Top 5 JRPG Franchises That You May Never See Again

Just to clarify: when I say these are JRPG names you may never see again, I'm taling about full-budget console iterations. Finding these titles on portable devices still isn't impossible...at least, I hope it isn't.

But the chances of seeing any of these games on the PS3 (or PS4) seem to be dwindling fast. In the case of one series - Star Ocean - we have seen one entry this generation but in fact, it could very well be the last. Looking at the lay of the land, JRPGs seem to be perishing when placed against Western heavy hitters (which is part of the reason they're being relegated to handhelds).

Anyway, being a fan of the PS1 era of JRPGs that continued into the PS2 era, I'm sad to see the following go:

5. Xenogears/Xenosaga

The first was one of several Squaresoft titles in the PS1 era to become an instant timeless classic and to this day, RPG buffs will often place Xenogears in their top five of all time. The Xenosaga series was an off-shoot but I really enjoyed these titles, especially the first one. Featuring a slick sci-fi presentation and one of the coolest characters in RPG history, IMO (KOS-MOS), Xenosaga was heavy on story and theme. The turn-based combat - a staple of all these franchises, as you'll see - was also deep and engaging throughout. The ending to the first Xenosaga was great.

4. Wild ARMs

The first was an early PS1 title and to this day, I remember why I loved it: it gave you the chance to meet and become familiar with three well developed characters, and those characters were with you throughout your adventure. No constantly switching parties, which I always hated. It also had a fantastic magic system, if I remember correctly, which consisted of Crests and a bunch of different elements. A traditional RPG in every sense of the word, it was another series that thrived on story and presentation. Wild ARMs 3 adopted an interesting Western theme on the PS2 and it was great. But after that, the series went downhill.

3. Shadow Hearts

You won't find a game with a better turn-based mechanic: the Judgment Ring in Shadow Hearts: Covenant and Shadow Hearts: From the New World was absolutely amazing; it combined strategy with reflexes and offered a more in-depth and urgent style that is more often found in hack 'n slash styles. Plus, the dark environment, great characters, and a totally unparalleled atmosphere made both adventures memorable. You wanted to do everything, see everything, and revel in the twists and turns. Although I thought I'd hate the Judgment Ring on first glance, I was very, very wrong... I got really addicted to the combat.

2. Legaia

It annoys me that these two games - Legend of Legaia on the PS1 and Legaia 2: Duel Saga on the PS2 - didn't receive more appreciation from critics and gamers. It was turn-based and it allowed you to input fighting game-like commands (high, low, left and right strikes), the combination of which would result in either a simple series of attacks or one bad-ass combination. I still remember cheating and looking up the Miracle Arts on GameFAQs...heh. I particularly liked the characters and the worlds we traversed in these games; they just never got boring. Neither title got anywhere near enough love; no chance we'll see Legaia again.

1. Suikoden

It just isn't fair. Bar-none the second-best RPG franchise of all time next to Final Fantasy in my opinion, and it was going strong in the PS2 generation. Most agreed that the fourth installment wasn't up to snuff, but it was a strong return to form with Suikoden V. The first three titles are all amazing and not just three of my favorite RPGs, but three of my favorite games of all time. Recruiting the 108 Stars of Destiny could become an obsession if you weren't careful, and the combat and storytelling (especially the branching character plots of Suikoden III) were just so damn absorbing.

By the way, free hint for those reliving the classics and playing the original Suikoden: if you're going for 108 Stars, NO name on that stone tablet can be grayed out...not even Gremio's. Yes, he has to die as part of the storyline, but... ;)

When I saw this I just wanted to cry and its all I can do since I can't get into current RPGs, the WRPGs.

A new Suikoden is or is going to be on the PSP but I don't know if it will be localised.

Never seeing the return of Legaia is a very depressing thing to think of. I remember getting that game when it launched and how many hours me AND my family each put into it. My brother, myself, and my father all beat the game after playing so much! Some of the best memories I'll ever have are with Legaia. It's actually a title I'm hoping to eventually replay on my Vita through remote-play and Wi-fi.

Suikoden is the saddest loss of all, Konami probably figured it wasn't worth the cost because everyone decided to kill the JRPG.

Just think what would happen if someone made a full scale, next gen JRPG with an intriguing turn based style. It could re-energize the genre and the fans of it. Instead we get these half-conceived action hybrids.

It was done in 2008's Lost Odyssey to no success.

Mistwalker next JRPG: Cry On got cancelled basically because it wasn't finantially viable.

I think that was the last serious attempt at an epic, next gen, turn based JRPG.

Sad times indeed. I miss the PS1 JRPG era.

Lost Odyssey came out before there was a full on assault against JRPG mechanics and was aimed at the wrong market, very few JRPG lovers transferred from their PS2 to an Xbox 360 for that purpose.

XBOX360 is recognized for certain things, but one of those things isn't jRPG's. I really don't think PS2 players even considered switching to 360 for a jRPG. I love jRPG's, and even when I had a 360, I wasn't even LOOKING for a jRPG with it. I hadn't even considered it a possibility!

While JRPG are fading on PS3, it is not fading on other consoles, i.e. Wii.

I am going to get a used Wii just to play Xenoblade and The Last Story, probably two of the best JRPGs this generations -- without too much focusing on graphics, developers actually managed to focus its effort on making them with a deep and fascinating story, deep emotional music and well thought battle system -- that is all a JRPG is about, if graphics are ok, I will be quite satisfied.

p.s. the list of five above formed part of my best memories with ps2.

Yeah, the other console makers at least tried to satisfy the true JRPG's gamers hunger. Too bad there weren't that many to buy enough copies to justify more JRPG's.

I would really love a Lost Odysey 2.

By the way, I'm also considering to get a used wii to play the Last Story from Sakaguchi-San.

I have considered getting a Wii just to play The Last Story because I really loved The Lost Odyssey. Forgot about Xenoblade which is another highly rated game.

It's a shame one must own multiple platforms just to get their JRPG fix and even if you do own all 3 systems the selection of JRPG material out there is pretty thin. Weird that the PS3 actually had the least amount of JRPG material for most of this gen and that it lacks a truely elite JRPG. Did not see that coming.

I would argue that the Lost Odyssey is the only truly critically acclaimed title, and even that isn't a throwback to the PS1/PS2 era, imo.

As for PS3 not having jRPG's, I think it has a few pretty decent ones, but again, nothing that is an appropriate throwback to the PS1/PS2 era. (Loved Atelier Totori and WKC/WKC2 and although it's not nearly as good as Totori, I'm currently enjoying Atelier Rorona.)

With the future addition of Ni No Kuni, I have hopes still, as well. The PS2 had some pretty awesome jRPG's at the end of the PS2 era. I don't see why we won't see any now.

Still... on the whole, this generation has been a jRPG failure for all systems.

@Ben: Considering the high development costs and the niche appeal of the RPG genre, no current home console is, but some gamers are going to take what they can get.

@BigBoss and whoever else is looking to get a Wii, pending on your tastes of what RPG's your into, there might be a few you might be interested in. I'll admit now, their is nothing that may not have any mainstream appeal. But like I said it depends on your tastes and what you are looking for.

My current favorite is Monster Hunter Tri, great game but be advised, that it is a title that doesn't take the liberty of holding your hand. Steep learning curve, and an array of complex features awaits.

There is also Fire Emblem, Rune Factory, and a re-release of Phantom Brave, if you haven't played the PS2 iteration. Nothing major, but nevertheless, games that are worth checking out, if you make the crossover.

@ Mr. Bitey: Of course there has, as well as the DS. I'm very fond of the RPG lineup that can be found on portable consoles, I just hate playing games on them, in this case, it's not the content that puts me off, rather than the form of delivery.

I feel a lot more comfortable with a couch, controller, and TV.

Nagi, I completely agree with you.

It's a pitty that in a way all this becomes is a matter of principles. But I too am disapointed that there's so much hype on the Blue ray this and Next Gen that and we have yet to see a decent RPG.

Bring back Dark Cloud, damn it!...AND Legend of Dragoon!!!

I agree with you fellas as well. I love my games on my PSP. And I get a lot in when I'm traveling. Occasionally, my wife will have some of her girlfriends over to watch some chick flick, and I'll play it then, but let's face it... most of the time I want to play is when I'm home. And when I'm home, why would I play on a little itty-bitty screen, when I've got a big ol' HDTV, a couch, and a beer holder?

Monday, February 13, 2012 @ 10:15:54 AM

Xenosaga 3 rocks, if you only played 1 & 2, you owe it to yourself to play the third part, it's *way* better than Episode 2. The ending of 3 is somewhat open ended. There is room for a sequel with KOS-MOS' closing words....I'll avoid spoilers and leave it at that.

But, if you liked Xenosaga 1, and were disappointed by comparison with Episode 2, play episode 3, it brings things back almost to the standard of Ep 1. That said, nothing beats episode 1.

Still, an Episode 4 would be possible, and Xenosaga fans would leap on it, not sure if anyone else would though.

If you replay, consider Kevin and Shion's relationship in the full knowledge of what he did and knew when she was a child, and then again later when he arranged for her to work with him and formed a relationship with her. She didn't remember him from her childhood. Considering the trauma and emotional scarring, that's not surprising. But, the intriguing part is that psychologically, Shion as a child experienced such extreme trauma that she is almost certain to have entered a dissociative identity state. It brings a whole new perspective on the way Kevin manipulates events and emotions in her later life and during the third game.

You might end up liking Shion a lot more and loathing Kevin more than ever.

Xenogears was an excellent one for the PS1. To get a hard copy will cost you a fair bit, I think, but it's available on the PSN for PS3 or PSP for $9.99. I would recommend it for your PSP, as the graphics, while cool 3D at the time, is pretty ancient and crappy looking on a big ol' HDTV now. (Came out the same year as FF7!!)

Xenosaga 1 2 and 3 are all on the PS2. Prices vary, but they aren't anything like getting an original copy of Earthbound or Crono Trigger. They should be respectable prices now.

If I may take a cross reference over to the discussion at the forums nowadays: Games like *these* is what I probably talk about in the Kingdoms Of Amalur thread.

I don't know any of these at all. Now, if I had known them and played them back then when they were king my theory is that I too would have "learnt to like the Japanese style games". They seem to have been "good teachers". :)

Actually, just writing Dark Cloud makes my chest hurt that I probably won't be seeing any of those again. Yeah, WKC was the spiritual successor but it just didn't do it for me the same way as the Dark games.

Or Grandia!!! Dammit, now I just feel like crap that the games I loved the most are dead and buried. Or what about the Lunar series? Bah, I'm done, going to go wallow now.

Don't be sad over Dark Cloud. It isn't dead. Level 5 have saim many times that it really is just a matter of time and said that the more outcry there is for it, the faster it's made.

Same applies to Rogue Galaxy.

I've also found a few jrpg type games on my kindle fire. try them out and get developers to see the sales and then put more money into those sales. Yeah, I went off on a tangent there, but it was worth it.

Suikoden and Star Ocean are my absolute favorite RPGs of all time. As such, seeing Suikoden on this list - though I suspected I would - only makes me saddened so deeply. I hope so much that they give Suikoden at least ONE more shot, only in next-gen limelight, before giving up on the series. Alas, with the original team behind the games being broken up... Time will only tell.

I'm glad Phantasy Star is not part of that list as they are still making new games.
