10 Great PS4/PS5 JRPGs I Strongly Recommend 

Your just teaching them a lesson

Those kids shouldn’t have picked a fight with a guy who knows 3(4 if you got the boxer) fighting styles

It is not full open world, but close enough. It is more like you have locations of open areas, but expect it to be BOTW. It is still super fun to fly in the skies. Just note that at some points you are very limited at what you can do, as you are locked to a certain character and have to follow the story with barely any time for doing side quests. It is still very good game. If you enjoyed the avatar battles in .hack gu, or the bosses in naruto storm or even asura wrath, you are going to enjoy.

I have played both of those Trails of Cold Steel games and both are very much, worth playing. I am about to start live streaming game play, starting next week..

@@ObsidianMonGaming cool but were they rated Pegi 12?

@@josephtravis1032 I am not sure if they are pegi 12. I should be receiving the game tomorrow.

@@ObsidianMonGaming okay please let me know

@@josephtravis1032 I received trails of Cold Steel 1, today, and it is pegi 12.. I will be live streaming on Twitch and uploading to youtube.

Heartbreaking

I'll be looking into Redemption Reapers.

Yeah i wanna know too. Never played one of those games. In final fantasy games you can start where you want.

Would not recommend doing that. The best part of Trails of Cold Steel 3 /4 (by far) is the parts where all of the characters from previous games get together -- if you don't know the prior personalities those moments will end up being too confusing. Sad to say but if you're ok with retro games, would recommend starting at Sky first chapter and second chapter and seeing whether you like this style of game. If you're not ok with retro games, Falcom's rumored to be remastering them in a few years

I started with cold steel 1 and I’m not sure it was a great idea. I do like the story but it can be a tad slow at times. It took me a stupid amount of time to finish 1 where I felt I had to force myself to get through because 2 was going to be better. Now I’m on 2 and having the same problem. Slow build up and simplistic battle system just doesn’t get me real excited. I play it every now and then when I know I’ll have a good amount of time to get immersed but I often drop it for a while to play something that is just a little more fast paced either story wise or combat wise. I would recommend the opposite that most people do and start with whichever one you think you will like the most. Then decide where you want to go from there depending on how you like it. If you try to start at the beginning you may feel like your just wasting your precious time that might already be taken up by the endless sea of games we have now days.

@@russellg9622 Cold Steel 1 isn't the beginning though. To the original q, did you end up playing 3 and 4? I feel like without the backstory none of the emotional beats would hit and you wouldn't actually know any of the characters or how to use them. To me it just seems like it'd be a complete waste

You should play trails in the sky 1, 2 and 3 first which in my opinion are the best in the trails series, don't skip the third one like some people recommend, it's an awesome game and adds massively to the story. There is an Evo Japanese version of these games that are better than the original psp versions, they're the same as the PS4 versions of zero and azure graphically and can be played on a vita, pstv or pc with translation patches (for vita and pstv). I'd probably recommend playing zero and azure next, though some will recommend playing cold steel 1 and 2 first so that's your choice. Cold steel 3 then 4 then reverie after that. I definitely wouldn't recommend skipping cold steel 1 and 2 before playing 3 and 4, so many things will go over your head in the story if you do.

There's no debate. Those games are not rpgs.

@@jonathansoko1085 I agree, much like Zelda for instance. It has a lot that would make you think it is but they aren’t really RPGs, just Action-Adventure

@@Werewulf150 exactly. Genre exists and those games aren't bad. They just aren't RPG.

RPG is role-playing games.. They focus on playing the role of a specific character and has a focus on the narrative of said character... Yakuza games you all play the role of Kiryu and see him develop and the story revolves around him and you make choices that affect the story and can interact with npcs to get a feel of the world youre in... Its definitely rpg.

@@byronbarrientos8471 No, it isnt. You have the right idea of rpg at the START of your comment but you IGNORE EVERYTHING else. Judging by your take, master blaster is a rpg. Judging by your terrible take, EVERY GAME IS A RPG. You have no idea, its sad. According to you, every game ever made is an rpg because you play a charecter and have a role. Baldurs gate, witcher, RPGS. Halo, not. Even tho you follow a narrative of a charecter and have a role. Do you comprehend or what dude. Im guessing now

different license owners

It took me day two to enjoy playing DBZ: Kakarot and it's still my favorite DB game

I love this game, I am currently playing it.

Not every game has a level system

Lately?

It’s the frequency. Eric’s always made good content, but as an actual professional content creator, he didn’t think about frequency. He had access to a huge library of games to add to people’s backlog, but he didn’t consider that at some point, you simply run out of games on older platforms. While we all enjoyed his 3x a week videos, it would have been wise to readjust to 1x a week early on. Aside from that, he needs to think of new video formats and structures. He has a good cadence, he just needs to freshen up. He needs to work a little bit on his ability to provide analysis, which would enable him to branch out into other series aside from TOP TEN UNDERRATED RPGS. Whether that’s comparing specific game mechanics’ evolution between games or generations, providing detailed game writing insight (considering he’s a writer), etc - he just needs a new thing that’ll keep the wheels spinning, while not rehashing.

@@iksdistek yes this! I’m not bashing him I’ve followed him for years and always watch just as a viewer I’ve been really disappointed recently with the content

Lol dudes been making the same top 10's and tier lists for years now

@@duncanedgin9433 unfortunately this is also true
