That's why soundtracks are so important. I don't mind grinding if I enjoy the battle/overworld music. Flip that grind straight into a tail-slide!
ih that regard Chrono Cross is awful. the battle music is repetitive as hell. the worst thing in the best game :(
So true
Yep the reason why I finished a lot of SMT games was because of the good soundtrack.
@@Night_Raptor_5991 digital devil saga has an awesome soundtrack. A good battle soundtrack can go a long way.
Radient Historia is one of my ultimate favourite video games. That is partly because the backtracking is smooth instead of grinding for hours to get to that point again.
My go to example of this would be Chrono Trigger. Nice pace, not too complex a fighting system, etc etc
Still has one of the best combat and magic systems to date. Truly a game of all time.
@luvlybaluga easily replayable. Beat it probably 10-15 times
Star Ocean 2 remaster/remake is very very good to your time. many quality of life features that could be in every rpg ever to make them all better games!
I looooooooooooved Star ocean 2 back in the day. The remake definitely helps with QoL but it did also kinda make me realize that I'm quite happy with how good at story-telling and presentation rpgs are nowadays.
Gotta admit, for the exception of the late game dungeons in the original. The OG also respects your time fairly well.
8:26 An 'Ys'y way, you say?
My nom would be Front Mission 4. 30 hours max even if you grind on the optional training missions, best of the series so far. If anything it felt like it was resolved a bit too fast considering you're commanding two separate teams of Wanzer pilots. That's only 15 story missions per campaign. Would've liked a final one where you can control both teams.
suikoden 2 was the masterpiece of its time, and was so underrated.
I can't wait for the remake to come out,
when you have a sequel video, it would be nice to have the link to the original in the description. thanks for the list!
Great video.
What is the song at 0:00 from?
Thanks for the video! Is Tales of Symphonia for the Switch fixed/patched now?
Very nice list dude, thank u
I never found Tales of Graces being complicated. Maybe it's just you.
Graces is my fav tales game 😍
@@svenbernhagen6320 it's the first game I ever bought for my PS3 12 years ago. I actually bought the game before the actual console.
Graces has a lot of back and forth movement and tends to drag. At least it did for me.
Thank you for this video - a totally underrated topic, especially, if you have a regular job and a family. That is, if game development counts as a regular job in the first place...
The issue with Nier Replicanct that it kind of doesn't respect your time on doing side quests; the rewards almost always suck to the point there is no point of doing them.
And the grind to fully upgrade all weapons is insane, too.
@@KeiBrightwing fully upgrading the weapons are optional, you just have to own them to get the other endings
Believe me if you want to have platinum on nier replicant you will haaaaate your life yes you need 20 hours to finish the game but you will need another 60 hours to platinum it
Ohhh and I don’t know if you missed this game or you never played it but hyxze force is an amazing game it a psp exclusive
Best exploration in video games. Not just jrpgs but video games. I want to see how jrpgs stack up against other genres in this regard
The only thing I've ever had to grind for in Radiant Historia was money, felt like a broke bitch the entire game lol
Steal from every boss. Every boss has amazing equipable items. I honestly didn't have to buy armor or weapons as long as I kept stealing from the bosses. Definitely made the game easier
Good topic, thanks man
SH:Covenant is one of my favorite games of all time
my mistake was playing it directly after the first game, and was burnt out not an hour into the game, been 2 years i should revisit... but my backlog keeps growing hahaha
Nice to see tales of symphonia on this list. It was my first tales game. Really wanted to play the second but it seems it will forever be stuck on the wii.
I have Shadow Hearts 2 sitting in my collection for years and really want to play it but unfortunately I still haven't found the best way to do so. On the PS2 it's too blurry and dark and I can't record it either.
Funny, how I play Nier Replicant right now. Does it respect the time? Honestly, too much running back and forth for my taste AND I could have refrained from fighting Louise three times. The third time was too my crying on my end.
You should try the ps2 emulator on PC. If you have the disc you can just make a back-up and play that with some enhancement but without remastered there's limits to making ps2 games look better due to how they were made (480i)
I play Brave Dungeon and Kemco games.
For Brave Dungeon I find it avoiding all things that would be annoying. It has not much of a story, barely any npcs, no random encounter but the kind of monsters you fight are random, difficulty settings that can be changed any time even in dungeons and the pay off is balanced with each setting, the first 4 dungeons are optional, etc.
What I like the most about it is that when returning back to town the game automatically restores your party's health AND replenishes all your items back to the highest amount you had before entering the dungeon. And it's all for free.
what about infinite wealth?!
It’s a 120 hour game. How does that respect your time?
Thanks for the list! Because of work, wife and kids. Also other obligations. I usually only get an hour or two of late gaming in each day. Currently trying to take on the Xenoblade series slowly.
Great list!
Ys Seven would be even better if they cut up part of the backtracking on the second half, still great game tho
GranBlue Fantasy Relink on PC is awesome!
God eater fan here and so happy to see it here
Ys 7 Still need more recognition; was my first ys game
Going to havento check this out
I hope paper Mario ttyd remaster does the same thing as Mario rpg and adds a post game hard boss mode. It would be epic.
Shining refrain resonance I feel didn't waste my time as I was grinding thinking it mattered. You only need a certain level and you can blitz the game. Only issue is the one mission the guys need to fight. That was bad gameplay design.
Isn't Bonetail hard enough?
@@sdtrawick you think bonetail is hard? Some people beat that in the prologue.
Also Hard doesn't mean big numbers or damage. It's also how to play the puzzle. Bug fable and the post game of Mario rpg do this well with playing the system more like a puzzle than unga bunga. Aside the final boss in rpg that was easy
@@sdtrawickGetting to Bonetail is harder than beating him. We want a bonus boss who is difficult all on his own even if you're an expert player. Maybe have Super Luigi as a 'second quest' too.
@@WhiteFangofWar I wouldn't get your hopes up. This is a simple remaster, not a full remake like Mario RPG.
Wish tales of heart R could be given to main consoles.
Arise isn't long it just drags as the story isn't good.
Graces the combo system is what makes it the best. And on repeat play it expects you to be able to speed run it which I did while also doing all the missions and sub quests.
Xillia 2 sucks with the debt system as it directly hampers your gameplay same as the missions.
Symphonia I feel takes forever. Don't understand how it's people's favorite guess it's just like bersteria and the only game people played in tales
i think tales of eternia could fit the best game to starters on tales series. it's cute, the music is great, the characters are great (at least Meredy is wonderfully great!) and battle system is good too, and the pacing is very good at least for me
@@ElsweyrDiego well I find xillia the best in terms of balance. The grade system doesn't exist so the achievements are permeant letting repeat play be easier.
Same with the cast all being very balanced for their skills letting people know how to use each of them as Jude and co all have stand out designs on top of defining skills in combat that was made very well.
Best for gameplay is graces if you want to just play a game and it can be beaten quickly just playing it forward without grinding as the game doesn't expect you to grind much.
Next is 10 jrpgs that disrespects your time 😁
When you said long ass hell games while showing p5r I felt that 🤣
I'm currently at 135hrs but it feels like I spent longer, I'm at Mementos bottom now which is somewhat near the end so I'm checking what I can play next after finishing it.
P3 Reload is waiting for you, though it's only 90h if you do everything
What stops me of Playing Persona 5 is this, I don't want to spend more than 100 hundred hours in a game, I only do It when I know I will really like it
Radiant Historia is insanely good, hopefully Perfect Chronology leaves the 3DS and gets to modern consoles so that more people can play it.
Can you do a video about action jrpgs with good English voice acting?
Tales of Symphonia ❤
Have all these games except Nier. Idk why I can’t get into Nier series. Just gotta admit. It’s not for me. It goes against my soul.
the stories for Nier are exceptionally well done. It tells the story from different perspectives, but also doesn't follow the traditional way of storytelling.
Because it's boring and overrated, the music will put you to sleep and the game is easy, like toddler easy.
The only good thing about nier automata is 2B's R34 that's some good stuff 😂. You really think the game would be as popular if it was some random guy, nope.
😮 automata wasn't bad AT ALL!
Nier has always been an incredibly niche game made for an incredibly niche audience. The original game has a cult fanbase that loved it for all its story and tiny unique intricacies. Replicabt 2.0 doesn't really include anything that would make it more appealing than the original besides the combat, and is more a remake for the preexisting fans😅. You're definitely a part of the norm when you say you can't get into it.
I love Shadow Hearts 2... but no game that has random encounters and then puts the reduced encounter item at nearly the end of endgame respects your time.
Earthbound was 1994. Lufia 2 was 1995. No excuse in 2004.
And again, the game even has a crude mitigation... it just won't let you access it until the game is basically over.
You can definitely finish BoF4 quickly. I rushed the game and cheesed the last boss by constantly swapping out team mates since i got to him in the mid 30s
God eater 3 did not respect my time AT ALL the first hour. I tossed it. Tutorials to the max!
Nice
I LOVED Nier. But I have to disagree with the respecting your time part. About 3 playthroughs of the second half to see all the endings - added scenes help of course.) A LOT of sidequests which, while built into the feel of the story are still numerous and at times tedius, and you have to collect EVERY WEAPON to get the final ending. Plus play through the first half then AGAIN for something special. It's a lot. It's a lot of GREAT, but still a lot.
I can't wait rhe release of the true game that respects your time.Tales of Erick Landon RPG
Nier Replicant was fun to 100% on my Series X
I didn't get into God Eater 2, but maybe I'd like GE3 more? It looks like it might be a better game.
It is a much better game but it is iterative and more of the same, I enjoyed all of the new monsters and weapons but being honest I don't think it may change your mind if you didn't like 2.
Hearts R is fun but the localization was god awful. Some characters names were changed for no reason and a lot of the dialogue doesn't match what the characters really said.
BOF 4 is amazing
Nier Replicant? Great game, love it. But grinding out those weapon materials necessary for the later endings (and in a Yoko Taro game, that's necessary to get the full story) and repeating the last 3rd of the game 3 times is NOT what I'd call respecting my time. Oh and it had the same fetch questing that Automata had. Then there's farming for some materials... literal farming on an 18-24 hour real time clock that if it wasn't for system time manipulating, would be a time waste beyond all time wastes. Nier Replicant should be near the top of a list of games that do not respect your time.
Bof IV Gold!
What is the girl from the thumbnail's game? The one on the left with green gloves 🧐
Great video but I disagree with Tales of Graces F combat being complicated, it's one of the least complicated combat system in the whole series... the thing with the game it's that it is challenging; probably the hardest and most skill based tales game.
battle transition screens that last a touch too long are why I can't replay most ps1 jrpgs xD
FF9 took 15 seconds to start a battle.
Short JRPG time
My wife already disrespects me so why should my jrpgs be any different 😢
I don't want JRPGs to respect my time, I want then to respect my wallet by giving me enough content to warrant a purchase
Persona definitely don’t care about your time at all
The exact opposite of these, but still a great game: Another Eden. Which is surprising, since it's a mobile game
I started tales of hearts R and played for maybe 5+ hours
And stopped because the game didn't have an English dub
Too much reading for all that dialog with Japanese dub
I like to at least listen to the conversations and do something else irl
But ill go back to it one day
What games are the girls on the thumbnail from?
students rise up
The SNES Mario RPG does respect your time and no, grinding isn't needed unless you want the game to be 50% more easier than it already is.
I grind my teeth playing through octopath travel 1 to beat it and with some cheat during true final boss. I never good with this game equipment and jobs system. I hate this game. the most annoying part through out the whole game is the random encounter. I couldn't withstand that in 2nd game so I dropped after 30 mins of gameplay.
Suikoden 2 😊😊😊😊
Nier Replicant? Is that a joke? It has the most infuriating sidequests ever.
100% completion of octopath traveler 2 takes over 100 hours, not exactly a good example of JRPGs that "respect your time", even though that's not a very high priority on my list, grinding is a Part of RPG game design, always has been and hopefully always will be
I'm sorry but God Eater 3 definitely disrespected my time. Those extra long loading times after EVERY SINGLE THING made me quit (ragequit)
And it's not even a JRPG. It's a hunter game.
any good hentai games that respect a players time? asking for a friend..
gimme 10 rpgs that disrespect my time. Spit in my face with a 100+ hour game that isn't bloat.
No and nowhere does Nier Replicant respect your time, I would say it is actually one of the few games, THAT DAMN HATES YOUR TIME.
Do a top ten female bosses
lol but why
@@randalthor6872 they seem easily ingnored That's why.
@@tyfp3854 oh I thought you were one of those crazy people that care about gender to an extreme degree lol my bad
@@randalthor6872 .........
Sao alicization lycoris endgame... that's wasting time Fighting the same boss near 1000 times to get 1 ultimate weapon from there are 8 yudabest is the go to youtuber for sao content and He has over 5000 h playtime on that one game to finished all content and get all the beSt weapons
Trails in the sky is very long but every hour is fucking worth it.
you forgot about Persona 5 Royal, shortest game ever (?
If you want games that "respect your time" then maybe RPGs just aren't for you, go play a shooter or sports game
Tales of Hearts R - BLEH. I hate this game. Such annoying and battle system was a joke (terrible animations too).
Lol.
If you have to say jrpgs that respect your time... Ur already condemning the genre
Everything is relative
Realtive to normal games.. and not games that have to add a j at the end
It's a waste
Indeed, slice of life is useless crap that just wastes your time. like any persona game.
just useless waste of time teenage crap
fuck cold steel and this endless filler blablablablabla. horrible game
LOL....joke list.
🤣🤣🤣 you sound like a guy who plays on easy
