I can't believe it's against the law for Japan to make JRPGs now because of Expedition 33

I didn't learn it was a team ninja game until after my brothers and I beat the campaign
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order
[Nintendo Switch 2019]
2.8/5
Slog
Multiplayer is the only value beyond the cast
Characters are paper thin Disney copy pastes
Colorfully sterile visuals
Hollow cash ploy with little redeeming elements

[Playstation 4 2021]
3.9/5
Reverently carries the legacy of the series
Worthy overture to the anime
Exhilarating high fantasy
Delectably crunchy visuals bring a tactile bite to themes of nostalgia
Story relies on previous franchise knowledge
I am Setsuna

2.8/5
Intentionally one note, unintentionally uninteresting
Inelegantly convoluted
A bland repetitive slog that lacks its own identity
Falls short of in all areas of derivation

ใใกใใฌในใไบซๅใใ

4.5/5
Hauntingly tranquil, mysteriously warm
Simultaneously comfortable and eerie
1st ending enhances the experience of the 2nd
Example of the expressive art games can be
Direct connection to the heart of the creator

4/5
Emotionally satisfying, but derivative
Lives up to its influences in heart
Plays with the format it was born of without subverting
2nd half excels beyond promises made in the 1st
Flaws do not pull the emotional gut punches

Dragon Quest II [iOS 2014]
4.5/5
A second helping of pure enchantment
2 parts of the same game
Delightful expansion of everything that made the first beloved
Winsome to see the world a generation from where you left it
Companions makes the experience less solitary

Dragon Quest [iOS 2014]
4.5/5
Pure delight
Brimming with charm
Easy to see why this spawned a series that remains one of the peaks of Mt. JRPG today
A story clichรฉd, but as my first DQ, the experience enchanted
Playable one-handed, making it my traintime RPG of choice

Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers [Nintendo 3DS 2013]
4/5
90โs rave culture preserved in blue amber
Violently whisks Y2K zeitgeist with the occult to produce the demonic Cool Whip that made SMT famous
Challenge, intrigue, evil government plot, and a gun shaped computer
#gaming #jrpg #atlus
GOODBYE WORLD [Nintendo Switch 2022]
3.8/5
Classically addictive puzzle platformer wrapped in a story of game designers finding the hollow heart of industry
Unique and endearingly stylish presentation
Taps into the core of being a free falling artist
More than the sum of its parts

4/5
Deep strategic card battles
Thatโs all and itโs enough
The hollow first act couldn't dispell my absorption into the board game at the center of the series
The story expands to fit the true to form JRPG mold, leaving you satisfied

Vagrant Story [Playstation 2000]
3.4/5
Deserves a remake more than FFIX
Tone is Shakespearean Metal Gear Solid
Story, artstyle, and drama resonate, but rusted mechanics turn it to a slog compared to it's modern counterparts
A slog I loved trudging through

Breath of fire 4 cover from playstation 1 A large portrait of Ryu handling a sword in the background with Fou-Lou staring off in the distance in the foreground
Breath of Fire IV [Sony Playstation 2000]
4.1/5
A true classic
A perfect mesh of playful/macabre story beats from a series at the height of its renown
Peak PS1 Capcom sprite animations flow fluidly across soft-glow dreamlike environments
Riddled with secrets wroth finding

Star Ocean: First Departure R [Nintendo Switch 2019]
3.7/5
Enchanting science fantasy adventure
Shallow character development that is widened by the amount of conditional scenes and party members
Lacking QoL improvements date the game to a PSP release.

4.6/5
Nostalgia turned whimsy of a childhood mystery.
Lush colors of Japanโs summer bloom into an experience rarely localized.
Simple engaging card battles, charming characters, and a movie length playtime.

Crimson Shroud (ใฏใชใ ใพใณใทใฅใฉใฆใ) [Nintendo 3DS 2012]
4.5/5
Swashbuckling tabletop RPG wrapped in the high fantasy of Ivalice. Challenging turnbased battles in which every decision is pivotal. The drama of each plot twist remains heightened due to the short playtime.

Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology [Nintendo 3DS 2017]
3.3/5
Like a western indie RPG made in Japan. Innovative combat can't make up for cardboard characters and dull dialogue. The additions for this edition save the late game, but the stapled-on delivery pulls the impact.

(JP: Zone of the Enders: 2173 Testament)
3.4/5
Thoughtfully complex story, charming characters, challenging gameplay, limited by the era that produced it, but works well within those limits.
