Carighan MaconarSea of Stars has completed development and gone gold!
dreklyNice! It looks like a modern take on a classic chrono-style RPG
this is a game from the same developer as The Messenger, I really like The Messenger, especially the humour, I just wish at least they bring that humour in Sea of Stars as well
The messenger was a fantastic game. This is completely different, but Iāll give it a try considered the developer.
JarmerSame! Messenger was just SO GOOD.
Brawler YukonItās not only by the same dev, itās actually a prequel to The Messenger, set a couple thousand years before.
First time I see this, looks great!
Did not know about this, but it looks great! Wishlisting it
MaestroI played the demo of this during the last Steam demo week. I liked it!
Same here. It felt really good, looking forward to it.
Yeah the demo was great, and that boss musicā¦ chefās kiss
CotillionBecause of games like this im leaning more and more toward indie games. We had so many good inde games in last few years.
And i always buy games like this at full price because developer/s deserve.
Seeing it for the first time now. I need this.
Straiiiiight on the wishlist, although I hope it will release on GOG eventually š¤
AzzuLooks like Golden Sun
Iāve been waiting all year for this to come out! š
Apparently I had already added it to my wishlist. Thanks past me!
Iāll be taking a look at this in Gamepass. Looks really nice.
Hope itās a good a place as any to ask this. Iāve got an itch for a jrpg in the classic style, but one with modern conveniences.
Never finished FFVI because I put it down and later didnāt know where I was nor was doing. Completed Golden Sun I and II, but only with the aid of walkthroughs. Tried a buch of others but donāt really remember them.
Well, whatās your question?
Oh, kind of missed that. Recommendations for a great modern JRPG in the classic style?
CrossCode - this isnāt a jrpg per ser but Iād say itās heavily inspired by them. Iāve been playing it for a while and it really is a gem of a game. I adore it
Other modern games which are a jrpgs that I havenāt played but heard good things are Chained Echoes and Octopath Traveller
ubergeek77I love seeing all the CrossCode recommendations, and on Lemmy of all places. Here I thought no one knew about it!
Easily my favorite game of all time. I donāt think it ever drops the ball, the combat is awesome, the story is incredible, and the characters are so well written that youāll think theyāre actually real people.
The biggest criticism is the gameās puzzles, but they arenāt really as bad as some (very impatient) people make them out to be, and there are options to decrease the difficulty of the puzzles.
Dude I had CrossCode on my steam wishlist for like 4 years or so and never thought much about it, until at the beginning of this year, I saw a video basically saying to no let games like this one die in obscurity when they deserve the attention and praise of AAA games.
So I bought it on Steam sale and fuck, I wholeheartedly agree with that video. I just beat my first dungeon and got the first element and itās just so much fun. Love the characters to death. Like I said, it truly is a severely underrated gem that needs more praise so Iām doing my best to spread the love lol
I love crosscode. Although I'd say it is more of an action rpg than a jrpg. The combat system is real time hack and slash with only a select set of special abilities you unlock as you play.
Still, the other elements are very jrpg-ish. Loads of people, items, and exploration. And lots of talking.
Itās hard when we donāt know what you have played. My go to recommendation is always Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch if you never played it. It will always hold a special place in my heart. I feel Octopath and Bravely Default are played by 99% of people interested in jrpgs. Chained Echoes should be a good recommendation as well. But you might have played all these.
Basically the only JRPGs that I remember anything of, story or mechanics wise, is FFVI and Golden Sun I&II. So really a blank slate and looking at at pretty much all recommendations.
Go with my mentions then! They are awesome!
Definitely Chained Echoes. It has a lot of modern touches.
You get healed after every fight and so you actually get to use skills. You only level up after boss battles so the game is scaled properly and you dont need to grind. The overheat system is also a good mechanic to spice up turn-based battles.
OtakuAltairI heavily recommend CrossCode. Hands-down one of my all time faves.
Chained Echoes was also published by Deck13 and is equally amazing. Itās turn-based, unlike CrossCode.
Wishlists, looks like a great Deck game.
Maybe for when I finish Eastward.
