Oh I'm prepared lol. I've long heard it's quite the commitment. I think I'll be getting a bit faster in completing these, but Tales of Arise and XBC both took me 80 hours. So this might take me over 100.It is a 90+ hours game so be prepared for that.
Main story average is 101 Hours on HLTB. I just didn’t want to scare you lol.Oh I'm prepared lol. I've long heard it's quite the commitment. I think I'll be getting a bit faster in completing these, but Tales of Arise and XBC both took me 80 hours. So this might take me over 100.
We are also getting Amiibo for Mio & Noah and for Pyra and Mythra.Also I just noticed there is a limited edition soundtrack you can preorder right now. Comes with 1/3 scale replicas of Mio and Noah's flutes and a bunch of other cool stuff. Around 16.000 yen.
Preordered.
Eh gotta say, I find amiibo to be pretty trashy. If I'm going to be a weeb and buy some weeb stuff, I'd rather spend some money and get some higher quality stuff and not some kid toys.We are also getting Amiibo for Mio & Noah and for Pyra and Mythra.
Ive just completed xenoblade chronicles 2, starting the tora expansion now and if you like XCD then you have to play XC2 just purely because of how much better the combat isI've dipped my toe in the genre many times, only to quickly retract it because of "boring gameplay". I needed that fast twitch, hard as nails shit and JRPGs aren't that.
I completed Chrono Trigger (I mean, you gotta), Star Ocean 4, Tales of Symphonia, more recently Tales of Arise, Final Fantasy XIII (I know). Maybe a few others that aren't top of mind. But started and stopped many others and instead played games like Ninja Gaiden, Dark Souls, Mega Man, Monster Hunter, Metroidvanias, Street Fighter, Counter-Strike, etc. Stuff with a bit more immediate and consequential gameplay.
And yet, I've long felt that something was missing. The art, characters, definitely the enemy designs, mechanics, and grandiosity of JPRGs always called to me, but the idea of those games often clashed with reality in my head when I started playing one.
However, I recently completed Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition after 80 hours and thoroughly enjoyed it and now it's kind of all I want to play is JRPGs. I started Dragon Quest XI and haven't been able to stop playing when I have a free minute.
I'm not really sure what happened, but I finally get why the genre is beloved by so many and I can't wait to dive into titles I've always wanted to play (after DQXI of course).
Oh believe me, it's mighty high on my list. I played XBC just so I could get to 2.Ive just completed xenoblade chronicles 2, starting the tora expansion now and if you like XCD then you have to play XC2 just purely because of how much better the combat is

I did it, papa.that's my boy
Lightyears ahead of ya. Been watching anime for 25 years. Gimme that 90s shit.Time to upgrade and watch Anime, especially old anime, thats the better version.
I loved the first half of Arise. Then the last half was stretched into oblivion. Also, I've never, ever, seen or heard any example of any media be as narratively repetitive as Arise. I almost couldn't believe it.OP to their family,
And in an absolutely serious note, if you enjoyed Tales of Arise, I'd suggest Tales of Berseria and Tales of Vesperia (personally I loved both immensely, especially Vesperia).
Trails in the sky 1-3 are only on PC. I would recommend you start with Trails From Zero, next its direct sequel Trails to Azure, then play through Cold Steel 1 - 4. All English speaking Trails fans are waiting for Reverie to release this July.
Well that does sound pretty interesting...(goddamnit lol)It's honestly one of the best JRPG series out there. It's the MCU of JRPGs. Every game is inter-connected and takes place in the same world. The world building is unparalleled in this series.
I enjoyed P5 a lot but got to be kidding me with that.Now play Persona 5 Royal and get sad knowing no other jrpg is going to be that good ever again

By the by, games like XC2 and XC3 are greatly enriched by their DLC which adds playable characters, story quests and arenas and the like. It's not the type of thing where you would play the base game and then if you like it add the DLC, I would strongly recommend having the DLC from the get-go as it improves things alot and the new characters/features will show up early and enhance the experience. Games like XC2 have their haters but I think many of the criticisms people level against the game were addressed by patches and DLC so that when I got around to playing it the whole experience was great.Oh believe me, it's mighty high on my list. I played XBC just so I could get to 2.
My body is ready.
Yeah, and that's its biggest problem.It's honestly one of the best JRPG series out there. It's the MCU of JRPGs. Every game is inter-connected and takes place in the same world. The world building is unparalleled in this series.
Just looking at that picture gives me fatigue lolYeah, and that's its biggest problem.
Who the fuck has the mental strenght to play one after another? Or to be forced to play all of them if interested in a different one down the line?

Honestly wasn't that difficult for me. I played the Cold Steel games first. Then played Sky and recently finished the Crossbell games. They're inter-connected, but each series has its own focused storyline.
Now that's a game that needs a remaster.I don't play JRPGs often, but when I do, I prefer The Last Story on Wii. sips Dos Equis
Maybe the idea (taken from the novel sequence) is the same but I don’t think MCU is something you should say if you want to recommend something to other people.It is. It's the only JRPG series where every game is inter-connected in the same universe. Cold Steel IV is essentially Endgame, especially the endwhere every character from previous games appear from Dr. Strange portals to fight the main villain.
These people are missing out on a great franchise. I go back and forth between Xeno and Trails as to which one is my favorite.
