The story in Ni no Kuni is top-notch, as you can expect from a game backed by the genius Hayao Miyazaki and the team at Studio Ghibli. Using monsters to battle in real-time action while avoiding attacks is the name of the game here.īoth Ni no Kuni and Octopath Traveler have similar JRPG elements and only differ with regard to their turn-based/real-time action polarity.
Inspired by Studio Ghibli movies, Ni no Kuni takes players on a fantasy adventure. Ni no Kuni is a popular JRPG franchise, despite only having a few games under its belt. If you’re interested, check out our thoughts on Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology here.1. This updated version adds upon the original adventure with some new artwork, events, dungeons, support systems, and much more. Ultimately, the key to winning battles is by being creative with your attacks and exploiting elemental weaknesses. Using character skills, players can move enemies around a 3×3 field and string them together, creating different chain attacks and combos. Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology follows the typical turn-based combat, but with an interesting twist. Like Octopath Traveler, players can switch between different scenarios and uncover the main quest line that leads to the true ending. Joining Stocke is a group of ragtag individuals that each have their own reasons for being a part of the group, such as the rebellious Princess Eruca and the adorable Aht. The game follows a man named Stocke who stumbled across a mysterious book known as the White Chronicle, enabling him to travel between two alternate histories in an attempt to stop a war and a sandy plague known as Desertification. This also adds another layer of strategy in the combat, forcing players to spend their turns wisely.Ī hidden gem in the treasure trove of JRPGs, Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology is the remaster of the DS classic that launched back in 2010. Just like Octopath Traveler, heroes in this game can save up to four turns (or Brave Points) and unleash a flurry of attacks in one go. However, what brings Bravely Default and Octopath Traveler together is the BP system.
Players can freely swap between any class for each character and even assign them skills from other jobs, making for different character builds and abilities. While there are only four characters in the game, Bravely Default does boast a job system with over 20 classes to choose from. Bravely Default has the makings of a traditional Japanese role-playing game with its turn-based battles and a strong emphasis on its condensed cast, something Octopath Traveler hadn’t exactly dabbled in. This 3DS title follows four friends on a journey to help the Vestal of Wind, Agnes Oblige, to awaken the Four Crystals across Luxendarc. Another Square Enix game, Bravely Default takes plenty of cues from Final Fantasy and turns it into its own JRPG masterpiece.
