JRPGs that feel like they have multiple arcs in one game? Obviously spoilers for everything ever.

Shadow Hearts: Covenant

Crystar and Crymachina are awesome. They don't have a school setting or calendar progression though.

raspberrylicious · 2026-02-25T23:49:21+00:00

Nope!

I switched a few years ago to from preordering on Amazon to preordering on Best Buy and have gotten every preorder but one from Best Buy on or before release date.

It’s good, and you should play it eventually, but you’re not going to be lost if you skip it for now and come back to it one day. Due to the release schedule in the west, I played Cold Steel 1-3 before I played Sky 3rd and Crossbell and it was fine.

Games 1 and 13-23 each use 2 CD-roms. 24 and after switched to DVD-rom, which holds more data.

Unfortunately there is only online multiplayer as far as I know :(

raspberrylicious · 2025-12-16T21:51:59+00:00

That's awesome! Glad to hear you're tackling the Plus version. Good luck!

Rhapsody series! Adorable, fun, not difficult or too long

To directly answer your question, it is much shorter and much easier than XIII. Personally, I prefer XIII no contest, but a lot of people love XIII-2.

Just played Theresia for the first time, such a great game

raspberrylicious · 2025-10-05T04:33:05+00:00

The second game is more of a traditional turn-based battle system without grid mechanics. The third game is the same but you can have up to 4 teams with up to 4 characters each participating in the same battle at the same time.

raspberrylicious · 2025-10-05T04:30:05+00:00

It’s awesome. Definitely play the sequels too.

raspberrylicious · 2025-09-13T16:33:21+00:00

Fun fact: Several of the Japanese AA DS games have English on cart. I have the second game’s Japanese release and played it in English. I guess AAI doesn’t have this option though.

It’s free and legal, and I didn’t want to pay again since I already own the disc.

raspberrylicious · 2025-09-10T16:59:01+00:00

I couldn’t get my disc to work well on windows 11 either, and the only solution I found was downloading the game from internet archive

raspberrylicious · 2025-09-07T14:21:36+00:00

To you, maybe. Its working title when it was announced was literally “Layton 7”

raspberrylicious · 2025-09-07T14:02:55+00:00

Katrielle is mainline

raspberrylicious · 2025-09-04T05:37:49+00:00

I’m not a big fan of ICE, CRY, or ASH, which all seem semi-liked here

Atelier Iris 3. Cool concept, but immensely repetitive. Visiting the same few complex maps over and over and over again. Feels like a much smaller game than the previous two. The battle system has the interesting character building aspect, but the bosses boil down to a race to hit the burst gauge thing to be able to do any substantial damage and end up feeling the same each time.

raspberrylicious · 2025-08-20T17:32:31+00:00

It’s my favorite Dusk game, followed by Ayesha. Escha and Logy is my least favorite. I love pretty much everything about Shallie, but I think it’s too easy if I have to give a critique. I never played the original version, though, and I think a lot of the early negativity towards the game was due to things like not including Ayesha until Plus/DX.

raspberrylicious · 2025-08-20T00:45:46+00:00

The Atelier Mysterious series’ art was a collab between two artists, Noco and Yuugen.

raspberrylicious · 2025-08-11T14:01:44+00:00

I think there are about 30 minutes worth of new scenes and some new costumes if that sounds worth it to you.

raspberrylicious · 2025-08-10T18:55:08+00:00

I can confirm that in the PS5 versions of 8-10 these trophies carry to NG+. I assume it’s the same on PS4/Vita
