20 JRPGs Perfect for Newcomers 

Idk why the final game looks like that but ima leave it cuz it’s hilarious 😭 IF U ENJOYED MAKE SURE TO SUB WE ARE ALMOST AT 1K 💫

I only started following you on Twitter recently, but I've loved your enthusiasm for the Tales/SO series, so I thought I'd pop in to watch your video here and I'm so glad I did! You named some really perfect titles - with plenty of my personal favorites making appearances - and your enthusiasm for each entry really shone through. Plus, as a massive Symphonia fan, I appreciate and respect people who can say "it wasn't for me, but I think you should still give it a go". I'll surely be tuning in for more of your videos soon :)

I've been waiting for this!

Oooh some very very good picks right there. If I may would add my pics as well - NieR: Automata (for that fast speed fun combat, and an intriguing but depressing narrative, with some bit more polish in its designs than Replicant) - Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition (as an alternative to Symphonia Remastered.) - Trails in the Sky FC (if you’re into Classic turn based JRPGs with a fun little twist that have a well crafted narrative, also Trails from Zero isn’t a bad option either) - Trails of Cold Steel 1 (an alternative if it looks more appealing than Sky and if it wins over, you can go back fo past Trails games) - Star Ocean: The Divine Force (if you could look past some of the technical issues, and also want to have fun flying and exploring as well as enjoying a more large scale fantasy and Sci Fi story, with some truly fast speedy combat to boot) - Scarlet Nexus (if high speed action combat, with a cool anime artstyle with a futuristic setting and hanging out with your friends is your go)

This is a nice list bro and very well narrated too :)

AMAZING LIST! I LOVE IT!!

I can SO agree on Yakuza 0 feeling like a Beat 'Em Up, as well as EVERYTHING about TWEWY (including bad controls). Do you have interest in the more JRPG-like Yakuza: Like a Dragon?

Not a bad list! I do believe that for Tales, the best titles for newcomers to start with are: -Symphonia -Vesperia -Xillia -Arise

Awesome list, you just earn yourself a new subscriber

Definitely a solid list of newer games i'll eventually get around to playing. Personally i thought the original Persona 5 was a little better than Royal story-wise. Having done a bunch of playthroughs of the original the new characters they added felt kinda out of place to me, though i can see the appeal with starting with P5R as you mentioned in the video. Cant wait to see you enter your retro jrpg phase with ps1 classic Legend of Dragoon or maybe Fire Emblem Sacred Stones ;) though i will forever tell people to check out the AR Tonelico series. Enjoyable cast, turn based combat paired with a surprisingly in depth Song battle system that ive never seen done since. Also has crafting for those who enjoy that/want to do oodles of damage

List is fantastic

Dude life is too short😂. Jokes aside, I love that nowadays it's practically very affordable to be a gamer. They release so frequently that I can't keep up and I'm good with just buying the 3 year old stuff for cheap 💟

5:19 OH SHIT I SEE MY NAME IM ON TV HI MAAA

I'm a beginner, I'd have to say Persona 5 is my #1, it's the only JRPG that I didn't even have to look online what to do, everything came naturally in the game, I was never lost or stuck in one level, unlike say DQ11 where I was clueless where to go or what to unlock to have a quest available. I started to figure it out right after finishing Act 1, while with Persona 5, it was like playing a typical single-player adventure game with RPG elements

Symphonia was great! But if I were to recommend another tales game in place of Symphonia I would probably recommend Vesperia for strong gameplay and characters.

what is your setup for recording. your voice sounds so crisp and clear

It is a fine list but you are missing out by not going back before ~2000. Wild Arms, Suikoden, FF4,6,9, Chronotrigger, Phantasy Star 4, Breath of Fire 4, Lufia, etc. all very good stories and easy to digest

Oh hey, you're the first person I've seen on youtube who knows how to pronounce LiveALive

Dragon quest 11 s is also on PS4

Played DQ on xbox😊

That pokemon spot was a joke right? What is the actual number 1 spot?

Your videos remind me of some other youtube channels that cover RPGs, so I subscribed. lol If you are interested in other RPG youtube channels, you could check out SuperDerek RPGs, Davidvinc, The Kiseki Nut, LadyVirgilia, Backlog Battle, The Gaming Shelf, Miss Bubbles, PlayerEssence, SwitchRPG, NihonFalcomSince1981. Maybe you've heard of some of them already.

I would have put tales of vesperia on the list but that's just me.

Nino kuni remastered and chained echoes!

"number 20 on the list, Dragon quest xi...." Ah.....this is going to be a good list.....

0:01 what game is this?

Tales of Symphonia FAILS to be an RPG. The names are already set, it’s not turn-based, it’s more of a beat-em-up!
