30 BIG Must-Buy Nintendo Switch RPGS ! 

I'm shocked BOTW isn't on there. It's on every list.

How u miss baldurs gate and divinity original sin smh

You’re a patriot, I was hoping the poster would have this list up…

the two best games last? Cringe

@@benjaminaswad6486 adventure game, not a rpg

Such an enjoyable game! The story has its surprises too. This was my gateway into JRPGs.

Ahhh still not finished it and fell into backlog with xeno 3 and persona 5 and bayonetta next damn

Playing it now almost at 100 hours. Very strong game

what book?

@@ja1799 they wrote the book. It’s a saying meaning they created the JRPG formula coming out with the first ever RPG to the NES in 1986. That’s one year and some change before Final Fantasy 1.

Super Robot Wars (V in particular) is fantastic. All great games, so much packed into them.

Dam bro you need your own RU-vid channel

Screenshot your post. Thank you

Great List!

Yeah, some games are definitely missing, like Ori, Hollow Knight, Child of Light (even thought they aren't exactly rpgs) but there is also Hades missing there, Digimon Survive, that is as amazing as it is 13 Sentinels, and like you said, there is missing Final Fantasy XII and Final Fantasy X, Tales of Vesperia, The Wither 3, for sure, and for these who likes animes, Sword Art Online Hollow Realization and Alicization, are great jrpgs. Ps. I tried playing Divinity Origin 2, looks great, really, the story, world and everything, but i just feel like this game could play better on PC and with somebody who had a lot of time to focus on this gameplay details, because it sucks the life out of you, lol, so i puted on my backlog for when i'm like 70 years with nothing to do, lmao. About Vesperia, i loved the story and characters but not much of the gameplay, remember me Skyrim a lot, where the missions are like "go find this person on the woods" and they don't tell us which wood or where in the woods, since they're a lot and very big and this just made me spend a lot of time searching for things instead of actually playing thought the story. And to finish up everything FFX could had need a update about the fixed camera, my only complain there, and on FFXII, the battle system made me so mad, lol, i only played the beginning, but i hated that red line and the fact where i could only attack one person or monster after 5 seconds, but they could all approach me and attack me at the same time. Btw, i could love to try out monster hunter now that we can have NPCs helping us out instead of online people, but i still think that there isn't much story there to make it worth it, like with Astral Chain. Recently i got Age of Calamity and Three Hopes, it will still arrive, my first musou, i really hope there is a story to back it up. I'm excited for Harvestela and Tactics Ogre Reborn, but i'm in doubt about how their stories are going to play out, since Diofield was quite disappointing, maybe i should try the Rune Factory that people talk about it so much.

Nice list! Can you play trials zero without playing any other game in the series? Also do I need to play Altelia games in any order?

Couldn't agree more 👏 It's selling out quick and is one of best JRPGs I've played in a long time

No, I don't.

Ps4 version has been Sold Out at Gamestop. Switch version is actually the superior port though and it's still availiable.

Got on pc... its a damn lot of reading text so hard to get into

@@ZeNex74 true... ahahaha

Most those games are mid, Skyrim and Diablo are on everything. Wouldn’t be a very interesting list.

No different from a Disney fan

He doesn’t play all genres tho 😅 he’s def more of an rpg fan

@@GoldChocobo77 yeah I know 😅

I have a love hate relationship with OJ and player essence. I love all the games he recommends, I hate it leaves my wallet lighter and my backlog bigger.

@@RayWoods same, I'm a relatively new subscriber though. I guess telling you to go watch the SwitchWatch imports video won't help either eh? 🤣 Those guys earned playasia so much of my money. I'm sure going forward OJ will cost me many paychecks worth of games 🤣 I definitely think OJ's going to grow a pretty big audience, he's one of my fave channels as of late.

Borderlands is good on switch! The legendary collection is a classic.

Ps5 is better . I own xbox and switch

Is Dead or School actually good? I've had it on my playasia "short list" for a while but never pulled the trigger. I think a seller on Amazon has it as well. Maxima is another one on my playasia list as well.

@@JJ-et7il I think it´s good, it´s a side scrolling action RPG like the action stages of Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin and DEX. The post apocalyptic story centered around Tokyo is also interesting. Definitely worth your time if you like side scrolling action RPGs.

The only difference now is that they're consistently being localized.

@@RawPower867 yes true, also in the era of N64/Wii/GC Nintendo lost lots of RPG but now they are the home for RPGs for the most part.

@@shadowsquid1351 Pretty much. All it's really missing is Star Ocean 6, Granblue Fantasy Relink, and a competent port of Kingdom Hearts. I'd also like to see Falcom port over whatever games it hasn't already.

Such a stress reliever after a long day of work.

Weird I passed on three houses because of all the relationship building stuff (everyone tells me to play it as I loved triangle strategy) somehow I didn't know anything about three hopes existence.

Thanks for playing my game!!!

Bayonetta isn't an RPG? Definitely a classic action hack n slash game through and through imo.

@Jack I could understand someone calling Astral Chain an Action RPG to some degree. Not sure I agree necessarily, but yeah. Bayonetta absolutely is not haha.

they should just make better controllers, at least they will fix it for you if you send it in to them.

True its sad they also declining in sales in recent years in Japan

@@Touma_S Not too crazy its because Sony legit abandoned Japan and they were all on with that platform unfortunately. I kinda hope they partner with Xbox tbh but NIS since getting publishing rights is bringing all the games West which is hype.

@@TheEregosyep Nisa doing good still translation errors and the whole lawsuit to fan translator team though . I'd say it's more new audiences wanting to try the series but not wanting to put time into all the games

Thanks for that, I'll have to check it out. I'm always all ears for indie lesser known games and while I lean heavily on RPG more than metroidvania, this game sounds good by your description. I'm always down to find new indie titles I haven't heard of.

@@JJ-et7il ​ One cool part about the game is most of the game was done BY one guy a self taught programmer although he had help with the story and hired a company called HyperDuck SoundWorks to make the music.

@@melficeskye292 I love that kind of thing. Stardew Valley is an incredible game made by 1 guy. That being said, there's no shame in outsourcing certain aspects to professionals. If I were making a game I definitely would need help since it requires at bare minimum an intermediary knowledge of several different things. I think even teams of 5-10 people creating something good, it's pretty amazing to me.

If you Playstation Plus Extra. DQ XI is free....but if you only have the Switch, go with Persona 5. One is darker, the other seems a bit childlike with the humor.

Western RPGs arent good.
