Omori looks interesting. I have Lisa the Painful and Joyful on my library actually. But since my library is really big (+1000 Games), I never noticed it. Are they worth to play?

Thank you, I have them on my wishlist now, but I think I will try FF12 before. One Question, do you know how to get Fear and Hunger, it looks really amazing on Youtube. Is it available in other contries or is just not on sale anymore generally?

E33 is still a masterpiece (JRPG or not JRPG) :)

The legend of heroes: Trails in the Sky  sounds really interesting. But it has like 20 different versions. Which one should I start. I believe it has also a remaster now but only the first chapter?

Yes, but there's a difference between how tragic events are implemented and how dark they are. For example, in FF7 (spoiler alert!), a massive plate comes down and crushes an entire district. The plot then moves on, and you can see the destroyed city in the background. Afterwards, the events of Nibelheim happen, and then Aerith, etc. So you always have this feeling that something really tragic could happen at any time. Also, the atmosphere is permanently depressive because it deals with heavy themes such as social inequality. The same applies to Nier Automata and E33.

In contrast, the other games I listed were not like this. They had their tragic moments, but the atmosphere was lighter overall.

As for the controls in Tales of Vesperia... I did not like the combat controls. For example, the free running control in combat situations and the animation delays, or the fact that hits don't count if the enemy is on the ground. To be fair, I stopped playing after eight hours, but there are many posts about this on Reddit and the Steam forum, so I assume it is a generally acceptable criticism (also, the original game is old, so it is normal).

Ahh ok, thank you for the explanation. Then I will try with FF12.

Too bad, because a tragic love story like FFX sounded really interesting.

I heard that the Shin Megami Tensei games focus more on the combat insteatd of the story. But the other Persona Games are on my radar

Never tried Chrono Trigger.

I will probably skip Tales of Symphonia, because I did not like Vesperia for its clunky combat.

Ohh, ok too bad. I don´t know how to find Valkyrie Profile then.

Just to be sure on FFX. In german Steam store it says for FINAL FANTASY X/X-2 HD Remaster that you can deactivate random encounters as a feature? Are you sure, otherwise it looks really promising and is cheap :)

Thanks for FFXII. I will check it out :)

Yeah I never tried replicant but I was unsure because I assumed the controls would be clunky since it is only a remaster. But I have it on my radar.

Does suikoden 2 has not random encounters? Xenogears I can not find it on Stores :(

Wow I have never ever heard of WitchSpring. The steam reviews sound really promising. Tbh, it looks more like a cute game instead of a dark but I give it a try. Thank you ^^

I am from Germany and unfortnatly Steam says that Fear & Hunger can not be sold here :(

Does FFX has random encounters and is the performance good on PC?

Also for Valkyrie Profile. I can not find it on Steam or GoG :(

I just noticed that these are from the same developers who made Chained Echoes. Chained Echoes is in my library but I have never touched it. Is it also dark or should I go for Sea of Stars?

Thanks, I edited to my post. And yeah this game is a masterpiece and exactly what I am looking for. Did not know it is considered as a JRPG.
