I heard that LR was actually pretty good, but the FF13 brand pulled sales down.

Yeah pretty much. 13 was less divisive in Japan and they loved Lightning, but no one there cared about a third game after the first one was already kind of jarring to them and the second sold worse.

Also I've finally finished Xenoblade like two months ago and can be one of the cool kids in this thread. The music is good too, but I have a bias towards Sawano's style, that being said there could stand to be less vocal tracks in the game.

Have they fixed the part of the game where the HUD takes up too much of the screen and the combat is booty?

Several Atelier games
NIER
Valkyria Chronicles
FF Type-0
The FFXV Demo
Lightning Returns Final Fantasy XIII
Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans
The Mario & Luigi RPGs
Tons of SMT games that are not named Strange Journey
The World Ends With You
Bravely Default
Fire Emblem Awakening
Fate/Extra
Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep

Oh wait, I was wrong, these are the good jrpgs. These are the only ones I've played too, I'm sure some people are willing to speak up for Etrian Odyssey and a few of the Tales games. Maybe there's like one guy somewhere who'll stick up for Ni No Kuni, but he's crazy don't believe him.

Fate/Extra is a game where you get to play as a voiceless high school student in the moon cell holy grail war, which is a virtual world. The gameplay is basically rock-paper-scissors where you have to predict and plan out your attack according to what pattern you think the enemy is going to use. It's actually a pretty fun game with a very simple combat system that takes it a long way. Your characters of course get skills and you can buff them. You get to choose between one of three servants a Saber, Archer, and Caster. Your goal is of course to win the Moon Cell Holy Grail war and to do this you can actually gather information on enemy servants and masters and learn how they are and that actually gives you an advantage in fights.

It's a fun game.

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.

And you

Calling Type-0 good is a bit too complimentary. That game is average at best.

IF you didn't like the first game why the gently caress are you buying this when it's pretty much just doubling down on what the first game did?

I enjoyed XB's story and chars a lot even though it's all p standard JRPG fare and thought that was enough to make the game worth playin. Though, it took me about 3 years to beat it because playing consistently was an absolute chore since the battle system was so boring and uninteresting. I am hoping XBX fixes this since they seem to be making an effort to fix that because I've read the spoilers and the story and characters are definitely not gonna be what pulls me in.

Except it actually does? They don't just magically have completely different expectations. If it's well received over there then it will be here is how always works out.

Hahaa, what? What loving world do you live in where Japanese fans don't differ in opinion from western fans? Let's ignore the fact there's the entire FF12 vs FF13 debacle that both share completely different feelings on and bring up the fact that Xenoblade Chronicles actually has a following in the west compared to Japan with it's insanely minuscule fanbase. How about the fact that I'm sure this very thread has argued a million times about the outfits in this game and what is and is not acceptable and how Japanese games have had this for a very long time. Like how do you let the reactions of Japanese fans temper your expectations on a game that barely appealed to them to begin with on a console they own/care about even less than most western fans do?

I have a high tolerance for poor Japanese English given how long I've been hearing it, but there are lines that must be drawn and Beyond the Logos Artificial Destiny Emancipator is where I draw that line. Points to them for using Emancipator though, not every day you see that in a Japanese game.
