What exactly happened to JRPG's?

They seem shittier now. Am I just using nostalgia goggles or are they actually way shittier?

i don't think anyone makes them anymore. some are still really good, like smt4

i go back to chrono trigger every once in a while and it still holds up. it is just a fun adventure. i don't know what happened to jrpgs, i fell out with them around ff8 because it seemed like no one was having fun. the characters weren't having fun the plot wasn't having fun, i wasn't having fun.

ff9 was good.

i played ff9 for a while and i agree it seemed good. somewhere along the line i stopped playing it though. i don't remember why.

i also fondly remember parasite eve because it was just so bananas.

i played and beat xenogears, but i'm not sure i actually enjoyed it.

by the time the ps2 rolled out i had transitioned to pc gaming though and that's basically when me and jrpgs had a divorce

play ff9 on an emulator and speedthru the battles and only the battles.

tbh a lot of jrpgs are made for teenagers and young adults, doesn't mean that it can't be fun but it won't have the same charm at 28 than when it did at 14 years.

the last great jrpg I really enjoyed was radiata stories, everything else seems merely 'okay' so far

hta t was a good game

Radiata stories owned and it's a shame Square stopped doing cool one-offs like that after the ps2. The last console JRPG I played that was actually good was Ni No Kuni and that started wearing out it's welcome by the end.



[e] Speaking of Square, what's going on with Dragon Quest? It feels like we haven't got anything for years outside the ios port of 8.

square didn't make that, tri-ace did, and they're still doing one-offs. they're not particularly cool tho.

yeah it was a mess mechanically. i intend to go back to it but not before i beat vp2 again because i want to be reminded of what made the series good.

it was pretty fun I thought. probably wouldn't replay it tho. I was thinking more of their ps3 games which I don't think anyone likes.

i do, honestly, its just that i still think of ps2 as modern sometimes due to being old


i think i understand what you mean but could you clarify it

modern just means "I still have the console" to me. so ps2+ for consoles and 3ds for handhelds
