Looking for a "retro" jrpg to play
Hello everyone !
I just finished Dragon Quest VII Reimagined and really enjoyed it. I am now looking for my next JRPG adventure and wanted to tackle something "retro", at least a classic not from this generation.
What i liked about the game :
- It really felt like a true journey with a good sense of discovery
- A very living group of characters, they come and go and actually have meaningful things to say about what's happening
- Good music, though not that varied in this case
My all-time favorite JRPGS :
- Persona 3/4/5 and Metaphor
- Octopath Traveler 2 and Live A Live
- Xenoblade series (especially 3)
- Fire Emblem (Since awakening, i loved Three Houses)
Here are my options :
- Grandia HD Collection
- LUNAR Remastered collection
- Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D (played III last year, might be too soon since i just played VII)
- Chrono Trigger
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster
- Final Fantasy Tactics Ivalice Chronicles
- Star Ocean Second Story R
- Ys Memoire of Celceta (played Oath in Felghana last year)
I'm open to even more options, Switch 1/2 preferred but PC is fine.
Thank you and have a nice day !
