I was never into JRPG in general, to the point that I don’t feel the impulse to own a console. I guess it’s really preference as I can stomach old Western CRPG

I was never into JRPG in general, to the point that I don’t feel the impulse to own a console.
I guess it’s really preference as I can stomach old Western CRPGs such as Ultimate and such.
- dehrmann 3y agoEven Pokemon, the quintessential JRPG?
- hnthrowaway0315 3y agoNo, pretty much every one of them. I prefer darker, heavy themes. For example I love Double Dragon and Castlevania on NES but never enjoyed Mario or Zelda or such — found them too naive for my taste back in the day (was eight year old)
- dehrmann 3y agoPokemon's pretty dark. Where's Ash's father, exactly? And we're in this world where kids leave home to enslave monsters to fight other kids? Plus the local mafia also fights these kids?
- gettodachoppa 3y agoThere's a few darker JRPG games. Check out the Shadow Hearts series. It has a horror vibe/setting.
