"Japanese development company Tri-Ace haven't really hit their stride yet with this generation of consoles...
So it's with well-guarded high hopes that JRPG fans have approached Resonance Of Fate – another entirely new creation that drops traditional weapons and magic in place of firearms.
Released in Japan earlier in the year under the name End Of Eternity, Sega made the ballsy move of releasing Resonance Of Fate to North American and European markets mere days after Final Fantasy XIII hit the shelves."
Many overlooked RPGs lie dormant in the catalogues of gaming, but players can pick up their swords and shields with these amazing JRPG hidden gems!
From Xfire: "The golden era of JRPGs has long since passed, with more traditional RPGs having planted themselves firmly under the spotlight for the better part of the past two decades. However, while there's not been as many JRPG games released in recent years, there's still enough of them being released that results in certain titles slipping under the proverbial radar."
Highly recommended if you like FF Tactics. I believe it was Colin Moriarty's (Last Stand Media) GOTY last year.
Most of these are the weak story jrpgs which is why its an easy pass for myself. I don't have love to turn based or tactics battles systems but I enjoy the other aspects of jrpgs. The most important aspect to me is the story. I have put up with playing horrible battle systems and mini games that should never exist to enjoy the lengthy and amazing stories these games have. For some reason around the PS3 days they seemed to think, who cares about story just worry about battle system and crafting. So if those are the things you're looking for then this list is for you.
I’ve been trying to get back into playing JRPGs lately. With the recent release of Persona 5 Strikers, I finally decided to start playing Royal. I don’t know if I can make the time for just any JRPG though, and Persona games are always an experience and a half.
Arc System Works announced today that Resonance of Fate 4K/HD Edition will be getting a physical release in Asian territories starting this December.
very memorable game for me last generation. nothing will ever beat the ps360wii era for me
Indeed it was, it was better game that Resonance and Remnant imo. Square has struggled to make a AAA game of that caliber since. The IP needs to be sold, then again I can say that of any square franchise that isn't Romance Saga, Final Fantasy, or Dragon Quest.
JRPG games sure have a distinctive look don't they? The big blue eyes, the attention to hair detail...
So I'm interested in this.
Only thing putting me off is its love of grey...not exactly the prettiest look next to FFXIII or Eternal Sonata. Also I've heard about difficulty spikes which aren't my thing.
SOrry, after watching actual gameplay footage, it just does not grab me at all. Can not see what the whole attraction is with these games . . . point cursor at target, hit button, scene takes place, enemy gets damage, repeat . .
What you see in the QT events just does not marry into the actual gameplay . . .
And they want to be taken seriously, yet they do chapter starts like the video at the bottom, or the one where they encourage Leanne to go and be an escort and they'll take photos etc . . come on . . seriously.
what a strange video at the end of the review... lol
Love my JRPG's.
Just beat FFXIII so looking forward to starting a new one, would this game be a good choice?
