Top 10 JRPG Terbaik untuk Nintendo Switch

The Nintendo Switch has had a long life, and one genre of game that thrived on the system would be JRPGs. If you want to give it one last hurrah before Nintendo's next system launches, here's a list of ten of the best JRPGS you can get on it.

While there have been hundreds upon hundreds of JRPGs released for the Switch, this list is going to focus on original games that were released for the system, so no ports of older games from past generations like Final Fantasy VII or Baten Kaitos. Game multi-platform akan dipertimbangkan juga, tetapi kita kebanyakan akan memperhitungkan apakah game awalnya dirilis pada sakelar dan jika versi terbaik dari game ini dirilis pada sakelar. So amazing games that have terrible ports, like Kingdom Hearts III , won't be eligible because the definitive version mostly certainly isn't on the Switch.

With that said, here are the ten best JRPGs on the Nintendo Switch, in alphabetical order!

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim

When 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim launched on PS4 in 2020, it received a solid critical reception and sold around 300,000 units according to Atlus. In 2022, after the Switch port, sales managed to increase to the point where it sold over 1 million units. I'd like to think that it's because of the Switch version of the game that 13 Sentinels garnered the commercial success that it did, thanks to the beautiful visuals that look great on the Switch both in docked and handheld mode.

The story of 13 Sentinels is absolutely superb and while the gameplay leaves a little bit to be desired, the differing perspectives of the cast and the ways the narrative twists and turns is something that needs to be seen to be believed. Sure, 13 Sentinels was a good game before it came to the Switch, but the Switch's unique hardware made it a system-defining masterpiece.

Bravely Default II

In an era where JRPGs have a lot of modern conveniences to make them more approachable and easier, Bravely Default II is the perfect blend of both old-school difficulty and modern sensibilities. Bravely Default II expands on the job-based mechanics of the earlier games, but also upgrades the visuals of the series from the 3DS to the Switch, with certain environments looking highly impressive. Selalu ada pesona tertentu untuk permainan dengan begitu banyak pekerjaan yang tersedia sehingga memungkinkan Anda untuk membuat komposisi dan karakter partai yang dapat menghancurkan kesulitan permainan, tetapi sifat risiko-hadiah dari sistem pemberani dan default menambah kompleksitas yang bahkan lebih kompleksitas pada pertemuan pertempuran dasar. The series may have lost some notoriety over time, but don't sleep on Bravely Default II.

Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of An Elusive Age

I'd like to think that it's popular opinion by now that Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of An Elusive Age is the best Dragon Quest game, but nobody expected the definitive version of the game to be a timed exclusive on the Switch. Segala sesuatu tentang permainan dasar masih ada, termasuk gameplay yang hebat dan karakter yang disukai, tetapi presentasi menjadi lebih baik berkat soundtrack yang diatur dan mode 2D baru yang membuat game ini terlihat seperti game SNES klasik. Add in the portability that the Switch offers, and you have the best version of an already great game that found its home on the Switch.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Fire Emblem experienced a bit of a renaissance in the 2010s, and the culmination of that period was Fire Emblem: Three Houses . Selain mekanika strategi yang terkenal dengan seri ini, kami mendapat beberapa elemen SIM di mana Anda mengajar siswa yang pada akhirnya akan menjadi tentara Anda, secara alami memungkinkan Anda untuk mengeksplorasi percakapan dukungan dengan cara yang jauh lebih alami.

Dengan empat kampanye yang berbeda untuk dimainkan, masing -masing yang bertahan lama pada puluhan jam, ada begitu banyak konten dan pemutaran ulang yang dapat Anda habiskan berbulan -bulan bermain ini dan masih memiliki banyak hal untuk ditemukan di Biara Garreg Mach.

Live A Live

No one was expecting a full remake of Live A Live, but when it was announced at a 2022 Nintendo Direct, people went nuts. Game SNES asli adalah klasik yang tidak pernah terlokalisasi di Barat, jadi melihat remake penuh yang membuat Anda mengendalikan delapan karakter yang dapat dimainkan dari generasi dan genre adalah pendukung hebat ke perpustakaan JRPG Switch. Ini bukan permainan yang rumit, dengan masing -masing dari tujuh bab awal yang berlangsung satu atau dua jam, tetapi semuanya bersatu dalam bab terakhir yang menyatukan semua orang. It's a cult classic for a reason, and now Westerners can finally see what the hype was all about.

Octopath Traveler

As the vanguard of Square Enix's “HD-2D” push that gave us games like Live A Live and Dragon Quest III: HD-2D Remake , Octopath Traveler sold itself to audiences on its visuals alone. The sprite work present in the game is simply gorgeous and makes environments and character models really pop. Like Live A Live, players take on the role of eight different characters, each with their own story and motivations, but unlike its spiritual predecessor, these characters come together much earlier to form a larger and more interesting party of adventurers.

The Break and Boost system adds some interesting layers to combat, offering a balanced approach to combat and approaching enemy weaknesses. Both Octopath games are excellent, but if I had to choose only one, then the original game is slightly better for how fresh its mechanics feel.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Regardless of whether this game is considered more of a remake than a remaster, updating one the best GameCube RPGs for modern audiences is almost guaranteed to make Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door one of the best JRPGs on the Switch. The action-based commands that made the original game so engaging are back and it's still fun after 20 years. But Nintendo didn't just rest on their laurels when they brought The Thousand-Year Door to the Switch. They tweaked a few gripes from the original game to make it more convenient to play, as well as add a slew of new optional challenges that will make veteran Paper Mario fans sweat. Add in the game's quirky sense of humor that still holds up after all this time, and you have a Switch JRPG that shouldn't be slept on.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus

Pokemon was in desperate need of an evolution. With only a few exceptions, the franchise had remained stagnant in its mechanics and presentation for well over a decade. Pokemon Legends: Arceus was that evolution. With several massive areas to explore and a return to the “gotta catch 'em all” mentality, Arceus made searching for new Pokemon fun in a way that the main games had difficulty capturing for several generations.

Pokemon battles were still present, including arguably the hardest fight in the entire series, but the risks this spin-off took were so well-received they overshadowed Scarlet and Violet's attempt to replicate it. Plenty of Pokemon games came out on the Switch, but Legends: Arceus was the best.

Sea of Stars

The Switch was a beacon for Indie developers and games, and few received as much praise as Sabotage Studio's Sea of Stars . Inspired by games like Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana , Sea of Stars excels with its moment-to-moment gameplay, where every decision the player makes can make or break a battle. Pekerjaan sprite sangat bagus, ceritanya menarik dan diisi dengan beberapa momen emosional yang hebat dan set potongan yang akan melekat pada Anda selama beberapa waktu, dan musiknya hanya sensasional. The best part about it? Sabotage Studio kept updating it even after it was released, adding in a three-player co-op campaign and creating a sizeable free piece of DLC. It is, by far, one of the most polished Indie games on the Nintendo Switch.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3

Over the course of the Switch's life, the Xenoblade Chronicles series has slowly become Nintendo's defacto RPG series for the system. With three mainline games on the system, including a remake of the original game, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is by far the most accessible game in the series. Dengan banyak kelas pekerjaan untuk dipilih dan dunia besar untuk dijelajahi, pemain dapat dan akan tenggelam di dunia Aionis sampai tingkat yang tidak mungkin di salah satu game sebelumnya. Memang, permainan bisa dibilang mendorong saklar melampaui titik puncaknya dengan beberapa kinerja yang tidak konsisten dan membingkai masalah, tetapi jika Anda bersedia mengabaikan masalah teknis itu, Anda akan menemukan permainan raksasa yang memohon untuk dieksplorasi.
