    As for promo on unicorn overlord.
    Promo it because vanillaware always go bankrupt making every game and in this case the team paid out of pocket to fund this game because the sega/atlus money ran out.
    They're devoted to always releasing a polished game and for the sake of the devs. They should at least break even.

    My JRPG series recommendation is Xenoblade Chronicles! All 3 parts are on the switch and they can be played independent of each other(but playing them in order does have its benefits).

    I was wondering why I haven't heard much more after they announced Unicorn Overlord because I love a lot of Vanillaware games: Dragon Crown, Odin Sphere, Muramasa: The Demon Blade (Odin Sphere was actually published by Atlus in it's first release as well if you weren't aware, same with Dragon Crown. Looks like Muramasa was published by another company which I guess explains why it was shafted not to be released to other systems other than the Vita after the Wii release. T_T I was so upset about that.) So thank you for bringing it to light again.

    Without realizing it, my very first JRPG was a PS2 title called Okage. I have never heard of anyone who's played it before, but supposedly it got a port to either the PS3 or PS4, so that's something. It's a comical story of a boy who has his shadow possessed by a shadow king...named Stan. Yes, the most boring, non-threatening name ever, lol. I forget why Stan possessed him but the whole adventure, I believe, is about finding a way for Ari (the main character) to break the curse of Stan. But Stan is not much of a threat to Ari and is usually mocked by the other characters.
    I never did finish the game, though. The final area is a misty labyrinth in a library...and with random encounters. I clearly needed to grind more levels before going in because I died before I ever found my way out to the main boss. I vaguely remember viewing a map of how to get out and seeing just how big the area was, then noping the hell out of finishing it 😂. If it's at least on PS4 (doubt it's on PS5), maybe I'll give it a shot again. Supposedly, they corrected the most egregious issue with the game, no way to skip the VERY long talking segments! Like, if you died, you had to listen to the pre-fight character banter all over again. You could press X and rush through it, but not skip it. That too made the final dungeon a slog.

  • @fattiger6957
    @fattiger6957 Месяц назад +5

    IMO, the smaller, mid-budget JRPGs are the best the genre offers nowadays. One of my favourite developers is Nihon Falcom. I've put probably around or close to a thousand hours into the Trails and Ys series over the last decade. The Cold Steel games has the best turn-based combat system I've ever played. Great evolution of traditional turn based battles with a bit of tactical elements because you can move characters around the battlefield and positioning is sometimes essential to surviving boss fights. And the best thing is trash mob battles are quick, so the combat never feels boring and tedious.

    • @ShotterGames
      @ShotterGames Месяц назад

      Does Coldsteel have major gameplay changes? Still at my 5th game (Azure) and so far there's just little things added each game.

    • @fattiger6957
      @fattiger6957 Месяц назад

      @@ShotterGames Falcom seems to prefer iterative evolution rather than making giant overhauls. The combat is very similar, but has a different feel because the Cold Steel games are 100% 3D with a free camera. The battlefields also aren't grid based anymore so movement is more free.
      The combat changes and evolves with all 4 Cold Steel games and Trails into Reverie. It's mostly with new mechanics added to what is already there, but one of the mechanics in the 2nd game was removed for the future games.
      TLDR: The combat is very similar, so you should do fine if you are familiar with the Sky or Crossbell games.

    • @gegeji6442
      @gegeji6442 Месяц назад +1

      @@ShotterGames Yesn't. The switch to 3d removed the grid but it honestly doesn't change too much and It is still has the craft and quartz mechanic. However starting with cold steel Quartz got simplified by a lot and balancing of crafts got change a lot that instead of arts being generally stronger you start to user much more crafts since they got stronger instead. Besides that Cold steel will introduce a new special combat section that plays bit different from usual combat but can't get too much into it since it's big spoilers. I guess if you want drastic change you have to wait till Trails of daybreak since only there did they start to introduce a hybrid turn base/action base system but still usually only for mobs and for bosses it's still just turn based.

    Brother, Unicorn Overloard sold very well. It def got a bit overshadowed though due to when it came out

    I completely agree. Fire Emblem was the first game that really made me fall in love in tactical JRPG. Unicorn Overlord was fantastic and the next game that made me really excited after that. Strongly recommend!

    I was interested in this game because of Vanillaware too (loved Muramasa) . But for some reason all physical copies are sold out near me in Australia. Might have to grab it digitally after your review
