The Mainline Super Robot Wars titles are completely standalone except ones who got a sequel like the Alpha and Z series and if you're worried by the Animes you don't know in the rosters don't worry you really don't need to watch their Anime to understand their role in the story as it's mostly original and retreads of their Anime story with just some extra dudes from other Animes mixed in. And I think this is the only crossover series that acknowledge other characters outside their source material and events will not playout exactly like their Animes because of the existence of other Anime characters. Like Shinji in Evangelion will not be a bitch and actually grew some balls because there are other people he can relate with and be a positive role models with or this character will die in the Anime but there's an option to save them because the situation is now different and stuff like that.

@@Caspicum i think it's fun,it has a decent combat system and a nice post game dungeon with an insane final boss, the story is extremely anime and cliché, but i think it's part of its charm

I wondered how many of these games I played...and it was most.

About your point with auto heals after battles. I think xenoblade does it quite well, depending how much you grinded and which difficulty you choose of course, in the original Xenoblade chronicles i had, especially at the later parts, the felling everyone goes all out constantly.

Pretty good compilation! There's some obscure yet interesting stuff. Such disrespect for Tales though😞

The Legasista footage kinda reminded me of the Cladun games with how they have decimal damage values for whatever reason. Had some really weird character progression built in, too.

Legasista is made by the same team of Cladun and acts as a spiritual successor, yes. Basically same series.

Oh damn, I remember Cladun. Never got too into it because it felt like they really wanted to reinvent something but didn't quite know how. It still ended up better than Legasista though, hot damn.

Glad to see I'm not the only one fed up with anime. Used to watch them all the time, now they make me gag.

White Knight Chronicles 1 was so disappointing, not only was the narrative not that great, the player character felt so tacked on. Demon Souls on the other hand I think is best out of the Souls series and has the best ending out of any Souls game despite being so simple. You actually save the world like you set out to do instead of only delaying the inevitable or becoming a minion of (insert character here). I really appreciate the look back on all of these, even if I come from the opposite perspective for JRPGs, being more into the plot and characters instead of being focused on the gameplay.

Ιm still waiting for Tales of Friendship Power addition to Tales series. Oh, sorry, I forgot its actually the story of almost all Tales games...

Design of Folklore looks so cool, I never imagined! I guess same guys made original Genji, so yeah..

Super Robot Wars is hard to get into cuz in a franchise of like 70+ games only like 10 are translated into English officially or otherwise. And since the main draw of these games is seeing your favorite mecha anime crossover and try to piece together a plot out of 10 different anime, you probably won’t find much in it outside the at best pretty alright srpg gameplay. That being said, the best games to jump in with are probably T cuz it’s fairly new, well liked and in english, and Alpha Gaiden because it’s in english and is generally considered one of the best. However if you’d rather a story of non anime mechs then you should play Masou Kishin: The Lord Elemental for the SNES as it has great visuals, a decent yet charming story (translated into english), and is pretty much wholly contained within its own characters and world. You could also play OGs for the PS2, as it has also been fan translated into english and is a remake of OG1 and OG2 on GBA, featuring a cast made up of original characters from the last few games all in one plotline. Masou Kishin in particular has a ton of weird mechanics but OGs is fairly well liked, especially compared to other OG games

7:57 you can tell he didnt beat it because he didnt have anything to say about the final boss. im proud of him

@@Caspicum lol good luck! My advice is to play on Conponent cables NOT hdmi becausr the input latency makes it impossible on HDMI! To unlock the final boss you need to own every weapon in game! Have fun!

Tales of Xillia 2 is the best Tales game and easily one of the best games of 7th gen. The reason the 3rd axis of movement was only available when holding a button was so that the rest of the time (99.9% of the time) you can use the entire controller for arte inputs without it janking your character all over the place at the same time. The fact that they did away with arte binding after this game is the primary flaw of the Tales series and the reason they still haven't made another one worth playing. They've literally traded away full control over your characters' attacks for not having to hold down L2 for a second if you want to free run, which you may need to do 3 times in a given playthru.

The only thing of note that The Guided Fate of Paradox has is that it was part of a collaboration with Love Live! School Idol Project's idol group μ's, lending voice work for some of the characters in the game, it even has the anime characters listed in the credits instead of the real VA's for some reason, but hey, at least it did give us some nice character songs because of that, but aside from that I dont think I have much good to say about it......

That's kinda cool. Was it a similar thing with how Dokurochan was in ZHP or is that just a cameo?

Magus legit looks like a current day unity assett-flip

I hope Tales of Xillia 1 and 2 get ported to the Switch one of these days.

Are you actually completing all these games before you make the list or just playing them until you get bored? Because if it's the former then holy crap that's commitment

I just played them until I got bored, which ended up with a couple really long playthroughs, and a couple very short ones I had to really force myself to sit through

That was, without a doubt, the best review of Qoga I've seen... and not just because it's the only one. So much good stuff here. Thanks for this walk down marginal RPG memory lane. Edit: I should probably put some substance here. There are reasons for non degenerates to play Qoga... Notably some great music. The setting is also pretty interesting. You have to put up with way too much awkward dating sim/arpg hybrid to experience either, though. For a laugh have a look at the dlc they released for it.

White Knight Chronicles 2 is my favorite JRPG of all time, it's fucking fantastic and nothing in any other has gotten me as hype as getting to build my own giant Knight like a Gundam and summoning it into battle whenever i want to smash my pathetic enemies with a massive fuck off hammer. Also if you take the time to unlock the custom Knight the final boss has a great change where he freaks out that your player character has one and you get to whoop his ass way easier than normal, it's awesome.
