WTF is wrong with the JRPG genre? Why can't we good a good modern one that doesn't looks like a upscaled PS2 game?

Why? Just put on anime portraits in the lower third/dialogue box and coomnigs and tranimefags go nuts and empty their wallets

because if you made it good it wouldnt be a jrpg

Because they're made by Japanese developers who are perpetually a console generation behind

Nips are cheapskates so companies are giving their codemonkeys 10 year old workstations so they can make their games

>JRPG
Stop calling this anime trash RPG. They are not real roleplaying games, fuck off.

Graphics have gotten good enough. What are you expecting out of the game's graphics?

Ahoy there, neckbeard. When was the last time you bathed?

lol does tranny hackers 2 really look like that?

If those look like PS2 games to you, I'm curious about what how do you think what stuff like Divinity, Wasteland, Pillars, Diablo 4, etc....look like.

>same shitty, current year, soulless, spreadsheet UI

this is worse to me than PS2 graphics

The AAA Jap devs aren't making JRPGs anymore, they all about the ARPGs now.

Admit it JRPGs are budget games now.

Top left and bottom right definitely look like ps2. The other two look like ps3.

graphics don't matter

A Japanese ARPG is a JRPG, genius. There are two in OP's picture.

Okay but what do I actually gain from graphics improving in jrpgs? The art direction is still in tact even with lower quality graphics. Only thing that would happen is the genre would become harder to produce games for, meaning games would have to dumb down and appeal to a larger crowd of people to make more money back. A lot of smaller jrpgs series and companies will either go without games since they cant make enough money to support the increased cost of workers for these graphics or just like the larger jrpgs, have to do things to appeal to a larger crowd of people. Give me PS2 and Vita looking games that have great art direction and dont take hundreds of millions to make anyday.

What the fuck. I only recognize the top 2. Am I losing my touch? Or are the children wrong?

this 100%

Bottom left is the new Star Ocean and bottom right is Soul Hackers 2. Neither are out yet

If you really want to get into it there are barely any video games that qualify as RPGs, like two maybe three.

I hope it's Japan only. Too many world wide releases nowadays.

Star ocean releasing worldwide in October and Soul Hackers 2 releases in August worldwide one day the japanese release

These look great though.

People still use the term "it looks like PS2" in a pejorative way, lol.
PS3/PS4 JRPGs wish they could be as good as PS2 ones.
Tales of the Abyss, Tales of Destiny R, Tales of Rebirth, Tales of Symphonia
FFX/XII
Dragon Quest VIII
Valkyrie Profile 2
Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne
DDS1&2
Xenosaga Episode III
Star Ocean 3
Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song

Basically mows down most of their PS3/PS4/Switch counterparts and sequels.

I'd rather have a bunch of Jap games that look like ps3 games than CINEMATIC SO REEL Westshit
