if it's not turn based than it's not a real JRPG
so at most the only good JRPG will be Re Fantasy but since Persona was fucking garbage this will probably be just as bad.
So no, JRPGs will never be good again.

Probably, NnK is looking better than the first already.

But Automata, Berseria, and Cold Steel all proved JRPGs are still kicking.

>>387814895

Dragon Quest XI is going back to turn based and everything classic RPGs did. That being said, you're an idiot.

>>387816996
Replace berseria with persona 5

>>387817117
Except Persona 5 was mediocre, held your hand too much, and did nothing special except for artstyle and music

P4G and P2 were miles better

>>387817372
Are you trying to tell me berseria is better, when the combat system is mashing one weakness and occasionally pressing R2 coupled with abhorrent dungeon/environment "design:?

RE this, RE that. Whats up with Chinese people sticking RE in all their games. What does RE mean. RE RE RE RE

>>387817534
The dungeon design sucks (but it's not like P5 is much better), but there's more depth to the combat system if you play on a harder difficulty.

>>387817731
You say this when people complaining about Berseria's combat system play it on NG+ Chaos.

Only way I found the game even remotely challenging was doing No Encounters and No Items run with Chaos.
There is depth, sure, but you need to really gimp yourself for it to matter at all.

So when is Monolith going to leave Nintendo. Literally everything they made for them has been a massive flop. Sony can give them a much bigger platform.

>>387818357
Source on show, google gives me nothing

>>387818745

Lackluster in open world exploration. Lackluster story. Lackluster in combat.

Basically, all flash and no substance, like all FF games. The fact that it took 9 years to come out made it even more of a disappointment.

>>387818628
Action RPGs made in Japan are just as much as JRPGs as turnbased RPGs made in Japan.

>>387819219
Never, nintendo is the only company that hasn't fucked them over

>massive flop

>>387819219

What is your idea of a flop? Because it didn't sell 9 million units?

>>387814582
>can JRPG be allowed to be good again?
Until devs start caring about world and level design again, And that requires budget, so no.

>>387819467
No, an action RPG is something like the Tales games where you actually have party members you can all control, extensive RPG mechanics, traditional RPG progression (towns , dungeons, world map) etc.

Stuff like Kingdom Hearts and Nier Automata are more action games than "JRPG".

Also when it comes to Xenoblade, the games sold out. Xenoblade Chronicles actually undersold because of a limited printing.

>>387819778
Mechanically there is nothing making Automata more of a JRPG than most of Platinum's other games. Even TW101 qualifies more since it technically has party members.

Speaking of Monolith Soft, anyone else fell Xenoblade X should get a Switch port? I feel bad for Monolith Soft having such a good game locked to a flopped system

>>387820192

It probably will.

I didn't buy Xenoblade X because of a lack of dual audio so they better add that in.

JRPG is not a genre with definable mechanics . It just means Japanese RPG. RPGs are not strictly party-based, either.

The Action JRPGs from the early 80s that predate turn-based JRPGs are just as JRPG as the latest moeblob dungeon crawler.

Nier Automata is just as much of a JRPG as Xenoblade or Dark Souls.

>>387820294
I mean the Switch has already sold more than a third of its total lifetime sales in 5 months, so...

>>387820192
Yeah, but it won't get it. Would be weird to release it when a new X games i about to come out

>>387820339
Nier Automata has more in common with Bayonetta than Xenoblade.

>>387820297
Soraya Saga :^)

>>387820549
Xenoblade has nothing in common with Dragon Quest.

>>387814582

>>387820712

Except massive Shounen cliches and being JRPGs.

>>387820712
It has a few things in common, meanwhile Automata has literally nothing.

>>387821047
>being JRPGs
Just like Nier Automata is a JRPG.

>shounen cliches
So are you implying 90% of Japanese fighting games are JRPGs now?

>>387821184

>Just like Nier Automata is a JRPG.
Yes, it is.

>So are you implying 90% of Japanese fighting games are JRPGs now?
I didn't claim being shounen inspired makes something a JRPG. Just that it is a similarity Xenoblade and Dragon Quest share.

>>387820587
Wait really?

>>387819917
Is the N3DS version of Xenoblade as good as the wii version? I want to get into the series before Xenoblade 2, but I want some more details first.

>>387821695

I have no idea. I bought it off Virtual Console on Wii U.

Only played about 5 hours so far and I'm not really that thrilled by it yet. Endless tutorials and skills that you never have time to get used to.

Monolith Soft just aided in the world design, which is ironic because if MS is known for anything it's interesting and unique locales, everything BotW isn't.

Fucking Nintendo.

>>387824942

>Monolith Soft just aided in the world design
No, they pretty much made the whole overworld.

>which is ironic because if MS is known for anything it's interesting and unique locales, everything BotW isn't.
Having played Xenoblade Chronicles, the areas in BotW are way better designed. Xenoblade had interesting design, but you have to admit from a gameplay standpoint the world was mostly linear hallways leading to the next cutscene. While BotW had true free roaming, dynamic areas.

>>387819219

What are you on? Xcx was pretty niche and had mixed reviews with no marketing and still sold well

>>387821695
I heard that one should avoid the 3ds version, go for wii or emulator if you can
