Really great article. I'm especially pumped for Xenoblade Chronicles and Super T.I.M.E Force. That Retro City Rampage game looks pretty fun, too.

I find im gravitating more and more to unique gaming experiences. I love "AAA" titles, but they tend to run almost exclusively in certain genres and in series, so truly fresh takes are rare. I think that is the real value of the indie gaming industry.

Glad to see someone shedding light on a few of the lesser recognised titles.

Great article!

There are definitely some cool sounding titles I haven't heard of on that list.

Best JRPG series of the last 5 years imo

repsahj216d ago

I agree 100%. My top JRPG so far, together with Baldurs Gate 3 and FF16.

autobotdan216d ago (Edited 216d ago )

There is no together at the top. There is only one top jrpg series. Xenoblade Chronicles series is alone at the top

I like the Xenoblades series but my ‘top’ series would be either the Trails series or Persona series. Just too many good games for me to just pick one series though, so I say play them all lol.

You are hereby excommunicated the church of Xenoblade Chronocology

I'm not huge into JRPGs, but my favorite is easily the Persona series. It's all opinion though. Xenoblade is a great series.

Tetsuya Takahashi Wants The Next Xenoblade To Be Vastly Different From Previous Games

Tetsuya Takahashi has revealed his plan to make the next Xenoblade vastly different from previous games.

I liked the Xenoblade X formula. It takes awhile, but opening up Mechs was amazing. Especially once you can fly them, and use them in battle. You have to put some time into the game to do it, but it's worth it!

Also, the graphics were more realistic than the other games. Still looks good today, just a lot more pop-in than is acceptable today, hell even too much for back then. It wasn't game breaking though.

Xenoblade 1-3 and X are so great. That said, I'm ready for them to do a big change up.
