Anime Good jrpgs on switch

[eli]

Since real life things needs me to do stuff and I don't have to the time to play on PC i bought a switch and wanted to play the best rpgs i can. Also i wrote in the title jrpgs because the switch is full of that shit with almost no wrpg to play (or comfortable to play on a switch), BUT i know the codex can stand to that challenge.

Ehh, I don't really like the artstyle a lot of jrpgs have, looks edgy to say the least. I am more in line with pixel art or somewhat old anime artstyle (like DQ). But regardless, i wanted to know more about how good in general are itemization and theorycrafting in jrpgs.

Xenoblade Chronicle Definitive Editon and FE: Three houses.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is also quite good but it's quite slow to introduce it's mechanic and story , took until the end of chapter 4 to actually get good.

Digimon Story Cybersleuth CE is good if you are into Monster Tame game.. Other than those, Switch is quite lack of really good JRPGs.

There is a JRPG subforum for this type of GARBAGE. Go there, retard.

If you like blobbers both Wizardry Gaiden 4 and Wizardry Chronicle are good jrpgs. Both are anime-free.

I would add SMT3: Nocturne, FFXII and Strangers on Sword City.

Final Fantasy XIII is a great JRPG.

I can vouch for Ys 8 Lacrimosa of Dana myself. Game is ugly as sin (it started life as a PS Vita game and it sure still looks like it even on Switch), but it's incredibly fun to play if you like exploration and fast-paced actions RPGs.

• Three Houses provides the turn-based combat starting point. You can more or less ignore the animu story and school shit if you want.
  
• Dragon Quest XI on hardest settings can be a nice "classic" romp. Don't expect it to ever do anything surprising on any level, but it works if you want a big ass world to roam around and bash stuff.
• Romancing Saga 3 is excellent with its own weird ass spin on the formula, and a good introduction to other Saga games.

There's a lot of ports but this depends - e.g. FF7/9/12 might be nice to play on this if you haven't got them elsewhere. I see no reason to play DOS2 or Witcher 3, etc on Switch if you can do so on PC. (Most ports are good quality, but there are a few stinkers like POE which apparently has an awful port.)

Games that I tried, and thought they were decent but nothing special, that I guess you could try if you wanted: Octopath Traveler, Ni No Kuni, Child of Light. Mercenaries games are a kind of poor man's FF Tactics series.

I've found that the Switch is good for me with less traditional RPGs and more hybrid stuffs, from Roguelikes/lites (Hollow Knight, Slay the Spire, Into the Breach) to straight off actiony games (Astral Chain).

 

[Carpincho Pampeano]

If you want a traditional jrpg Bravely Default 2 just came out, i'm 12 hours in, if you like games with jobs systems this is your best bet.

More RPGs to enjoy if you game on 3DS.

Still waiting for SMT 3 HD and SMT V Five the new one on Switch.

Yo-Kai Watch 4 may never get a western localized release.

 

[Doktor Best]

Whats the deal with these yo kai watch games? Aren't these for kids? I read about them that they're easy as fuck and you can't even give your monsters direct orders?

So what makes them so good people are looking past these flaws?

 

[Ialda]

They are just Pokemon-like with cute graphics and monsters based on a mix between folklore and dirty jokes, targeted at elementary schoolers, with an aniçme series and a fuckton of merchandasing on the side. It's an easy way to score a big success in Japan, and I still can't believe how L5 succeded in fucking it up this bad.

The target audience of Yo-Kai Watch 1,2,3 are children. The RPG mechanics are not difficult for experienced RPG players. You do not select moves/spells like in Pokemon or SMT or Dragon Warrior.

They are, however, fun to play. Relaxing and enjoyable. Colorful and funny. The creature designs are interesting and all based on real life ghosts/spirits/yokai/demons and some made up funny monsters.

Level5 delivered a high level of polish and made Yo-Kai Watch 3 a huge game with a lot of content, maps to explore, and 600+ monsters to collect. It's a fun way to spend an hour a day over a year to play thru.

I mentioned Yokai watch 4 as a game that is not available to western audience on Switch.

The answer to the original question of "good RPGs on switch"? We are still waiting for a good selection of RPGs on switch.

Just want to add that yo kai battles are more focused on being a manager then direct control.
You pick when to use specials,items and rotate yokai based on weaknesses.

 

[samuraigaiden]

Every single one of the people who are unironically talking about playing this Yoikai game should get an appropriate tag.

 

[Talby]

Octopath Traveller is good, though it got a PC port a few years ago. Also keep an eye on Triangle Strategy, which has the same art style but is a FFTactics style game.

 

[Doktor Best]

I agree that the 3DS is the better platform for J-RPGs. You not only get the vast library of the 3DS, but also backwards compability for NDS games. Those tend to go for absurd prices, but you can easily get an NDS emulation cartridge from China.
