First quarter of 2024 was crazy for JRPG releases, but what about for the rest of the year?

What were the first quarter ones? Been out of the loop and looking for some good JRPGs.

Voted for the one that's full of demon chicks and hee hos.

Yakuza 8 and Unicorn Overlord, as far as I'm aware.

Edit: forgot a out Final Fantasy VII Remake part 2 or whatever the fuck it's called.

Also, maybe Dragon's Dogma 2, but I don't think it qualifies as a JRPG.

 

[Killer8]

No Metaphor: ReFantazio in the poll...

I'd go with that and Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. I might get back into FFXIV with Dawntrail. And I hope the Suikoden remaster resurfaces this year.

Persona 3 remake, FF7Rebirth Granblue relink, possibly Dragons Dogma 2

Persona 3 R released as well. Plus couple more I am forgetting.

Personally looking toward “Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes” and Fantasy Not Persona, aka Metaphor: ReFantazio.

 

[kanjobazooie]

Emerald Beyond?

 

[SantaC]

Personally Legend of Heroes: Trails through daybreak is the biggest one left. Falcom never disappoints and I heard good stuff about this one.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

So far only bought Rebirth, and ordered Paper Mario TTYD. Probably will wait for a complete edition of P3R which likely won’t be this year. Possibly Yakuza, but likely not this year.

I am so far behind even on last year’s titles.

 

[Topher]

No Metaphor: ReFantazio in the poll...

 

[adamsapple]

All the top 4 poll entries.

Also Metaphor.

it goes into other. Never heard of it.

 

[mayham2199]

Im all in on Trails. Can’t do day 1 since I leave for vacation soon after release but as soon as I get back. Like the day I get back I’m diving in.

 

[DannyDanger]

Ys X

High hopes, feel like it can be even better than YS VII, which was incredible imo

 

[Mr Hyde]

Unicorn Overlord, Ys 10 and Visions of Mana. Good times being a Jrpg - fan right now.

 

[Punished Miku]

Possibly Metaphor. Need to see more evidence its better than Persona, but I'm interested.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Visions of Mana is my #1, Ys X is a close second.

 

[cash_longfellow]

Ys and Visions of Mana for me.

 

[IAmRei]

YS X, love new adol's design.
.... Still doesnt like name Adol ....

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Also maybe Eiyuden Chronicle and Metaphor

 

[SantaC]

When the hell is Dragon Quest 12 coming out?

 

[bender]

Thousand Year Door is still my "big one".

 

[TintoConCasera]

When the hell is Dragon Quest 12 coming out?

yeah! but also, where is Dragon Quest III HD?

 

[Topher]

it goes into other. Never heard of it.

Obviously you are in the minority when you have multiple people saying it should be up there. Why not just add the game?

 

[Fbh]

Buying Rebirth when it's in the $40 range.

For the rest of the year:
Eiyuden Chronicle, YSX and SMTV

For Metaphor I'm just waiting 2-3 years until they release the actual complete version, like all Atlus games.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

These JRPGs are day one picks:

 

[Mister Wolf]

 

[PanzerCute]

SMT5V, Eiyuden Chronicles, Visions of Mana, Metaphor and Decapolice.

 

[Danjin44]

 

[Dazraell]

Metaphor and Paper Mario for me. I'm also somewhat curious of Eiyuden Chronicles and SMT5V

 

[Sleepwalker]

Thousand Year Door is still my "big one".

And the only correct answer to the poll.

 

[Robb]

TTYD is the only one I’ll be getting. I’m generally not a big fan of more “serious” JRPG’s.

 

[Rickyiez]

OP did Refantazio dirty. It's one of the big JRPG and for all you know, could be the best one this gen

 

[Sensei]

Only Metaphor for now. Hopefully more if I have time.

 

[German Hops]

That's a weak-ass list.

 

[Guilty_AI]

Granblue Fantasy Relink

 

[StueyDuck]

Voted for the one that's full of demon chicks and hee hos.

So all of them

Is the game seriously called Metaphor: ReFantazio? One of the worst naming i ever seen. I doubt it will be any good.

So you are judging entire game based on name? People said same thing about Unicorn Overlord and that game turned out fantastic! Also I can‘t think of any Hashino made that was bad, most game he made all turned out great in my opinion.

 

[diffusionx]

Paper Mario TTYD because I never played the original. But I also never played SMT5, and really liked Trials of Mana, so dunno, still seems like lots of good stuff coming out.

 

[Celcius]

Ff14 dawntrail
The pc version of ff16

Don't forget Triangle Strategy, a pretty cool game with one of the worst names I've ever seen.

 

[RoboFu]

Jrpg are a shell of their former greatness but I am looking forward to y's Nordic.

 

[CosmicComet]

Ys X.
SaGa: Emerald Beyond.
Eiyuden Chronicles.
Visions of Mana.

 

[PonyStation4]

Final Fantasy 15-2 is coming out later this year as well

 

[BennyBlanco]

SMTV (again) and YS X are day 1s

 

[TheDreadLord]

I am on the hype train for Eiyuden Chronicles.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Other: as in all of those and a few more unlisted here.

 

[Hudo]

Other two ones I am looking forward to are: SMT5: Vengeance and Shadow of the Erdtree.
