Sakura Wars is an absolute hidden gem, the combat might feel repetitive later on, but the story and the characters is the best part. The game did a really good job at dragging you into their world, I was so immersed that I spent 14 hours a day into the game and finished it in only 2 days.

Scarlet Nexus, Tokyo Xanadu, Tales of Arise and Ys IX are some of my absolute favorites and it's always nice seeing them on lists like this

[capybrianna]

Scarlet nexus is very underrated, so happy to see it in a list like this

[Jwg-gjqs]

I haven't played that many action jrpg's but Tales of Arise was a JOYRIDE OF A GAME. My eyes were literally tearing up at the end. Also currently playing a 3rd time while playing Tales of Symphonia.

Tokyo Xanadu ex+ was on sale for about $2 last year on Steam so I ended up buying it a second time and putting it on my Steam Deck. Ridiculously good value for money.

The ending to Tales of arise choked me up it was such a good game

[EVERYWHERE_MAN]

Ys and Tales of series is so underrated

[AndSpaceY]

My favorite modern action JRPGs: FFVII Remake, Nier Automata, Elden Ring, Tales of Arise, Star Ocean The Divine Force, Code Vein, and Kingdom Hearts 3.

[AcerSense]

I always loved Arise, although its my first game Tales of series, something about this game just.... Grabs me in, dunno why, but i love it

[mhbarney]

Tales of Arise has the best Video game cast ever. No stupid childish anime behavior. They all react relatable and Alphen is just the best possible Option for a good protagonist.

I love this game. Worth the wait.

[goodkiller]

It's nice to see someone appreciate just how fun Ys IX is.

[enderking-ydoy]

tales of arise is on of my fav games its story, combat and world are all so amazing and the characters backstories and interactions with each other is peak id give it a 9.9/10 bc of how hard the kirito and asuna dlc fight is

[TheSilvershadow]

Tokyo Xanadu is super epic, and its quality is astounding considering it was designed as a product just to hold fans over between the wait of two Trails games. Its gameplay is similar to Ys whilst the world itself has the atmosphere of Trails!

My favorite JRPG genre is action JRPGs. What a fantastic list! Love the shout out to Trials of Mana! And oh man, thanks for admitting that you had a blast with Ys IX! I actually enjoyed it more than VIII. and Yes to Persona 5 Strikers (folks sleep on that game). Can't wait for the next Tales (of) game! I still gotta get to Scarlet Nexus and Sakura Wars. Good stuff as always!

I'm very happy to see scarlet nexus getting some love. Sure it wasn't a perfect game, but I don't think it gets near the love it deserves. We as a community need to be better at supporting new IP's with big potential, or we'll keep having a stagnate market of mostly spinoffs and sequels that we've had for too long.

[lucascaribe]

I love vídeos talking about Trials of Mana! I love this game so much! I Hope they do a sequel tô that and Tales of Arise as well

[noriakikakyoin]

Ys IX is a hidden gem.

I loved how every chapter the game managed to surprise me somehow and the arcady combat was too fun.

[calendar]

Yeah, I too like Ys IX more than VIII overall. Traversing with the gifts just pure fun. In VIII I play the game consistently after Danna but in IX I play it without playing other game from start to finish. And now I'm really excited for the new Ys.

[eltigreduarte]

Tales of arise was so goated glad to see it getting love

[KarnmasterGaming]

I love hearing you gush over Trials of Mana!! That is one of my all time favorite Action RPGs now. I couldn't get enough of it, and I've been thinking about another playthrough of it!
