15 Upcoming JRPGs To Look Out For! 

Baten Kaitos does have a physical release - albeit seems to be skipping North America. However as the Switch is region free, you can just import either the Asian English or UK/Australian PAL versions.

Fate samurai looks fun. It's probably going to be a semi dynasty warrior dark soul game but I like when you can customize weapons

I took a several year break away from jrpgs because I got burnt out on them but now I'm back and really enjoying the genre again. Really appreciate this list.

Now thats a list of greatness if I've ever seen one. Every one of those games is going to be worth picking up imo. The fact it doesnt even count several others on the horizon is impressive. We are swimming in JRPG lately and thats a good thing. I do plan on picking up a physical or LE for all of these (including going to Play Asia if I have to....looking at you Baton Kaitos). Bank account is gonna be as empty as the Sahara desert :-0 (Also cant wait for more info on Metaphor)

It's like mid 2000's again! JRPGs are keep rolling and rolling and couldn't be more happy.🤗

Metaphor Refantazio is also supposed to be next year (though I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they pushed it back to 2025).

Honestly with the more info that has come out about P3 Reload, they are bringing back a lot of the features and story content from FES, the only real thing missing is The Answer.

not mentioned, but I’m excited for Eternights… still wanting Trails in the Sky and Cold Steel 1 & 2 to come to Switch!

I would like to say Level 5 said their games will be at the Tokyo Game Show. So I'm expecting release dates at TGS. Personally excited for Fantasy Life i.

This video was a big help, with so many game releases coming out it was nice getting a condensed list for the JRPG genre

For me, Ys X: Nordics, Star Ocean: The Second Story R, DecaPolice, and CryMachina are my most anticipated. There are many that I'm interested in beyond that as well; Legend of Nayuta, Persona 3 Reload and Persona 5 Tactica, GranBlue Fantasy: Relink, and Infinity Strash: Adventure of Dai being the ones I'll probably pick up. Looking forward to a lot of action RPGs, it seems.

There is a remake of the Dai anime that finishes the story. If you are still interested, you May wanna check it out

your videos are so good! informative, well-structured, and entertaining :]

I'm hyped for granblue & starocean. Fate looks interesting, had no idea about it but loved the show. Mario rpg too. Damn it's a good rpg season.

Erik, I was happy to know what if my favorite RPGs was getting a remake, but after playing Star Ocean demo, it’s going to blow us all out of the water! Absolutely beautiful! The guy who was in charge of the demo, says it stays true to the game but enhances aspects which make the hame even better! The classic feel but with beautiful graphics remain intact! Since eiyuden is delayed to next year, this game is easily my most anticipated game for the rest of the year

Hell yeah! You have my respects for using Valkyrie's Drive soundtrack in this video right from the start!!!)))

I’m happy that so much promising RPG are going to be released! Currently looking forward for Infinity Strash as a Dai’s fan 😇

Great video as always!

Man my wallet is crying. What a time to be a JRPG fan though, my backlog is growing faster than I can finish these gems!

I'm actually shocked the DQ3 2DHD remake isn't chugging along a bit faster. I'm so looking forward to the Eiyuden vs Suikoden Remake shootout. I guess competition really does make everyone level up. Just unfortunate that Suikoden as a franchise doesn't seem to be in a position to continue.

I love the fact that Star Ocean games always release around my birthday. I never have to pay for them because I get them as gifts.

Granblue and cry machina are the ones that i'm excited for. I love nier automata and baton kaitos!

Baten Kaitos is getting a European release, I pre-ordered it and it should arrive September 19, so if you can't find a release in your region and they won't make one, grab the European physical release!

This was very informative. Thanks. I didn't know about Monochrome Mobius, so I guess I should get that. I've been super-hyped for Eiyuuden ever since I first heard about it, but I don't mind waiting until next year. Star Ocean 2 Remake is going to take up a ton of my time.

Man you really became my most watched RU-vidr in the span of 2 months. W videos 👏

im not surprised Disgaea 6 didn't do too well. The story was fine imo and the 3D aspect was pretty good too to me ^^ My one main issue with it though is that it brought down the speed of some characters and their flashy attacks. For example, you know that insane blitz move Adell had in the previous 2D disgaea games where he's just barraging away at the enemy before blowing them up with the freaking force or something XP? Well here, its a series of painfully slow light jabs doing the same moves. I will grant a part of the issue behind dev (least as far as im aware of) is due to them making the mobile Disgaea game during the same time (hence one thing had more work on it than the other) but they could've at least made sure everything felt "fast paced" in combat or something like all the originals- i know it'd be a bit trickier due to the 3D graphics needing more power to make everything run smoother, but that's all just what I feel involves why the game didn't do as well as the past disgaea games. All the same definitely looking forward to 7 ^^

Really enjoyed the video! Now to add most of these games to the backlog until the hype makes me want to play them sooner 😆.

There's also a remaster, I think, coming these days: Rhapsody Marl Kingdom Chronicles, by NIS America.

Ur almost at 100k🎉 And I would like you to know that I have been here since 13k subs!

Regarding Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes, there's HD footage around youtube now! It was uploaded some weeks ago

GBF gacha game is actually available globally. It is one of the most accessible ones due to it being mobile and the content is actually synched with Japan.

Eiyuden Chronicle always looks amazing and I can't wait. Also, looking forward to Star Ocean second story remake.

1. Fate Samurai Remnant 2. Granblue Fantasy Relink 3. Decapolice 4. Cry Machina 5. Star Ocean 2 R 6. Mario RPG Remake 7. Disgaea 7 8. Nayuta 9. Baten Kaitos 1&2 remaster 10. Infinity Strash 11. Eiyuden Chronicle 12. Suikoden 1&2 remaster 13. Monochrome Mobius 14. Persona 5 Tactica 15. Persona 3 Reload

Erik : New games coming out! So first we have Fate Sam- Me : Say no more. Buying.

Star Ocean: The Second Story R, Super Mario RPG Remake, the Nayuta game looks interesting, and Infinity Strash. Also, hoping for more info on Ys 10, Dragon Quest 3 2D-HD remake and Dragon Quest 12.

I just want to let you guys know that Eternights will release on the 12th. It's an action rpg with a bit of dating sim, like Persona but action. Looks interesting tbh and I already pre-ordered it on Steam.

Subscribed just cause of Fate/Extra Record mentioned.

I am so looking forward to so many games that are coming up. I had to make the hard choice to decide which game to pre-order with Granblue Fantasy Relink or Persona 3 Reload but I'll probably get both lol. On top of that I can't wait to try Nayuta and, when it comes out, Fantasy Life i !!!!

There're very many good RPGs this year man, I'll have to do some extra jobs to pay for it 😅

I definetly want to get Deca Police!

I've gotta be honest, the Suikoden remaster clips you've used in this video look like RPG Maker games I see on the mobile app store.

From what I read it sounds like Disgaea 6 was like a "practice" game for the developers to prepare to make Disgaea 7 as they have taken elements and refined them. For example, auto-battle was introduced in 6 as a new very divisive game mechanic that feels like it betrays the spirit of the game to some but feels like a solution to grinding to others. Disgaea 7 seems to be finding a happy medium where you can only auto battle a stage after winning a fight legitimately at least once.

If you have not played star ocean the second story, get it when it comes out. A quirky gem of a game and in my top 5 psx rpgs.

Anyone watching this video not playing Sea of Stars should probably rectify that problem it's incredible

i finished cry star and would love cry machina the art style is so good

You should check out Wandering Sword and Small Saga, both are coming out soon ish and look great.

Not sure if this was mentioned here before but Sword of Convallaria could be another hot title for your list. Anyways thanks a lot for the video!

Granblue relink was first announced in August 2016

This year and next year lots of big RPGs. Also new expansion to Tales of Arise, probably with a new Tales of game coming out next year too. We still have the juggernaut in FF7 coming out as well. I'm happy I've got a year plus of RPGs coming out in the next 6 months.

"Except the switch" hurts 🙃

What’s the game that was playing at the outro?

OLD Switch really need to go! We need Switch 2 NOW!!

I can confirm that "Nayuta Boundless Trails" has already been out for a while, at least a year if I recall But regardless, would recommend if you not played it yet

Play-Asia is doing a physical release for the Baten Kaitos remasters 🤙

IKR Decapolice is one of rpg that I really can't wait to get release 😭

Dream Tactics, Kingsvein, Relic Space, Shattered Heaven, Orion's End

Great video but I am sad there is no mentioning of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Dragon Quest Monster: The Dark Prince and Rune Factory 3 Special

Finally granblue fantasy, I've been waiting for it for very long time

I'm curious with gran blue and p3 reload

Persona 3 Remake will be on "Switch 2", mark my words

P5T releasing on game pass is so awesome, I can't wait.

Eyuden and many spring 2024 release will be on Switch 2. Maybe even Persona 3

Here in Europe Baten Kaitos is available physically it seems.

Crymachina releases on my birthday, I'll be playing it on steamdeck!

infinity trash is what it says on the seek bar was that intentional

Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster has a physical over here (EU). No import needed.

*Getting both* But honestly looking more forward to metaphor re fantazio compared to p3 remake

Maybe getting: Eiyuden Chronicles, Suikoden remaster, Star Ocean remaster Definitely getting: Deca Police, Mario RPG, P5 Tactica, Dragon Quest Dai. Little surprised you didn't mention the more recent Dragon Quest Dai anime which the game is based off. In any case, really good video, man!

hey man, what's your take on FFXVI?

i'm looking for a game that i saw the trailer but can't find it anymore that have a look like persona 5 with weird stuff and the graph look insane anyone know the name ?

Persona is gonna take over my life again real soon

Oh yeah, Metal Slug Tactics... I thought it was out and I just missed the announcement but nope. Anyway: picking up Fate/Samurai Remnant when it's out, no doubt! Also tempted by Mario RPG but I don't know, will have to see lol Once at a time!

Erik, What do you think of the new Mana game coming in 2024? "Visions of Mana"

P3 reloaded is the most hyped I have been in a long while

Baiten Kratos is physically in Europe for sure. I will confess not many games on your list excite me. Star Ocean and Super Mario RPG do though. Guess I can't wait for the new Ys game.

How has Metaphor refantize not made this list

No love for Metaphor: Re Fantazio?

I need a list in the description.

"Might give this a try" aka if I get a code or it goes on sale in 3 years for $25

When Gran Blue Fantasy Relink in development, was *expecting* a Switch release. It's a bummer there's *no* Switch release...yet. Hope there might be down the line. *Wish* that Dragon Quest Adventures of Dai got a Western physical release, rather than being limited to Asian physical.

Banger video

The anime of Dragon Quest: ADVENTURE OF DAI has been finished at last this years...and it was AMAZING!!!!!! In Mexico it was Fly, not Dai... Jejejeje

where is metaphor refantazio? from the team that creating persona 5

If they finally remake Golden Sun I can die in peace

Physical version of baten kaitos is available in PlayAsia

Fate samurai is a musou

Oh, still no news on Dragon Quest 3? It's been a while since SE said anything about it

Just a thought about Persona 3 Reload not releasing on Switch... Is it possible that with all these "Switch 2" rumours circulating that Nintendo may actually be about to unveil a new console and Persona 3 is coming to that but for obvious reasons can't announce it? I'm hopeful for now.

As long as they release on PC, I am happy.

Star Ocean and Persona 3 are my go to! And straight for the throat if the Persona 3 skips out on the PSPs female protagonist, losing FES is crappy enough.

The devs have already said crymachina isn’t a sequel its its own thing😅

I'm looking forward to more than half on the list there! I'M ready, but my wallet isn't! lol I'm going to have to disappear around Thanksgiving, Christmas & New Year! xD

Seriously, though, what is Atlus thinking with TWO Persona 3 remakes in the same year, and neither the definitive version????

Have you thought of talking about rpgs that have a slow or bland or even straight up bad start, but get very good later? And/or rpgs that have a great start but get worse and disappointing later? Not sure how much spoiler-free its better to go in these kind of videos, but anyways its always up to you.

Showing that people can talk bad about the current remaster/remake culture, but when there are good projects people get all on their knees about them

Wait, Fate Samurai Remnant is supposed to be an "official" Fate Musou right? Not an Action RPG.

Whats the problem with p5 spin-offs? Atlus is not three men team, thats a big studio and they need to have atleast two releases in a year to keep investors happy. And they deffently working on p6 in the background

Im dying for SO2R

You actually can play the grand blue fantasy mivile game in english

I want P3R so fucking bad
