Forums - Gaming - This gen has been great for RPG lovers

I'm really, really hoping that Persona 5 ends up as a huge success, both in Japan and the west, and that success prompts more developers/publishers to work on unique and creative RPGs.

Personally, I think part of the decline in RPGs in Japan had to do with how generic they were becoming, with the same fantasy setting, bland art-style, and cookie-cutter, boy-hero-saves-the-world story. Of course, many publishers are going to miss the point and just look to mimic Persona.

I love and hate them. Witcher 3 really screwed me, it quickly turned into a mediocre game for me. Bloodborne was fantastic. I patiently wait for XC:X, I am really looking forward to that game.



yeah so many good RPG's this gen, and there were some surprises like Shadow of Mordor. currently playing the witcher 3 and its just fantastic. im addicted to it and loving it.

then there are also big named franchises that still havent released yet. Mass Effect 4, Fallout 4, Elder Scrolls and Final Fantasy.



Despite popular belief all gens have been great to RPG lovers.

I really can't argue against that. ;)

The time for JRPG lovers hasn't come yet. Only XCX is on the near horizon and that might turn out worse than its predecessor. DQ11 and FFXVI are still far off.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

They seem to be providing a lot of variety and usually high quality rpgs. Hardly more I could ask for.

I forgot shadow of mordor. It was innovative. Loved it.



RPG's are my favorite genre, specifically JRPGs... so I am very hyped for Xenoblade Chronicles X and Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem on my Wii U!

I'm also hyped for Persona 5 and Final Fantasy 15 for the PS4 and Fire Emblem If and Bravely Second on the 3DS.
