Im playing Hotel Dusk (got it for like 20$) and its a fantastic looking game (playing on 3ds). I want the sequel but its wayyy more expensive. Might get a german version (cheaper) and it has english text.Finished my Direct wishlist, wrong guesses only
Yeah, I think Persona 6 vs FE: Toothpaste will be a better comparison than FE3H vs vanilla P5 + an expanded version of the same game 3 years later on the same console + nearly 3 year late ports of an expanded version of a 6 year old game imo. Not to mention both vanilla P5 and Royal have gotten lots of deep discounts whereas 3H's discounts are far less frequent and far less cheap.
I'm going to be really disappointed if the new FE isn't called FE: Toothpaste
Typically those only happen at E3.
Fire Emblem is definitely more popular than Tales nowadays. I haven't seen much discussion of Arise
Well, I guess the difference then is that Tales has consistantly sold pretty decently while FE's popularity is a lot bigger but also a lot more recent.
Persona 4 is a 2 million seller (in addition to 5 being a 5 million seller), Persona 4 and 5 (and both re-releases) have 90 or higher Metascores, and most importantly, Persona has had a massive impact on JRPGs, many of which have since tried to incorporate everything from its calendar and social systems to just how the battle screens are laid out.
I think that feeling is true of any franchise you're only casually interested in compared to people who've invested a lot more time and passion into. In a perfect world all the mainline games in a franchise SHOULD feel fairly similar on the surface so that a player can jump in a decade later and be able to reacquaint themselves before learning about what makes this entry specific.
If they do this, I also hope they will release them with a brand new Four Swords adventure on NSO.
I think it's fair, Star Fox is a franchise of mostly mediocre to bad games so your favorite being mediocre fits perfectly.Still my favorite Star Fox game.
Again, we have multiple other franchises, including Fire Emblem itself, taking cues from Persona in response to Persona and its success.
Think Yakuza should be B tier, Dark Souls in S tier, and Pokemon in Pokemon tier
Honestly, Pokemon is such a sales monster that yeah, I think it belongs in a tier all of its own. Plus it at least popularized an entire genre that it dominates to this day more than two decades later, and obviously is a system seller unto itself. However, its general critical reception at least brings it down enough that I felt it was fine to put it alongside FF and DQ and MH. But at that point, we're really splitting hairs lol.
Yeah, Nier is the one I wavered on the most, I think there is a good case to be made for it to be higher than I put it. I settled on putting it where I did because so far, its success is isolated to one game across all fronts; ordinarily Replicant being unable to match Automata's sales success or critical reception would have caused me to write off Automata as a one off, however at the same time, Replicant is a remake/re-release of an older game, so I am not going to use it to assess the series' broader standing.
Fair enough. Could have sworn Like a Dragon hit a million, but I guess not.
Informally, it is generally understood and accepted that it probably did, but there's no real surety here (plus even if it did, it's still just the one game that did, in general I would need it to be reflected across at least a few games before I take it as proof of the series' popularity, rather than just the popularity for that one specific game).
I really hope the next Star Fox blows everyone away so we can have less trollish comments like this on boards.
Doesn’t really change your point, but Like a Dragon is an 86 on OC. Not really counting the MC scores since they’re sporadic across platforms, but it also holds an 89 on Xbone.
Yeah hopefully Nintendo has learned what not to do. It'd just be nice to see the games talked about without childish derision towards those who genuinely enjoy them.
Oh, I should have checked before I said it! Ultimately though yeah, it doesn't change my point yet.
My personal belief is that Tales of Arise, Soul Hackers 2, Star Ocean 6, and Scarlet Nexus are all going to make the jump to Switch sooner or later.
Start ranking JRPGs with us then
I would purchase if it was on switch. I’m one of the few, who prefers playing third party games on switch. And where the hell is dark souls 2 and 3?
I mean, this isn't even true though. I'm pretty sure the directors of 3H were specifically asked in interviews if they were influenced by Persona and they denied it. 3H's influences in terms of story, gameplay, and setting mainly came from some of KT's own franchises, FE itself (namely FE4) and I think they even mentioned Pikmin for the time management stuff.
The calendar system in Fire Emblem is absolutely a Persona derivative. It is also worth remembering that the developers never denied a Persona influence on the game, they just said the school setting was them looking at older FE games. Mechanically and structurally, FE has absolutely taken from Persona with Three Houses, I don't think anyone would deny that (it would be foolish to given how obvious it is).
I actually love playing most (if not all) third party games, and especially JRPGs, on Switch too.
I know multiple people who would do the same. I still prefer third parties on Playstation for the most part, but more reach is still more reach for these games.
I guarantee it will be the Skyrim style "holy shit, that is on a Nintendo system!?" game they use in the Switch 2 unveil. So the answer is yes, but not before the successor
No idea about Star Ocean 6, I haven't been following it at all, but I feel like Arise and Scarlet Nexus are more likely to get Drake ports.
