The only JRPGs that I've ever played to completion in my life are Xenoblade and Paper Mario and I love them both to bits.

Xenoblade is what a new Phantasy Star would play like if they didn't go the MMO route.

Xenoblade plays like an offline PSO though? I've played Phantasy Star IV and Xenoblade might be similar superficially maybe?

That's how you get tinnitus

Xenoblade is the best jrpg since Skies of Arcadia, the previous high point in the genre. Honourable mentions go to Persona 4, Radiant Historia and Bravely Default for also being pretty good.

The World Ends With You is good for the first two thirds of the game and then turns into unplayable trash, Beat can just go to hell

I tried to play Bravely Default twice and couldn't get into it. The combat system was fine, but the dialogue just bothered me. At least in Xenoblade, aside from the odd off the cuff inspirational speech, people talk like people.

Based off Xenoblade it would probably be surprisingly difficult! The best armor I had for large chunks of the game amounted to either "barely clothed" or "literallly swimwear" for some character.

That said having Shulk running around in Oil armor during the dramatic stuff involving the Monado near the end of the game made it much much more hilarious.

Type-0 is way loving worse than Xenoblade. It is not a good game.

I bought and beat the DBZ game as well but I wouldn't call it a good JRPG. It was fine and playable but is really only good if you're a DBZ nerd.

That's a pretty padded list if I've ever seen one. I'll give you credit for not trying to put trash like the Neptunia games on it.

The DBZ game was literally made by the same developer who made Xenoblade. :ssh:

Also it isn't really a padded list. It's actually missing quite a lot of games. Radiant Historia for example, most of the Tales games, anything Super Robot Wars related, the Rune Factory franchise, Fantasy Life, ect, ect, ect. Not every single one may be to your flavor but there's actually quite a lot of good ones. They're just largely handheld-focused because... well, handhelds are cheaper and more popular in Japan. There's a lot of poo poo too but the idea that Xenoblade is de-facto best because everything else is terrible is silly.

Yes. I know it's by the same company. It also does not have the same staff, and can still be not that great of a game.

I never said Xenoblade is the defacto best because everything else is garbage. However I do take issue with people using Type loving 0 if all things as examples of good JRPG's. I love JRPG's and I agree that there are tons and tons of great ones since the PS2 era. Xenoblade simply clicked with me though and I loved almost everything about it but will readily admit it has some bad flaws. Most games do! Xenoblade is personally one of my favourite JRPG's but it's not out of some notion that the genre is poo poo like I'm now being told that's the only reason I like it so much.

Was Xenoblade overhyped because it was a Wii JRPG and Wii fans were starving for anything remotely good? I have no doubt about it. I still think it's a great game regardless.

I hate to demonstrate any knowledge about this sort of thing, but the oddest thing about the kind of people that would make images like that is that they complain about anime even more than goons, somehow classifying it under "casuals and normals ruining my videogames", but then throw a fit over the slightest edit in a localized game, calling it "censorship".

See, for example, putting more clothes on one of the girls in Bravely Default's class change outfits. And I wanna say the same amount of bitching came from adding another three years to the ages of the girls in Senran Kagura but I'm not sure.

Or editing images in Vita games that would literally get an AO rating otherwise.
