What exactly happened to JRPG's?

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


In short anime.



Companies learned they can just shove a bunch of moe bullshit into a game and it'll sale a bunch to otaku no matter how bad it is.

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





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.

kingdom hearts 3 is going to be the worst thing imaginable



Kingdom Hearts problem is it got way to anime. As the series went on the plot got way more overly complicated and way more OC characters were added than Disney. It's a shame too because the actual gameplay part got better.




[e] If I ever make a fortune I'mma make a SMTxDic game series that's just heathcliff getting torn apart by demons.

i like kingdom hearts a lot and when my friends asked me how i could stand the story i just kinda chuckled because who the gently caress pays attention to the story in a square/disney crossover game, like seriously. no one does right guys? right!?!?




The first one's plot was pretty simple. Then the spin-offs started happening and well..

I think Legend of Dragoon is my FF7. It's difficulty was perfect for dumb kid me and it might have been the only multi disk game I came close to beating. I still remember a lot about it even though I haven't played it in years like the rad boss themes or how to do the gust of wind dance right.



[e] Also it did the killing of party members thing multiple times.
