My first thought too.

You could say too ambitious. 2nd disk was a visual novel for the most part

Ive started the game countless times. The farthest ive gotten is this stretch near the end of disc 1 where it is hours of senseless dialogue. The game is there but it didnt age well and the ratio of game to dialogue is too imbalanced

I wish they would remaster and actually complete Xenogears. But sadly that will likely never happen

nah, trails is. trails is almost like one gigantic game split into a dozen 100 hour segments. it has the most fleshed out world, story, and characters of any game series by far.

One can only Hope that it will Happen but i doubt it. Namco/Bandai isnt interested and Monolith hast no rights over Xenosaga.

Personally I think a full on remake where all the games use the same engine/art assets would be a better ideal than just a remaster as, imo, the drastic change in art style makes each game look disconnected to each other. If Monolithsoft was to get involved with them I think a Xenoblade art style would work perfect for all 3 games. Maybe even attempting to add onto the story with some plot points they dropped in development that would've been in if they kept making as many games as they planned would help as well...at the very least rework some of the weaker plot points/holes that people mention the game has (can't go into detail myself as I never played the games and nowadays it seems near impossible to get them unless you want to sell your kidneys or something lol). As for combat could stay the same or at least change them so all of them follow the same system with only adding in more broken aspects of the system in the later games (kind of like how each Trails games adds in a few new systems to the original base system so they still all feel kinda uniform).

Better remaster

Remasters are bad for the brain.

They would not benefit from a remaster, as the graphics is already their strong point. A full remake would be great , bit ot would require Nintendo having the Xenosaga IP.

They are that good huh? I'm gonna have to take a plunge in them. Which one should I start with? I have a PS4 and Switch...

@@isaiahjaxon You start with the first, Trails in the Sky. Each of those Trails games are a continuation of the last. Though I've heard the last one can be played alone as it features different characters.

@@ivenstorm If you mean Kuro no Kiseki. It does have new characters, but there are also several characters coming back in important roles from all the preivous series. I don't know how many are coming back, but, I'm sure there are a few from both Sky and Cold Steel. Not sure about the crossbell characters. The best way is to start from Trails in the Sky. Steam version plus voice patch is the best way to play in my opinion. Hopefully Falcom will port them soon to new consoles.

@@isaiahjaxon A potato can run Sky FC,SC and 3rd...start with these if possible then by the time you beat all 3 games Trails from Zero will be out on PS4 in late Sept. Sure you could start with Coldsteel 1 like a lot of people did but trust me the payoff for playing them in order totally worth it.

its just the cliff hanger man. play the first one then they leave you in cliff hanger, tyen you play the 2nd and you learn there a bigger treat out there that need to take down and its need a lot of set up and prepare. arive at 3rd and its leave you at hanging, sure we forcely learn that rean basically still weak. and go on till the hajimari basically conclusion about rean anexity after 4 game before and how he should face his live to moveon

Lunar is such a simple, yet very enjoyable story. I wouldn’t say it’s the best story ever told, but I’ll take Lunar’s lighthearted, often campy dialogue and over simplified plot that’s easy to digest and fall in love with over something like Triangle Strategy.

Trails in the Sky Trilogy some of my favorite jrpgs ever. And estelle is best female lead ever imo. Enjoy!

@@Enidx10 I'm looking forward to playing Lunar.

Trails series? Do you mean The Legend of heroes series?

@@vagrantxii well both is correct however when you say trails series it specifically refers to that saga of games. anything before trails in the sky isnt apart of the trails series but the legend of hero series.

Star Ocean... Period.

Those are action rpgs though great series but isn't a jrpg

@@Citizen_Nappa23 tri ace is Japanese hence jrpg thanks though.

@@travislong2176 it's still an action rpg they aren't turn based they fall under a different classification altogether. The "jrpg" Era were all turn based titles. Action rpgs and RTS were games you freely moved around had completely different in game mechanics

@@Citizen_Nappa23 wow you are seriously grasping straws here man he's got action rpgs on this list because they are Japanese companies and rpgs tales series rogue galaxy like did you even watch the video.........

He looks damn fresh in it XDD

I've never been happier talking to every single NPC than in the Trails series. Cold Steel has some of the best side characters.

You know the series did something amazing if you can recognize almost every NPCs with no face sprite and super distinct design It's probably one of many games that can surpass Visual Novels media in terms of story-telling and worldbuilding

I think the problem with people about Triangle Strategy is that they believe it's a re-skinned FF Tactics and it's not. It's just a "Tactics" game made by Square. I love it.

I agree. He lost credibility with aries, like he just included the newest tales game. Hell the skits aren't even voiced like past. And where is alliance alive.

im sorry but this is a far more accurate list of JRPG stories then what Erick listed in his video lol

Sadly will likely never happen with Nintendo owning Monolith software and the creator and owner of most of the rights committed to producing games for Nintendo

I thought both routes were quite good, although that is my memory from way back when.

it never really goes long enough without action to bother me. xenogears frustrated me, it felt like there were constant 2 hour long story segments in xenogears, and it began to feel really tedious for me. i like the story in trails much more, which is probably why those games never felt as tedious to me.

A new Trailer for Fate Extella Record (the remake) came out, and yeah, the sequels are Musou games.

I'll never stop recommending that game to people. I double dipped on the switch, even. Was so good to Re-experience that mind melting narrative more...personal and up close in hand held mode. SUCH a phenomenal game/story.

Yeah by far the best experience in a lot time

Doesn't hold a candlestick to tales of Z or B. Or alliance alive.

@@sagepirotess6312 I need to beat Alliance Alive. I’m like 2 hours in and liked where it was going. Forgot what game took its spot

trails from zero is coming to ps4/5 this year in september, and from what i hear as long as it doesn't do too bad, the rest of them should be coming behind it. they seem to be really slow at putting out these remasters though, so it'll probably be a while before we see them all on modern consoles. i have the first 2 sky games on my phone, i played them on psp emulator with a ps4 controller and they play perfectly, so if i really want to replay them i can. sadly the 3rd sky game never got an english patch for the psp version, so i haven't got to play that one yet.

@@Jack_80 People still play JRPGs on PS4/5? I thought the Switch was the JRPG machine of this generation.

@@faidou9954 they're probably coming to switch too, but i don't have a switch, that's why i only mentioned ps.

The problem is Xseed. They localized it, so if another publisher (probably NIS) wanted to remaster the Sky games, they'd have to get the rights from Xseed. This goes for Ys 1-7 too.

They are available on PC - and will run on quite literally any hardware. Just plug in a controller and it'll do the trick

if you havent played trails in the sky first i recommend that, cold steel isnt a bad start as well but a few games in you will be hit with a lot of spoilers and some information dumps that will make little sense out of context, it is a fantastic series but best enjoyed in order to get a full point of reference for cutscenes and payoffs they show later on

Right now is the perfect time to get into the series, just start with Trails in the Sky FC and follow all the games in a chronological order. You won't be disappointed

Lots of “jrpg” fans seem to discredit anything Final Fantasy or any major SE release. I was shocked not to see Nier or Chrono Trigger, or FF6 on here. Seems any “jrpg” KZfaqr separates themselves from these titles/series.

Its elsewhere

@@hiro6164 Where can I play it? Legally

@@geralt7144 you can wait to see its remastered or something.

@@hiro6164 It is more realistic that we get a new Legacy of Kain game, because Square sold the rights

@@geralt7144 just emulate it, you won't go to he'll i promise.

wait till you see what happens in the epilogue
