What can Japanese RPG developers learn from Rayman: Origins?

Joystiq:
Alright, I'll give you a moment to wrap your brain around that statement, then I'll explain. As most of you know, Rayman: Origins is a completely beautiful platformer that captures everything that is great about the genre -- precise controls, expansive levels, and high challenge. It's at the forefront of the genre's mini-renaissance, which has been ongoing for a few years now.

Ninokuni...................... ...

thats all I am going to say................

No game, let alone rpg has a better look

A big beatiful love letter to the genre.............

did you play disgaea 4?

did you play radiant historia?

did you play pokemon black white

did you play any legend of heroes game?

The upcoming gungir is 1 big love letter

I really appreciate that you love japanese rpgs and want them to give you a love letter, but dont inore the forest trying to find that 1 tree.........

bravely default is as much a love letter as ive seen

but I received it after the second year and I had more rpgs I could handle from japan

"Right now, JRPGs suffer from the popular perception of being archaic and limited to niche-oriented, which happens to be exactly the sort of problem that traditional 2D platformers had during the 32-bit era"

it isnt right now, and it isnt right then

that no matter how great your games looks and how well it plays, you still won't sell that many?

Best JRPG series of the last 5 years imo

repsahj220d ago

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

autobotdan220d ago (Edited 220d ago )

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

raWfodog220d ago (Edited 220d ago )

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

CappyBlack219d ago

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.

gleepot219d ago

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