If you liked Fire Emblem 3 houses, check out Lost Eidolon's, its not bad at all for an indie game (it looks like Fire Emblem with Dragon Age realistic style graphics) and it has almost the whole voice cast of three houses on it, and other coming out as I posted elsewhere here, is "Redemption reapers" which looks amazing. Turn based games are FAR from dead. Its just that certain developers are trying to kill it, like Squaresoft. Dumb move on their part, as Persona 5, Octopath Traveler, Yakuza, and other recent popular games clearly show, while Final Fantasies stocks dropped 11 points. Action and turn based are TWO different genres, each with their own fans, who often dont like the other. Some just dont seem to understand this though.
More and more Preorders for the Suikoden 1&2 Collection are currently going live, so I think that it's pretty safe to assume that the game is getting a physical release.
So looking forward to Trails To Azure and Reverie later on! Also keen on seeing how Fire Emblem turns out. Engage has me worried more than any F.E ever has.
Same on all accounts. The art style for the new Fire Emblem looks better than Three Houses, but the design for the main character is rather suspect. The summoning of past heroes makes it sound like a Gacha game which is so far removed from the series roots that it's hard to fathom how Fire Emblem has evolved to this point. I'm never a day one buyer as my backlog is huge and I'm cheap too, so I wait until a game is on sale months down the road for 50% off and the game breaking bugs have been patched. This one will be no different, but it will be interesting to see what others think of it.
I was hoping to see Eiyuden Chronicles at number 1 and you did not disappoint. I'm so excited for its release that I got goosebumps watching your clip of it.
@@denyk142 Zero is necessary and more than fine, Azure is excellent. The "Chibi" Design like your call it is more because of the gameplay (it's almost half tactical RPG) and because of the consoles limits.
I'm excited for YS 10. Best Action RPG. Hands Down. Only combat better than it might be Punishing Gray Raven ... or Wuthering Waves... Hey man, Blue Protocol is releasing 2023... i know its an mmo... its still a jrpg. happy holidays man!!
Eh even on sale it's way too expensive for a digital game IMO. If there was a physical version i would have bought it a long time ago but there's no way i'm paying more than 30€ (on sale) for a digital game. 20€ is my ceiling when it comes to digital games.
@@bladeofmird it's a full fledged game that only got a digital release cause the developers have self-published it, and they don't have the marketing budget of some AAA publisher for a physical version it's easier for them to get their games out that way IMO, especially after pretty much ALL of their original games weren't financial darlings despite being very talented
@@bladeofmird the game it's great for what I'm seeing on the demo. And as what someone said, there's no physical version, and the sale on the eShop puts the game around 26 $, so if you're upset about the price you can check it now.
I am surprised there is no FF16 on the list. I know the Final Fantasy franchise has been losing its way for many years but it seems the new producer Yoshi-P is very reliable according to the fans.
I am looking forward to Eiyuden Chronicles, Suikoden, Trails, and Atelier Ryza 3. If Armored Core 3 comes out this year, I'm dropping all my other games.
Granblue Fantasy is not mobile game exclusive to Japan. It has official English version for the rest of the world and you can play it with a browser like a Chrome. What I don't like about Suikoden series is that if you won't (and it's hard to achieve during 1 playthrough) recruit all heroes you won't get great ending. They basically force you to use a solution and guides which destroy the pleasure of playing it.
Looking foward to -Granblue Fantasy: Relink -Final Fantasy XVI -Final Fantasy VII Rebirth -Persona 3 Portable -Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty -The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure -The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie -Like a Dragon: Ishin -Stellar Blade -Forspoken
Couldn’t agree more about engage not looking like fire emblem and way too fanservicy, I guess it’s because it was meant to be an anniversary spin-off but it still has me skeptical as a fan of the more traditional games
Eyuuden chronicles got a function test on switch during the summer, I’m pretty sure I read it in their monthly Kickstarter updates. So I’m pretty sure it’ll come to switch.
I was hoping FE would continue with the tone and storytelling of Three Houses, but oh well, Engage looks more gameplay-focused anyway. Also looking forward to Trails to Azure, after just getting Trails From Zero for Christmas. I have a lot of catching up to do with Trails and Ys...
I am excited for Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes as well. With that and the remasters for Gensou Suikodens I and II, we Gensou Suikoden fans will be eating well in 2023.
I just hope Octopath Travelers II has more party interactions than the original. Its sad that you only have kinda generic scenes available at bars and a few during specific chapters but no party interactions during fights or character actions.
I'm sure I heard somewhere that Fire Emblem Engage was originally going to be an Anniversary title, probably why there are heroes from most of the older games.
Oh gosh! I’m so excited about Fuga 2 and the Suikoden 1 & 2 Remaster! I didn’t know about them until this video. Thank you so much for the excellent news!!
I remember reading they were only hired to do the combat gameplay and when they were done with that it was left to Cygames to finish it. That was between a year and 2 year's ago so not sure if that remained true. The gameplay shown so far looks pretty good for an action rpg.
Hey Eric, their is a SRPG coming out on several consoles that is releasing soon (Jan or Feb) called "Redemption reapers" that looks like what fire emblem would be if it took a darker direction. Check it out.
Trails has made the jump in the west, there was no series that benefited more from the pandemic lockdowns than trails did. The incredibly long game scripts, the endless amounts of reading, suddenly that barrier became much smaller when everyone was in lockdown with nothing to do. I think a remaster of the sky trilogy is inevitable, the fact that Sky is the only set of trails games not available on all modern consoles is a drag that I expect will be remedied in the next few years. The economic case for a remaster of sky and a release on all modern consoles has never been higher.
@@omensoffate I hope i'm wrong but i have a feeling that a lot of you guys (including Erick) don't want to say you're interested in games like FF because they are too mainstream and you would loose points for your reputation as "sophisticated" JRPG gamers.
Definitely looking forward to the trails game since the crossbell arc is the only one i missed coupled with the physical release of eiyuden and so as fuga
the games i wait for are in development, they are Armed Fantasia (Wild Arms successor) and Penny Blood (Shadow Hearts successor), hopefully both games will survive and get to a release point
I played the first one earlier this year, and it is really, really good. Highly recommend it. If you're curious, play the first one, it's available right now and could use some love.
Suikoden 2 is my first JRPG, played it in PS1. So now, I really cant wait for the remaster and Eiyuden. I’m also a big fan of Octopath Traveler, the only game I 100% a game.
Fire Emblem is my favorite series of all time but Engage genuinely hurts me to think about. I was always hyped for each new entry and have at least a thousand hours in my top 3, Three Houses, Conquest, and Blazing Sword. I just can't seem to get over the characters looking closer to Mirage Sessions that even Awakening.
Suikoden 1 and 2 was already ported on PSP as simply Gensou Suikoden 1 & 2.....widescreen was implemented and 8 way direction control was introduced on that port.. but still in japanese SIGH...that is the one ive been waiting for so long very very long...i hope someday it gets an english patch as for me that is the version i really wanted most...to be with the same line with the PSX RPG's ported to PSP like Star Ocean First and Second Departure ,Valkyrie Profile Lenneth and Persona 1,2 and 3.. PEACE!!!!
Sometimes I feel some sort of despair whenever I think how much time I'd need to actually finish my back catalog of JRPGs. And yet they release new ones every year.
I just finally got into the Trails games this year and finished Sky FC and Cold Steel 1 and am playing Cold Steel 2 right now. Absolutely in love with this series and can't wait to get to Zero and Azure. I am kicking myself for missing out on this one for so long. The story telling and word building are some of the best I have ever experienced from any JRPG series. Closet favorites coming out this year are Secret of Stars and Eiyuden Chronicles Hundred Heroes. And I just want to hear something about Granblue Fantasy RE link to know its still a thing. Looks awesome but we have heard nothing about it in years.
9:52 Estelle is dead, Erick. Sorryy About Reverie: I consider it the second best game post Crossbell games and before Kuro ones behind CS2. IT really surpasses CS4 by far having one of the best moments in the trilogy related to Rean. Also the new characters are quite good, and C kickass. Lapis is loveable and Nadia is a beauty too. Definitely recommended.
Next year has a FUCK ton of good games, ONLY thinking of JRPGs off the top of my head, I'm really excited for Reverie to release here in the west. Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is something I've been waiting since 2020 for, even backed it myself FFXVI looks fucking fantastic Granblue Fantasy Relink looks good
I really hope they have releases of all Trails games in the West. Loved CS so much, that I beat the first two, 4 times each, twice on PS3 and PS4. One of the very few games I beat and instantly did NG+. Playing Zero right now and seems great also.
No FFXVI, VII Rebirth, DQIII HD2D or Sea of Stars huh? Well, to each their own, lol! I personally would love an HD2D remake of FFVI or DQV, but if I'm dreaming here, I'd also take a new, more modern-retro take on Shining Force in the style of the first few games, and a new Alundra title closer to the original & Landstalker, and less like the travesty that was Alundra 2! Additionally, if you get a chance to play through Chained Echoes, I highly recommend it. While it does have it's flaws, it is a pretty DAMN good effort from a solo developer, with gorgeous level design and a few gameplay mechanics somewhat similar to Chrono Cross. Definitely worth not overlooking at the very least, and one of the best indie RPG's I've played.
For Fire Emblem Engage I am worried about the Nintendo Online and online only component of the game. Nintendo in their absolute fear of piracy is willing to start ruining their games.
I love Octopath Travelers. But I think they lack an aspect that I consider extremely important in JRPGS and that I really missed playing the first game. Games like Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy and other RPG classics always take great care in the interpersonal relationship between your team members. In many games, we can feel that there is a friendship, affection and correlation between the characters in the game in a very strong way, as is the case with Zidane, Garnet, Vivi, etc in Final Fantasy IX, for example. I didn't feel that in Octopath this was properly explored, I felt that the stories were individual and that the team members had little or no affinity with each other. That instantiated dialogue they created to create conversations didn't convince me at all and I didn't think it was that cool, at least to meet the need I described throughout the text. I hope that in II they fix that and try to work a little better on the relationship between individuals.
I can't wait for the Shadow Hearts spiritual successor. The only downside is that it seems to be using a traditional turn-based combat system, as for legal reasons it probably can't use the Judgement Ring. I would have changed it to a pendulum combat system myself. Essentially the same as the Judgement Ring, except it being a pendulum. ....that and I could coin the phrase "the pendulum of fate is swinging". Which is based on the Guilty Gear X2 match start phrase "The Wheel of Fate is turning". Just something for myself lol.
I recently started playing some older rpgs that I missed out on and the Trails series is one of them. Still near the beginning of Trails in the Sky but hoping to be caught up by the time Azure comes out. I've been swapping between Trails and the older Final Fantasy games.
oh my poor wallet but good t6o se some of the older games making a comeback i loved playing them the first time around so canty wait to see the differnce in the remake of them and to play them again great video as always love the channel so glad i found it as a big rpg fan and long in the tooth its good to see some of the oldies but goodies getting remakes for all those who never got chance to play them when they 1st came out they have something to look forward to
I think I only got about a 1,000 hours of JRPG before I can catch up to Trails into Reverie. Maybe 900, I mean, I did beat Trails in the Sky FC so far, and I'm 50 hours into SC.
I didn't know FUGA is getting a sequel!!! Love the first game. The art style was phenomenal... That and... I'm kind of a furry at heart. So double win on me. And Suikoden is a damn cult classic. I couldn't get part 1, but part 2 and above were absolutely stunning. The drama, the politics, ideology and characters were great. I even played the one on the DS. The only blemish on this series was 4 and its chaotic naval exploration. 5 was definitely my fav due to you being a prince and all. That one had more political roller coaster than all the other games. Damn it. Now my wallet's gonna feel light.
That would be awesome if they released suikoden 5 remastered someday. I had it for the ps2 but unfortunately sold it years ago when I got rid of my ps2 collection. Trying to rebuild my jrpg collection for the ps2 but this game is way too expensive now to get back!
no final fantasy 16? I guess this is what the title says "10 upcoming jrpgs" not "my 10 most anticipated jrpgs". I'm buying a ps5 for the new ff release can not wait.

Good to see that there are still strategy / turn based games RPGs to be released.

Engage was supposed to be a celebration for the 30th anniversary but was delayed due to covid
i love turn-base JRPGs the most . so those are the type of games i looking forward to the most.
Play Asia will be releasing physical versions for Suikoden with English support I believe, at least for the Switch version which I plan on getting.
More and more Preorders for the Suikoden 1&2 Collection are currently going live, so I think that it's pretty safe to assume that the game is getting a physical release.
I never knew they were up for pre-order and would definitely buy them physically especially if it had a collector's edition.
So looking forward to Trails To Azure and Reverie later on! Also keen on seeing how Fire Emblem turns out. Engage has me worried more than any F.E ever has.

I'm looking forward to see how the next Atelier trilogy turn out after Ryza having a trilogy by herself.

Trails of Zero and Azure is excellent, I liked the down to earth feeling.
Best trails games

I'm excited for those games as well, adding Atelier Ryza 3
Aaah, finally. I've been dry for a year, gimme JRPGs!!!
I'm excited for YS 10.

Only combat better than it might be Punishing Gray Raven ... or Wuthering Waves...

Where is octopath traveler 1 for psn
If they add a transgender character maybe Sony will allow the game on PSN. At least include a BLM shout-out.

I think Platinum Games is not a part of GBF Relink anymore, which somewhat explained the delays. It's just Cygames.
I remember reading they were only hired to do the combat gameplay and when they were done with that it was left to Cygames to finish it. That was between a year and 2 year's ago so not sure if that remained true. The gameplay shown so far looks pretty good for an action rpg.
Hey Eric, their is a SRPG coming out on several consoles that is releasing soon (Jan or Feb) called "Redemption reapers" that looks like what fire emblem would be if it took a darker direction. Check it out.
Trails, Final Fantasy and GranBlue(if not delay) for me.
Kind of hoping they release the trails in the Sky as a bundle so we dont have to wait for each installment.
Trails has made the jump in the west, there was no series that benefited more from the pandemic lockdowns than trails did. The incredibly long game scripts, the endless amounts of reading, suddenly that barrier became much smaller when everyone was in lockdown with nothing to do. I think a remaster of the sky trilogy is inevitable, the fact that Sky is the only set of trails games not available on all modern consoles is a drag that I expect will be remedied in the next few years. The economic case for a remaster of sky and a release on all modern consoles has never been higher.
I would buy each but would prefer a collection so no waiting to play them and could go right through the trilogy.
I totally forgot about suikoden's remaster. It looks beautiful
For me
Trails of Azure/Reverie
Neptunia sis vs sis
Atelier Ryza 3
a Nep Nep fan, I see
Suikoden might release in March according to a Spanish retailer leak
We are in the year of The Legend of Heroes! I’ll also throw Ryza 3 and the One Piece JRPG as must pickups for me personally.

And yet they release new ones every year.
I'll definitely grab Azure, though I'm so behind in trails games because I need occasional breaks from them due to their massive lenght.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is something I've been waiting since 2020 for, even backed it myself
FFXVI looks fucking fantastic
Granblue Fantasy Relink looks good
voice of reason - it looks like mobile artstyle, yet everyone seems like prise level of graphic (not artstyle)
I'm sure you will love it
French leaks say the Suikoden I & II will be out on March 9th, 2023.
Good list. I didn't know about some of these.
Fire Emblem Engage 😍
My body is so ready for Granblue Fantasy Re;Link 🙏🙏🙏
Gran Blue Fantasy is the one I'm excited for, hope the delays aren't bad news.
damn eiyuden looks great.. but surely cant wait for that octopath 2.. both are beautiful arts..
You forgot Legend of Nayuta, which is finally getting localized officially
I really hope they have releases of all Trails games in the West. Loved CS so much, that I beat the first two, 4 times each, twice on PS3 and PS4. One of the very few games I beat and instantly did NG+. Playing Zero right now and seems great also.
I can’t wait for Fuga 2.
I have Fuga 1 on both the PS4 and Switch.
Also waiting for suikoden 1&2 HD.
And the eiyuden chronicles game too.😁
I have Trails from Zero but kind of waiting for it to be closer to Azure releasing so I won't have too big of a gap between them.
I've ordered the Limited Editions of Reverie and Fire Emblem + Collectors of Azure - hope they are great!
The future looks great!!! ^_^
i can't wait for "octopath traveler 2" since i'm fan of octopath traveler 🤣 and i also lookin forward about "eiyuden chronicle", sounds interesting.

I'm excited for Fire Emblem Engage, The Legend of Heroes Trails from Azure, and One Piece Odyssey
I love Octopath Travelers. But I think they lack an aspect that I consider extremely important in JRPGS and that I really missed playing the first game.
Games like Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy and other RPG classics always take great care in the interpersonal relationship between your team members. In many games, we can feel that there is a friendship, affection and correlation between the characters in the game in a very strong way, as is the case with Zidane, Garnet, Vivi, etc in Final Fantasy IX, for example.
I didn't feel that in Octopath this was properly explored, I felt that the stories were individual and that the team members had little or no affinity with each other. That instantiated dialogue they created to create conversations didn't convince me at all and I didn't think it was that cool, at least to meet the need I described throughout the text.
I hope that in II they fix that and try to work a little better on the relationship between individuals.
I can't wait for the Shadow Hearts spiritual successor. The only downside is that it seems to be using a traditional turn-based combat system, as for legal reasons it probably can't use the Judgement Ring. I would have changed it to a pendulum combat system myself. Essentially the same as the Judgement Ring, except it being a pendulum.
....that and I could coin the phrase "the pendulum of fate is swinging". Which is based on the Guilty Gear X2 match start phrase "The Wheel of Fate is turning". Just something for myself lol.
I recently started playing some older rpgs that I missed out on and the Trails series is one of them. Still near the beginning of Trails in the Sky but hoping to be caught up by the time Azure comes out. I've been swapping between Trails and the older Final Fantasy games.
oh my poor wallet but good t6o se some of the older games making a comeback i loved playing them the first time around so canty wait to see the differnce in the remake of them and to play them again great video as always love the channel so glad i found it as a big rpg fan and long in the tooth its good to see some of the oldies but goodies getting remakes for all those who never got chance to play them when they 1st came out they have something to look forward to
Octopath Traveler 2 for the PS5??? Omfg, on switch this game looked beautiful, can‘t imagine how it will look and perform on the PS5😍
I think I only got about a 1,000 hours of JRPG before I can catch up to Trails into Reverie. Maybe 900, I mean, I did beat Trails in the Sky FC so far, and I'm 50 hours into SC.
No Final Fantasy XVI? One Piece Odyssey? Dragon Quest XII? Kingdom Hearts IV?
Those are some massive titles to just skip over 🤷♂️
He and 99% of youtubers is all about the switch. if its not on the switch they have to pretend its not worth be hyped about.
I want them all! 😁
I didn't know FUGA is getting a sequel!!!
Love the first game. The art style was phenomenal...
That and... I'm kind of a furry at heart. So double win on me.
And Suikoden is a damn cult classic. I couldn't get part 1, but part 2 and above were absolutely stunning.
The drama, the politics, ideology and characters were great. I even played the one on the DS. The only blemish on this series was 4 and its chaotic naval exploration.
5 was definitely my fav due to you being a prince and all. That one had more political roller coaster than all the other games.
Damn it. Now my wallet's gonna feel light.
That would be awesome if they released suikoden 5 remastered someday. I had it for the ps2 but unfortunately sold it years ago when I got rid of my ps2 collection. Trying to rebuild my jrpg collection for the ps2 but this game is way too expensive now to get back!
granblue is not exclusive to japan, its fully in english. Now paying might be a problem tho
Granblue Fantasy Relink: Are you sure about that?
Fuga is getting a sequel?? Sweet 💪
Can’t wait to see a new golden sun and ni no kuni 3 next year.
no final fantasy 16? I guess this is what the title says "10 upcoming jrpgs" not "my 10 most anticipated jrpgs". I'm buying a ps5 for the new ff release can not wait.
