Frustrated Fury Writes: Imagine if you could change the future. What would you do differently? Would you warn yourself about certain events that have yet come to pass? Remember, there are always consequences to changing the past. You will need to balance and control this, and many more situations, in the new DS RPG Radiant Historia.
The story follows Stocke, a secret agent working for his kingdom’s government. He takes on missions that help protect his country, gathering information on the plots of rival countries. Stocke is almost killed on one of these missions and is visited by two young, mysterious people claiming to be time travelers. He obtains the Historia, a magical book that allows Stocke to travel through time to relive key moments in his life and change his decisions. Stocke is the only one that has conscious memories of future events and it’s up to the player to make the decisions.
Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "The little handheld that could was a dream for role-playing game fans, with both major blockbusters and cult-classics making the DS a handheld you always wanted to have in your backpack. "
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.
We’re on our way through the third chapter when something pretty heavy happens.
