I highly recommend this series if you have never played it, peak Square imo. What’s your favourite JRPG to play?
I just picked this up from the library, along with ori. I had never heard of ori before, and so had zero expectations, so far it’s a pretty fun platformer.
Glad to know octopath is good, hopefully I can get to it.
Persona 4 Golden, the GOAT
I was going to buy this one a while back, then I saw that it was like 85 bucks and got like 8 indie games instead. I might sail for it if I ever get off my ass and put the steam deck back together though.
Oof yeah that’s pricey! I picked up the first game second hand at EB Games a while back for like $30, I still don’t own a physical copy of 2 yet
Amazing game(s). I played it for 3 hrs on my Switch and then bought it on Steam to play it on my Deck at full res 60fps cause I wanted to experience it the best way I could.
2 in particular would look amazing on the SD!
Octopath 1+2 are a couple amazing games, the soundtracks, BP and discover and break weakness systems add some variety to the turn based combat, secret rare encounters, bosses, unlocks, etc. My all time favorites are ff7 and 8 that includes some heavy nostalgia, but if I were to pick up a turn based rpg today it would probably be an octopath or pillars of eternity game.
Sounds lovely. Enjoy!
Can’t say I have a favourite one to play as when I finish one I rarely go back. My favourites that I’ve played so far are Dragon Quest XI, Ys VIII Lacrimosa of Dana and Ruined King.
I’ve been meaning to get into the Ys series as I’ve never played them. Do you have a recommended starting point?
The sequel is waaaaaaay better by the way, I would play that if you only had the time to try one.
Totally agree! But the first game has a special place in my heart for some reason and I just really enjoy playing through it.
I was going to go straight into 2 once I finish this playthrough, buuuut I’m feeling Chrono Trigger next lol
