Man, yes! The first game that came to my mind when I saw this video was Rhapsody. I thought it would be so obscure that it wouldn't make the list. Absolutely deserving of the number 1 spot on this list.
Hahaha I bought it twice on PS3 & Switch! Sadly haven’t finished it yet however.. I tried Cosmic Star Heroine the other night and seemed pretty easy & streamlined.. Ni No Kuni 2 is very approachable if not for the tricky land battles and Civilization-Esque empire management
I'd cast a vote for Lufia 1 on the SNES. Beautiful, charming game that I definitely don't regret my time with, but stupidly simple. It was perhaps the first game that I can remember that gave you stats on things like character deaths at the end of the game, and I ended the game easily with 0 continues and 2 character deaths through the entire play through, and those were due to instant-death spells. As a teen ager. Before cutting my teeth on the Shin Megami Tensei series. That being said, I had fun with it, and even more fun with Lufia 2, which is an SNES gem that seems to have been lost to time.
I strongly agree with the author of this video when he says not to underestimate a game just because it's easy. I actually hate people who do that, bashing games just because they're not ridiculously hard. Not everyone likes things going from hard to worse (I for one do NOT) and I hate it when because a game is not like that then it gets crushed, very unfair!
I enjoy a descend challenge and but an easy game can be fun to. Okami is amazing and I did not got a single game over in that one. But a good challenge can vastly improve a game. prime example being Kingdom Hearts 2. The critical difficulty and the optional super bosses that it added made it so much better.
Omg! I played Magical Stasign! It was (and actually still is) my faaavorite jrpg😆 Finally someone is giving it credit😄 The video is really informative!👍 I like it!
Surprised at the amount of JRPG's you've played. I played Magical Starsign way back in the day and it's a good game. Not many know of it it seems like. And Enchanted Arms was a very slept on RPG but 1 of the best I played last generation
The only thing that drew me away from MS was the stylus requirement. Though I liked how it was very reminscent of Sword of Mana than anything else in the Mana series.
Currently playing Magical Starsign and can confirm that its ease doesn't detract from the overall charm of the game. It's even got a good amount of social commentary written into the comedy. Something I love about the girly games is that they aren't as repetitive in terms of story, aesthetics, and archetypal (lazy) character work. Starsign isn't some kind of masterwork, but it doesn't build its world entirely out of cliches, and that's really refreshing.
These easy games are necessary to welcome new comers ;) each of these games are worth playing, but to me Fantasy Life is probably the best here. Nice video btw.
I love Enchanted Arms! It was the first jrpg I bought on the 360. It was also the first game on the 360 that I earned the whole 1000 gamerscore. It’s definitely a hidden gem. Like you said it’s easy and it has a generic story, but it was fun.
Lol. Yeah, it's very easy but I found some parts of the game to be slightly challenging, so I didn't include it. Plus, I didn't beat it because it was just so damn boring =/
The first forest had a chest from which you could get 99 heal potions iirc. I completed that game but just because I was a teenager. I was crap indeed.
Erick Landon RPG Haha it might have to do with me as well man. I haven't played many RPG's, but Blue Dragon is one I remember. Yeah the final boss was tough af. Nevertheless PeteDorr once said that it is a good entry level RPG. Definitely not the easiest but not the hardest either then, with the exception of the boss battles, again.
I also think it could be a good entry for newcomers. It's a pretty decent game but, sadly, the final battle might feel very unbalanced to some beginners.
I found it easy as well. Sakaguchi made the game a little easy (without putting why here, to not give anything away). I expected a tough game I was a bit disappointed, and not too many people know I bought it the first day it came out, and Im normally not public about that fact
Yeah the only boss I found to be a challenge was the last boss. I heard there was optional bosses that were hard though. Good and underrated game Blue Dragon.
The ENTIRE Arland Trilogy is a two-side coin... they might be the easiest of all time imho, but could be one of the hardest if you want all the endings and all sidequests done, including all hidden bosses. But yesss, they are totally easy on main story-normal ending side (including Totori, btw)
Fantasy Life isn't easy... Main quest sure but the rest of it? God help you if you do the massive amount of optional content, it's projected at 200+ hours for a reason.
Fantasy Life is in my top 5 favorite games of all time. Yes, the main story is... mediocre at best, but the quests and the DLC are just so incredibly fun.
Oh, Rhapsody! I remember back in the days I took aaaaaaaaaaaaages to find this game. And it was worth it. It was one of the first games (if not the first) that had that humor appeal, and it made the difference. Nowadays we have lots of games like this, but at that time, at least in english, we didn't!
Golden sun dark dawn:What is difficulty?What do u mean bosses must be challenging?I like the game but it's not as great as the first 2 and it's laughably easy -Fire emblem Sacred stones:Way easier than the previous 2,the fact that u can train your characters makes it even easier. -Children of mana:Sometimes i can forgive repetitive games but this game is also very easy,it doesn't have much to draw you in Honorable mention,FF8 because u can break the game from the first disc with the whole card/item refine system
I didn't know you could break FF8 with that. I never beat it because, like many other gamers, I fell into its trap of overusing the GFs (summons) to beat the crap outta everybody...only to die miserably at the end, over and over again.
Aah,you must focus on the limit breaks and upgrading your weapons,you really want the lionheart cause squall's limit break is overpowered as hell(over 240K damage).The only spells u need to use really are Haste,Aura and meltdown to exploit the triangle to the maximum.Squall,Irvine and zell have the most damaging limit breaks.
And..... I've never heard of a single game on this list other than Half Minute Hero (which I've never played). I was half expecting Final Fantasy Mystic Quest to be on this list, because it was designed at its core to be a Baby RPG but oddly enough, the game is actually far more hard than you think it should be (assuming you don't exploit a few ridiculous glitches). A couple of the bosses will throw you for a loop and the last boss is ludicrously hard (compared to the rest of the game) assuming you don't exploit glitches. That said, trying to rate challenge in an RPG is difficult -- JRPGs are usually built around the fact that you set your own challenge by how much XP you decide to grind (or don't). Many mainstream JRPGs can be made pathetically easy by grinding, and grinding itself is never a challenge -- it only tests your patience and how long you are willing to grind, how long you're willing to wait to progress into the game's story. If you grind enough, though, you can make many games ridiculously easy to the point it is almost impossible to lose. I remember once, family member and I worked on a BoF3 save where we farmed stat up items where everybody had 999 attack with pointed sticks and everybody got EX turns against the fastest enemy in the game, and everybody had 999 defense with no armor equipped just for fun. Easiest RPG ever, right? Well obviously not, because BoF3's final dungeon is actually rather difficult. Normally. Unless you crazy grind it.
Agreed on Mystic Quest, which is why I didn't include it. And yes, most JRPGs, especially the mainstream ones, are just nothing than a grindfest to make them feel as a walk in the park.
I hate to admit but I'm not yet an RPG veatren so I prefer my JRPGs to be on the easy side. I play them mostly for the story anyway. And sadly I have not played enough to make a top 10. I guess I'm already familiar with how they work tho. I do know of an extremely easy JRPG tho which is Akiba'Strip. I think i beat the game 5 times lol.
I find Atelier Rorona really hard if you care for a good ending. I'm scared to do the extra time from the DX version because my equipment sucks and it's not easy to make good one without guides.
Half Minute Hero is awesome. I was only able to play it for a short time when i played it at a friends house. Since then i was searching for a copy of my own. But it is very hard to find (or expensive) over here
Ha Ha! I loved Fantasy Life. I spent more time in that game than any other. Over 500 hours and didn't 100 percent it. It was easy and that's why I liked it. I didn't constantly die in battles. Repetitive? Somewhat, though not any more than grinding for hours in other JRPGs. And being easier, I actually moved forward. That's what makes games great though... Something for everyone! Great video! P. S. Both my daughter and I played Magical Starsign when she was about 7 and I have such fond memories of it.
The Golden Sun series is extremely easy, I really like the games because I love puzzles and I think they look amazing for being hand held games. But it was really frustrating they had super cool battles with all kinds of skills you can combine and do awesome stuff. But you never actually have to do any of that if you just auto attack you can always win. That is probably it would be near the top of my list just for the reason of having complex systems that are not even needed.
I found those two games to be fair enough; not easy but not hard. Battles are easy, yes, even bosses, but what made me exclude them for the list was the fact that some dungeons or puzzles are really hard or annoying.
I agree the puzzles were harder than the battles, it just really frustrates me how much effort they put into the battle system only to make it not needed. It would be the similar if Fire Emblems rock,paper,scissors mechanics didn't actually matter and you could one shot someone with any character. Its just such a shame because the Golden Sun games are really awesome and would of probably been some of the top RPGs ever if they had made use the potential they put into the battles!
It's the same logic as the classic meme "Save all those cool items for the final battles" and you never use them, hahaha. Golden Sun didn't force players to exploit its battle system, it was kind of an optional thing. Not to defend the games but I don't think the devs made that on purpose.
Haha that is true with the items for sure one of the reasons I love the Tales series where you can put it on nightmare or chaos mode so you have to use everything in your arsenal to win.I really liked the Golden Sun games, Lufia 2 and Wild Arms being some of my favorite games ever no way I couldn't loved a puzzle JRPG. In reality its more rare to have a RPG be hard then not as most problems can be fixed with just a few more levels. I think that is why the ones that manage to be hard and have good stories stand out so much!
the Golden Sun games are pretty evenly balanced....and if you really want to find a decent challenge in them, challenge Dullahan in Lost Age and/or Dark Dawn....that optional boss is a massive pain
I played that rhapsody ps1 game and it was so easy, the thing that I like is the song when he duets with the prince, I can remember her name is garnet.
Enchanted Arms was very easy ... easy to 100% on achievements, as well. Another one that was easy, but I liked, is Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure for PS1.
Another nice video, keep it up I played enchanted arms when it came out on xbox 360, liked it but yeah its easy, i actually didnt notice i had points to distribute until i reached the first major boss and he crushed me (like halfway through the game, one of the major ones i think) Also played fantasy life, its a pretty good game for the crafting system and side quests/dungeons, the main quest was pretty easy and boring for me xD
bellick 4 very true.if you get full hp and mp everytime you level up,use all the strong spells and techniques without mercy. i remenber fighting with galeon the first time and was a mandatory losing battle ,and after a lot of time in that battle and after using items i realized something was wrong. i let he kill me and after watch i lose anyway,i reset the fight and dont lose my items.
Magical Starsign is a personal favorite of mine ( not super high on my list though, in the top 25 at best tbh ), and I even enjoyed it's predecessor even though I can't read Japanese. I've even come up with ideas on how to make the player character ( who I call Magic Student as the basic term ) into a fighter for Smash Bros. also the first 2 Fossil Fighters games are pretty easy
#7 is one that is so easy it is hard. My current play through is a dud; because without realizing I was doing it I ran out of time to do everything I need to; it is so easy to think 3 months/years (whichever it was) and feel that is plenty of time why hurry? why to hurry a little in the game is that it can take weeks of in game time to complete some quests in order to boost the population enough to succeed; I underestimated how long I needed to get stuff done and am stuck in a month or less long death loop. If unlike me you possess time managment skills at all you should be fine. Great game though.
I think with the Atelier games, the easy difficulty is only if you don't care about getting the best ending, since getting those actually requires a lot of planning and strategizing, plus knowing the systems in and out so you don't use up too much time, especially Rorona requires a lot of work for it's best ending. I'd say it's the hardest of the Arland trilogy to get all endings actually
TrulySilentLie do the "Plus" versions work the same for getting the best endings? I only have Roroona Plus game on my Vita, I got it long time ago for a trivial price. Anyways, I'm not too experienced in JRPGs aside from the action oriented ones. Knowing that if i choose to play "Easy" can I still get what you call the best ending? I love to complete my games as much as possible before moving on so I'd like an advice on that.
Shinsuke Sama it's all about planning and utilising all your time well, doing stuff for all the party members every time you can and stuff. It's full of busywork
TrulySilentLie agreed. The atelier games aren't easy if you're playing them right. The battles are rough and the synthesizing is as well. But I love them and am trying to own them all.
In Japan its called Magical Vacation DS , and is a part 2. Magical Vacation 1 is a GameBoy Advance RPG in japan. The DS one has minimal reference from part 1.
You are absolutely right. In fact the hardest part of Grandia 2 was the very first dungeon (and maybe the optional ruins just before the endgame, but only because the monsters there were able to insta-kill your whole party with BA-BOOM)
This Gagharv trilogy are the best. The third one "The Legend of Heroes: Song of the Ocean" is probably the rarest NTSC PSP game in my country. Took me years to find one copy. I played like it was the last game of my life ^^
Erick Landon RPG Forgot to say that im from Brazil. I meant NTSC Psp game. Probably top5 rarest here. Im still looking for Spectral Souls and Hexyz Force to complete my JRPG colection for PSP.
I think your really missing the point with atelier, sure running it once it super easy in fact you can skip all the dialog to get it done fast, but getting the events done for the platinum is really hard idk if it's possible after 1 run or running through it blindly without a guide (and the extra bosses require a good build for your equip, along with bomb production). Also both Totori and Meruru were actually made to be more lenient with the time system than Rorona actually. The reason I said dark souls was easy is because you just use the best magic for insane DPS on bosses without getting close, it could've easily made this list (and you don't gotta run it alot of times for a platinum, maybe twice for spells/miracles). Pokemon red and blue are also one of the easiest JRPGs I've played as well, there's more glitches in the game than people realize, watch the fastest speedrun of it and tell me what you think.
Enchanted Arms was the first jrpg on both the 360 and PS3, but The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion was released on the 360 in the west before Enchanted Arms. So first RPG on 360 in Japan, first JRPG in the west but second RPG in the west.
You could play online multiplayer on the Xbox 360 version of Enchanted Arrms, but since the servers are most likely shut down I don't think you can do so anymore.
I knew it! I haven't done any research on it but I kinda had the feeling that Enchanted Arms was indeed the first JRPG for the last generation. Thanks for the info.
For me Sands of Destruction was pathetically easy. I went through most random encounters without taking any damage. The final boss only got one attack in.
I beat Final Fantasy II for the SNES (Final Fantasy IV Easy Type in Japan) in a little over 24 hours. It was the first JRPG I beat. That game was a cakewalk, ESPECIALLY after you have *spoiler* Edge throw the spoon at Zeromus. Huh, I think that's why The Tick's battle cry is "Spoon!", but then again maybe not.
The DS version, as well as the rest of the versions excluding the GBA, were based on FF IV: Hard Type. In it the entire enemy party attacks each time a Party Member takes an action. A lot of the cut contentent was restored as well. The GBA version is just a direct port of the US SNES version sadly.
Surprised there's no mention of Super Mario RPG. One of the very best and very easiest RPG's of all time. As was intended, of course. Also Mother 3 is incredibly easy if you remember ONE THING.... and that is... USE DEBUFFS ON ALL BOSSES. Debuffs are way more OP in Mother 3 than any other RPG ever and they are insanely exploitable. The only boss fight that should EVER give anyone even the slightest bit of difficulty is Miracle Fassad.
"It's not a bad game but you're better off playing anything else." Sounds like a bad game to me :). Heh, I'm just teasing. Great video, I really enjoy your content.
To be honest with you, I have mixed feelings about that game. I did enjoy it but it eventually got really boring so I quit mainly out of boredom. I really have no idea how I would deem that game, if good or bad.
On a serious note, original ff7 was easy enough excluding side bosses. Only unlike mystic quest, it worked as an advantage so people unfamiliar with Japanese games could get into it.
I find the easiest RPGs come from the later years of the SNES and the early years of the PSX. I've played probably 150+ RPGs, the easiest I can think of are Final Fantasy 6 and 7. Final Fantasy 6, IMO, is easier than FF7 because FF7 has a few difficulty spike areas. Mario RPG is probably the next easiest, FF4 and Chrono Trigger are also fairly easy, but both are still quite a bit more difficult than FF6 and 7. Pokemon games are also super easy, and they're RPGs too (although more like virtual collector games which use an RPG battle mechanic to grind development). IMO FF6 or FF7 are the best beginner RPGs.
Also, IMO, easy doesn't mean bad. I generally enjoy easy RPGs more than difficult ones because for me the fun in them is growing my characters, exploring a world, and experiencing a great/fun story... sometimes difficulty just gets in the way of that and slows things down. Although, I'm the opposite when it comes to strategy RPGs, I much prefer them to be difficult (although better balanced than FFT which at several points throws you in weird 1 on 1 or 1 on 2 battles that are WAAAY more difficult than the final boss of the game).
I'm a complete noob when it comes to JRPG's. The only traditional JRPG I could play, understand its systems and enjoy, from start to finish, is Riviera: The Promised Land.
I couldn't get into Tales of Xillia cause it was too easy. Mindless playing. I didn't play long. Enchanted Arms I guess is easy. Don't recall it being super easy though. Star Ocean 4 I didn't play long cause it was easy feeling. But maybe I should have given them longer changes. Probably was impatient. Suikoden 4 I didn't find that challenging. Final Fantasy 8 was super easy. 15 was basically a movie. The challenging part would be to die on purpose lol.
I turned this on and the Suikoden III music was on, and I was like 'No way, Suikoden III is probably the toughest of the Suikoden games'. For the Suikoden games, I would probably go 3, 2, 5, 4 then 1 from toughest to easiest. Even though Suikoden 1 is the easiest, I would not put it on this list.
5 and 3 are definitely he toughest, in my opinion, but to be honest... no Suikoden game is actually that hard. Also, sorry if the song spooked you, hahaha, Suikoden games might not be hard, but they're definitely not easy either (with the exception, maybe, of 1).
I think this list is about *good* easy rpgs The easiest and worst rpg I have ever played is Lunar Legend on GBA .... I'll talk about the easy side ... Forget the strength of your enemies , forget the equipment , forget grinding ... What if I told you that throughout my experience of that game I couldn't get a game over screen because when a character dies , the game automatically revives him/her . So to lose a battle , all your characters must die ... In one turn ... Even in Final Fantasy series which include some of the hardest RPG don't just kill the entire party with one move ... Let alone a game like Lunar
Man. Grandia was without a doubt the easiest JRPG I've ever played next to Final Fantasy Mystic Quest. The game kept showering you with healing items and I never had to use any of them. I 1-shotted almost every random battle in the game and none of the bosses posed any challenge. In fact the only challenge was trying to level up my characters, since unless I intentionally made Justin skip his turn, none of them ever got a chance to attack.
Agreed. Rhapsody was, no joke, the game I thought of when I saw the title of the video. I played most of the battles without looking at the screen, just bashing A repeatedly.
Neopet pet adventures the want of wishing PSP. Easy action rog but great fun and addictive. I'm thinking you would definitely describe it as cheesy though having seen this video 😉
Fighting the optional super bosses were challenging. Then again I guess since I beat them vs not bothering cause it'll take an insane amount of time and walkthroughs, I'll say it's easy for super boss standards
the magical starsign is the worst in the term of animation! it was too long, there this one time I fall a sleep during battle because time to choose your attack and the attack animation took so long, and they doesn't have skip or auto attack
North American releases only. That's why I didn't include Last Ranker (and by the way, I didn't know it was already translated... either that or you understand Japanese- or how did you play it?)
No i played jp release, my room mate knows japanese a bit. It's only one JP game that he is own. So dunno about translation, maybe fun-based is out, need to check in.
I remember playing chrono trigger when I was much younger and thinking that that was the easiest game I ever played and the most hyped, I think most of the enemies did like 2 hit points of damage, oh and it was way too short
I really like that you refuse to give a full opinion on games you haven´t finished, a lot of people could learn from you since they´re usually like "This game is garbage, I know because I played it for 20 minutes"
Of all Atelier games Mana Khemia for ps2 is probably the easiest of them all. Battles are really easy and the time limit that is the same as most of the newer Atelier games is insanely generous. 2nd easiest is is probably Atelier Iris 2. Atelier Iris 3 I dunno because I never completed it because how garbage the game was.
I was tempted to put that game on the list but I didn't for 2 reasons: 1.- Precisely because there are some really hard boss battles. 2.- I think it's time I've left that game alone, lol.
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest was way too easy even when it was 1st released. It was made to teach us stupid people on how to play rpg's which wasn't a huge genre at the time. I played it after playing final fantasy 4 which was made easier then it's original release in Japan and mystic quest is still easier then that version of final fantasy 4 I 100% it in under a week when it was released without any guide at all.
No Shadow hearts 2? That game is so easy you could kill a boss basically in 2-3 turns and not even allow him to act once! It's probably my biggest gripe with that game. Shadow hearts 3 on the other hand...
You know what? You're right. Now that I think about it, Covenant was fairly easy compared to the other two. I had zero trouble with every single boss battle in the game, including the final boss. But in any case, I don't think it's nowhere near as easy as the 10 on my list, but that's just me.
Ouch if you say so then It's not that bad: I always thought SH2 biggest issue was its easy difficulty, but most other games I play are on a medium difficulty for the most part so I guess it was unusual.
One thing I will also say in Covenant's favor is that some of its puzzles can be quite tough; I had to look up a walkthrough to solve them because I was really losing my mind, hahahaha.
Star Ocean First Departure is probably one of the easiest I have played. Unfortunately it was not that interesting, and I do not think I ever got around to finishing it. But Fantasy Life is one of my favorite RPGs of all time, it isn't too difficult but is super addictive, and some of the bosses can give you a run for your money.
@@ErickLandonRPG Also insulting since the actual biggest Nintendo JRPG series (Pokémon) is actually roasted for being "too easy". That gets me thinking, Nintendo actually provides a lot of JRPGs, including several series; Pokémon, PMD, Fire Emblem, Mario & Luigi, and does Paper Mario still count considering the direction the series has taken lately?
.hack gu last recode is by far the easiest game ive ever played, to the point where i quit it because battles just felt like a chore. i hate what theyve done with the mechanics for this remaster, the original gu games were just fine as they were.
I see, thanks for that info; I'll consider it before buying Last Recode. I've beaten the original PS2 ones and you're right, they're decent challenges.
some people dont seem to mind it, saying the games are story focused anyway, but the game also has a cheat mode which gives you max stats from the start specifically for the purpose of enjoying the story, so i dont get why they made the normal game so much easier. you get tonnes of exp and monsters are pretty much training dummies. there are people working on a difficulty mod for the pc version, but since its not exactly a popular game, and half the fanbase doesnt seem to care at all, progress is very very slow. ive actually put off playing it until someone fixes the difficulty because its just pointless at the moment.
Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure, it's really nice to see my favorite game being at the top of the list for once :)
It looks like a cute little time waster! ^-^ What do you think of the DS remake that he talked about?
@@themojogamer75 Truth be told I never played the DS remake
@@LilDemona Aaaah gotcha. Welp, either way!
I actually like easy going games. More if the atmosphere is cutesy.
Man, yes! The first game that came to my mind when I saw this video was Rhapsody. I thought it would be so obscure that it wouldn't make the list. Absolutely deserving of the number 1 spot on this list.
I think Child of Light is algo an easy RPG, but the gameplay is so charming that has become one of my favorite games of all time.
Hahaha I bought it twice on PS3 & Switch! Sadly haven’t finished it yet however.. I tried Cosmic Star Heroine the other night and seemed pretty easy & streamlined.. Ni No Kuni 2 is very approachable if not for the tricky land battles and Civilization-Esque empire management
I thought child of light was challenging! It gets tough at the spider lair for sure. did you play on easy?
I'd cast a vote for Lufia 1 on the SNES. Beautiful, charming game that I definitely don't regret my time with, but stupidly simple. It was perhaps the first game that I can remember that gave you stats on things like character deaths at the end of the game, and I ended the game easily with 0 continues and 2 character deaths through the entire play through, and those were due to instant-death spells. As a teen ager. Before cutting my teeth on the Shin Megami Tensei series. That being said, I had fun with it, and even more fun with Lufia 2, which is an SNES gem that seems to have been lost to time.

But a good challenge can vastly improve a game. prime example being Kingdom Hearts 2. The critical difficulty and the optional super bosses that it added made it so much better.
Pokémon gets trashed a lot by people with that sort of mentality.
Finally someone who likes Enchanted Arms :D
What is about , not firmlar
Omg! I played Magical Stasign! It was (and actually still is) my faaavorite jrpg😆 Finally someone is giving it credit😄 The video is really informative!👍 I like it!
Surprised at the amount of JRPG's you've played. I played Magical Starsign way back in the day and it's a good game. Not many know of it it seems like. And Enchanted Arms was a very slept on RPG but 1 of the best I played last generation
Thank you. Indeed, MS was good enough as was Enchanted Arms; both underrated games, in my opinion.
I beat Ms and got kinda far in enchanted arms. Up to the earth golem devil city
The only thing that drew me away from MS was the stylus requirement.
Though I liked how it was very reminscent of Sword of Mana than anything else in the Mana series.
Currently playing Magical Starsign and can confirm that its ease doesn't detract from the overall charm of the game. It's even got a good amount of social commentary written into the comedy. Something I love about the girly games is that they aren't as repetitive in terms of story, aesthetics, and archetypal (lazy) character work. Starsign isn't some kind of masterwork, but it doesn't build its world entirely out of cliches, and that's really refreshing.

I love Enchanted Arms! It was the first jrpg I bought on the 360. It was also the first game on the 360 that I earned the whole 1000 gamerscore. It’s definitely a hidden gem. Like you said it’s easy and it has a generic story, but it was fun.
Mystic quest anyone?
Алексей Кузнецов we don't talk about that game.
Understandable. Just sayin' that such, um, misunderstanding existed...
Lol. Yeah, it's very easy but I found some parts of the game to be slightly challenging, so I didn't include it. Plus, I didn't beat it because it was just so damn boring =/
The first forest had a chest from which you could get 99 heal potions iirc. I completed that game but just because I was a teenager. I was crap indeed.
i beat it, just to add to the completed games list, and final boss is cake, he has a huge exploit
I think Blue Dragon for the 360 was quite an easy game as well with the exception of the boss battles. Really enjoyed it though.
Erick Landon RPG Haha it might have to do with me as well man. I haven't played many RPG's, but Blue Dragon is one I remember. Yeah the final boss was tough af. Nevertheless PeteDorr once said that it is a good entry level RPG. Definitely not the easiest but not the hardest either then, with the exception of the boss battles, again.
I also think it could be a good entry for newcomers. It's a pretty decent game but, sadly, the final battle might feel very unbalanced to some beginners.
Plus the optional Poo bosses were nuts hard too!
I found it easy as well. Sakaguchi made the game a little easy (without putting why here, to not give anything away). I expected a tough game I was a bit disappointed, and not too many people know I bought it the first day it came out, and Im normally not public about that fact
Yeah the only boss I found to be a challenge was the last boss. I heard there was optional bosses that were hard though.
Good and underrated game Blue Dragon.
The ENTIRE Arland Trilogy is a two-side coin... they might be the easiest of all time imho, but could be one of the hardest if you want all the endings and all sidequests done, including all hidden bosses. But yesss, they are totally easy on main story-normal ending side (including Totori, btw)
Couldn't agree more.
Fantasy Life isn't easy... Main quest sure but the rest of it? God help you if you do the massive amount of optional content, it's projected at 200+ hours for a reason.
Oof
Fantasy Life is in my top 5 favorite games of all time. Yes, the main story is... mediocre at best, but the quests and the DLC are just so incredibly fun.
Oh, Rhapsody! I remember back in the days I took aaaaaaaaaaaaages to find this game. And it was worth it. It was one of the first games (if not the first) that had that humor appeal, and it made the difference. Nowadays we have lots of games like this, but at that time, at least in english, we didn't!
Yeah, funny game.
Golden sun dark dawn:What is difficulty?What do u mean bosses must be challenging?I like the game but it's not as great as the first 2 and it's laughably easy
-Fire emblem Sacred stones:Way easier than the previous 2,the fact that u can train your characters makes it even easier.
-Children of mana:Sometimes i can forgive repetitive games but this game is also very easy,it doesn't have much to draw you in
Honorable mention,FF8 because u can break the game from the first disc with the whole card/item refine system
I didn't know you could break FF8 with that. I never beat it because, like many other gamers, I fell into its trap of overusing the GFs (summons) to beat the crap outta everybody...only to die miserably at the end, over and over again.
Aah,you must focus on the limit breaks and upgrading your weapons,you really want the lionheart cause squall's limit break is overpowered as hell(over 240K damage).The only spells u need to use really are Haste,Aura and meltdown to exploit the triangle to the maximum.Squall,Irvine and zell have the most damaging limit breaks.
I'll take that into consideration on my next playthrough. Thanks!
The easiest RPGs I’ve played are Golden Sun Dark Dawn and Fossil Fighters.
FF8? AGREE. I deal 9999 early with Leon. 😩
I played Rhapsody on DS, and totally love it!
the graphic is cute, nice story, great music, overall this game is very very very enjoyable 🥰
mother Series is what got me into RPGs and Golden Sun, Sword of Mana
And..... I've never heard of a single game on this list other than Half Minute Hero (which I've never played). I was half expecting Final Fantasy Mystic Quest to be on this list, because it was designed at its core to be a Baby RPG but oddly enough, the game is actually far more hard than you think it should be (assuming you don't exploit a few ridiculous glitches). A couple of the bosses will throw you for a loop and the last boss is ludicrously hard (compared to the rest of the game) assuming you don't exploit glitches. That said, trying to rate challenge in an RPG is difficult -- JRPGs are usually built around the fact that you set your own challenge by how much XP you decide to grind (or don't).
Many mainstream JRPGs can be made pathetically easy by grinding, and grinding itself is never a challenge -- it only tests your patience and how long you are willing to grind, how long you're willing to wait to progress into the game's story. If you grind enough, though, you can make many games ridiculously easy to the point it is almost impossible to lose. I remember once, family member and I worked on a BoF3 save where we farmed stat up items where everybody had 999 attack with pointed sticks and everybody got EX turns against the fastest enemy in the game, and everybody had 999 defense with no armor equipped just for fun. Easiest RPG ever, right? Well obviously not, because BoF3's final dungeon is actually rather difficult. Normally. Unless you crazy grind it.
Agreed on Mystic Quest, which is why I didn't include it. And yes, most JRPGs, especially the mainstream ones, are just nothing than a grindfest to make them feel as a walk in the park.
I hate to admit but I'm not yet an RPG veatren so I prefer my JRPGs to be on the easy side. I play them mostly for the story anyway. And sadly I have not played enough to make a top 10. I guess I'm already familiar with how they work tho. I do know of an extremely easy JRPG tho which is Akiba'Strip. I think i beat the game 5 times lol.
I find Atelier Rorona really hard if you care for a good ending. I'm scared to do the extra time from the DX version because my equipment sucks and it's not easy to make good one without guides.
Half Minute Hero is awesome. I was only able to play it for a short time when i played it at a friends house. Since then i was searching for a copy of my own. But it is very hard to find (or expensive) over here
Yes, it's a really cool game.
whats the music used at 12:40 ?
you are not jrpg fan if you doesn't know that song
yep @@humanizedkun6488
@@humanizedkun6488 yea. I'll just say it's from Chrono Trigger:D
Ha Ha! I loved Fantasy Life. I spent more time in that game than any other. Over 500 hours and didn't 100 percent it. It was easy and that's why I liked it. I didn't constantly die in battles. Repetitive? Somewhat, though not any more than grinding for hours in other JRPGs. And being easier, I actually moved forward. That's what makes games great though... Something for everyone! Great video! P. S. Both my daughter and I played Magical Starsign when she was about 7 and I have such fond memories of it.
Thank you.
The Golden Sun series is extremely easy, I really like the games because I love puzzles and I think they look amazing for being hand held games. But it was really frustrating they had super cool battles with all kinds of skills you can combine and do awesome stuff. But you never actually have to do any of that if you just auto attack you can always win. That is probably it would be near the top of my list just for the reason of having complex systems that are not even needed.
I found those two games to be fair enough; not easy but not hard. Battles are easy, yes, even bosses, but what made me exclude them for the list was the fact that some dungeons or puzzles are really hard or annoying.
I agree the puzzles were harder than the battles, it just really frustrates me how much effort they put into the battle system only to make it not needed.
It would be the similar if Fire Emblems rock,paper,scissors mechanics didn't actually matter and you could one shot someone with any character. Its just such a shame because the Golden Sun games are really awesome and would of probably been some of the top RPGs ever if they had made use the potential they put into the battles!
It's the same logic as the classic meme "Save all those cool items for the final battles" and you never use them, hahaha. Golden Sun didn't force players to exploit its battle system, it was kind of an optional thing. Not to defend the games but I don't think the devs made that on purpose.
Haha that is true with the items for sure one of the reasons I love the Tales series where you can put it on nightmare or chaos mode so you have to use everything in your arsenal to win.I really liked the Golden Sun games, Lufia 2 and Wild Arms being some of my favorite games ever no way I couldn't loved a puzzle JRPG.
In reality its more rare to have a RPG be hard then not as most problems can be fixed with just a few more levels. I think that is why the ones that manage to be hard and have good stories stand out so much!
the Golden Sun games are pretty evenly balanced....and if you really want to find a decent challenge in them, challenge Dullahan in Lost Age and/or Dark Dawn....that optional boss is a massive pain
I played that rhapsody ps1 game and it was so easy, the thing that I like is the song when he duets with the prince, I can remember her name is garnet.
FFIX coincidence.
Enchanted Arms was very easy ... easy to 100% on achievements, as well.
Another one that was easy, but I liked, is Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure for PS1.
One of the few I maxed out achievements.
Another nice video, keep it up
I played enchanted arms when it came out on xbox 360, liked it but yeah its easy, i actually didnt notice i had points to distribute until i reached the first major boss and he crushed me (like halfway through the game, one of the major ones i think)
Also played fantasy life, its a pretty good game for the crafting system and side quests/dungeons, the main quest was pretty easy and boring for me xD
Thank you. Yeah, good games even though being very easy.
bellick 4 very true.if you get full hp and mp everytime you level up,use all the strong spells and techniques without mercy.
i remenber fighting with galeon the first time and was a mandatory losing battle ,and after a lot of time in that battle and after using items i realized something was wrong.
i let he kill me and after watch i lose anyway,i reset the fight and dont lose my items.
Magical Starsign is a personal favorite of mine ( not super high on my list though, in the top 25 at best tbh ), and I even enjoyed it's predecessor even though I can't read Japanese. I've even come up with ideas on how to make the player character ( who I call Magic Student as the basic term ) into a fighter for Smash Bros.
also the first 2 Fossil Fighters games are pretty easy
#7 is one that is so easy it is hard.
My current play through is a dud; because without realizing I was doing it I ran out of time to do everything I need to; it is so easy to think 3 months/years (whichever it was) and feel that is plenty of time why hurry? why to hurry a little in the game is that it can take weeks of in game time to complete some quests in order to boost the population enough to succeed; I underestimated how long I needed to get stuff done and am stuck in a month or less long death loop.
If unlike me you possess time managment skills at all you should be fine. Great game though.
*CONGRATULATIONS!*
*YOU HAVE UNLOCKED HARD MODE*
I think with the Atelier games, the easy difficulty is only if you don't care about getting the best ending, since getting those actually requires a lot of planning and strategizing, plus knowing the systems in and out so you don't use up too much time, especially Rorona requires a lot of work for it's best ending. I'd say it's the hardest of the Arland trilogy to get all endings actually
TrulySilentLie do the "Plus" versions work the same for getting the best endings? I only have Roroona Plus game on my Vita, I got it long time ago for a trivial price. Anyways, I'm not too experienced in JRPGs aside from the action oriented ones. Knowing that if i choose to play "Easy" can I still get what you call the best ending? I love to complete my games as much as possible before moving on so I'd like an advice on that.
Shinsuke Sama it's all about planning and utilising all your time well, doing stuff for all the party members every time you can and stuff. It's full of busywork
TrulySilentLie agreed. The atelier games aren't easy if you're playing them right. The battles are rough and the synthesizing is as well. But I love them and am trying to own them all.
Magical Stars Sign was my first video game ever!
Really?! That's awesome!
In Japan its called Magical Vacation DS , and is a part 2.
Magical Vacation 1 is a GameBoy Advance RPG in japan.
The DS one has minimal reference from part 1.
Can you do an update on this? 🙂 I like easy JRPGs as Ive just startes to get into them
Grandia 2 is an easy gem. 👌
You are absolutely right. In fact the hardest part of Grandia 2 was the very first dungeon (and maybe the optional ruins just before the endgame, but only because the monsters there were able to insta-kill your whole party with BA-BOOM)
That's disappointing, was looking forward to it
This Gagharv trilogy are the best. The third one "The Legend of Heroes: Song of the Ocean" is probably the rarest NTSC PSP game in my country. Took me years to find one copy. I played like it was the last game of my life ^^
The RAREST in the USA??????? Are you serious?!?! :O
Erick Landon RPG Forgot to say that im from Brazil. I meant NTSC Psp game. Probably top5 rarest here. Im still looking for Spectral Souls and Hexyz Force to complete my JRPG colection for PSP.
Oh, I see.
I think your really missing the point with atelier, sure running it once it super easy in fact you can skip all the dialog to get it done fast, but getting the events done for the platinum is really hard idk if it's possible after 1 run or running through it blindly without a guide (and the extra bosses require a good build for your equip, along with bomb production). Also both Totori and Meruru were actually made to be more lenient with the time system than Rorona actually. The reason I said dark souls was easy is because you just use the best magic for insane DPS on bosses without getting close, it could've easily made this list (and you don't gotta run it alot of times for a platinum, maybe twice for spells/miracles). Pokemon red and blue are also one of the easiest JRPGs I've played as well, there's more glitches in the game than people realize, watch the fastest speedrun of it and tell me what you think.
Enchanted Arms was the first jrpg on both the 360 and PS3, but The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion was released on the 360 in the west before Enchanted Arms. So first RPG on 360 in Japan, first JRPG in the west but second RPG in the west.
You could play online multiplayer on the Xbox 360 version of Enchanted Arrms, but since the servers are most likely shut down I don't think you can do so anymore.
I knew it! I haven't done any research on it but I kinda had the feeling that Enchanted Arms was indeed the first JRPG for the last generation. Thanks for the info.
For me Sands of Destruction was pathetically easy. I went through most random encounters without taking any damage. The final boss only got one attack in.
I was hoping there would be a comment about Sands of Destruction here somewhere
I beat Final Fantasy II for the SNES (Final Fantasy IV Easy Type in Japan) in a little over 24 hours. It was the first JRPG I beat. That game was a cakewalk, ESPECIALLY after you have *spoiler* Edge throw the spoon at Zeromus. Huh, I think that's why The Tick's battle cry is "Spoon!", but then again maybe not.
And much ironically, everybody complained about the DS version being too hard. Hahaha, shit happens.
The DS version, as well as the rest of the versions excluding the GBA, were based on FF IV: Hard Type. In it the entire enemy party attacks each time a Party Member takes an action. A lot of the cut contentent was restored as well. The GBA version is just a direct port of the US SNES version sadly.
Rhapsody! Very easy for beginners, and the story is very short. You can easily beat it in a few hours.
You should put a list of the game on the description.
Any game(Rhapsody) that lets you use monsters as allies gets bonus points in my book.
no angry faces in this video. :(
xD
Surprised there's no mention of Super Mario RPG. One of the very best and very easiest RPG's of all time. As was intended, of course. Also Mother 3 is incredibly easy if you remember ONE THING.... and that is... USE DEBUFFS ON ALL BOSSES. Debuffs are way more OP in Mother 3 than any other RPG ever and they are insanely exploitable. The only boss fight that should EVER give anyone even the slightest bit of difficulty is Miracle Fassad.
very true, I think I died like 5 times against Fassad but never really had much difficulty with any of the other bosses.
"It's not a bad game but you're better off playing anything else." Sounds like a bad game to me :).
Heh, I'm just teasing. Great video, I really enjoy your content.
To be honest with you, I have mixed feelings about that game. I did enjoy it but it eventually got really boring so I quit mainly out of boredom. I really have no idea how I would deem that game, if good or bad.
Gonna play Rhapsody
On a serious note, original ff7 was easy enough excluding side bosses. Only unlike mystic quest, it worked as an advantage so people unfamiliar with Japanese games could get into it.
I find the easiest RPGs come from the later years of the SNES and the early years of the PSX. I've played probably 150+ RPGs, the easiest I can think of are Final Fantasy 6 and 7. Final Fantasy 6, IMO, is easier than FF7 because FF7 has a few difficulty spike areas. Mario RPG is probably the next easiest, FF4 and Chrono Trigger are also fairly easy, but both are still quite a bit more difficult than FF6 and 7. Pokemon games are also super easy, and they're RPGs too (although more like virtual collector games which use an RPG battle mechanic to grind development). IMO FF6 or FF7 are the best beginner RPGs.
Also, IMO, easy doesn't mean bad. I generally enjoy easy RPGs more than difficult ones because for me the fun in them is growing my characters, exploring a world, and experiencing a great/fun story... sometimes difficulty just gets in the way of that and slows things down. Although, I'm the opposite when it comes to strategy RPGs, I much prefer them to be difficult (although better balanced than FFT which at several points throws you in weird 1 on 1 or 1 on 2 battles that are WAAAY more difficult than the final boss of the game).
A very easy jrpg on PS1 was Shadow Madness. Not a terrible game, despite being on the low budget side, but way too easy.
I played Atelier Iris 2, and never have I felt I need to grind because of a difficult boss
haha, i remember playing rhapsody and thinking: realy? i just finished it? haha. it was easy but pretty fun
Wow. I didnt know that they changed the battle system of Rhapsody on the remake. wow. thanks (yea ps1 ver is
i loved playing magical starsign
Me too.
I'm a complete noob when it comes to JRPG's. The only traditional JRPG I could play, understand its systems and enjoy, from start to finish, is Riviera: The Promised Land.
You're a noob and you beat Riviera?
Ah, the ironies of life.
Rhapsody on the hardest level is too damn easy!
Is shing force ever mentioned in any of your videos?
Ps: Tony’s chocolonely ftw!
Yes, I've mentioned some of the games of that franchise before.
Erick Landon RPG So where?
super mario rpg snes, shadow hearts covenant ff XII and IX are all pretty easy, but easiest JRPG i have ever played what have to be FF mystic quest.
I couldn't get into Tales of Xillia cause it was too easy. Mindless playing. I didn't play long. Enchanted Arms I guess is easy. Don't recall it being super easy though. Star Ocean 4 I didn't play long cause it was easy feeling. But maybe I should have given them longer changes. Probably was impatient. Suikoden 4 I didn't find that challenging. Final Fantasy 8 was super easy. 15 was basically a movie. The challenging part would be to die on purpose lol.
I turned this on and the Suikoden III music was on, and I was like 'No way, Suikoden III is probably the toughest of the Suikoden games'. For the Suikoden games, I would probably go 3, 2, 5, 4 then 1 from toughest to easiest. Even though Suikoden 1 is the easiest, I would not put it on this list.
5 and 3 are definitely he toughest, in my opinion, but to be honest... no Suikoden game is actually that hard.
Also, sorry if the song spooked you, hahaha, Suikoden games might not be hard, but they're definitely not easy either (with the exception, maybe, of 1).
I think this list is about *good* easy rpgs
The easiest and worst rpg I have ever played is Lunar Legend on GBA .... I'll talk about the easy side ... Forget the strength of your enemies , forget the equipment , forget grinding ... What if I told you that throughout my experience of that game I couldn't get a game over screen because when a character dies , the game automatically revives him/her . So to lose a battle , all your characters must die ... In one turn ... Even in Final Fantasy series which include some of the hardest RPG don't just kill the entire party with one move ... Let alone a game like Lunar
Man. Grandia was without a doubt the easiest JRPG I've ever played next to Final Fantasy Mystic Quest. The game kept showering you with healing items and I never had to use any of them. I 1-shotted almost every random battle in the game and none of the bosses posed any challenge. In fact the only challenge was trying to level up my characters, since unless I intentionally made Justin skip his turn, none of them ever got a chance to attack.
the last game you mentioned, Rhapsody the ds version is just as easy or easier then the PS1 version! I still own it but i not going back to it lol.
Ah, thanks for the info!
Agreed. Rhapsody was, no joke, the game I thought of when I saw the title of the video. I played most of the battles without looking at the screen, just bashing A repeatedly.
Also that Legend of Heroes 2 was really easy, the game is cool for the first like 10 hours but it's repetitive couldn't finish it
Can anyone tell about Terra garden?
Zachary Rodriguez Terra Gaiden... imagine if a really cool RPG was turned into a dark fantasy novel. Trust me it’s awesome, so worth the price.
@@Hereticbliss322 ho that random manga readed once thanks
Neopet pet adventures the want of wishing PSP. Easy action rog but great fun and addictive. I'm thinking you would definitely describe it as cheesy though having seen this video 😉
Ni No Kuni 2 and Dragon Quest 11 are sadly too easy! DQ11 is still my GOTY btw. ;-)
Awww ☹️ was hoping DQ was at least decent. And that's why I haven't got Ni No 2. 1 was challenging and fun
You forgot Final Fantasy X-2, literally beat the entire game strictly pressing x and exclusivley attacking in every single battle.
Because you were overleveled? To be fair, it did seem rather easy to be overleveled in that game.
Fighting the optional super bosses were challenging. Then again I guess since I beat them vs not bothering cause it'll take an insane amount of time and walkthroughs, I'll say it's easy for super boss standards
the magical starsign is the worst in the term of animation! it was too long, there this one time I fall a sleep during battle because time to choose your attack and the attack animation took so long, and they doesn't have skip or auto attack
What about Brave story?
Meh. I'd say it's somewhere between easy and fairly easy. But not one of the easiest, in my opinion.
in moderate easy i'll add "Last Ranker" too :)
North American releases only. That's why I didn't include Last Ranker (and by the way, I didn't know it was already translated... either that or you understand Japanese- or how did you play it?)
No i played jp release, my room mate knows japanese a bit. It's only one JP game that he is own. So dunno about translation, maybe fun-based is out, need to check in.
I remember playing chrono trigger when I was much younger and thinking that that was the easiest game I ever played and the most hyped, I think most of the enemies did like 2 hit points of damage, oh and it was way too short
also Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (SNES)
I think that "nostalgia" for the ds is a good decent game but waaaay too easy.
Speaking of ''RPGs for girls'', I was expecting Blue Reflection somewhere in this video.
no ff,tales of?
Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, Knights Of Rayearth, Sailor Moon for SNES.
I really like that you refuse to give a full opinion on games you haven´t finished, a lot of people could learn from you since they´re usually like "This game is garbage, I know because I played it for 20 minutes"
what's your PO Box Erick, so l can donate some money to you. Happy New years!

Surely you mean the Xbox 360 version, because the PS3 one is the total opposite, hahaha.
Erick Landon RPG yes I mean the 360 version. The ps3 port is superior in every way.
I came here to see Mystic Quest and I can't believe it wasn't included . It was the easiest RPG I have ever played.
Ps3 gun RPG game Resonances of Fate beautiful graphics than ps4 games underated with the best costumes
....what.
@@ErickLandonRPG resonance of fates
Of all Atelier games Mana Khemia for ps2 is probably the easiest of them all. Battles are really easy and the time limit that is the same as most of the newer Atelier games is insanely generous. 2nd easiest is is probably Atelier Iris 2. Atelier Iris 3 I dunno because I never completed it because how garbage the game was.
I care. #ThisGuy
Despite bosses ff13 is one of easiest i just spam autobattle for all non bosses fights
I was tempted to put that game on the list but I didn't for 2 reasons: 1.- Precisely because there are some really hard boss battles. 2.- I think it's time I've left that game alone, lol.
ff15 is easier than ff13
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest was way too easy even when it was 1st released. It was made to teach us stupid people on how to play rpg's which wasn't a huge genre at the time. I played it after playing final fantasy 4 which was made easier then it's original release in Japan and mystic quest is still easier then that version of final fantasy 4 I 100% it in under a week when it was released without any guide at all.
No Shadow hearts 2? That game is so easy you could kill a boss basically in 2-3 turns and not even allow him to act once! It's probably my biggest gripe with that game.
Shadow hearts 3 on the other hand...
You know what? You're right. Now that I think about it, Covenant was fairly easy compared to the other two. I had zero trouble with every single boss battle in the game, including the final boss. But in any case, I don't think it's nowhere near as easy as the 10 on my list, but that's just me.
Ouch if you say so then It's not that bad: I always thought SH2 biggest issue was its easy difficulty, but most other games I play are on a medium difficulty for the most part so I guess it was unusual.
One thing I will also say in Covenant's favor is that some of its puzzles can be quite tough; I had to look up a walkthrough to solve them because I was really losing my mind, hahahaha.
Although shadow hearts covenant is the easiest jrpg on the ps2 imo it is still my favorite game.
No kidding, it's definitely my favorite jrpgs on the ps2 alongside Persona 3 and maybe Ar tonelico 2
what about Miitopia? beautiful and fucking easy jrpg
Atelier is pronounced At-el-yay. I know; It's not spelled like that at all. That's the French for ya.
Erick Landon RPG Tales of Berseria is too easy
Evolution the World of Secret Device is the easiest jrpg that I play
Never heard of it o_O
FFVI and FFIX were way too easy... no challenge at all at 9 years old and hated grinding.
IX is too easy. VI isn't an easy game though, not saying it's super hard but not easy.
I don't care how easy or hard they are as long as they are good .
Someone who gets it.
Final Fantasy X
Star Ocean First Departure is probably one of the easiest I have played. Unfortunately it was not that interesting, and I do not think I ever got around to finishing it. But Fantasy Life is one of my favorite RPGs of all time, it isn't too difficult but is super addictive, and some of the bosses can give you a run for your money.
Miitopia is easy!!
No Fire Emblem matter of fact every single game in the series is damn easy
...seriously? This has got to be the worst bait I've ever seen.
@@ErickLandonRPG Also insulting since the actual biggest Nintendo JRPG series (Pokémon) is actually roasted for being "too easy".
That gets me thinking, Nintendo actually provides a lot of JRPGs, including several series; Pokémon, PMD, Fire Emblem, Mario & Luigi, and does Paper Mario still count considering the direction the series has taken lately?
You said Fantasy Life is fun and addicting but you only played it for a couple hours because you got bored.
I said that? I guess sometimes I make no sense.
.hack gu last recode is by far the easiest game ive ever played, to the point where i quit it because battles just felt like a chore. i hate what theyve done with the mechanics for this remaster, the original gu games were just fine as they were.
I see, thanks for that info; I'll consider it before buying Last Recode. I've beaten the original PS2 ones and you're right, they're decent challenges.
some people dont seem to mind it, saying the games are story focused anyway, but the game also has a cheat mode which gives you max stats from the start specifically for the purpose of enjoying the story, so i dont get why they made the normal game so much easier. you get tonnes of exp and monsters are pretty much training dummies. there are people working on a difficulty mod for the pc version, but since its not exactly a popular game, and half the fanbase doesnt seem to care at all, progress is very very slow. ive actually put off playing it until someone fixes the difficulty because its just pointless at the moment.
