GamingUnion.net: "Resonance of Fate is a game that tries to step away from many JRPG conventions, and in some ways it succeeds. It offers an innovative combat system, a novel world map and a new take on an old levelling system. However, the innovative combat can also be extremely frustrating and the level of grinding required causes the game to become quite monotonous - mainly because it means the story gets really segmented. The cast are great, the music is great, but the systems implemented in the game are really hit or miss."
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.
The gun combat looks pretty wicked in this game from what I've seen. Maybe worth actually checking out.
The battle system looks intense, I love the fact that each character is fully customizable too and it even shows in cutscenes. Gonna get this for sure.
Sounds intriguing but insanely complicated
battle system is good but everything else is bad.. 7.5 from me because the battle is unique and fresh but a little bit complex at the same time
...and that's 10 times longer than I could stand FF13 as of right now. This game is awesome. The story is a little convoluted and it suffers from "anime characters with spiky hair all look the same" syndrome, but all in all the game looks beautiful, I actually like the world layout and the Energy Hex system to carve out paths to where you need to go.
This was a fresh way to conduct a JRPG, and I like it. I've had enough of swords and shields for a while
That and it has Nolan North in it
