Because it’s the PS1
>literally games that have 50% on Metacritic and which you have 0 reason to play without nostalgia
Indeed, a sea of shovelware garbage
saturn kid was allowed to use the computer this weekend. Go back to albert odyssey or some shit and pretend is a masterpiece.
>Metacritic
thanks for the laugh
>B-tier
according to whom?
Everyone was chasing the FF7 bucks. Then on PS2 JRPGs started selling less and less and then PS3 killed the genre outside of dedicated JRPG developers.
>then PS3 killed the genre
Wii had Xenoblade and TLS both of which were amazing and 360 had Lost Odyssey
>outside of dedicated JRPG developers
Monolith and Mistwalker were both set up to develop JRPGs. And Mistwalker has basically been dead since the 360 era, given their pivot into mobileslop. Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon only got made thanks to Microsoft funding in another failed attempt to crack the Japanese market.
I hate how underrated Arc Rise Fantasia is and how there is no place to talk about it
>fun af spin on turn based combat
>one of the hardest JRPGs ever
>good character design
The damage a bad English dub can do
It’s true. PS3 got the short end of the stick for a genre that built their brand.
360 had lost odyssey AND blue dragon.
>good
Because they were extremely easy to make
Were they? they're like 50 hour games full of art and enemies and shit
I really wonder why they are this long
Terrible examples. Especially with Chrono Cross there.
>Terrible examples
No? Most JRPGs are marred with backtracking and random encounters that yank you into a different screen where you fight mosquitoes like it's chess except all the choices are obvious. It's "Darling, how do we keep our autistic child busy so we can neglect it" - The Genre
Sony wanted the SNES audience
Everyone else wanted the FF7 audience
And jrpgs hinge on presentation which CDs excelled at. And the Saturn was too much of a pain and Sega did nothing to court jrpgs on the genesis or smmaster system.
because it has 10000 videogames
Turbo duo made jarpiggers fall in love with cd medium. They were waiting for a stronger cd console that was easy to program for.
Saturn also had some good jrpg, but of course, let's not translate a very popular genre because "they're too japanese".
I bought all of these except Digimon in high school. I think I bought every single JRPG as they came out. SaGa Frontier 1 and 2, Wild Arms 1 and 2, Suikoden 1 and 2, FF7-9 and Tactics, Valkyrie Profile, Arc the Lad, Persona 1 and 2, Vagrant Story, Legend of Mana, tons more. Fun times
