      Oh, kind of missed that. Recommendations for a great modern JRPG in the classic style?

        CrossCode - this isn’t a jrpg nor a classic style per ser but I’d say it’s heavily inspired by them. I’ve been playing it for a while and it really is a gem of a game. Check it out if it your thing.

        Other modern games which are a jrpgs that I haven’t played but heard good things are Chained Echoes and Octopath Traveller. Those are akin to modern retro classic style jrpgs

          I love seeing all the CrossCode recommendations, and on Lemmy of all places. Here I thought no one knew about it!

          Easily my favorite game of all time. I don’t think it ever drops the ball, the combat is awesome, the story is incredible, and the characters are so well written that you’ll think they’re actually real people.

          The biggest criticism is the game’s puzzles, but they aren’t really as bad as some (very impatient) people make them out to be, and there are options to decrease the difficulty of the puzzles.

            Dude I had CrossCode on my steam wishlist for like 4 years or so and never thought much about it, until I watched a video. It basically said to no let games like this one die in obscurity when they deserve the attention and engagement AAA games receive. That video highly praised CrossCode, which got my attention.

            So I bought it on last Steam sale and fuck, I wholeheartedly agree with that video. I just beat my first dungeon and got the fire element and it’s such a beautiful game - the characters being one of my favorite aspects. It’s painfully sad how severely underrated CrossCode is. It needs more praise so I’m doing my best to raise awareness of it lol.

            Wouldn’t be surprised if this game becomes one of my favorites.
