Nice list, there is one I can think of that you missed though! The Legend of Heroes : Trails of Cold Steel 3 The “Trails” series is absolutely amazing and should not be missed!
🤦♂️ We’ve been waiting on a release date for so long and I forgot we finally got confirmation it was coming this year. Crap. I’ll make sure to make a note of that in a pinned comment.
I just wish I knew you have to grind to an unreasonable amount just to be able to buy equipment. Take a breaks people, take plenty of breaks because it gets boring fast.
Edge of Eternity is in early access on Steam and supposed to release this year. It looks stellar. I'm still hoping that Granblue Fantasy is going to release this year also. Great video man!
What JRPGs are you most looking forward to? Games I forgot😓: Trails of Cold Steel III: This Fall (PS4) Trails of Cold Steel II: This Fall (PS4) Final Fantasy X/X-2: April 16th (Switch/Xbox One) Final Fantasy XII: April 30th (Switch/Xbox One)
I think the release is set for early/spring 2020 but it would be awesome if it comes out this year though! They said in January that they are 60-70% finished... AND YOU'RE RIGHT THE GAME LOOKS INCREDIBLE!
Why do you not have more subs!? This was great, well made and short but yet enough to spike interest in the titles that spoke to me. As a hardcore fan of JRPG games I'm subbing!
Super stoked for FE and Oninaki! Doesn't look like as crazy a year for JRPGs as last year was, but I'm still excited! Still mad we don't know when the next main line Tales game is coming.
I really wanna see what grandia would look like in HD. Are they going to redo the sprites? Grandia 2 already had an HD release on PC so this is probably just a port.
Yes!! Thank you for this tho I echo some of your subs below.... I am so so excited for The Legend of Heroes Tails of Cold Steel to finally hit western shores this year. Thank you so much for all the time this took to edit, script upload and such :).
Thank you for including Rune Factory 4 Special. It was one of my favorite 3ds games and I don't think it got enough recognition on the 3ds. I hope when it comes to Switch, people will see how great it is and that will contribute to the success of Rune Factory 5.
Probably didn't get that much recognition because,at least in my country (and probably the rest of europe) it was digital only and only had english as a language option, which turned away many people. For me RF4 is the game I enjoyed playing the most on 3DS
I like your style. This was well written, precise and clearly spoken. Some YT videos either drag on too long or they speak too fast but you striked a good balance here
Looking forward to Cold Steel 3 and sword/shield the most this year most likely. Although I'm sure there's at least 1 or 2 surprised waiting for us like persona 5R. Great video :)
Dq11 is one of the best jrpgs ever. Don't miss it and don't stop at the credits. Act 3 is not just an epilogue..it's a huge act and that true ending...if you're a series fan... O. M. G.
I missed the announcement of Ys IX: Monstrum Nox. That's the JRPG I'm looking forward to the most even though it's quite doubtful it'll get a western release in 2019.
I wonder how such old games loke Grandia 1 and 2 have not changed at all aside of sharper edges on the characters and the environment. I never had the first game but I was captivated by Grandia 2 and played it at least almost ten times. xD
I have never played a Digimon game and I've started rewatching the anime but the music of the Digimon survive trailer made me really want it... And also I don't play many strategy games and this looks great. Also I've only played the demo of Alliance Alive but I loved it. Haven't heard about Code Vein for so long but I'm kinda excited for it...
Dunno, if they release P5R / P5S this year, they’ll make the top of the list for sure. Persona 5 is such a great game, I hope P5S is for Switch and P5R for PS4 and PC so more people can enjoy it.
There are a lot of JRPGs in your list that interest me but i've decided for this year to finally concentrate on my backlog. The only possible exception will be Code Vein. I'm crossing my fingers that it will turn out great when it comes out.
Forgot Shin Megami Tensei V for the switch. It was already announce for a western release. Suppose to be this year, but Atlus has been silent since the trailor and localization announcement.
Trails of Cold Steel I, II, and III... and possibly IV? And I don't know if it counts, but Final Fantasy X/X-2 and XII should be out this month for the Switch.
The most anticipated JRPG I’m looking forward to coming out this year on the PS4 is Lost Soul Aside. Official date unknown as of now except that it’s coming out sometime this year (2019). Combat system inspired by FFXV and made by one man alone. It looks breathtaking.
Mmmm, not a lot for me this year overall. I am making my way through the Trails series though. Currently on game 2 out of 8 so I got plenty to keep me entertained
I mean, you'll be playing a really good game regardless. If they do have Persona 5R be a remaster, it'll probably just be some extra stuff like the new character, maybe an extra dungeon and some enemies, but nothing huge.
I wish there was a new Tales series game, it's ages since one came out.I can't believe how far Pokemon has come with visuals, Sword and shield look amazing
Wait so Catherine: Full Body is a remake of the original Katherine? I hope a lot more people get into Rune Factory now that it's coming on the Switch. It's an amazing game with so much to do! Oh and you just doubled the list of games on my shopping list lol.
@@bobslay8 Oh. Okay my bad. I understand what your saying now sorry. He also missed The Legend of Heroes: Akatsuki no Kiseki a mobile spin off of the series which is coming to Switch this Summer. Not sure if it will be localized or not though. It was announced 3 days ago.
I do hope theyre gonna release code vein this year. It was ''ready'' to lauch after all. they had collector edition and all... Im glad they're reworking it so it lives up to the hype and i cant wait to play it, but if they delay it even further i dont think itll be good for the game reputation and people might miss out on it completely. Finger crossed for a 2019 release
If there was a way to bring Legend Of The Dragoon to the PS4 I would die from excitement. That and FF8 are my all time fave rpg games! I wanna hear Dart yell "BURNING RUSH!" In HD
I love Fire Emblem and am looking forward to Three Houses, but...am I the only one that gets Final Fantasy Type-0 vibes from Three Houses? It has me a bit concerned tbh.
Hmm there's an Octopath Traveller mobile game and Octopath Traveller for PC coming out this year. May have been revealed after this video though. Also, I'm pretty sure Bravely Default will be getting some sort of Switch content this year, as it has been heavily hinted at.
None of the games I'm interested in are in this video :'D First of all Zanki Zero: Last Beginning. Well, it's already coming out next week and it's a Dungeon Crawler, but I guess that would count as JRPG. Then Crystar, which may look pretty bland gameplay wise, but the concept seems interesting enough and I read it's been inspired by Drakengard so I pretty much NEED to check it out if nothing else. And most importantly, Trails of Cold Steel 3. This is the only game which I'm actually really confused about how you could have missed it. Really looking forward to finally see my boy Rean in a little better graphics :P But overall great video, even if I already knew of all the titles in it, I may need to look at some of these titles again ^-^ Edit: And oh well, didn't see the pinned comment before posting this, maybe you want to add the other two :'D
Thanks for pointing those out! There are so many games that it’s hard to find them all. Haha Yeah, I feel really bad about ToCS3. It’s part of the whole reason I waited so long to put the video out.
What do you consider the Legends of Heroes series, we've got 1 & 2 and 3 arrives in November. So just wondering if you left them off for a reason or not.
As much as you missed my favorite Trails of Cold Steel III, this was a really good list~ didn't know 'bout some of these games coming this year.... my poor wallet tho.
At one point I was soooo close to getting into the Dragon Quest franchise ... finally! ... And then they started shoving out better-than-all-other-versions switch exclusive ports. So I'll wait until they scrap that policy.
Also why is Trails of Cold Steel 3 not in here? Trails series is some of the best in the genre right now.. you put arc of alchemist in here but not Cold Steel 3.. wtf
Okay so this year doesn't look good. Not even one on here that I'm interested in (I've already played Catherine). I am interested, though, in Ys IX, Trails of Cold Steel 3, and Shin Megami Tensei V, but I guess they're not slated for release this year.
Nice list, there is one I can think of that you missed though!
The Legend of Heroes : Trails of Cold Steel 3
The “Trails” series is absolutely amazing and should not be missed!
🤦♂️
We’ve been waiting on a release date for so long and I forgot we finally got confirmation it was coming this year. Crap. I’ll make sure to make a note of that in a pinned comment.
@@JRPGCentral i agree with this, TOH CS3 is a game that must absolutely NOT be forgotten
To be fair, 1,2&3 are all coming out this year!
I just started getting into the Trails series after seeing a lot of positive talk about it and I agree it's very impressive.
I just wish I knew you have to grind to an unreasonable amount just to be able to buy equipment. Take a breaks people, take plenty of breaks because it gets boring fast.
Edge of Eternity is in early access on Steam and supposed to release this year. It looks stellar. I'm still hoping that Granblue Fantasy is going to release this year also. Great video man!
What JRPGs are you most looking forward to?
Games I forgot😓:
Trails of Cold Steel III: This Fall (PS4)
Trails of Cold Steel II: This Fall (PS4)
Final Fantasy X/X-2: April 16th (Switch/Xbox One)
Final Fantasy XII: April 30th (Switch/Xbox One)
Think you missed the gamefreak rpg to -> www.ign.com/articles/2018/09/13/pokemon-developer-game-freak-announces-town-for-nintendo-switch
@@volrathnl I don't think that's coming out this year. We don't even have the game's real title yet.
Fire Emblem, Rune Factory and Dragon Quest are the ones I'm most excited about
You also forgot Shin Megami Tensei V, it should hopefully be released this year.
Trials of cold steel 2 comes out next month. May 7th.
Fire Emblem always had important characters remain in the story despite permadeath by saying that they were just critically injured.
Auron Cloud I think he meant because it’s a school it’s a bit weird, but they could do this for every character at least in the pre time skip section.
Not a new release but Octopath Traveler is coming to PC. SO EXCITED!
58 people commented and everyone else has forgot Game Freaks newest rpg Town for Nintendo switch. That has a 2019 release too.
I can't wait for that one, want more details atm
You missed my most anticipated JRPG for this year. Granblue Fantasy Relink. Game looks amazing.
I think the release is set for early/spring 2020 but it would be awesome if it comes out this year though! They said in January that they are 60-70% finished... AND YOU'RE RIGHT THE GAME LOOKS INCREDIBLE!
Not coming this year.
@@noctaeucta2994 It IS coming this year.
@@laphi3018 It's still officially set for a 2019 release, unless they announce a delay.
Hailey Matthews
No. It is not.
Why do you not have more subs!? This was great, well made and short but yet enough to spike interest in the titles that spoke to me. As a hardcore fan of JRPG games I'm subbing!
Trails of cold Steel II for ps4 is coming this year and III too
Yeah III is a big one for us!
I'm currently on a daily praying regimen for a PC port for III as soon as humanly possible.
@@Talyrion it says only on playstation on the cover unlike I and II so it's highly unlikely to be the case
@@othmaneaouioued8768 Disappointing, yet not unexpected. And so the wait continues.
Indivisible battle system is like the one on Valkyrie Profile.
Super stoked for FE and Oninaki! Doesn't look like as crazy a year for JRPGs as last year was, but I'm still excited! Still mad we don't know when the next main line Tales game is coming.
I really wanna see what grandia would look like in HD. Are they going to redo the sprites? Grandia 2 already had an HD release on PC so this is probably just a port.
I did not know of the existence of that indivisible but it's the freaking spiritual succesor of Valkyrie profile, and that's good
Yes!! Thank you for this tho I echo some of your subs below.... I am so so excited for The Legend of Heroes Tails of Cold Steel to finally hit western shores this year. Thank you so much for all the time this took to edit, script upload and such :).

anthony sweat I’m definitely buying it later this year
The game ended at the part before the time travel thing for me. That is the true timeline IMO so i stopped playing it after that.
The only game coming this year I want is Ys 9
Edit: correction, I should say the only game I'm hyped for.
An Alliance Alive is definitely most anticipated. Written by the creator of Suikoden!
Having beating it on the 3DS already, I can tell you it's a fantastic game...assuming you're a fan of games like Romancing SaGa, etc.
Thank you, I actually never knew Warsong had other JP sequels and i really want to play them
I missed the announcement of Ys IX: Monstrum Nox. That's the JRPG I'm looking forward to the most even though it's quite doubtful it'll get a western release in 2019.
Great video bro, found a few titles I didn't notice before this that are now on my radar 😉
Awesome video. I just added 2 new upcoming games to my Steam wishlist that I didn't even know existed before watching this.
I have been waiting for Code Vein forever. I can’t wait for it to finally release.
Awesome list! So much to look forward to this year!!!
I can’t wait for these new games
Interesting video!!! Thanks for the information, it's just what I needed.
Indivisible will be this years Celeste. Indie darling game.
I wonder how such old games loke Grandia 1 and 2 have not changed at all aside of sharper edges on the characters and the environment. I never had the first game but I was captivated by Grandia 2 and played it at least almost ten times. xD
I have never played a Digimon game and I've started rewatching the anime but the music of the Digimon survive trailer made me really want it...
And also I don't play many strategy games and this looks great.
Also I've only played the demo of Alliance Alive but I loved it.
Haven't heard about Code Vein for so long but I'm kinda excited for it...
Guess Indivisible will play similar to Valkyrie Profile 2, so I'm interested.
We can only hope.
I don't know it should be included in this list for a couple of reasons but I would suggest checking out Edge of Eternity.
Cold Steel 3 is the best JRPG coming out this year
Dunno, if they release P5R / P5S this year, they’ll make the top of the list for sure. Persona 5 is such a great game, I hope P5S is for Switch and P5R for PS4 and PC so more people can enjoy it.
Thanks for the recommendations with many of these!
If they could deliver a remake of Grandia for PS4 I'd be super pumped!
There are a lot of JRPGs in your list that interest me but i've decided for this year to finally concentrate on my backlog. The only possible exception will be Code Vein. I'm crossing my fingers that it will turn out great when it comes out.

I'm lowkey more hyped for Cold Steel 3 then even Cyberpunk 2077.
Grandia I and II getting remaster? HELL YEAH.
Now if only we could get a Legend of Legaia remaster, that would be great.
Mmmm, not a lot for me this year overall. I am making my way through the Trails series though. Currently on game 2 out of 8 so I got plenty to keep me entertained
oh there BETTER not be some remaster of persona 5. I literally just bought the game yesterday.
I mean, you'll be playing a really good game regardless. If they do have Persona 5R be a remaster, it'll probably just be some extra stuff like the new character, maybe an extra dungeon and some enemies, but nothing huge.
It was leaked about 2 weeks ago. It'll be announced probably at direct today or in atlus presentation near end of month
Dragon quest XI is what I’m waiting for
I wonder if the bravely default games will ever be ported
Michael Clifton I sure hope so..
It's possible. They were teasing something BD related last year, but the success of Octopath could make the sequel take priority.
You should turn this into a series where you say what JRPG will come out each month!
Atelier Ryza was announced after Atelier Lulua, and it's coming this year.
I wish there was a new Tales series game, it's ages since one came out.I can't believe how far Pokemon has come with visuals, Sword and shield look amazing

LEGEND OF MANA, CHRONO CROSS , FINAL FANTASY 7 - 10 and Legend of Dragoon. i miss the OG JRPG style

Wish there was a Grandia 4
We need a remake of Suikoden 2. Loved that game!
never gonna happen
i really cant wait for dragon quest builders 2, i wanna play it already!!
I love Fire Emblem and am looking forward to Three Houses, but...am I the only one that gets Final Fantasy Type-0 vibes from Three Houses? It has me a bit concerned tbh.
Hadn't heard about the Grandia remaster. SUPER STOKED for that. And for the new FE for sure.
Indivisible straight up reminds me of Valkyrie Profile! I'm so looking forward to that game!

I’ll for sure play all of them since I love Jrpgs
What do you consider the Legends of Heroes series, we've got 1 & 2 and 3 arrives in November. So just wondering if you left them off for a reason or not.
I just blanked and completely forgot to include them. They’re very much JRPGs imo.
Trails is the best JRPG series. I'm already on my fifth playthrough of Cold Steel 4.
Cold steel 4????
Hold your horses buddy, I'm still on 1, lol.
Yeah I have stuff on my channel@@noctaeucta2994
There is no cold steel 4 out only 3 coming soon
@@jameshannon4488 I mean TECHNICALLY you're not wrong that "cold steel 4" isn't out but sen no kiseki 4 has been out for quite a while dude
Ys IX will be coming out this year in Japan at least. I'm really looking forward to that.
It's 2021 still no grandia remaster what a shame
Have you never played Valkyrie profile? thats the battle system of indivisible. I'm pretty sure you've never played it or you would have recognized it
Last part of video, guy named Caspar fighting some monster, what game is it?
Big jrpg fan and collector 😁
Fingers crossed for Shin Megami Tensei V
Can you tell me what game is the one from minute 13.26 to 13.40? Thx
Hey great video but.I think you missed Astral Chains.
I feel like Persona 5 Switch and SMTV are going to drop this year.
I hope smt v releases this year but I doubt it. If it does it will be in Japan while a western release will be in 2020
Ugh, I"m so offended, people were just SO eager for the 3DS to die after the Switch came out, weren't they?
Ah well... it had a really long run lol
Wizardry : Labyrinth of Lost Souls is coming out for PC "soon", but another great title to look for.
seriously no trail of cold steel -_-
wtf
As much as you missed my favorite Trails of Cold Steel III, this was a really good list~ didn't know 'bout some of these games coming this year.... my poor wallet tho.
Aren't the guys at Lab Zero from LA? Dunno if it can be considered a JRPG
I think you missed Astral Chain.
Not a JRPG. It's an action game.
Love your videos dude. Do you know anything about sword and fairy for the ps4? Chinese rpg, should be out today :0
I don't! I'll have to check it out.
I have a feeling Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part One will come out this Fall.
Indivisible is just like Valkyrie Profile
At one point I was soooo close to getting into the Dragon Quest franchise ... finally! ... And then they started shoving out better-than-all-other-versions switch exclusive ports. So I'll wait until they scrap that policy.
I actually prefer turn-based games over action rpg's
If you can't make a good enough action combat system just go turn-based
Warsong was amazing as a kid. They've made a mobile remake, but kinda fell flat for me. Really hope for a real remastering.
Had no clue grandia might have get a remake now only if chrono cross and lunar got remakes I would be on cloud 9.
PLEASE LET US HAVE GRANDIA REMASTERS
Awesome video, thank you bro.
I've wanted Langrisser since Wayfarer of time! As for Grandia, sure, I'll go for round 4
Is there any news on the upcoming Tales game?
Also why is Trails of Cold Steel 3 not in here? Trails series is some of the best in the genre right now.. you put arc of alchemist in here but not Cold Steel 3.. wtf
Is this the art style of jrpgs these days? I’m officially old.
Jordan Kay yeah this is it
13:23 you were saying....? :)
Okay so this year doesn't look good. Not even one on here that I'm interested in (I've already played Catherine). I am interested, though, in Ys IX, Trails of Cold Steel 3, and Shin Megami Tensei V, but I guess they're not slated for release this year.
Grandia 1&2 confirmed and FF7Re confirmed. Would you be doing an updated version of this list in lieu of E3?
trueblueclue I won’t be, but my E3 recap video was essentially that!
You forgot to mention Town.
