This video should be called "10 great JRPGs I wish were released on the Playstation". Its a good list of hidden Gems, but you seem to assume that any JRPG released on a Playstation Console is automatically going to sell well. Which just isnt true, its a niche market in the west. And unless the game belongs to a established franchise, they will always struggle to sell massive amounts of copies.
I agree with your first statement. But he (Erick) is a Sony fanboy. So to him, every RPG should only be released on a PlayStation system and other systems shouldn't get anything. Kinda sad that he's so narrow minded.
But that's obvious, it's the result of gaming history developments that just put Nintendo infinitely behind Sony in terms of being welcoming to rpgs. Even though all franchises had history on Nintendo. And that basically shaped the rest of the genre's history. Secondly, it was perfectly fine to have released ports for PS consoles. I honestly don't see him turning things into a battle of exclusives. Like everything must be exclusive on the PS. He's is just disappointed that the game wasnt on PS too. PS consoles, including portables in this case, should have gotten ports of those good games that ended up exclusive in other systems.
So basically, stay in your lane, don't branch out, don't try to make anything new, don't challenge yourself, don't try to establish new working relationships.
Well, the baseline is more to the lines of: stay away from exclusivity/ Release your games on PC and Playstation first then think about Nintendo consoles and Xbox.
I've been playing through it as well. Blue Dragon was a miss for me, I just felt bored. I'll have to give it another shot. But Lost Odyssey is pretty good so far. I'm only like ten hours into it but looking forward to playing it more once things calm down a bit.
I bought a xbox 360 at the time because it had exclusivity on the best JRPGs at the time: Lost Odyssey, Tales of Vesperia, Infinite Undiscovery and Blue Dragon.
I just bought a factory sealed copy for $60. Thinking about getting it graded. Wish I could find a sealed copy of Xenoblade chronicles 2 for a reasonable price.
I don't agree with the whole "wrong console" thing; in some of these game's cases it was the platform holder trying to get more gamers interested in the product. If they never even tried and the games just went to the default "right" consoles then that just creates a Catch-22 for those consoles and it basically means less competition which is never a good thing. Some of these games only exist because a vacuum was present on these consoles to allow for experimentation and a niche to be filled, which might not have existed on other platforms where these games are both more popular and take up a lot of space (makes it harder for less-known games to get an audience). Plus with these games being exclusive (currently or not) to those systems it adds value to the back catalog for those systems and gives some people a reason to venture off the same old console or two to try new games in the genre, which is probably healthy overall for gaming.
I feel what your saying, but I also understand his point as well in some cases the GameCube was a solid home for JRPGs it helped reinstate popularity for the Tales of series in the west. But some games Like Lost Odyssey and Infinite Undiscovery Definatley as the Fanbase was pretty defined that Gen. PlayStation and Nintendo was the place for Platformers, Fighting games, Racing Games, andRPGs and Xbox was well heavy FPS and “Gritty Shooters community. So I think that’s the point he was trying to make.
@@renereyes2648 What are you talking about? The fanbase definitely wasn't "pretty defined" by the time Lost Odyssey came out, that was 2007, only a year after PS3's release during a period where the PS3 was struggling with quite a lot of content especially in the West, dev costs for it being expensive compared to 360 and the system being very difficult for many Japanese devs as they were moving to the HD era, again compared to 360. And Infinite Undiscovery was 2008; again, that 2006 - 2009 period in particular was really rough for devs to transition to PS3, and the Western market became much bigger for JRPGs then. The Wii wasn't powerful enough for a lot of those games hence why we saw some exclusives for 360 as well as games like FF going multiplat for the first time in their history with mainline entries. Also your history is way out of whack; it was the 360 that was home for fighters that gen. 360 version of SFIV was the tournament standard, it had the better port of VF5, as well as quite a lot of other fighting games. It didn't have some of the smaller games like Skullgirlz but it had all the big ones and was the preferred platform for them because XBL was actually good unlike PSN at that time. If that was the "point" he was trying to make then he's actually 100% factually wrong when we can look at the timelines and data and see what games actually released for these consoles back then and the conditions leading to them, so again I don't follow this notion there was a "wrong" platform for these games; if the fans really care about a game they will go where the game is it's always been that way before and it'll be that way again in the future...provided they're aware of the game, or the platform is commercially available.
Blah blah blah, whatever, in the end no home console managed to scratch PS's status with rpgs. Cases like Ogre Battle 64, Baten Kaitos, etc were truly wastes. At the very least there should have been ports to the PS. Like Tales of Symphonia, that released first on the GC and then got a PS2 port. Very simple solution.
My wife and I were late adopters of the PS3, and the 360 was what we had available to us. She played Lost Odyssey and I played Infinite Undiscovery. While they may have felt out of place on the 360 (earning their spots on this list) we were grateful for the Japanese developers making an attempt on an American console.
Mistwalkers appearance on the Xbox was actually much deeper. Sakaguchi relationship with Square fell apart so bad it actually impacted his relationship with Sony and other Japanese publishers. No one wanted to work with him and because of that difficulty Xbox offered to publish and fund it. So if Xbox didn't do it Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon literally would not have been released
So basically any JRPG that wasn't released for Sony consoles, and the reasoning behind... if a console is weak in JRPGs then it does not deserve any LoL
@Boom Aloom How they marketed their system? Are you talking about now? Because all they say is they are the best place to play game. They have a ton of SP games out and upcoming. So unless you are pretending this is 2005 or something I fail to see where your getting you info lol.
@Boom Aloom I'd argue that I need it based on the fact you haven't refuted anything I've said. The only reason Xbox was ever billed as the "MP console" is because XBL is far superior to PS and Nintendo online offering. It had no shortage of SP games lol. I mean Bioshock and Mass Effect were originally exclusives back in the day. Gears and Halo have strong SP components. Not to mention games like Lost Obyssey and Infinite Undiscovery from the times you are claiming. Thanks for confirming YOU have no factual basis to your argument though. Cheers.
Dude, there's absolutely no certainty these GC/N64/DC games would have been big successes on PS2. PS2 was also less powerful, so the games would have had to be changed up a lot.
Exactly all of those Gamecube JRPGs did well because a Gamecube JRPG was an event. A JRPG on the PS2 was just another Tuesday. I think the Japanese sales of Tales of Smyphonia on Gamecube compared to the PS2 proves that. Baten Kaitos sold better than a huge amount of PS2 JRPGs.
@@Chelaxim In Japan, or in the US? I personally would blame the sales of more niche JRPGs on Final Fantasy and Kingdom Heart's success. Since FF's decline, more series(like Persona, Kiseki/Trails, Xenoblade, Tales of) have been seeing some recognition. GameCube didn't have that competition, but it also wasn't really a console a lot of RPG players owned. That's my theory, anyway.
@@Chelaxim None of that still works as an argument for exclusive jrpgs on non PS systems. Nothing can speak against the status of the PS as a good place for rpgs in the late 90s and early 00s, it was an earned reputation. So Baten Kaitos and other examples should have been ported. It's you who are turning the matter into a battle of exclusives and ridiculous console war in the end.
"I felt this game didn't work well on the 360 and that it would've wo0rked best on the PS3" They're the same thing... That's like saying one dishwasher washes better than another equivalent dishwasher. Though there probably was a larger market for JRPG's on the PS3, the way they play would be completely unaffected by the console.
Sakaguchi had a beef with Ken Kutaragi and he hated him enough to not release his games on Playstation. He said Kutaragi screamed some hurtful words at him that he will remember till his death.
With that background, I think Mistwalker might be more willing to spread out in those directions… What I do want is Spirits Within’s spiritual successor by Mistwalker but nit sure how that’s be
5:43 Yes Dreamcast in early 2000 was dead, but in Japan console still get a big releases like Sakura Wars 3 and 4. Skies of Arcadia propably did not get PS2 port, becouse SEGA in early 2000 proritizes Sakura Wars, and Overworks helped with PC/PS2 ports.
During that gen I had both ps3 and 360 but I got the 360 simply for Mistwalker. I have not owned a xbox in awhile. Is the backwards compatibility nice? Such as improving resolution etc. Would love to pull out my 360 RPGs again.
I would love if they put Lost Odyssey on PC. I played it when it came out loved it, but I haven't had an Xbox console since the 360 and that red ringed a long time ago. I've been wanting to replay Lost Odyssey for a few years now, but there's just no way for me to do it without buying new hardware.
Man, the decision to release a game on a console does not rest entirely on the software house. If the publisher wants the exclusive they pay the software house. That means that maybe gamers might miss a gem, but even if the game bombs they still made Money out of It thanks to the publisher.
@@aquapendulum Yeah, like I said its wrong on a few levels. Marketing, resource allocation, development process. This whole list are games before eighth gen so the hardware you released on played a huge role in how your game turned out, same if its was a multiplat release, regardless of the hardware's "strength". This whole concept of "everything SHOULD be fair and balanced" in game releases is a new talking point that is only made possible now thanks to software and hardware architecture becoming heavily standardized within the past 7 years. Before that tho? Yeah your game could absolutely miss it's intended outcome based entirely on the hardware you released on. Eric is spot on with his use of "Wrong Console" here.
@@Westile We are not developers. We are gamers. Marketing, resource allocation, development process are none of our concerns. The only "right consoles" that games should be on are the ones we own. If our benefits have to come at the cost to developers, so be it. Better than developers' benefits come at the cost of us.
@@noght sorry but stop complaining that this game persona 4 isn't not release other console ps4/xbox. that it's already not bad that release on pc steam because i recall first persona 4 cost expensive nowaday in physical in my case it's impossible to play in game unreachable ,secondly this version steam isn't not any version it's version golden who exclusive on psvita. considered you lucky that it is available on pc (steam) and cheap !. yeah i know that the only problem with steam it's most game are full crap drm rather worst fucking denuvo (the worst drm ever) in the case persona 4 golden i played and trust me isn't not it is not unplayable.

They are available through back-compate on all Xbox systems (Xbox One, S, X, and Series X|S). On One X and SeriesX|S it has 4k upscaling and auto HDR on SeriesX|S
@@gamingwithritz632 I'm so out of touch, I don't even know what S, x, Series X whatever is supposed to. What is which gen? No idea, don't care. Gimme the games on Switch or PS4/5 please. Thanks.
But a port wouldnt have hurt. This is not about releasing here instead of there. This isnt the situation sometimes. Tales of Symphonia released first on the GC and then was ported to the PS2.
now we just need Nintendo to get Switch remasters of the remaining 2 made...I'd happily buy 2nd copies of Pandora's Tower and Last Story for the portability, reworked controls and various QOL improvements they'd get. Assuming they got the same love Xenoblade did that is...
Mmm I think you forgot that the PS3 was a disaster at launch what made some of these deals posible . Tbh there is no such thing as the wrong console. Sounds like a bad take.
Might as well call this video "I don't think anything can fail on PlayStation!" The whole video just reeks of PlayStation fanboyism. Even games funded by Nintendo and Microsoft like The Last Story and Lost Odyssey made the list! Yeah, they totally should have released those games on PlayStation!!
I agree with about every game on this list, *especially* Lost Odyssey. However, in all honesty, Lost Odyssey wouldn't have happened if not for Micro$oft, as they are the ones that funded the game. Methinks it would've had a MUCH better home if Sony had funded it, but, like you said about another game in this list, M$ was trying to win over some of the Japanese audience with some JRPGs. (L.O. was the main reason I got a 360).
Actually thinking about it, putting skies of arcadia on the gamecube was a smart idea that sadly didn't go well. It was around the time that Sega and Nintendo started working together also Sonic Adventure,2 Battle, Advance trillogy and Heroes were way more popular than the original Dreamcast version. So sega thought they might make lighting strike again for an rpg this time so they put out skies of arcadia legends. I'm pretty sure there were some kids who not only got introduced to sonic games on the GC but also skies of arcadia along with Tales of, Paper Mario, Fire emblem. So... I think sega did a good job. Just didn't get lucky.
@@Irsyad711 And as a nice bonus: In Europe the mutliplatform RPGs like Star Ocean and so on were way cheaper to buy used. Heck, even now most 360 RPGs are cheap, because nobody wanted them :(
The Last Story is a Nintendo IP so its not coming anything but Nintendo. At least do some research XSEED only published in America because Nintendo of America told them to.
Was always kind of sad they didn't release the last story on any other console, I really liked the vagrant story reminiscent art direction and wanted to play it
Downvoted for giving incorrect information. Both Infinite Undiscovery and Lost Odyssey (just like Blue Dragon) are backwards compatible and playable on the Xbox Series X with better performance and graphics. You mean "the right console" is an aging piece of hardware and that is sure to fail and with no way to play the games anywhere else and with Sony attempting to shutdown PSN for it? Sony doesn't give a f*** about backwards compatibility and any game for it will be forever lost. Virtually any platform is better than Playstation. "The right console" my ***. Good luck with your PS3 and when it breaks pray that the used one you buy as a replacement lasts longer than yours did, otherwise all those RPGs will be forever gone.
If Xbox's big type games went exclusive for one game on another system the xbox players would be just as annoyed. Xbox isn't known for rpg's let alone jrpgs. Xbox is mostly fps, fighting games, sports games, and racing. True they have a bunch of other game types but these are majority that xbox focuses on and caters to. Which is perfectly ok. Sony has their list also while nintendo focuses hard on games for children and family party games. The issue is when you take a brand normally focused on one console and make an exclusive on a different one people dont own people tend to feel as if the corporations are trying to force them to buy a system they don't own for one game since they know they aren't interested in the rest of that systems library. And some people cant afford to pay for a secord or third system. And this is why people get upset. Beside Most Xbox players doesn't care for JRPG. Proof is the fact rpgs and jrpgs for the most part dont sell well on the xbox. The audiance isnt there. There are a few outliers true. Skyrim, fable, fallout. But two of those have fps type game play not just rpg. The other is an action rpg. But traditional rpgs and jrpgs dont have a real audience on xbox. So they dont sell well. If they dont sell the series tends to die. That is why these are seen as on the wrong console.
@@riougenkaku6069 nah, man, things are changing, right now more people is looking at Xbox because Sony Is abandoning Japanese developers and that's why developers like Falcom and NISA are looking at other platforms.
I'm going to have to strongly disagree about infinite undiscovery enchantment arms Lost Odyssey Blue Dragon Tales of Vesperia Star Ocean Last Hope I think they were perfect for Xbox 360 still play these games on my Xbox series X
@@theichi4135 From the rumor I heard they try to add JRPG on their library in the future but back then they only have a few in their games library because their player didn't like JRPG that much
Reminds me that I had to buy the Japanese PS3 Version of Tales of Vesperia just to play it. Nowadays it doesn't matter do to the PS4/ Xbone/ Switch/ PC release. But I actually had great time to play it knowing not many people played the full version at the time
Same, but how did you get through it?! The Japanese began to slog me down and even crushed my enjoyment of the game. Thank heaven Bandai actually *listened to fans* and ported it to the right platforms and gave us Flynn and Patty!
@@Kaitou1412Fangirl I actually know to read Hiragana and Katakana, so I knew which the items are plus my past knowlage with the items in the franchise. And I somewhat understood the story after years of watching anime.
I think the irony here is that while the Xbox wasn't the right place for those games when they came out, they all work on backwards compatibility. I wasn't able to play them when released, but you bet I tracked all of them down the second I got an Xbox recently. Unfortunately can't say the same for my ps2 rpgs, as my old system recently broke. Also, the Last Story just hurts, I love that game but I'm never going to hook my Wii back up just to play it.
I'm so thankful that Ogre Battle 64 was released in the... Nintendo 64 (as the title proposes). It was the second console I had in my childhood, and no doubt the one I most intensely played during it's lifetime. So much will I had to play the great RPGs being released one after another to the PS1, but I couldn't, and that caused me some regret of having asked a N64 as birthday gift from my parents. This minor regret vanished after I found this incredible game, still my favorite RPG until this day. Not only because of nostalgia factor, but also because it's a flawless game. The best in the ogre series, great music, system, the best story I have ever lived in a game. Recommended to anyone who likes that game made to be a master piece.
@@ChrisStoneinator It really is how FF should have evolved. Better graphics, classic gameplay. I miss the times of FFX where you could get mindblowing graphics paired with appealing gameplay.
I totally bought a GameCube for tales of symphonia then baiten kaitos.... but origins never got a eur version. :( I'll buy a wii u for xenoblade chronicle x and last story, for sure
This ends up being a list of games that should be on Playstation when I think that there are oposite cases. Take Tales of Legendia and Abyss, following Symphonias break out to shaft all the GameCube tales fans with no more games was really dumb and its a no brainer why the PS2 tales games underpreformed.
So right console = Playstation, wrong console = everything else. Games actually developed by Sega, Nintendo and Microsoft should've definitely been released on Playstation, not Sega, Nintendo and Microsoft consoles, for sure... What kind of buffoonery is this? Also, if a console doesn't have the most JRPGs, it shouldn't have any? What kind of competition would that be? Basically nothing...
Because I owned a 360 and not a PS3 I was glad Lost Odyssey,Infinite Undiscovery came to the 360, otherwise I would never have got to play them. I feel the topic you mentioned is obviously geared to owners of PS consoles and not other platforms.
and most JRPGs don't even sell good on Playstation especially since the Ps3 era. You have to look very hard to find some JRPGs on Ps3, Ps4, Ps5 that ever sold about or even more than 1million copies
@@Chelaxim exactly. I love this channel but this video is the first that bugged me. Why put another JRPG on a system with a ton of them? It’s like opening ANOTHER BBQ joint in Alabama.
@@Dsims37 the dirty little secret about jrpg fans that many jrpg fans are just Sony ponies.I know Eric has consoles made by Sega Nintendo and Microsoft but many people do not.
The funny thing is, I DID buy the 360 specifically for Tales of Vesperia and Lost Odyssey and other multiplatform RPGs. I never got a single 360 western dudebro game.
I play jrpgs only on pc now so you are right. Gloriuos Pc Jrpg master race. Zweii 1 and 2, and Xanadu Next were released in the right platform as well all the jrpg ported to the pc. Playing Jrpg with a mouse and keyboard fells much better and natural than a controller.
Honestly i don't really think any of those games were released on wrong consoles most of them would have not sold that much more anyways, JRPGs basically are never huge blockbuster sellers and games like Lost Odyssey or Xenoblade Chronicles X had already good sales numbers.
Man console exclusives are a horrible concept. They are anti consumer and only serve to fill the pockets of corporations. So many great games get lost because of this practice. Emulating older games is basically a necessity at this point.
Skies of Arcadia was almost released on the PS2, but the port was cancelled considering SONY or SEGA had problems for some reason. At least SEGA tried to release Skies of Arcadia on the PS2 but somehow they got screwed.
Any JRPG, especially if it's turn based, it's in the wrong console if it is or was released for any of the Xboxs... Xboxes? You know what I mean. Action JRPG, maybe, but turn based, never.
Lost Odyssey is not exclusive to 360. It's on Xbox One and Series consoles via BC implementation. So is Infinite Undiscovery and Blue Dragon. Enchanted Arms is even available with BC.
@@carlosaugusto9821 I can respect your opinion that there should have also be a Play Station version of the games listed. However in some cases they were the first or only RPG that was released on other platforms. Lost Odyssey is a prime example of a great game that should not have been an exclusive, but to say it was the wrong console entirely seems inconsistent. It is possible that for some of the games listed, Sony did not believe it was a good fit for them. In other cases to stand out more a developer may have chosen other platforms to not have to compete with other RPG's that were already available on PS directly.
These games can be re-release again on the Google appstore and it will be a huge hit in no time. Nowadays phones are powerful enough to run ports of games from the 6th and 7th gen consoles yet the developers are not taking advantage of it yet to address market demand.
It probably would have been terrible on PS2. The Dreamcast was the perfect system for it. Just remember what happened when they ported Grandia 2 to PS2 I think it would have played just as bad on PS2
@@morriganrenfield8240 exactly but much like Grandia 2 there is no guarantee that porting it to the PS2 would have resulted in the game being the same quality especially considering the GameCube was a more powerful system
@@morriganrenfield8240 that is undeniably of course it I was speaking about the GameCube which was more powerful than PS2. And again being more powerful doesn't guarantee better ports ie. Grandia 2 and RE: Code Veronica which were both superior on the weaker Dreamcast
I personally would love to see a remaster or re-release of “The Last Story” on Switch or Steam or something with some serious adjustments to the battle system and some upgrades to the graphics. It’s a great game held back by crappy Wii controls.
Unrelated to rpg, Koei Tecmo will release Fatal Frame 5 on pc, and current gen consoles this year, this was unexpected, this game was exclusive to the Wii U.
Great list and I may have some bought consoles just to play certain games (Xenoblade X, don't regret it). All these games deserve a chance for a larger audience.

@Boom Aloom How they marketed their system? Are you talking about now? Because all they say is they are the best place to play game. They have a ton of SP games out and upcoming. So unless you are pretending this is 2005 or something I fail to see where your getting you info lol.
@Boom Aloom I'd argue that I need it based on the fact you haven't refuted anything I've said. The only reason Xbox was ever billed as the "MP console" is because XBL is far superior to PS and Nintendo online offering. It had no shortage of SP games lol. I mean Bioshock and Mass Effect were originally exclusives back in the day. Gears and Halo have strong SP components. Not to mention games like Lost Obyssey and Infinite Undiscovery from the times you are claiming. Thanks for confirming YOU have no factual basis to your argument though. Cheers.
@@Chelaxim Well a great JRPG that isnt played by most JRPG fans is a waste
Dude, there's absolutely no certainty these GC/N64/DC games would have been big successes on PS2. PS2 was also less powerful, so the games would have had to be changed up a lot.
Exactly all of those Gamecube JRPGs did well because a Gamecube JRPG was an event. A JRPG on the PS2 was just another Tuesday. I think the Japanese sales of Tales of Smyphonia on Gamecube compared to the PS2 proves that. Baten Kaitos sold better than a huge amount of PS2 JRPGs.
@@Chelaxim In Japan, or in the US?
I personally would blame the sales of more niche JRPGs on Final Fantasy and Kingdom Heart's success. Since FF's decline, more series(like Persona, Kiseki/Trails, Xenoblade, Tales of) have been seeing some recognition. GameCube didn't have that competition, but it also wasn't really a console a lot of RPG players owned. That's my theory, anyway.
@@Chelaxim None of that still works as an argument for exclusive jrpgs on non PS systems. Nothing can speak against the status of the PS as a good place for rpgs in the late 90s and early 00s, it was an earned reputation. So Baten Kaitos and other examples should have been ported. It's you who are turning the matter into a battle of exclusives and ridiculous console war in the end.
"I felt this game didn't work well on the 360 and that it would've wo0rked best on the PS3"
They're the same thing... That's like saying one dishwasher washes better than another equivalent dishwasher. Though there probably was a larger market for JRPG's on the PS3, the way they play would be completely unaffected by the console.
For me, the only wrong console is one that I don't own. On that basis, 13 sentinels is on the wrong console.
Sakaguchi had a beef with Ken Kutaragi and he hated him enough to not release his games on Playstation. He said Kutaragi screamed some hurtful words at him that he will remember till his death.
With that background, I think Mistwalker might be more willing to spread out in those directions…
What I do want is Spirits Within’s spiritual successor by Mistwalker but nit sure how that’s be
5:43 Yes Dreamcast in early 2000 was dead, but in Japan console still get a big releases like Sakura Wars 3 and 4. Skies of Arcadia propably did not get PS2 port, becouse SEGA in early 2000 proritizes Sakura Wars, and Overworks helped with PC/PS2 ports.
The only in Japan sign was great lol, I think we need one for criminally underrated as well.
At least Infinite Undiscovery and Lost Odyssey are backwards compatible. Hopefully this is allowing new audiences to discover these games.
It is! I only got my Xbox One S for the 4k bluray player, and then i discovered those games are backwards compatible. Now i can play them! =D
Problem: Nowadays nobody who wants to play JRPGs buys Xbox systems anymore. They tried with the 360, now it's just shooters galore.
reading your title, Ogre Battle 64 came to mind instantly
I got a n64 just for Ogre Battle 64. Still have them both.
Thanks to Backwards Compatibility and Game Pass, Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon have got a lot more attention in recent years.
During that gen I had both ps3 and 360 but I got the 360 simply for Mistwalker.
I have not owned a xbox in awhile. Is the backwards compatibility nice? Such as improving resolution etc. Would love to pull out my 360 RPGs again.
I would love if they put Lost Odyssey on PC. I played it when it came out loved it, but I haven't had an Xbox console since the 360 and that red ringed a long time ago. I've been wanting to replay Lost Odyssey for a few years now, but there's just no way for me to do it without buying new hardware.
Man, the decision to release a game on a console does not rest entirely on the software house. If the publisher wants the exclusive they pay the software house. That means that maybe gamers might miss a gem, but even if the game bombs they still made Money out of It thanks to the publisher.
7:10 This made me laugh more than I thought it would lol!
Tactics Ogre 64 was released 3 times in the wrong console. The other two being Wii and Wii U VCs.
There's no such thing as a "wrong console". Every game should be on every hardware that is powerful enough to run it.
That's wrong on at least 2 levels, especially prior to 8th gen.
@@Westile Did you miss the last 7 words of my comment?
@@aquapendulum
Yeah, like I said its wrong on a few levels.
Marketing, resource allocation, development process.
This whole list are games before eighth gen so the hardware you released on played a huge role in how your game turned out, same if its was a multiplat release, regardless of the hardware's "strength".
This whole concept of "everything SHOULD be fair and balanced" in game releases is a new talking point that is only made possible now thanks to software and hardware architecture becoming heavily standardized within the past 7 years.
Before that tho? Yeah your game could absolutely miss it's intended outcome based entirely on the hardware you released on.
Eric is spot on with his use of "Wrong Console" here.
@@Westile We are not developers. We are gamers. Marketing, resource allocation, development process are none of our concerns. The only "right consoles" that games should be on are the ones we own. If our benefits have to come at the cost to developers, so be it. Better than developers' benefits come at the cost of us.
@@aquapendulum
That was cringe AF and your statements are wrong regardless of whatever career you have.
Persona 4 Golden should be in this list. It took forever for it to come to a relevant platform.
So many Vita games ended up on PS4, but then so many didn't for whatever reason...
If Persona 4 Golden came to Ps4 around the Vita's release, it could have sold almost as decent as P5 Vanilla.
P4G should be a PS4/Xbox/PC game. There is no good reason for it not to be. I hope when they release P6, they do it multiplatform.
@@noght sorry but stop complaining that this game persona 4 isn't not release other console ps4/xbox. that it's already not bad that release on pc steam because i recall first persona 4 cost expensive nowaday in physical in my case it's impossible to play in game unreachable ,secondly this version steam isn't not any version it's version golden who exclusive on psvita. considered you lucky that it is available on pc (steam) and cheap !. yeah i know that the only problem with steam it's most game are full crap drm rather worst fucking denuvo (the worst drm ever) in the case persona 4 golden i played and trust me isn't not it is not unplayable. It allowed me to play that until now was unreachable.
Well and not it is being ported to everything. Finally!
The Last Story is an amazing game
That "Only in Japan" sign was hilarious. Keep up the good work.
I mean, he has said it so much it's pretty much his catchphrase.
I would love to see a modern release of lost Odyssey and Blue dragon. I love those games when I play them on a 360
They are available through back-compate on all Xbox systems (Xbox One, S, X, and Series X|S). On One X and SeriesX|S it has 4k upscaling and auto HDR on SeriesX|S
@@gamingwithritz632 I'm so out of touch, I don't even know what S, x, Series X whatever is supposed to. What is which gen? No idea, don't care. Gimme the games on Switch or PS4/5 please. Thanks.
I never would've played Baten Kaitos if it was Playstation, as I only had GameCube. Turned out to be one of my all time favorite rpgs
But a port wouldnt have hurt. This is not about releasing here instead of there. This isnt the situation sometimes. Tales of Symphonia released first on the GC and then was ported to the PS2.
The trio Pandora's Tower/Xenoblade/The Last Story were such gems. I'm happy m'y parents agreed to buy them.
now we just need Nintendo to get Switch remasters of the remaining 2 made...I'd happily buy 2nd copies of Pandora's Tower and Last Story for the portability, reworked controls and various QOL improvements they'd get. Assuming they got the same love Xenoblade did that is...
@@newageBoundhippie soooo much!
Mmm I think you forgot that the PS3 was a disaster at launch what made some of these deals posible .
Tbh there is no such thing as the wrong console.
Sounds like a bad take.
Might as well call this video "I don't think anything can fail on PlayStation!"
The whole video just reeks of PlayStation fanboyism. Even games funded by Nintendo and Microsoft like The Last Story and Lost Odyssey made the list! Yeah, they totally should have released those games on PlayStation!!
Yeah... I kinda had this thought too, oh well.
I agree, this guy is like all PS fanboys.
I agree with about every game on this list, *especially* Lost Odyssey. However, in all honesty, Lost Odyssey wouldn't have happened if not for Micro$oft, as they are the ones that funded the game.
Methinks it would've had a MUCH better home if Sony had funded it, but, like you said about another game in this list, M$ was trying to win over some of the Japanese audience with some JRPGs. (L.O. was the main reason I got a 360).
13 sentinels aegis rim should be on this list, and should have been released for the switch.
First: PS4 is a good home for a game like this.
Second: Your wish has been granted anyway :D
Has this dude ever released a video of him playing that fender strat like guitar back there?
He has another channel IIRC. He might be thrashing over there.
Actually thinking about it, putting skies of arcadia on the gamecube was a smart idea that sadly didn't go well.
It was around the time that Sega and Nintendo started working together also Sonic Adventure,2 Battle, Advance trillogy and Heroes were way more popular than the original Dreamcast version. So sega thought they might make lighting strike again for an rpg this time so they put out skies of arcadia legends. I'm pretty sure there were some kids who not only got introduced to sonic games on the GC but also skies of arcadia along with Tales of, Paper Mario, Fire emblem. So... I think sega did a good job. Just didn't get lucky.
I get it, but by this logic, FF7 should had been made on the N64
Infinite Undiscovery, Lost Odyssey, and Last Remnant are the reasons I bought a 360.
Same and the fact that all x360 can go up to 1080p unlike ps3
@@Irsyad711 And as a nice bonus: In Europe the mutliplatform RPGs like Star Ocean and so on were way cheaper to buy used. Heck, even now most 360 RPGs are cheap, because nobody wanted them :(
The Last Story is a Nintendo IP so its not coming anything but Nintendo.
At least do some research
XSEED only published in America because Nintendo of America told them to.
Was always kind of sad they didn't release the last story on any other console, I really liked the vagrant story reminiscent art direction and wanted to play it
Downvoted for giving incorrect information. Both Infinite Undiscovery and Lost Odyssey (just like Blue Dragon) are backwards compatible and playable on the Xbox Series X with better performance and graphics. You mean "the right console" is an aging piece of hardware and that is sure to fail and with no way to play the games anywhere else and with Sony attempting to shutdown PSN for it? Sony doesn't give a f*** about backwards compatibility and any game for it will be forever lost. Virtually any platform is better than Playstation. "The right console" my ***. Good luck with your PS3 and when it breaks pray that the used one you buy as a replacement lasts longer than yours did, otherwise all those RPGs will be forever gone.
Yeah, this video is just full of sony fanboy bullshit.
Yep. Xbox players get a few decent RPGs and Sony ponys cry about it even after a decade.
It's sold better if third party consoles exclusives was port to the right console.
If Xbox's big type games went exclusive for one game on another system the xbox players would be just as annoyed. Xbox isn't known for rpg's let alone jrpgs. Xbox is mostly fps, fighting games, sports games, and racing. True they have a bunch of other game types but these are majority that xbox focuses on and caters to. Which is perfectly ok. Sony has their list also while nintendo focuses hard on games for children and family party games. The issue is when you take a brand normally focused on one console and make an exclusive on a different one people dont own people tend to feel as if the corporations are trying to force them to buy a system they don't own for one game since they know they aren't interested in the rest of that systems library. And some people cant afford to pay for a secord or third system. And this is why people get upset. Beside Most Xbox players doesn't care for JRPG. Proof is the fact rpgs and jrpgs for the most part dont sell well on the xbox. The audiance isnt there. There are a few outliers true. Skyrim, fable, fallout. But two of those have fps type game play not just rpg. The other is an action rpg. But traditional rpgs and jrpgs dont have a real audience on xbox. So they dont sell well. If they dont sell the series tends to die. That is why these are seen as on the wrong console.
@@riougenkaku6069 nah, man, things are changing, right now more people is looking at Xbox because Sony Is abandoning Japanese developers and that's why developers like Falcom and NISA are looking at other platforms.
Great video!
I'm going to have to strongly disagree about infinite undiscovery enchantment arms Lost Odyssey Blue Dragon Tales of Vesperia Star Ocean Last Hope I think they were perfect for Xbox 360 still play these games on my Xbox series X
Yes they are :)
The PS3 didnt start that great aswel something that made it posible for Microsoft to make those deals.
The 360 was beating the PS3 in sales when those games came out.
Too bad Lost Odyssey never got a sequel. That game was the true Final Fantasy XIII.
And probably never will, Xbox don't care for J-RPG's.

From the rumor I heard they try to add JRPG on their library in the future but back then they only have a few in their games library because their player didn't like JRPG that much
Reminds me that I had to buy the Japanese PS3 Version of Tales of Vesperia just to play it. Nowadays it doesn't matter do to the PS4/ Xbone/ Switch/ PC release. But I actually had great time to play it knowing not many people played the full version at the time
Same, but how did you get through it?! The Japanese began to slog me down and even crushed my enjoyment of the game. Thank heaven Bandai actually *listened to fans* and ported it to the right platforms and gave us Flynn and Patty!
@@Kaitou1412Fangirl I actually know to read Hiragana and Katakana, so I knew which the items are plus my past knowlage with the items in the franchise. And I somewhat understood the story after years of watching anime.
Tenerezza on the original xbox comes to mind
I think the irony here is that while the Xbox wasn't the right place for those games when they came out, they all work on backwards compatibility. I wasn't able to play them when released, but you bet I tracked all of them down the second I got an Xbox recently. Unfortunately can't say the same for my ps2 rpgs, as my old system recently broke. Also, the Last Story just hurts, I love that game but I'm never going to hook my Wii back up just to play it.
I got a CIB copy of lost odyssey for $5 a few months ago so its a great and affordable game with backwards compatibility.
That shot of you at 7:10 is priceless!
Seems like somebody's salty for not having certain games released on a Sony platform, eh
I'm so thankful that Ogre Battle 64 was released in the... Nintendo 64 (as the title proposes). It was the second console I had in my childhood, and no doubt the one I most intensely played during it's lifetime. So much will I had to play the great RPGs being released one after another to the PS1, but I couldn't, and that caused me some regret of having asked a N64 as birthday gift from my parents. This minor regret vanished after I found this incredible game, still my favorite RPG until this day. Not only because of nostalgia factor, but also because it's a flawless game. The best in the ogre series, great music, system, the best story I have ever lived in a game. Recommended to anyone who likes that game made to be a master piece.
Also available on the Wii U's Virtual Console.
Ok but it shouldnt have been an exclusive
I'm glad Lost Odyssey was on Xbox cause I can play it on my Series X now. If it had been on PS3 we'd never see it backwards compatible. 🤷♂️
Lost Odyssey was FFXIII in my mind at the time. I loved that game
It still is FFXIII change my view
@@ChrisStoneinator It really is how FF should have evolved. Better graphics, classic gameplay. I miss the times of FFX where you could get mindblowing graphics paired with appealing gameplay.

"10 Great RPGs Not Released On Playstation"
This ends up being a list of games that should be on Playstation when I think that there are oposite cases. Take Tales of Legendia and Abyss, following Symphonias break out to shaft all the GameCube tales fans with no more games was really dumb and its a no brainer why the PS2 tales games underpreformed.
So right console = Playstation, wrong console = everything else. Games actually developed by Sega, Nintendo and Microsoft should've definitely been released on Playstation, not Sega, Nintendo and Microsoft consoles, for sure...
What kind of buffoonery is this?
Also, if a console doesn't have the most JRPGs, it shouldn't have any? What kind of competition would that be? Basically nothing...
Because I owned a 360 and not a PS3 I was glad Lost Odyssey,Infinite Undiscovery came to the 360, otherwise I would never have got to play them. I feel the topic you mentioned is obviously geared to owners of PS consoles and not other platforms.

I’m glad Lost Odyssey was released on the 360, or I never would have played it.

And never forget pc
I know right.
Erick is like the Gamecube barely had any JRPGs so the ones that they do have shouldn't.

As a PC gamer.
Every console is the wrong console.
Agreed, this video was painful to watch.
Yep
I play jrpgs only on pc now so you are right. Gloriuos Pc Jrpg master race. Zweii 1 and 2, and Xanadu Next were released in the right platform as well all the jrpg ported to the pc. Playing Jrpg with a mouse and keyboard fells much better and natural than a controller.
ONLY IN JAPAN 😁
Honestly i don't really think any of those games were released on wrong consoles most of them would have not sold that much more anyways, JRPGs basically are never huge blockbuster sellers and games like Lost Odyssey or Xenoblade Chronicles X had already good sales numbers.
Man console exclusives are a horrible concept. They are anti consumer and only serve to fill the pockets of corporations. So many great games get lost because of this practice. Emulating older games is basically a necessity at this point.
the only games that should be exclusive are 1st party owned games. PERIOD.
I still believe Rogue Galaxy should have been released as a PS3 launch title instead of on the PS2 at the ass-end of its life-cycle
It's funny how some games did go from ps2 to ps3 yet that one didn't.
@@bustergundo516 Yeah. I think its cell shaded art style looks good enough to pass for an early PS3 game too.
Skies of Arcadia was almost released on the PS2, but the port was cancelled considering SONY or SEGA had problems for some reason.
At least SEGA tried to release Skies of Arcadia on the PS2 but somehow they got screwed.
The only jrpg on the wrong consoles are the portable titles. Especially if it's a direct sequel to a game on a home console. Except maybe pokemon.
But a lot of the time those games sell much better than their console counterparts. Look at Fire Emblem and Megami Tensei.
Ogre Battle would have been great on the original Playstation.
Any JRPG, especially if it's turn based, it's in the wrong console if it is or was released for any of the Xboxs... Xboxes? You know what I mean.
Action JRPG, maybe, but turn based, never.
Lost Odyssey is not exclusive to 360. It's on Xbox One and Series consoles via BC implementation. So is Infinite Undiscovery and Blue Dragon. Enchanted Arms is even available with BC.
You’re a national treasure Erik, glad to see you’re doing well down in Mexico! We’d def be friends if you were close to me here in Canada! 😁👍🏻
So... all RPG'S should be released either exclusively on the Play Station or ported to it?
Not exactly exclusive. That isnt the point. But they must be on a PS platform.
@@carlosaugusto9821 I can respect your opinion that there should have also be a Play Station version of the games listed. However in some cases they were the first or only RPG that was released on other platforms. Lost Odyssey is a prime example of a great game that should not have been an exclusive, but to say it was the wrong console entirely seems inconsistent. It is possible that for some of the games listed, Sony did not believe it was a good fit for them. In other cases to stand out more a developer may have chosen other platforms to not have to compete with other RPG's that were already available on PS directly.
These games can be re-release again on the Google appstore and it will be a huge hit in no time. Nowadays phones are powerful enough to run ports of games from the 6th and 7th gen consoles yet the developers are not taking advantage of it yet to address market demand.
I still remember my great times with Baten Kaitos Origins. Such a nice game.

Unrelated to rpg, Koei Tecmo will release Fatal Frame 5 on pc, and current gen consoles this year, this was unexpected, this game was exclusive to the Wii U.
and Nintendo still co-owns the IP as well....it's a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
The topic is good, but the video should be called: "Top ten rpgs i wish were released on playstation"
I'm guessing it's not called that because it would age poorly due to Sony's current stance towards anything Japanese.
Great list and I may have some bought consoles just to play certain games (Xenoblade X, don't regret it). All these games deserve a chance for a larger audience.
