Xenogears was a masterpiece. That legend of dragoon, legend of legaia, Final Fantasy tactics and FF9 are my fav PS games of all time.
-
Xenogears, Front Mission and Super Robot Taisen always the first things that pops up in my mind when hearing Mech RPG...
-
13 sentinels aegis rim is an honorable mention for me. Technically its a visual novel, but it has some elements of mecha jrpg. And the story and characters are amazing!
-
SRW needs SO much more recognition, that series is criminally underrated
-
Ahh, Xenogears. My favorite JRPG of all time, followed by Legend of Legaia and Legend of Dragoon. I really wish there were more Front Mission games, 3 and 4 are my favorite. It's a shame the West doesn't get any more. Nowadays, I get my mecha tactics fix with BattleTech on PC.
-
Ms Saga for ps2 was not received well but I love it. You pilot mechs into turn based battles. It’s 100 dollars or more nowadays but I have two copies that I bought cheap when the ps2 was being phased out.
-
Xenogears is my favorite JRPG ever. Playing that game as a kid made me so hyped and happy in a way that other JRPGs didnt do. You got everything in that game amazing anime cutscenes, great character design, a story thats good enough to in an anime, beautiful sound track, unique battle system and you control both your pilot and your mech.
-
IAS doesn't just make Fist of Mars too easy; it makes it a cake walk. All you have to do is spin your reticle in a circle around the screen and you can reliably avoid damage forever.
-
I found this video randomly. Seeing more and more love for Xenogears on youtube and I couldn't be happier. Continue spreading the word. That game is special and deserves more than becoming dead media.
-
I definitely think Super Robot Wars could've been covered better. Describing the differences between the Original Generation games and the more mainline games, some of the anime series included that people would be more familiar with (Gundam, Evangelion, Macross, etc), showcasing the different games chronologically etc.
-
You nailed it with Xenogears.....EPIC....such great storytelling....suspenseful....building up tension and intrigue. My top RPG by far for these reasons.
-
SRW Original generations series is a crossover of all the some of the earlier SRW protags in one original setting. Rio, Ryoto, Leone, tasuki, kusuha, bullet, carla and Yuuki came from alpha 1, although Carla and yuuki got introduced in OG2 while the rest are in OG1. Masaki, Lune and shu are from Masou kishin. some of the supporting characters appeared in 2nd OG. Kyosuke, excellen and alfimi are from Impact/compact 2. and there's many more got included like from earlier titles like MX, A, D, J, etc.
-
Glad I searched mecha JRPG on youtube and found this channel. Really good quality content I'm surprised this hasn't blow up yet
-
Xenogears was the most difficult rpg I finished in the 90s, and it was worth the sewer level to get the whole story.
-
Holy crap I've been trying to remember what Ring of Red and Front Mission were for so many years! I had the visuals in my head but could not for the life of me find what the the hell the games were until now 😭... thank you so much. Keep up the magic!
-
I was a big fan of MS Saga : A new dawn. It's an SD style tactical RPG with a lot of customization on mecha. It's not set in any particular gundam universe but the suits components all come from various gundam series. You can mix and match and create some fairly fun looking mecha. Pretty underrated PS2 RPG.
-
Much respect for including SRW. And I'm definitely gonna try out Ring of Red sometime.
-
I loved the inclusion of Super Robot Wars, although I do have a few comments in the way it was shown. First is a minor one, that you started by showing Masou Kishin (Which is an OG game with no licensed stuff) yet didn't talk about it. And second, glossing over the games with fantranslations. There are a few fantranslated SRW games that some prefer over the new ones!
-
I freaking LOVED RIng of Red. Really intense, but thoughtful, combat. Dieselpunk-ish mechs. Would love a Switch or PC remaster.
-
Steambot chronicles was my top fav rpg on the ps2 alongside the artonelico series, such a shame that Irem had to shutdown its games division and cancel the sequel due to the tohoku earthquake...I really hope Granzella, which is mostly staffed by people from the original teams at Irem, would one day be able to acquire the rights to the series or develop a spiritual successor
