The first few years of the newest console generation has been a lull period for Japanese role-playing games. Recently however, JRPGs have appeared to reach a renaissance of sorts: Bravely Second: End Layer, Fire Emblem Fates, multiple Dragon Quest remakes, Odin Sphere Leifthrasir, and the list goes on. On top of that, that list of upcoming JRPGs continues to grow with new announcements regularly, keeping us busy with 40+ hour story-driven experiences on the regular. With brand new releases like Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE and Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness, it’s difficult just finding the time to try all these exciting games, let alone complete all of them. In celebration of this wonderful time to be a fan, here are 10 upcoming JRPGs (roughly sorted by release date) that warrant some serious excitement.
Here are the games that will be leaving the Extra and Premium tiers of the PS Plus subscription service in the month of May, 2024.

I don't recall Sony forcing you to subscribe like nobody forced you to go to Blockbuster to rent games instead of buying them.
Pay-per-view was almost cheaper than the cost of gas and rental fee from Blockbuster. Blockbuster doesn’t exist today. Are you being sarcastic?
Gary Green said: With my fondness for (most) Final Fantasy games and my side goal of finishing off games in my collection with loose ends, a return to Final Fantasy XV seemed inevitable. It also serves as my third Final Fantasy platinum trophy after VII and VIII, a reasonable substitute since Final Fantasy IX is nigh on impossible to master.
Final Fantasy 15's director has revealed why he left Square Enix back in 2018.
Hajime Tabata famously resigned from Square Enix two years after Final Fantasy 15 shipped in 2016. In a special livestream at the time, Tabata announced his decision to resign from the company, cancelling three of four new story-focused DLC episodes for Final Fantasy 15 in the process.
I liked it. I haven’t played the royale edition yet but I’ll get around to it one day.
I really believe 13 was better put together and more complete than 15 ever was.
Found the pathetic troll.
How is your jobless life going?
Dot worry, you will never get a job or a girlfriend haha!
Man inherited a train wreck and was expected to release this game in under two years after it spent a better part of a decade in development hell. At one point there was even plans to make FFXIII Versus a musical. He did what he could.
I didn't care much for XV and I always wanted the original vision of Versus XIII but I think the dev team did what they could to salvage the project
And yet people still blame him for the game turning out the way it did, rather than SE for the horrible mismanagement of 13 and Namura for being overly ambitious.
Whatever the behind-the-scenes went on over the many years, at the end of the day it was a radical change in direction that I could not go along with. Also why I never bought 16.
Ff15 and ni no kuni 2 for me!
Exciting times for me , I plan to buy at least 8 of those games .
Dragon Quest 11
Ni no Kuni 2
Trails of Cold Steel 2
Tales of Berseria
Final Fantasy VII Remake
Final Fantasy XV
Etc
* Can't wait for Dragon Quest 7&8 on 3Ds....haven't played either game yet.
* Also LoH:Cold Steel 2, but I'm so far behind in this series that I won't get around to it until probably 2019-2020.
* I'm still on the Gagharv Trilogy and only have beaten Tears of Vermillion....I still need to play moonlight witch & Song of the ocean, before I even play Trails in the Sky one, T.i.t.s. SC, or CS 1 &2.
Good to know it's there when I get around to it though.
