    Thanks for the video. Unicorn Overlord definitely feels under appreciated. People are free to dislike it, but a core aspect of a JRPG is Friendship, and Unicorn Overlord has dedicated sections for you to explore it.

    This has been one of the best 6 month stretch for JRPG releases IMO
    Infinite Wealth is the best thing I've played so far this year. Unicorn Overlord was top tier as well. P3R and DD2 were both really fun. Eiyuden Chronicle was a 7/10 bc it had enough issues and lack of balancing that pulled me out of the experience. I did not get around to FF7 Rebirth yet

    My JRPG of the year so far has got to me The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak...demo! lol Well, since it was announced I knew it was most likely gonna be my game of the year and after playing the demo it just confirmed it even more. There are a lot of great games I've played but Trails is my #3 in my TOP 3 game series of all time, the others being Tales Of and Persona, and with Tales Of not having a new game out this year and P3R being just a remake of P3 with no big changes to the story, yeah, Daybreak so far has got this in the bag.
    2024 is a damn banger of a year for games in general. Aside from Trails Through Daybreak I'm REALLY looking forward to playing Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero. That game is gonna be something special man.

    I always feel like such a weirdo watching these type of videos. Like, I know I have unusual tastes when it comes to games, but it's another actually seeing my thoughts compared with others. Like, most of the ones listed here are either games I liked enough but still had a lot of issues with ("FF7 Rebirth", "Granblue Relink") or just straight up don't care about ("Persona 3 Remake", "Dragon's Dogma 2").
    That said, I still gotta play "Unicorn Overlord" and "Eiyuden Chronicle". I've been tackling so many longer games back-to-back that it's pushed back so many other games. Not to mention letting other newer releases cut in line and purposely mixing up genres so I don't get burnt out. They've just been sitting in my backlog at a result but I do definitely want to get to them sooner than latter. If nothing else, I at least have "Unicorn Overlord" scheduled to be played in like 3 games or so (after "Stellar Blade", "Touhou: Double Focus", and "Touhou: Luna Nights").

  • @pgwchaos
    @pgwchaos 4 месяца назад +1

    Comparing FFVII Remake and Rebirth sales isn't a fair comparison, not is the PS 5 install base a great deal smaller than the PS 4. There was also the fact it released in 2020, so you had a number of people who had to stay at home due to the pandemic. I still haven't picked up Rebirth yet, since I don't have a PS5 (really only interested in the next Switch in terms of 'next' gen consoles, since I have a higher end PC)
    I am loving Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes. It does have that classic JRPG feel to it, and I really am enjoying all the characters.

    I am SO DISSAPOINTED at Eiyuden Chronicles... the game by itself isn't bad... the story is interesting, the characters are interesting, but it has the same issue that (to me) has Octopath Traveler and is the reason I stopped playing the game and never touched them again. They lack so much interaction between characters it feels so damn off it annoys me... like "Look, we are more than 3 guys in a party" and barely anyone beside those have conversations with others, even worse, MEANINGFUL conversations are non existent when it rarely happen.
    I waited so many years for Eiyuden Chronicles and then for Octopath Traveler to fix the same issue the one had but nope... those games are designed like that sadly.

    Meh, the stagger system in FF7 Remake and Rebirth as well as FF13 is what made battles too long and tedious
    You want to stagger enemies and bosses easier, just hit them with their weakness and then you'll be able to kick some more ass. that's it
    Instead of that bullshit mechanic, better just do the above and you'll have the same results in much less time
    Speaking of FF7, it's fucking stupid that Square-Enix, or more specifically Tetsuya Nomura, made the decision to remake the game as an episodic trilogy when a SIMPLE REMAKE like say the Resident Evil 1 remake by keeping everything from the original intact, add the cut content from back in 1997 and call it a day would've been better instead of this ''it's-actually-a-sequel-to-FF7'' reimagining bullshit they've pulled out of their asses just to capitalize on that FF15 engine and blueprint
    Also, I agree with ATLUS being greedy assholes with those scummy business practices when it came to both SMT 5 Vengeance and Persona 3 Reload
    Do I want to try out the new campaign for the former? Yes
    Do I want to rebuy the game full price again on Switch? FUCK NO, I already have it once and we live in a time where games can get updated with new content, so that new stuff could've easily been added to the base game on Switch for early adaptors like me while those who don't have it can simply buy the new version on whichever console they want
    Also also, the Answer campaign of P3 was so bad, why would people want it remade to maybe be even worse for Reload is anyone's guess
