a Friday, this just made my day!

Haven’t even started this yet but the fact you have growlanser on the cover just jumped you up the list of greatest people ever. Can’t wait to watch this. Keep up the great content and keep up the awesomeness.

So glad to see that y’all made it Japan safely! Great video Jared!

Love the videos man, I grew up starting with RE2 on the N64- and going from there, The Suffering being a title I played way to much for how young I was. I must say I was shocked to Legend of Legaia didn't sneak it's way on here-! I got a Ambernic RG280v for PSX/GBA emulation- and I will for sure be playing Shining Soul on it! I was so busy playing Golden Sun, Breath of Fire 2, Pokemon Gold, and Advanced Wars over and over- I could never remember what freaking game my cousin always played on his GBA- and it hit me like a truck when this video started with Shining Soul!

Nice to see the mix up, love some of these

This video was very cool! Many games I didn't know about. I hope to see more videos like this in the future!

Even if you did some other more renown games I’d love to hear your take! Great vid as always 👍

Watching this was very pleasant, and just reminded me of several other rare games I enjoyed, like Legend of Legaia, Thousand Arms, Lunar SSS, and more famous games like Xenogears. I also imagine Parasite Even scratches both your horror/intrigue itch while also having a good RPG system in similiar veins to star ocean 2's, well the first one at least. The PS1 and 2 were truly a great time to enjoy rpgs.

Absolutely loved this one. Would be very keen to see more!

Well hey, I found your channel through this video, so I would absolutely love more obscure JRPG videos. I always love hearing about more than the usual Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest stuff.

Great Video! It's nice to see a lot of these gems getting some recognition. A few other titles I'd suggest are; Faxanadu -- An NES Action RPG which is part of the Dragon Slayer/Legend of Heroes series Legend of Legaia -- PSX JRPG with a fantastic combat system and a killer soundtrack Valkyrie Profile; Silmeria -- PS2 Hybrid Action Strategy RPG with an interesting battle system, fantastic aesthetic and great world building

I'd love a sequel to this! You actually managed to surprise me with several games; and I'm pretty informed on JRPGs. Also, why did you skip over Suikoden III?

More of this please! I had a blast with this video!

Great video!! I love JRPGs and I didn't know some of the titles mentioned here!

more people talking about Suikoden,Grandia and Legend Of The Dragoon is always good those series should not be forgotten. great video as usual sir

I love shining soul 2 ! One of my favorite hidden gem action RPGs on the game boy advance, I especially loved using the link cable and playing multiplayer

This man is an enigma….He’s making this long form bangers faster than I can finish them. Bless you

You posting a video is the highlight of my life every times it happens man, thank you for working on this.

I wish more JRPGs had Urushihara Satoshi as their artist like Growlanser did. He does all the rule 34 illustrations himself!!

A RPG video??! Average viewers are going to hate this but you sure got my heart. Thank you!!

Showing "Skies Of Arcadia" at the beginning really brought back the memories. Oh man.

As someone new to your channel but loves this kind of content, please for the love of god make more. Idk if this is your first one, but I would love to see more from you as you are already one of my favorite commentators for the genre

I glad to hear something about Legend of Dragoon, it's one of my favorite games. Even if with all of it's problems. You forgot about Skies of Arcadia.

Recently found your channel and have been "sleep watching" them. I've been digging the passion and depth of analysis you bring to your videos. If I had to offer my underrated RPG series, it'd be Ys for the obvious reasons. Just about every tune is a banger.

Saw the Growlancer thumbnail and title, clicked the video just because of interest in the topic. Noticed it was by you, and was very pleasantly surprised. Not something I expected from you, but I’m certainly excited to hear you talk about my favorite genre of games as opposed to my second.

Great video! I learned of a few games I need to try out.

I love the Xenogears music you used in here. (You should check out the Xenogears 20th anniversary concert if you haven't already. It's stunning.) JRPGs were my thing as a teen.

This is great video. I am a huge RPG fan. I only recently got into gaming at the age of 47. I love content like this because it exposes me to games I would never know about without your hard work. Thank you! I love your channel and respect the amount to work you do to bring us the content you do.

I loved this. I'd like to see more of these less known and/or underrated games, especially RPGs!

Love your retrospectives, but this stuff right here is my type of content! Hope to see more videos like it in the future!

More of this type of content please. I'd say the cross over between Jrpgs and survival horror fans it pretty large, after al the ps1 era was when both of them was arguably at their peak.

Excited to grab some grub, sit down and watch this! What I will say, in regards to your introduction statement from my personal viewpoint: Even though you've never really talked much about JRPGs since I've been watching, I actually noticed your fondness for the scene with a lot of the "pseudo-references" to popular ones (or at least ones I know of) through fonts, intro inspirations etc. Enough so in fact, to actually check your channel from BEFORE I started watching, to see if you'd ever covered any JRPG type stuff previously, before the Resident Evil and Silent Hill retrospectives! Needless to say, regardless of all of that, to ME at least, as an absolute fan of your content, I could definitely tell you were a JRPG fan, even if it went unspoken on the Survival Horror stuff a lot, so I see this video here is an absolute *WIN*. Again, super excited to grab some monch and watch through all of this tonight! And I wouldn't mind seeing more content on different genres of games you love in the future! Your commentary on any game you cover that I've played/haven't have always been interesting and insightful to me, and even inspired me to go back to older games I used to practically worship as a kid, and pop 'em in for my own "retrospective" take on them, like the entire 3D Legend of Zelda line-up in release order and the Metroid Prime Trilogy! (As well as any of the 2D games I could readily get my hands on!!!) Thanks for the stellar content as always Jared; keep on rocking, - Gen

Honestly I love everything you put out rpg and jrpgs are actually my go to but after seeing your resident evil retrospective I subbed something about your voice and way of explaining is top notch.

Thanks for the great content Jared!

Please do more of these, I'd love to play some games you've recommended here in the future!

This was a fun video! This is the first I’ve seen from your channel and I’m super into RPGs. Most of these titles I have heard of, but I’m definitely added Grandia 3 and Ring of Red into my backlog. Ring of Red does look super rad

Appreciate the love for Growlanser! The description of an RTS without just saying it’s an RTS was amusing. Also I love Grandia 3, too! Def gonna check out Emerald Dragon, only one I haven’t heard of or played. I was really into import Saturn titles before it was cool, so I struggled through Wachenroder many many years ago.

Loved this one. I am always happy to be reminded of Suikoden and to see some roleplaying games I did not know before. :)

Wanted to comment here as it’s the newest video. Thanks for all the great content. I got covid a couple of days ago and have just been watching all your full retrospective videos. By that I mean the 7hr long or so videos. It’s been great! The nostalgia has made me feel better even tho I’m wicked sick.

I love finding gems like these! Very much enjoyed this video. Hope to see more jrpg content from you in the future!

This was a great video! I love your enthusiasm on whatever topic you discuss, whether it's survival horror, RPGs or anything else. So please consider a part 2 to this!

I really dig your compilation style videos, it's like getting samples in a candy store. Love horror but I hope the success of this video means you'll be less shy about branching out, your RPG takes are really entertaining as well. P.S. Currently playing LoD. Can't tell you how relieved I felt to see you missing the timing of the 5th level Dragoon attack. I made it 80% of the way through the game without even knowing you could get beyond 4 ticks.

this video is awesome man, detour from the normal content time after time!!!

I own several of these and you're making me want to replay or play them so much now, only played one of the Growlanser games of those we got in the west and really thinking of popping one of them to start soon.

Awesome video, certainly put some games on my radar I'd not heard about before. Was that a Phantasy Star Online tease at the very end?

I'm always looking for nostalgia content. I love this stuff. Liked and subbed :

I would love to see more parts of this series!

This is a really great video I love RPG games I want to see more videos of obscure RPG games I never heard of.

Would love if you’d cover more JRPGs in the future. Excellent video!

You are my favourite new find in KZfaq. Funny how you started explaining how you popped in either survival horror or RPGs when you were young. That is 100% me and i know some other channels who are 100% split between these two genres since childhood. (y)

Great video! suikoden tierkreis was my first entry of the suikoden series, and I still haven't been able to get all of the characters in any of my tries.

this is awesome. i originally found your stuff through your awesome silent hill videos but rpgs have always been my favorite. in answer to your question in the first minute of the video, i would absolutely watch videos of your opinions on the greats with millions of videos cause you've got a better understanding then most. keep it up!

Absolutely down for more content like this. Great video!

I really like your videos about Survival Horror because it it's a passion of mine no one of my friend shares and now RPGs? Holy cow I love your channel. Glad I found you at 3 am with weird video searches.

Oh man this is awesome. Ive been waiting for you to release this since you released the Onimusha tactics video. Also happy to finally see grandia 3 being talked about after constantly seeing it on your 'Trashed Classics" intro haha

ahhh god the memories pouring in from this video I still remember the grind in grandia 2 on the dreamcast collecting the item that boost character movement speed. growlanser and suikoden were random games i found and played to death for no reason but enjoyed them. Probably still one of the biggest JRPG gem will always be Lunar silver star story (complete) and how I'll never forget that Ashley from the boy band O Town was Alex's VA. great video man

I definitely love the obscure & overlooked games Avalanche Reviews since they made for some amazingly great times in my life.

OMG you talked about one of my favorite RPG games Ring of Red! It's such a unique game and glad it's finally getting coverage!

Would live to see more of this great vid

Love it Jared. Glad to see you branch out to other titles outside of survival horror. I’m a huge fan of jrpgs and there’s some great gems on here. Suikoden is one of my favorite series too.

Thank you for covering the Growlaser series!!!

Holy crap, Resonance of Fate! I was starting to think that game only existed to me, like the specter of some game developer who died in my house or something. The fact the mountain of tutorials managed to convey how to operate that combat system is a miracle in itself, trying to explain it with words is impossible. I remember rereading the directions over and over again, blinking, wondering if I was in the process of receiving brain damage... but when I'm playing it, it's one of my favorites of all time.

Nice to see someone talk about the shining series shining force 2 got me into rpgs and it is still one of my favorite games of all time

Nice work on the vid. Takes me back, to my kid years. I remember my brother playing Lunar Silver Star Story and the sequel. Another weird one was Record of Lodoss War for the Dreamcast.

Great video! I love both RPG's and old school survivor horros. Please continue with this. I recently got a saturn so I might try Wachenroder. It looks right up my ally.

Found you through "Infinite Undiscovery". Great game and wanted to hear ur view, thanks great review!

This was such a good video! Thank you!

Great video, I keep hoping for a Growlancer collection on the Switch as it's spiritual predecessor Langrisser got a shiny new coat of paint a couple years ago but no dice so far.

very good video, please, volume 2 :D

Wachenroder! I love the art of that game so much, glad someone knows and is talking about it

Great video! It's awesome seeing lesser-known SRPGs like Suikoden Tactics get some love (even if I feel a bit led-on by that footage of Feda: Emblem of Justice and Grand Kingdom at the start of the video 😅). Have you played Telepath Tactics: Liberated?

Pleasantly watching your video with a shoot of nostalgia, wasn't expecting someone to finally give Ring of Red the praises it always deserved This game is an absolute gem

Oh wow, I love Wachenroder's ideas and designs. Revving Up a Weapon in a PaperMario-like Action Command? And Ring of Red is surprisingly innovative and now I'm glad to know it exists. Thanks for sharing!

A fun compilation of RPGs I can look up, and LoD which is always awesome! If you do a part 2, might I recommend the Xenosaga series and the Disgaea series.

These types of videos are why I subscribed. Missed Trashed Classics, and that's actually why I subbed, and this is as close as I'll get for a while, so it's nice to see you go back to the basics. Thanks, man! Also, hope your move to old Zipangu was painless!

If I remember correctly Bravely Default 1 (don’t remember the others) has separate menu screen music and it’s a music box. I fuckin love it when games do that. Especially if the music is so calm and tranquil. I’ll have to give LoD a shot then because of that, and because the combo’s do look cool as hell. Love the video Jared! I’m a little confused as to why it’s unlisted though?

Amazing thumb. Can't believe someone is finally talking about Growlanser 2, the most underrated game of all time imo! I have great memories of playing it on my PS2...

Literally redownloading the grandia HD collection on my switch right now just to finish those games now because of you lol.

Always good to see jrpg content, you and casp should do a video or stream together.

amazing video man

Loved the video. This is my first video I've seen of yours and this is just fantastic content. You even showed me a RPG I've never heard of. Ring of Red. It's now on my list to hunt for when I'm at Con's or hunting in used video game stores. Ring of Red really reminded me of a cross of Front Mission and Valkyrie Chronicles. Which is an absolute win for me! Question though. I see you hit almost all of the Suikoden series but the 3rd one. Had you not played that one yet?

I love the growlanser series. Thanks for bringing more attention to it!

Someday I'll get that Trails review I've always wanted *but* this is a good start!

Well this was very nice. Subscribed.

That opening music really took me back. Legend of legia was my first rpg

Thank you for shining a light on these overlooked games! I'm not a big RPG fan but these will still be good for when I'm looking to try something new. As for multiplayer Shining Soul 2, I can testify it's great for casual co-op and decent for long-term; although the difficulty increase is a bit harsh without grinding.
