lol what? Nintendo objectively has no had any good JRPGs on any of their systems in well over a decade. Nintendo doesn't even like RPGs or the people who play them. Nintendo is a company that makes toys for children and families these days because they abandoned the JRPG market many many years ago.

If you want a JRPG then you should be looking at Sony consoles and PC. Certainly not Nintendo by any stretch of the imagination unless you like chibi shit and kiddy shit.

If you're someone who wants an excellent story RPG experience above all else then you start with Trails in the Sky FC

>>377450404
Trails in the Sky FC on steam is the very beginning of the Trails series if that's what you're asking about. There are no games before that in the Trails series specifically.

The canonical storyline goes in this order

Trails in the Sky FC
Trails in the Sky SC
Trails in the Sky 3rd

Trails to Zero - no english release yet
Trails to Azure - no english release yet

Trails of Cold Steel
Trails of Cold Steel 2
Trails of Cold Steel 3 - in development in Japan

That's the whole Trails story so far

Stuck up dipshit with a painters brain instead of a cooks. He is more concerned with making a plate look appealing for a picture than making it a good meal people enjoy. He's the stereotype of the haughty chef who charges 700 dollars for his garnished up little porcelain plate with a slice of salmon on it. He also bitches at people for making food traditionally instead of his coastal elite styles. Dude bitches about grease on pizza, a dish that traditionally has a FUCK ton of grease especially if done in sicilian style. He's an idiot who thinks his personal rich guy tastes are objectively what everyone loves. If you want a guy who actually knows some shit about food and doesn't cry when it isn't prepared to his personal tastes, try Guy fierri or Anthony bourdain.

I don't know why you're on this Nintendo rant now. SMRPG wasn't even done by Nintendo.

It's not that it SUCKS per se, but the game doesn't really bring anything noteworthy to the table. It certainly doesn't have an interesting story, characters, or gameplay. It's basically just an RPG for mario fans, which is not really what OP was asking for.

>>377450162
Compared to the competition Nintendo doesn't put out a whole lot of jrpgs, but still there's quality series like Fire Emblem, Xenoblade Chronicles, Baten Kaitos on their home consoles since the SNES era, and they a shitton of other jrpgs licensed for their handhelds, especially DS and 3DS.

>>377451287
Well anon I don't know what to tell you. I play JRPGs exclusively so I never buy nintendo consoles to begin with. If they have a few games that go on their systems then I surely have never played them, and most likely never will, because Nintendo consoles are not for fans of JRPGs.

If Nintendo wants to stop being a children's toy and start attracting JRPG fans then maybe I will consider future consoles, but as of right now that is not their market.

Zelda series

>>377451654
EO and SMT are some of the best JRPGs there are. The Fire Emblem-series is also amazing, although Awakening and FE Birthright were shit. Conquest and Echoes were both great. No, the Nintendo consoles aren't JRPG-machines, but they have a select JRPGs of amazing quality. Nocturne is available on the PS2 and PSN store, so you could try that if you want to get into SMT, or just emulate EO3.

>>377448958

I will most likely pass. These are handheld games, so the quality is likely to be much lower than you seem to think, especially given the fact that you are a nintendo fan which almost guarantees you don't have much experience with the JRPG genre outside of the select few games on your DS or whatever. I also checked google images regarding EO and the quality does not look promising.

>>377452150
>These are handheld games, so the quality is likely to be much lower than you seem to think
Only EO is handheld, and you're still wrong. EO is great. The gameplay and dungeon crawling are both excellent. You haven't played either series, which is your loss, so I don't see why you're trying to judge them.

>>377448958
>JRPG
>Good
Pick one.

>>377452150
EO's some of the best dungeon crawlers there are

SMT is SMT. Fun and punishing gameplay, fun party building and customization. IV is considerably the weakest but SJ and IV Apocalypse ate great. If you have played Persona then the gameplay changes from P4 to P5 is Atlus realizing it's better that they actually put in SMT mechanics like recruitment and mid-battle swap instead of half-assing it. Their only faults is their lack of a traditional party, which might be a turn off for traditional JRPG fans

Fire Emblem Conquest and Devil Survivor Overclocked are considerably the best SRPGs recently

>>377452885
How someone can say that they love JRPGs and not own a DS/3DS baffles me, really. The best modern JRPGs have been on the DS, imo

Here you go sir. Fantasy World War JRPG.

>>377450590

That's not real life Gordon Ramsay, that's tv show Gordon Ramsay and everything you've described is nothing like he is. In real life he's a generally calm but blunt genuine person. What you see mostly on tv shows where he's flipping out on shows like Hell's Kitchen is like multiple chefs fucking up like 20 times over the course of half an hour to an hour for one dish. You think he comes from

>He also bitches at people for making food traditionally instead of his coastal elite styles.

I think you are highly mistake and in fact in his Kitchen/Hotel Nightmares he emphasizes a return to a proper traditional style of cooking for the establishment in question. Be it French, Italian, Soul Food, Seafood, Country style home cooking etc.

>Dude bitches about grease on pizza, a dish that traditionally has a FUCK ton of grease especially if done in sicilian style.

Actually a traditionally done proper Italian Sicilian style pizza should not have a "FUCK ton" of grease on it if you use proper mozzarella(proper mozzarella should be white and not yellow) and contains very low fat content and not the pseudo-mozzarella that they commonly use in American pizza places(fun fact, American cheese being mostly processed cheese cannot legally be classified and marketed as cheese in many places including the US.) This coupled with the fact that in fact sometimes a Sicilian style Pizza can even not use any Cheese at all.

The only thing similar to an Italian and American style Sicilian pizza these days is technique, method and equipment. Ingredients ranging from the type of dough(American places tend to rub oil into the dough as opposed to Italy) to topping contents and amount. This isn't meant to be a detraction from American style pizzas because recipes and tastes have to change for your local customers. If you actually know and find an authentic Italian Pizzeria that still makes Pizzas the "old ways" then you have a gem of an establishment on your hands.

Trails games are great, but there's a chunk of people who don't like them because they're extremely text-heavy, and they have a really bad habit of introducing things but never explaining things until later installments just to hook you into buying the next game.

They're seven games (soon to be 8), comprised of two trilogies and a duology, with each of the trilogies and the duology starring different characters but in the same overall world and time period. The stories overlap with eachother but you can start with whatever's the first game in one of the subseries without feeling lost.

One of the biggest turn-offs is just how text-heavy they are. Each individual game on its own has more text than the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy, and there's plenty of moments where you just spend an upwards of multiple hours just talking and having things explained to you instead of actually fighting.

It doesn't. It's bog standard turn-based with an inferior FFV job system and one added mechanic (Brave/Default system) that makes it even more piss easy to abuse than even the piss easiest of FF games. Being able to fast forward the garbage combat was the only good part. But it appeals to the absolute lowest common denominator of turbo weeb plebs, just like the hackneyed writing, painfully obvious plot "twists," tropey characters, awful dialogue and gross chibi art.
