![]() ![]() ![]() The game is for the most part a JRPG but features tiny minigames mid-combat instead of a dice roll that many JRPGs choose to use. Grimm’s Hollow features a really nice GBA-esque gothic art style and cute characters that really give the game personality and have it stand out among its other free to play competitors. Echoes of AetheriaĪ free to play RPG that’s actually good? Sign me up. ![]() Their titles on consoles are still JRPG and a better way to collect Pokemon than running around IRL and swiping up on your phone. PokemonĪnother title that needs no introduction, just like Final Fantasy Pokemon is a long-standing franchise featuring JRPG titles over the course of many console generations, however, unlike FF, Pokemon has branched out to non-JRPG games like Pokemon Go. This can also be a good way to introduce JRPGs to the newer generation. It is not easy to talk about Final Fantasy without specifying which generation we’re talking about.įinal fantasy(s) have been releasing since 1987 to the present time, however, for the purposes of the comparison, I’d say you can pretty much pick up any title you wish as they are all RPG but newer titles have moved to 3-D real-time action style, and while this may make seasoned players shake their heads. Final Fantasyĭoes this game even need an introduction? Japanese sure have a way of making successful franchises stay around for a while be they puzzle games like Puyo Puyo to classic JRPGs like Final Fantasy. So without further ado, allow me to present my list of 15 games like Golden Sun. It even featured the option to save anywhere mid-game, something very rare at the time. I also appreciated the length of the dungeons in-game as it seems like, unlike other GBA games Golden Sun knows it’s a handheld and as such should cater more to short pick up put down sessions rather than one hour-long session. There are plenty of things I appreciated about Golden Sun, its use of Psynergy (fancy word for magic) and how it could be used off the combat mode, for solving puzzles using something like whirlwind to reading minds (to solve more puzzles). The lack of checkpoint markers, a 3-D world and real-time action will deter most of our generation to play this game and appreciate it for what it is – a product of its time. Games like Golden Sun aren’t everyone’s appeal, newer gamers will be less prone to give the classic JRPGs a try. Golden Sun is a lesser-known title for the GBA, developed by Camelot it was released in 2001 subsequent titles saw the generation change in consoles moving from the GBA to the DS for the third title. Before Nintendo DS and PSP were a thing, players used to rely on the good old GBA for their portable entertainment, most will remember the GBA for the Pokemon or Final Fantasy titles as that was what the console did best (in my opinion). ![]()
