Just Random Popular Games - I can't think of clever topic title

Bonjour friends, we have a few threads around RPG games are some are warranted like Octopath Traveler at the time (not sure how much the thread will be used for II, as it just Balla who has the game?) and some series like the Trails maybe should have its own thread if you're planning on playing Zero, Azure or Nayuta.

That doesn't mean there's not RPG games coming outside bigger IPs or have some buzz around them due to devs etc like

Out soon as in this month, I've heard abit about it as feel there's a demo on STEAM or was previews recently where it mentions Persona-like elements  


What I made thread for as it's from a bunch worked on Mana, Xenoblade games etc though famitsu gave it 7/8/8/8


Much like TT above Loop8 is from people that worked on Lunar, Grandia etc


The newest announced one CRYMACHINA is meant to get a western release this year


Will they be any good who knows, I've stuck to ones coming to Switch but is things like Granblue Relink coming as well and bound to be more in the RPG genre.

Good work Mas, we probably did need this topic for half of the forum to ignore. (Can I suggest 'popular' for the title? ) All of those trailers hammering home why I pick subs over dubs in all of my RPG experiences though, Xenoblade and its comedy excellent British accents aside.

I guess my current RPG experience is Chained Echoes (a JRPG by a Western team, bulky though) and now Octopath 2, so I don't have anything to contribute to this topic at the moment. I will though!

Same oddly and out of the ones I've brought up, TT is the one I've got my eye on the most.

I don't know what any of those games are, but from the thumbnail on the YouTube video, I can say I hate them.

Jimbob, not liking the look of some JRPGs!?



Oh and Agnea from Octopath 2 is becoming the Ha'anit of that game. Sigh.

Well Mato turned out to be meh at a 60 on Open with only 31% recommending it, let's hope the next RPG coming it good.

And that I have coming Octopath II (wasn't sure to post here or the Octopath thread, as that bit of Agnea the newest post on the game) even though got lots to play, along with not really keeping up with the game.

I'll keep you company in the Octopath thread Mas, I have plenty to say about it and nobody to say it to right now.

Mine has arrived so will pop into that thread at some point

I have started Xenoblade Chronicles 3 so will probably only have time for Octopath Traveller 2 if I ever get furloughed during another pandemic.

While I am overall enjoying Octopath 2, we're talking a game where I'm wondering whether it's a 6 or a 7/10 compared to the best (read: my favourite) non-Mario RPG of all time.  Good choice Rum.

I have wrapped up the eight stories in Octo 2, and a new final story has opened up.  That's what I needed.  That's what I want to see.  I hope it's not rubbish. (Decent chance it won't be, only one of the eight paths has been rubbish.)
