Thank you for showcasing Gales of Nayeli! We recently added battle animations to really hit that GBA Fire Emblem unit feel! We hope you like the demo, too!!
Card-en-Ciel and Haruka have my attention, and there's just so many upcoming games to look forward to in general. Great list Taylor, love how much you were able to cram within this video!
As always fantastic video man! A lot of these games are on my wishlist already and I can't wait to play them all. It's great to see how many Indie RPGs are coming up and it's awesome that you give them a Spotlight!
Wow didnt expect maliki poison of the past to appear here ! It's based on a french comic yes (maliki) while being a complete original story made for the game!
@@UnfairBandicoot Yeah. I know him from a game dev website we're both members of, and I've played some of his games. Venaitura is well worth checking out if you like the old-school retro RPG vibes. I've yet to try out To Aerthen, though I will when I have more time for my backlog. He has some free games released that are pretty fun - Dragon Fantasy, Chronicles of Tsufanubra and Hellion (he helped the dev, kentona, with it). Venaitura is probably my favourite of his so far (though Scarmonde may change that). I enjoyed the characters and world in that one and highly recommend it to anyone who wants a DQ-esque RPG with quality of life features and quirky story. You can have a dog in your party and that's really all that I need say to sell it. XD
Always appreciate these. And how you mention how to support these smaller devs! As an additional note, Inti Creates also made the Megaman Zero/ZX series. Some of my personal favorites.
I been waiting for Anima Song of the Abyss for a while now, it looks so cool! Anima Gate of Memories was criminally underrated especially the Nameless Chronicles Expansion Wish there were as many ps2 era 3d hack n slash inspired indie games as there are all the various pixel games
Short games are good, it´s nice to have something short you know you can get the full experience in a few days to slot in between all these 50+ hour games in my backlog
one cool thing about Lumentale: Memories of Trey is that the developers made a pokemon fangame called "pokemon xenoverse" in the past, which is a pretty good fangame, and apparently Trey (the protagonist?) comes from that game somehow, it's pretty cool
The time travel one reminds me of CrisTales where the time travel can be used to weaken enemies and bosses or potentially strengthen them. The art style is interesting and the story doesn't seem to be bad at all, I've only played the demo, but I recommend checking it out
Wow, I've never heard of any of these. That's a really nice list, even if not all of them are actually JRPGs. I'll personally keep an eye on that Ni no Kuni lookalike.
Just comes to show how big the indie scene is for rpgs is because i have been exploring around and checking out upcoming games on and off for the past few years and i haven't even heard of half of these. More to the wish list i guess 🤣 Also i would like in Maliki when it was mentioned that you can throw enemies through time that some enemies would pop in out of nowhere because future/past you didn't feel like fighting them at the time.
Every time I see "Lost Hellden" I ugly-cry at the localisation mistake... ("Helden" is German for "hero", with some grammatical shenanigans. Refer to Strauss's "Ein Heldenleben".) That's all assuming that I'm correct, though, but I'm not finding anything outside of swedish politics when I look up "hellden".
@@TheGamingShelf I know, but ps3 ys looks better than these games and octopath traveler is 6 years old on 7 year old hardware and the indie scene can't catch up?
"Takes place in 90's earth. Would be interesting to see how that is like." What are you talking about? 90's were like... *Checks calender* 34 years ago... Ugh...
For me I do not have much interest with those upcoming games. One reason is that TOO MANY new games have been released! If I had to pick ONE game from this list, it would be "SerialWorld", and it is a currently good-looking game in my opinion. Other games on this list are just basic and something I have seen before.
IMO, JRPG is more of a style of game rather than where the game is made. For example, Sea of Stars was made in France but I feel like it's way more of a JRPG than say Dragon's Dogma II, which is more of Western-style RPG made in Japan.
The lines seem to be getting more and more blurred as time goes on. I lean HEAVILY towards jrpgs and have been seeing many jrpgs drifting towards mashing other genres in and/or removing many of the jrpg elements as franchises go on
My biggest gripe with Lost Hellden is the fact that you only see you character in the overworld and not the full party, always a shame when games do this
