![]() ![]() I must emphasise this is not a complete list. What I’ve done is selected ten JRPGs that were released after Final Fantasy VII and before the PlayStation 4/ Xbox One that show that the genre has continued to offer clever narratives, interesting combat systems, innovation and tradition alike. So I’ve decided to use the Friday ten list this week to highlight, using examples, how nonsense Moriarty’s article is. Not quick turnarounds, painfully cliche characters and stories, and lowest common denominator-like tripe that somehow gets confused for JRPGs these days,” then you know he’s writing nonsense, since these traits have never left the genre. When he makes a statement like this: “But evidence is mounting that it’s coming back, with an emphasis on story and characters, statistics and combat. Or, in other words, Moriarty’s article is nonsense. But when the bulk of the games that he references between the release of Final Fantasy VII and Ni No Kuni comes from Square Enix or Namco Bandai, one has to wonder if Moriarty has had enough exposure to the genre to form such an opinion. Then he seems to argue that it’s actually quality that determines the JRPG genre’s relevance. But then he suggests that indie games – games that are certainly not going to have the impact of Final Fantasy VII – are returning the genre to its glory days. On the one hand Moriarty implies that relevance is tied to prominence – that a game like Final Fantasy VII brought the genre into the mainstream and then the idea that no JRPG since has had that level of impact since is a sign that the genre has faded. First he points to Ni No Kuni and Bravely Default as games that are showing that the genre is again returning to its glory days, and then writes “And then there’s the future, a future heavily occupied by smaller, independent studios that are doing their best to give JRPG fans what they want, even if the big guys in the industry won’t.” He then argues that the genre is primed to make a comeback. And it wasn’t at all obvious if they were coming back, no matter how many Phoenix Downs you threw at it, or how powerful your cure magic was.” “By the time Final Fantasy XIII came around, it was clear that the glory days weren’t only gone. “Before anyone knew what happened, the genre’s lauded quality from the last decade of the previous century gave way to something that, for many gamers, fans or not, became a laughingstock,” Moriarty argues. When fightning him, it is advisable to either lure him to Bernahl or away from him, therefore making it a 1v1 encounter.Earlier this week, over at IGN, Colin Moriarty penned an opinion piece titled “ Are JRPGs primed for a comeback?” His thesis?
