    Star Ocean The Divine Force is a fantastic game because you can explore in 3D with your Duma ball.

      I loved Star ocean the divine force, can’t wait for the second story remake!! And I loved xenoblade chronicles 3 and arise too. I actually liked arise quite a bit they were all good, great video hellfire! Also there’s gonna be dq monsters. And ONE day, dq12, and if dq12 is going to be even close to as good as dq11 then it’s going to be amazing !

      I'll admit, I like the Duma mechanics but part of me kinda wished a legit flight or jetpack mechanic was included, for sake of 360 mobility in air, rather than straight shot. But it grew on me over time. Wonderful game 😎👍

      Man, I could not get into that game. The washed out saturation to the visuals, the terrible dialogue and voice acting, the story… I kept wanting to like it, but had to call it after about 15 hours. I’m glad you liked it though, and I respect your opinion. What, beside DUMA, made it good for you?

    Awesome list, Its only been a few years and we have had alot of great JRPGs this decade.
    1. FF VII Remake
    2. Xenoblade 3
    3. Cold Steel 4
    4. Chained Echoes
    5. Tales of Arise
    Honorable mentions: Triangle Strategy.

    • @HellFireRPGs
      @HellFireRPGs  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Both really good games, but Cold Steel 4 was the one for me. Zero/Azure were also awesome, but I haven't played the official releases yet.

  • @realtayo42
    @realtayo42 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    We're absolutely in a JRPG renaissance. Great list!
    For me, I'm super torn between Cold Steel 4 and Xenoblade Chronicles 3. CS4 is Trails which is my favorite series by a long shot, and I spend well over 200 hours on my first playthrough doing literally everything possible, but Xenoblade 3 was one of the greatest gaming experiences I've ever had.

    @mrp1234 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    my take! I actually just did this not too long ago:
    10. Eiyuden Chronicle Rising
    9. Pokemon Scarlet/Violet
    8. Scarlet Nexus
    7. Fire Emblem Engage
    6. Fire Emblem: Three Hopes
    5. Monster Hunter Stories 2
    4. Atelier Ryza 2
    3. Tales of Arise
    2. Triangle Strategy
    1. Xenoblade 3
    Ys IX came out September 2019 in Japan, otherwise I'd put it at #4. And I did not count Chained Echoes, otherwise it would be #3.

    13 Sentinels is more of a visual novel with a strategy mini game rather than a JRPG, its been a few years now but typically JRPGs are more gameplay and combat oriented with leveling and skill trees and attribute increases

  • @theoaremevano3227
    @theoaremevano3227 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'd have trouble naming 10 because they've all been coming out too quickly while I've been trying to cut back on gaming time a bit. Tales of Arise, Scarlet Nexus, Star Ocean 6 and Elden Ring all came out within a couple of years, and yet I've also tossed in Ys 9 into my backlog pile. Haven't even gotten around to Elden Ring yet. Guess it's a good kind of overwhelming in some ways. XD

    • @HellFireRPGs
