Are these the only two worthwhile JRPGs to have come out this generation?

JRPGs, user. Not visual novels.

ys is barely even an rpg at all, its just a shitty budget action series

Yes.

Some weebs will bring up Fagsona, though and review scores hat it got from weeb reviewers.

Stay mad nindies

YS VIII
Xenoblade X
etrian odyssey V
SMT IV/IV:A
nier: A

good post

>traditional
ys is one of the first jRPGs

Nier has always counted as a JRPG, SRPGs and DRPGs count as well, they aren't mutually exclusive.

I bought DQ XI a few days ago , im at gallopia or w/e and i've got buyers remorse, i dont even like jrpgs im just that fucking bored of video games

Im never buying another game, im just over this shitcan hobby 100%

fuck video games

You idiots should probably play Nier Automata already.

Not even close

1. It's a hack and slash game
2. It's shit
No it has not

Nier automata is closer to dmc than to jrpgs. I assume DMCV is a jrpg aswell then.

Xenocringe 2 was God awful but DQ was good.

The fact that you only have 1 single webm to "prove your point" makes it sound like you are more angry than anything.

original post chief

You can only have a max of 1 webm in a post retard

So where are these other webms then? Oh wait, you didn't play it (:

There's the cringy sleep walking Mythra scene, there's the cringy giant chibi maid robot scene, there's the Pyra and Mythra kitchen scene, Poppi in general, ect. Keep telling yourself that it isn't the most anime game in existence.

you can make more than 1 post

Xenoblade 2 is a terrible game. It's so generic and the artstyle even show this. There's nothing original at all along that nobody enjoys a shit ton of cliche shitty tropes or gacha. It's only liked because of coomers.

>Xenoblade 2 is a terrible game
Nope, you never played it.

You don't need to play a game to know it's shit

you've barely started the game

Atelier Firis

If you like Dragon Quets you have awful taste in JRPGs. Some people like JRPGs for the plot, some people like JRPGs for the complex gameplay, and some people like JRPGs because seeing numbers go up while a bland hero's journey plays out in the background makes them happy. The third group can safely be ignored when it comes to topics about JRPGs.
If someone likes plot, you can have a rousing discussion about which JRPGs have had the most thrilling plots or well-written characters or so on. If someone likes complex gameplay, you can have a nice discussion about which JRPG challenged you the most or which was the most mentally invigorating to play.
If someone just likes numbers going up, then there's no discussion to be had. They don't put thought into the games they're playing. Main character? Might as well be silent. Plot? Don't be too complex, they'll lose track of what's going on. Complex gameplay? They'll grind to skip it, or complain if they can't. Just plop a silent Hero on screen so they can spam default attacks and giggle as their level goes up. They'll even rave about how they're the "pinnacle of JRPGs", because for some reason stripping out everything that makes JRPGs good - the capacity for more elaborate plots and the complexity of the gameplay - is a peak to them and not a nadir.

So yeah. If someone says DQ is their favoruite JRPG series or anything like that, you know to ignore them. I have literally never met anyone who loves DQ and has good taste. At least when Final Fantasy fucks up (FF8) you end up with a fascinating game that's worth talking about. DQ manages to be consistently boring, lifeless, repetitive, and so on. Literally games for children that, logically enough, manchildren latch onto.

The only standout JRPG this generation was SaGa SCARLET GRACE: AMBITIONS

It is very anime, but that doesn't make it a bad game altogether.

>anime

DQ is also very anime

i never said dragon quest was good....

poppi is based fuck off

Anime games are the best. You just have shit taste

don't pretend you're another user

I want you to take the consolewars dick out of your mouth for a second and think about your absolutely retarded post. If you mention nintendo you most definetly cry that either MS or Sony are not in the OP. Both are western companies and the thread is about JRPGs. Can you make a connection why those two don't mix well?

Oh, and put Persona 5 between Berseria and Octopath. All 3 modern Pokemon gens are below Zestiria even.

Games are about enjoyment. Coomerbait is far more enjoyable than the psp tier below average gameplay the series had so far.

didn't read lol

Coomerbait won't make it the best JRPG of the generation. Atelier was never good anyway, though.

Are you?

I don't understand why people keep praising the combat in XC2, I hated it.

>dumbing down is okay as long as i get to coom

based schizo user

Yeah. Wish to say SMTV is worth it, but that game is still stuck in limbo, and FF7R well, let's just say that I was right about not trusting Nomura.

>hating Poppi
Disgusting, end yourself

In terms of story and characters, Automata is worse than Gestalt. A freaking book is a better character than all of the Automata cast combined, and they wasted Emil.
In terms of gameplay and combat, there are better Platinum Games.
Automata is just overhyped by casuals that don't know about videogames.

What the heck is going on in this webm

The failure of the japanese to make a non shit UI

Persona 5 is pretty good though, even if the story takes a massive dump past futaba and it gets good only at the casino to be dump again until the very end.
Royal in the other hand is just a cheap cashgrab that unfortubely retards already bought despite being a 15$ dlc at best.
Trails of cold steel 4 is coming and you should give it a try

There's a quirk with the Vortex art where if you use it in midair, you start standing there until you end the battle, allowing you to fly in the air and combo enemies while above them, giving you an accuracy and damage boost.

>Ys VIII > DQXI > Tales of Berseria > Octopath Traveler
XC2 is better than those, especially after the last chapters, the plot twist, and its DLC. XC2 contributed a lot to give the entire Xeno franchise a much needed identity. It even allows one to speculate what actually is happening in XCX. I said this as a longtime fan, like all the way back since Xenogears and Xenosaga. The vision of the Xeno games is now more clear than ever.

Blue Reflection is better than Crystar.

It's one of the better Ateliers in recent memory. Much better than stuff like Sophie or the Dusk sequels.

yeah
