What to Do When You’re Tempted. God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. (James 1:12) Though Jesus is God, He laid aside some of the privileges of His deity. He did not void His deity; He veiled it. He humbled Himself and became a man. Jesus experienced human limitations like we do. He was tired. He knew physical thirst and physical hunger. And He also felt physical weakness. The Bible also teaches that Jesus was tempted. And He left us an example to follow when we face temptation ourselves. When the devil tempted Jesus to turn stones into bread, He said, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone’” (Luke 4:4) When the devil tempted Jesus to worship him, He answered, “The Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him’” (verse 8) And when the devil tempted Jesus to jump off the temple in Jerusalem, Jesus said, “The Scriptures also say, ‘You must not test the Lord your God’” (verse 12) From this passage we see that Jesus felt the presence and pressure of temptation like we do, but He did not sin. Instead, He countered every temptation with a quote from Scripture. From the example of Jesus, we can know how to effectively resist temptation. We need to have the Scriptures stored in our minds and hearts so that when we’re tempted, we can deflect the devil’s blows. The psalmist wrote, “I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you” (Psalm 119:11) When we have memorized Scripture, when we have ingrained it in our memory banks, it’s there for us to use during times of temptation. During His temptation in the wilderness, Jesus did not use His incredible supernatural power. Rather, He met the devil with the written Word of God. He occupied ground that we can occupy as well.
some of the games shown here (e.g. Eternal Sonata or Odin Sphere) should finally get ports, e.g. to the Nintendo Switch. It's nice to see all the great video clips again. And all the sadder that nowadays you can no longer gamble if the older device or its eStore is no longer available.
Thanks a bunch for inviting me to join in on this one Taylor! Hidden Gems always make up the games that resonate with me the most so spreading there awareness is always super cool
Great list - not just the games, but the youtubers too! Still need to check out many of these games myself. Stella Glow is definitely a hidden gem worth playing. The European physical version is still somewhat affordable too as NISA reprinted it just before cart manufacturing ended.
This was a legit roster of hidden gem JRPGs. I was expecting to see a pretty expected roster of games but the majority of titles on here definitely hit as hidden gems to me too. Very rare to see anyone mention Zanki Zero!
Cliches can be fun if done right. Stella Glow may not have been breaking new ground, but it hooked me like a good anime would. Such good characters and just fun interactions and events throughout the whole game.
heard it mentionned basically in every "Underrated 3ds games" video, then played the demo and omg the writing 😢😂. The tactical side is good but if you're lookin for good characters/story its a skip to me
What a great group of creators and games! My favorite pick is Odin Sphere Leifdrasir, such a beautiful game and a massive upgrade over the original release!
Oh, Shadow Hearts is absolutely awesome. I love alternate history stuff. I started with the 2nd game, then went back to the first game. 2 is definitely one of my favorite games ever.
This video!! 😍 Yes David! Popolocrois is such a hidden gem and I think not enough people are talking about this amazing game on the PSP! It was the first console feeling JRPG with a lot of charm and beautiful art. I think this was my first RPG on the PSP after the disappointing Blade Dancer and I just couldn't stop playing it. Also love the Koudelka/Shadow Hearts series! I backed Pennyblood because my love of those games! And the amazing Eternal Sonata! I came to appreciate Classical music more because of that game, but also: that battle system!! 🔥🔥🔥 I just had to buy Cross Code physical for my Switch, what a love letter to games form the SNES era like Pocky and Rocky and Chrono Trigger!! Also I couldn't get into Odin Sphere on PS2, so this video made realize I should give it a chance on PS4/5 or maybe even my dust-gathering PSvita. Sakura Wars looks gorgeous and I should definitely try that one!
I really enjoyed Lost Dimension back when I played it! Eternal Sonata is also amazingly beautiful and tragic in its own way. Stella Glow I still play from time to time I love games that let you use a lot of party members and choose which ending you want, and also go back to before the last fight easily to choose that ending (quick save before the last hit on the final boss gotta love it) Also Odin Sphere is phenomenol I played both the original and the remake and remake fixes everything you would want it to but the story is beautiful, tragic, and kind of perfect. There aren’t many tragic stories that I enjoy, this is one of the few. Love those visuals
Zanki Zero is also one of the most rewarding games I ever played in this genre, there is no turn base and playing on the harder difficulties rewards you more, a game that gives you incentives to play on HARD is always a good thing. But I could never 100% because of the Shigabane mechanics...I mean completing all of them for every character is just too much.
Lost Dimension really is a great game. I love the consequences that result from failing to properly identify one of the traitors, both in the moment and how it gets turned around on you at the end of the game. And the combination of different character's powers you end up using on different playthroughs adds a good amount of variety.
Odin Sphere looks amazing. I’m sad it’s not on any modern consoles. But with the recent re-release of Grim Grimoire hopefully they’ll port this one too. And Sakura Wars is fantastic! Truly a hidden gem.
This list is FANTASTIC! (I own all but two of these games, so I guess I'm a bit biased.) Also, love the collaboration-style video, bringing in other content creators, introducing us to people we may or may not be aware of. At the end, you mention Tokyo Xanadu...if I had to pick a hidden gem, it would be that one. It's a super-fun game with great characters and story and heart, a bit like Persona in many ways. Anyway, nice way to start the weekend!
Out of these Odinsphere is my favorite, with Popolocrois coming second. However, MY favorite hidden gem would have to be ALUNDRA on PS1. With gameplay similar to the 2D legend of Zelda, fantastic art, awesome story, and hard as hell puzzles, it's a shame it's usually forgotten.
DQ Builders 2 is actually a large game too which suprised me considering it wasn't a main line entry, it has loads of extras as well as a lengthy main story
Dang! What a cool collab and a lot of different recommendations! I'm still in the middle of the large, unhidden gem in Octopath 2, but I definitely want to check out some of these after I beat it
@@TheGamingShelf It's fantastic! Oh man I really love them all, but I think Partitio is my favorite. So funny and wholesome, he gives me the "aw shucks" country dude vibes like Alfyn from the first game.
Was so excited to see Shadow Hearts there. That game is just excellent and I would love to see a remake of it. Interesting story, great chatacter design and such an unique battle system!
Fun little fact about Sakura Wars (Shin Sakura Wars) The illustrator behind the character designs is Tite Kubo, the author of bleach. They were really going all in with that game but unfortunately the reception was hella lukewarm… I’m just glad we got another entry consider that the last entry we got prior to that was SW4 (so long my love) back in 05 in Japan and 2010 internationally
Loved that you had the guests go over their favorites, one that I would add is Cosmic Star Heroine. I really enjoyed getting the platinum for it and the dark story and pixel art was nice. I would totally recommend it and it isn't that long either.
I was SO happy to finally see someone recognize Shadow Hearts :D I have all three in the series (Covenant was...Expensive), but I love the battle system and the characters
Now this is a good idea. Getting to see other youtuber hidden gems and other stuff is great info for gamers. Hopefully you can get something like this again in the future. once in each 3 month maybe? lol
Impeccable choices. Especially happy to see Shadow Hearts, Stella Glow and Lost Dimension mentioned. When it comes to personal favourites, 7th Dragon III Code: VFD on 3DS would have to be my number one choice.
Great list, especially with CrossCode. My hidden gems would be Suikodens III, IV and V, Wild Arms 3, Guardian's Crusade, Breath of Fire V: Dragon Quarter and Vandal Hearts II.
@@chickenfillets I haven't finished it and I have to restart, but it was so much fun. I purchased it when it was early access; so I got to the end of the early access and I got back into and still loved it, but I didn't complete it. When I get back into it, I want to give it an uninterrupted playthrough like with Wild Arms where if I took a break from the game it wasn't a massive one. There is a great free Horror JRPG that you might like to try out. It is called End Roll by Segawa. It is one of three translated games by Segawa and it has a great story, characters and soundtrack. The battle system is solid although nothing out of this world. The visuals are solid with a mixture of cute, artistic and nostalgic. I must say though that it is a depressing game.
@@PS1Fan1991 you'll love the game! The cast of characters are brilliant, fantastic story and the combat is unbelievably good! Oh nice never heard that one! Will have to keep an eye out!!!
broooo PSP star ocean second evolution!!!! The game was packed with so many things, legendary weapon and armor grinding, secret drops, hidden world bosses, tons of traits to master, superb story and characters and brooo so much more. You wouldn't want to finish the game because there's so much to do.
The way I audibly gasped seeing Lost Dimension and Eternal Sonata on this list make me so happy :D Definitely going to find a way to try out all of these but those two games are literally my top 3 favourite games of all time.
Shoutout to Kraftiums pick. SG is also on (final) sale right now on the EU 3DS eshop. Too bad the devs went under. I would have liked a LA3 port and future games in that franchise as well…
Stella Glow represent! Really glad that game was mentioned, easily one of my favorite on the 3DS and I played it multiple times, at one time I even tried to 100% it (Failed cause I forgot a mission objective).
I am impressed. Jealous of Emily with Estelle, Rean and Lloyd in background. This is a reveal. Popolocrois, Shadow Hearts 1 -3, Eternal SOnata, Stella Glow
GOD I really wish for Odin's Sphere and Sakura Wars got ported to steam. I played Odin Sphere with cross save on both vita and PS4 because I was abroad a lot for work and I absolutely adored it. even on Vita it zoomed along, I can only imagine how well it runs on a Steam Deck
A hidden gem I would add is The Technomancer. Futuristic setting on Mars I believe. It's not a AAA title, so lacks some polish and graphics aren't amazing by any stretch but the gameplay, story, and way you could form your character so many different ways was outstanding. Doubt it costs much now, so worth trying. I know it's on PS4 but not sure what other systems.
I love Lost Dimension. Good call. The Steam port is excellent, with full controller support and low system requirements. Pick it up on sale and get all the DLC as well.
The first couple were also visual novels so I was afraid they all would be. My favorite on this list is Odin Sphere, but one interesting fact was not shared: Leifthrasir also includes the original PS2 version. I love both, but yes I did get frustrated by the stamina system in the original. The story was just that epic. My hidden gem would be Dragon's Crown, also from Vanillaware. Kamitani worked on the Capcom Dungeons and Dragons arcade games and from my understanding, that's what inspired Dragon's Crown. Honorable mention to Hexyz Force.
PoPoLoCrois is a great game. Remember playing back when it first came out. Weirdly, I feel asleep playing it one night and woke up having beaten an entire dungeon and recruiting a character I knew nothing about, ended up making me have to put off the game awhile cause I legit couldn't remember what I had done the night before. Also always love some Eternal Sonata focus, that game is so amazing and I wish it would get a port to modern consoles.
Fun vid to watch and an interesting list of games. I'd say a good hidden gem is Crystal Project, which I played on PC. I love the non linear style and exploration.

What to Do When You’re Tempted.
God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
(James 1:12)
Though Jesus is God, He laid aside some of the privileges of His deity. He did not void His deity; He veiled it. He humbled Himself and became a man.
Jesus experienced human limitations like we do. He was tired. He knew physical thirst and physical hunger. And He also felt physical weakness.
The Bible also teaches that Jesus was tempted. And He left us an example to follow when we face temptation ourselves.
When the devil tempted Jesus to turn stones into bread, He said, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone’” (Luke 4:4)
When the devil tempted Jesus to worship him, He answered, “The Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him’” (verse 8)
And when the devil tempted Jesus to jump off the temple in Jerusalem, Jesus said, “The Scriptures also say, ‘You must not test the Lord your God’” (verse 12)
From this passage we see that Jesus felt the presence and pressure of temptation like we do, but He did not sin. Instead, He countered every temptation with a quote from Scripture.
From the example of Jesus, we can know how to effectively resist temptation. We need to have the Scriptures stored in our minds and hearts so that when we’re tempted, we can deflect the devil’s blows. The psalmist wrote, “I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you”
(Psalm 119:11)
When we have memorized Scripture, when we have ingrained it in our memory banks, it’s there for us to use during times of temptation.
During His temptation in the wilderness, Jesus did not use His incredible supernatural power. Rather, He met the devil with the written Word of God. He occupied ground that we can occupy as well.
some of the games shown here (e.g. Eternal Sonata or Odin Sphere) should finally get ports, e.g. to the Nintendo Switch. It's nice to see all the great video clips again. And all the sadder that nowadays you can no longer gamble if the older device or its eStore is no longer available.

I LOVED Popolocrois!!! One of the best RPGs on the PSP!!! You are seriously my favorite game reviewer on RUclips!
Thanks for letting me be a part of this sick collab, bud! :)
I actually added a couple more to my backlog now, thanks for that...
Was awesome being in a Collab with you dude!!!
Of course! Thank you for joining and sharing Eternal Sonata with everyone. It's such a gorgeous game.
Eternal Sonata was an absolute joy! Loved the world and the music.. just not the glowing agogos xD
@@chickenfillets Likewise bud!
@@TheMiyazakiMan It needs a port or remaster!
Thanks so much Taylor for putting this together! It's an honor to be part of this big JRPG collab with so many great content creators 😊
Fantastic to be in the same video!!!
@@chickenfillets agreed! 😄
Thanks so much for joining! Great choice with Lost Dimension. Looks neat! I still need to try it.
Orba you deserve it im going to subscribe to you JRPGs rules and your beautiful btw so yeah ^_-
@@TheGamingShelf I replayed Lost Dimension for like ..... 7 times lol. There's something about it that makes me relaxed(?)
I love everyone in this video! What a great way to start the day! Thanks for having me again!
Was amazing be in the video with you!!!!
Thanks for joining Alex and great selection with Odin Sphere 😁
Let's start the weekend with an amazing collab of awesome creators and amazing JRPG gems✨ thank you for having me!

Thanks a bunch for inviting me to join in on this one Taylor! Hidden Gems always make up the games that resonate with me the most so spreading there awareness is always super cool
Thanks for joining! Glad to have you join in. Also…that sneaky Rean edit lol.
I am a master of deception hehehe 😎
Great list - not just the games, but the youtubers too! Still need to check out many of these games myself. Stella Glow is definitely a hidden gem worth playing. The European physical version is still somewhat affordable too as NISA reprinted it just before cart manufacturing ended.
It was so fun having everyone join in 😁
This collaboration is insane. I don’t need more channels to follow but a lot of these people seem great.
Haha glad you enjoyed!
This was a legit roster of hidden gem JRPGs. I was expecting to see a pretty expected roster of games but the majority of titles on here definitely hit as hidden gems to me too.
Very rare to see anyone mention Zanki Zero!
Stella Glow does have really good character designs,
as well as Sakura Wars, hope Tite Kubo lends his talents to more games in the future.
Glad to see Stella Glow here. The story has its clichés and the battles could be slightly faster but I still absolutely adored it.
💯
Cliches can be fun if done right. Stella Glow may not have been breaking new ground, but it hooked me like a good anime would. Such good characters and just fun interactions and events throughout the whole game.
A criminally underrated game
heard it mentionned basically in every "Underrated 3ds games" video, then played the demo and omg the writing 😢😂. The tactical side is good but if you're lookin for good characters/story its a skip to me
@@timytimeerased Try the undub. Then If you don't find the characters endearing it's probably just not your type of game
YES CROSSCODE IS IN THE LIST! Its so wonderful!
That's because it is amazing haha!!
I've been sinking all of my free time into Crosscode for about a week straight. It's incredible.
@@technic1285 absolutely! Such an awesome game !!!
How can Crosscode be called a JPRG?
Wow!! Great colab and topic everyone!!
Fantastic list!! Love seeing multiple of my favorite creators on one video.
Glad you enjoyed!
Absolutely lovely video from everyone!!! Also...love to see Sakura Wars! YES!
Yes! Such a good one 😍 We gotta get you on the next collab! The world needs more Femtrooper!
@@TheGamingShelf ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks! I’d love to!
What a great group of creators and games! My favorite pick is Odin Sphere Leifdrasir, such a beautiful game and a massive upgrade over the original release!
Such a beautiful game!
These are all great choices here, some more under appreciated goodness that really deserves more love.
Great video and collabs
Thanks so much! You have any favorite hidden gems?
@@TheGamingShelf I do adore the Mary Skelter Nightmare games
I thought Stranger of Sword City was under appreciated, just to name a few
13:02 Jesus The shine on those things. 😳
No Erick Landon RPG???
Nice list, i love jrpgs!!!
Next time! 😉
Thanks for doing this video. Really liking what I see here😊
My pleasure 😊
Oh, Shadow Hearts is absolutely awesome. I love alternate history stuff. I started with the 2nd game, then went back to the first game. 2 is definitely one of my favorite games ever.
Bao Zakeruga with an elite pick, Shadow Hearts is one of my favorite games ever.
Eternal sonata is such a hidden gem, I love that game. It needs to come to ps5
Right!?
It's awesome you're putting together collabs like this Taylor! Love all your content, and great to see so many familiar friendly faces :)
Thanks so much!!
Good stuff guys! Enjoyed the video!
Great list! Man if there’s a next time I’d love to share a tubular hidden gem!
There’s always a next time as long as everyone keeps clicking the hell out of these videos lol.
You did an amazing job compiling all the footage together from all these different rpg youtubers.
This video!! 😍 Yes David! Popolocrois is such a hidden gem and I think not enough people are talking about this amazing game on the PSP! It was the first console feeling JRPG with a lot of charm and beautiful art. I think this was my first RPG on the PSP after the disappointing Blade Dancer and I just couldn't stop playing it.
Also love the Koudelka/Shadow Hearts series! I backed Pennyblood because my love of those games!
And the amazing Eternal Sonata! I came to appreciate Classical music more because of that game, but also: that battle system!! 🔥🔥🔥
I just had to buy Cross Code physical for my Switch, what a love letter to games form the SNES era like Pocky and Rocky and Chrono Trigger!!
Also I couldn't get into Odin Sphere on PS2, so this video made realize I should give it a chance on PS4/5 or maybe even my dust-gathering PSvita.
Sakura Wars looks gorgeous and I should definitely try that one!
Crosscode is phenomenal!
Thank you for having me on this video!!! Really enjoyed it and totally stoked to be with all these fantastic content creators!
Thanks for joining! Was awesome having you on and great luck with CrossCode 😄
Anytime someone mentions crosscode I always gotta say, did you see me in it? And so dope to mention it, such fun games in this list. Good stuff yo!
Nice to see Cross Code getting some recognition.
Yeah, insanely fun gameplay-wise and the story is very well-written imo. Also the puzzle are really well made. Overall such a great game.
I really enjoyed Lost Dimension back when I played it! Eternal Sonata is also amazingly beautiful and tragic in its own way. Stella Glow I still play from time to time I love games that let you use a lot of party members and choose which ending you want, and also go back to before the last fight easily to choose that ending (quick save before the last hit on the final boss gotta love it)
Also Odin Sphere is phenomenol I played both the original and the remake and remake fixes everything you would want it to but the story is beautiful, tragic, and kind of perfect. There aren’t many tragic stories that I enjoy, this is one of the few. Love those visuals
I love the Norse myth inspirations in the game. Also, giving Gwendolyn a tribute to Nibelung Valesti.
I'M SO GLAD ETERNAL SONATA AND TOKYO XANADU WERE BROUGHT UP!! Frankly they're so fun and interesting and I'm glad they're getting recognition
Zanki Zero is also one of the most rewarding games I ever played in this genre, there is no turn base and playing on the harder difficulties rewards you more, a game that gives you incentives to play on HARD is always a good thing.
But I could never 100% because of the Shigabane mechanics...I mean completing all of them for every character is just too much.
Lost Dimension really is a great game. I love the consequences that result from failing to properly identify one of the traitors, both in the moment and how it gets turned around on you at the end of the game. And the combination of different character's powers you end up using on different playthroughs adds a good amount of variety.
This was a nice video. I'm always looking to find new jrpg content creators.
Well now you got plenty to choose from ;)
I just played The Alliance Alive on Switch. It's a 3DS remaster. Liked it so much I played it back to back.
Odin Sphere looks amazing. I’m sad it’s not on any modern consoles. But with the recent re-release of Grim Grimoire hopefully they’ll port this one too.
And Sakura Wars is fantastic! Truly a hidden gem.
It is though? It's on PS4, therefore also on PS5.
This was a great collab and many great suggestions. I'm already subscribed to half of you but you can bet I'll be checking the rest of you out
This list is FANTASTIC! (I own all but two of these games, so I guess I'm a bit biased.) Also, love the collaboration-style video, bringing in other content creators, introducing us to people we may or may not be aware of. At the end, you mention Tokyo Xanadu...if I had to pick a hidden gem, it would be that one. It's a super-fun game with great characters and story and heart, a bit like Persona in many ways. Anyway, nice way to start the weekend!
Out of these Odinsphere is my favorite, with Popolocrois coming second.
However, MY favorite hidden gem would have to be ALUNDRA on PS1.
With gameplay similar to the 2D legend of Zelda, fantastic art, awesome story, and hard as hell puzzles, it's a shame it's usually forgotten.
Great picks! I still need to try Alundra.
DQ Builders 2 is actually a large game too which suprised me considering it wasn't a main line entry, it has loads of extras as well as a lengthy main story
Love these creators in our small niche world btw I'm sorry but the obvious winner was Kiseki Nut, Eternal Sonata is an underrated masterpiece
Zanki zero is one of the most underrated jrpgs, I really hope a sequel happen but it’s unlikely
I still need to try it! Looks so cool though. Tark did a great job of making it sound cool.
Dang! What a cool collab and a lot of different recommendations! I'm still in the middle of the large, unhidden gem in Octopath 2, but I definitely want to check out some of these after I beat it
Octopath 2 is SO good, right!? Who's been your favorite character so far?
@@TheGamingShelf It's fantastic! Oh man I really love them all, but I think Partitio is my favorite. So funny and wholesome, he gives me the "aw shucks" country dude vibes like Alfyn from the first game.
Was so excited to see Shadow Hearts there. That game is just excellent and I would love to see a remake of it. Interesting story, great chatacter design and such an unique battle system!
darn, I haven't heard of Eternal Sonata in such a long time I was almost starting to believe pretty much no one else knew about it.
It's such a gem. I wish they'd port it!
An awesome game ❤
Fun little fact about Sakura Wars (Shin Sakura Wars)
The illustrator behind the character designs is Tite Kubo, the author of bleach.
They were really going all in with that game but unfortunately the reception was hella lukewarm… I’m just glad we got another entry consider that the last entry we got prior to that was SW4 (so long my love) back in 05 in Japan and 2010 internationally
yeah shadow hearts that one i hope see's somekind of remake/spiritual successor.
Loved that you had the guests go over their favorites, one that I would add is Cosmic Star Heroine. I really enjoyed getting the platinum for it and the dark story and pixel art was nice. I would totally recommend it and it isn't that long either.
Excellent work Taylor, some true gems there! Suikoden 5 is definitely a hidden gem amongst the love for Suikoden 1 and 2
Couldn't agree more!
I was SO happy to finally see someone recognize Shadow Hearts :D I have all three in the series (Covenant was...Expensive), but I love the battle system and the characters
Bao with that Shadow Hearts reference! I bet he's so stoked for the reimagining Penny Blood!
Now this is a good idea. Getting to see other youtuber hidden gems and other stuff is great info for gamers. Hopefully you can get something like this again in the future. once in each 3 month maybe? lol
8:56 Stella Glow, featuring Rean Schwarzer from The Legend of Heroes Series, jk.
I need to pick up code cross at some point when I get around to it.
Happy to see people finally realizing these games. Played them all so long ago. But yeah good list
Searching for public restrooms in a postapocalyptic world must be the most believable gameplay mechanic ever...
Popolocrois is the epitome of a hidden gem.
💯
It is a master piece
Shadow Hearts is a amazing game and series. I was hooked on all of them throughout highschool. I keep hoping to find them on playstation plus one day.
So happy about a lot of stuff on here. Stella Glow is amazing!!! What he didn’t mention is that it has amazing music!
great video! I was already following a few of the featured RUclipsrs but some I wasn’t (yet) but am now 😊
That's great! Thanks for checking out the video and the creators in the video 🙂
Hell yeah davidvinc looking as swole as ever. Love that guy
💪 😤
Shadow Hearts and Eternal Sonata are some of my favorite jrpgs! I remember playing Shadow Hearts and being so blown away by the battle system.
Impeccable choices. Especially happy to see Shadow Hearts, Stella Glow and Lost Dimension mentioned. When it comes to personal favourites, 7th Dragon III Code: VFD on 3DS would have to be my number one choice.

Playing dragon quest builders 2 now myself and loving it
Sakura Wars was on sale on PS store and I picked it up a few days ago, game looks like it'll be fun!
Hell yeah! I hope you enjoy it! 🌸
Combat looks so sweet.

Stella Glow represent! Really glad that game was mentioned, easily one of my favorite on the 3DS and I played it multiple times, at one time I even tried to 100% it (Failed cause I forgot a mission objective).
Shadow Hearts and especially the second episode are incredible indeed. Pure masterpiece.
I am impressed. Jealous of Emily with Estelle, Rean and Lloyd in background. This is a reveal. Popolocrois, Shadow Hearts 1 -3, Eternal SOnata, Stella Glow
Zanki Zero starts and looks simple but each mechanics keeps things very interesting...until I got stuck on STAGE 04...
I still need to play it…for Minamo 🥵
The last story on the wii it was one of the best wii games in my opinion I even bought a wii just to play that game
Always love a Stella Glow shout out!
🤩
Zenki Zero is such a good game. Also if you like Zenki I would recommend, Labyrinth of Refrain and Labyrinth of Galleria
GOD I really wish for Odin's Sphere and Sakura Wars got ported to steam. I played Odin Sphere with cross save on both vita and PS4 because I was abroad a lot for work and I absolutely adored it. even on Vita it zoomed along, I can only imagine how well it runs on a Steam Deck
I'm sad no one mentioned Skies of Arcadia, i really want that to be remade. It's what got me into JRPGS and Steampunk...
Lost dimensions is def in my top 10 rpgs, it's awesome to see it get some love
A hidden gem I would add is The Technomancer. Futuristic setting on Mars I believe. It's not a AAA title, so lacks some polish and graphics aren't amazing by any stretch but the gameplay, story, and way you could form your character so many different ways was outstanding. Doubt it costs much now, so worth trying. I know it's on PS4 but not sure what other systems.
I love Lost Dimension. Good call. The Steam port is excellent, with full controller support and low system requirements. Pick it up on sale and get all the DLC as well.
Lost Dimension is fantastic. I also played it on the Vita. And got the plat for it. So, I can definitely recommend it for anyone who likes JRPGs.
Awesome to see popolocrois on the list!
The first couple were also visual novels so I was afraid they all would be.
My favorite on this list is Odin Sphere, but one interesting fact was not shared: Leifthrasir also includes the original PS2 version. I love both, but yes I did get frustrated by the stamina system in the original. The story was just that epic.
My hidden gem would be Dragon's Crown, also from Vanillaware. Kamitani worked on the Capcom Dungeons and Dragons arcade games and from my understanding, that's what inspired Dragon's Crown.
Honorable mention to Hexyz Force.
PoPoLoCrois is a great game. Remember playing back when it first came out. Weirdly, I feel asleep playing it one night and woke up having beaten an entire dungeon and recruiting a character I knew nothing about, ended up making me have to put off the game awhile cause I legit couldn't remember what I had done the night before.
Also always love some Eternal Sonata focus, that game is so amazing and I wish it would get a port to modern consoles.
Cool video, I liked hearing from everyone!~
Glad you enjoyed!
Fun vid to watch and an interesting list of games.
I'd say a good hidden gem is Crystal Project, which I played on PC. I love the non linear style and exploration.
Love Crystal Project! Such a cool game by 1 dude.
Played every single one of these games except the one for 3ds (since I never had 3ds) xD
One hidden gem I found during my teenager years was Ephemeral Fantasia for PS2.
The lads talking about Shadow Hearts, Crosscode and Sakura Wars are the only ones that knows about JRPG on this video. Cheers chaps!
I have Lost Dimension on my pile of "Games waiting to be played" for years but there is aways something else to take it's place. xD
