I am looking for a decent RPG for PS4 to sink my teeth into. I was hoping to get a good recommendation for something more in the vein of a JRPG. Games like The Witcher 3, Dragon Age: Inquisition and Dark Souls/Bloodborne have run their course for me for a bit. I am currently loading up the GotY Edition of Shadow of Mordor (which is more of the same I suppose). I have been hovering around the new Star Ocean, Tales of Zestiria and Digimon Cyber Sleuth as they are all decently priced presently. I know most people are rating the Star Ocean game as mediocre to garbage tier, but I have never played a Star Ocean game before so I am not sure if that will impact how well I would receive the game. I've played the Dragon Quest Heroes game and thought that was pretty good fun wise but not terribly engaging. I am mostly looking for something to kill time in between now and FFXV. (Really wish the remaster of FFXIII/FFXIII-2 was coming out sooner than next year, I never got a chance to play those).

If anyone likes JRPG music, the recent FF14 expansion dropped in the usual battery of FF music, some great, some not so great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-T1k-9UvdlU - sounds a lot like a Nier track https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E51ZuULFxvk - more alexander riffs, this link excludes the metal portion go find that one yourself (I think it sucks) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYVFNPv6iAI - obligatory grand choir final fantasy track, I always like these https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyWOkfH0D00 - nice piano piece I don't play the game anymore so I doubt it's exhaustive.

karn1635 posted:I am looking for a decent RPG for PS4 to sink my teeth into. Cyber Sleuth is by far the best of those, the only real knocks against it are a not stellar translation and it looking like (and basically being) a Vita game. If you want something FF-y you could try Type-0 but it tends to be a love (well okay, like) or hate sort of thing.

I played part of Type 0 on the PSP and the only things I remember about it are the OP song and it being impossibly grindy to keep 14 (!) different characters leveled because I hate imbalanced active parties.

You don't need all 14 but two full groups at least yeah.

Is it just me or are most of the JRPG selections on PS4 middling to terrible Vita ports?

Good JRPGs are kind of thin on the ground lately. Game design may have passed the entire genre by.

The PS4 selection is weak but that is because 80% of the JRPGs on the PS4 are Compile Heart games because they can pump out new games incredibly quickly. Like I played three excellent JRPGs and a port in September alone.

there's lots of goofy dialog in the boat scene in phantasia but even the other fan translations for the psx version don't translate it to anything near that

i have a lot of problems with tales of phantasia but as far as character writing it's actually kind of crazy strong imo, at least when it comes to the main cast. most of my issues with it are just that it's boring to play

ImpAtom posted:The PS4 selection is weak but that is because 80% of the JRPGs on the PS4 are Compile Heart games because they can pump out new games incredibly quickly. Some stuff currently released: Atelier Sophie, Digimon, Disgaea 5, FF-Type 0, I Am Setsuna, Mystery Chronicles, Nights of Azure, Odin Sphere, Star Ocean 5, Tales of Zestiria... Lotsa middling games. Some stuff coming up: FF15, Persona 5, World of Final Fantasy, Atelier Firris, Nier, Ni No Kuni, Tales of Berseria, Kingdom Hearts, Ys 8, Tokyo Xanadu... While there's still some ports most of these are looking good or better than what we have now. Berseria is way better than Zestiria, P5 is great, Ys and Tokyo Xanadu are both good on Vita right now... The most I'm uncertain about is SE's output and NiNoKuni.

Because you pretty clearly decided I was saying something I didn't and rushed to drop your hot burn instead of actually read the context of what I said. The entire point of what I said was "JRPGs are not exclusively on the PS4 and there are a lot of good JRPGs coming out."

Except I'm not arguing about JRPGs off the PS4, I'm pointing out the fact that you immediately go "PS4 JRPGs are bad because they're all CH games!" when there's a multitude of reasons why it doesn't have the greatest track record as far as current games go. Like, you can hate a company and its lovely output as much as you want, but constantly bringing them up and blaming them for everything wrong in the world isn't exactly healthy. 3 games as in "3 CH games total on PS4". I wasn't addressing the second half of the post at all.

You still are rushing to defend CH so quickly you are not actually paying attention to the point of what I said. Also "constantly bringing them up" when this is the first time I've mentioned CH in ages?

There are a lot of good 3DS JRPGs and some of the upcoming PS4 jrpg's look really good. I agree with ImpAtom. However not all of us were already able to play translated Persona 5.
