What is your favorite JRPG with a dating sim element in it?
persona 3 reload is great in 2024 for beginner who want to get into the persona series while tales of arise is a great game for those who felt like I need to have more jrpg it also great idea to add fire emblem 3 houses since it kinda does have a dating sim element while it more a hangout game
Does SMT Devil Survivor counts?
Trails of Cold Steel Games (though the 3rd feels very limited in this regard) and the Persona games
Brave Soul JRPG
@@gamemaster21 What is Brave Soul?
A Growlancer reference? Me and the 16 other remaining fans salute you good sir.
this is exactly what I was thinking too, lol
Ah yes, fire emblem is my favorite dating sim
Tales of Arise is a beautiful game, the story itself is absolutely fantastic. Alphen and Shion are so well thought out too, I really like how their love grows throughout the game. Such a good game!
The problem with Trails of Cold Steel is Cold Steel 3, since Cold Steel let you romance one of multiple girls. Then Cold Steel 2 let you continue your choiced girl. But Cold Steel 3 says, "*uck your girl, i'll only let you pick one of 3 girls and if your picked girl is not there i don't care". Cold Steel 4 tries to fix that problem but the damage is done.
Furthermore, Cold Steel games give you multiple girls to choose but the story and events let you know pretty clear which girl it's the "cannon girl" that you should pick which can be a bit annoying.
Most of the fans dislike the romance system of Cold Steel, it's a mess and only works if you don't care enough about your choices. Trails in the Sy 1 and 2, it's a better choice, i mean, it hasn't a romance system but it has a better romance story.....one of the best in rpgs in my opinion.
for final fantasy base on my personal taste,
the best romance is squall and rinoa in the FF8
True
That mechanic alone most of the time (not all) is the reason why I got into and fell in love with JRPGs. The fact that you can date a cute anime girl of your choice really got me when I first found out about JRPGs back during 2020 and 2021 and it still does to this day.
Oh, Thousand Arms. That game is from my childhood.
Ah, I completely forgot about that game. I was 20 when it came out, but I still lived with my parents back then and they still dictated most of what I could do. My dad took me to the game store, and I was going to purchase it, but the clerk behind the counter literally said "You know this is a porn game, right?" Not only was I not allowed to buy it, but my dad was pissed at me for trying to "trick" him like that. Obviously I knew it wasn't porn game, but there was nothing I could do at the time. I never really thought about it since. Never played it, never even considered trying to purchase it again since I eventually forgot it was even a thing.
cheered when Alphen and Shionne kissed haha
Gave you a like just for having Petra in the thumbnail lol
A fellow man of culture I see.
From wich game is she?
â@@TagTheLegend did the thumbnail change? I only see Makoto, Ann, and Manuela.
yeah where's petra đ
My fav game of all time has romance in it, Eternal Sonata. It's such a sweet relationship too between Polka and Allegretto. There are other relationships like with Jazz and Claves (all the while 2 other women pine after him lol), but those 2 chars are the main focus. Allegretto's English VA deserves an award for one moment in the game near the end (which I won't spoil).
The Grandia games (1st 3 at least) have romance in them too. I never played the first one, I just heard it had romance in there, but I have played 2 and 3 (2's one of my fav games and 3 was a disappointment due to changes in the gameplay). Between 2 and 3, I do prefer the romance in 3 mostly because I am not a fan of love triangles (2's love triangle is basically what prevent it from being my fav game).
While it's not a main focus there is romance in Skies of Arcadia. I see the 3 main chars as friends, I never got any romance between Vyse and the 2 girls. However, there was an obvious romance between another playable char, Enrique and one of your crew members, Moegi. Heck, it's really funny when even Moegi's brother sets them up hehe.
Out of the ones mentioned, the only one I've played is RF5, but I haven't completed the main story because of one major reason, I am not a fan of the farming mechanics, they feel too complicated. Darn shame because I love everything else, especially the chars. I'll try to get back into it because I do want to finish the main story and get married and have kids. Most of the male LIs are awesome (I am a straight female btw).
NOICE! Also 10/10 thumbnail mate!
It is only a dating sim if player can choose among multiple romantic partners and be the match maker. Built in love story like FFX doesn't count as dating sim in my opinion.
My favorite has to to Fire Emblem series because not only you can pair up the protagonist, but also other characters and they all have different paired endings. FE4, in particular, is the best because each pairing affects the second generation. Children of said pairing will have different build depending on the father. I haven't seen any dating sim in RPG as deep as FE4 yet.
Now what I want from dating sim is to have real consequence on the story. imagine your loyal companions like Wakka, Lulu, and Yuna date somebody ELSE in FF10 and they become your enemies. Or a political match making with no romantic feelings to change the direction of the main story. For example, to turn a powerful foe into an ally. Or a very unlikely pairing that gives unexpected turn of events... the combination is limitless.
Conception II is on 3ds too btw
Yes it is. And I wonder when Spike Chunsoft will release Conception I and II on modern consoles, including the Switch, which is obviously a perfect fit for it. The also still haven't released the entire Zero Escape series that on system despite the fact that the first one was a Nintendo exclusive and following entries also released on 3DS as well. Its surprising that the entire series also released on Xbox of all places, the least popular console in the market right now.
@@PawapuroJRPGfan878 well,the zero escape series is on pc too,with better graphics and all,it wouldnt be much trouble porting it to the switch
@@isaias3700 I am not a PC person so that is why I want it on Switch. And yeah, Switch ports wouldn't be that troublesome. Its just strange that Spike Chunsoft has ported them yet for some reason. Not only would it make them a lot of money, but would also introduce many people to this series.
Good list can't say id agree with Rune factory 5 considering how they gutted the DLC option for some of the other girls, so 4 would be the better option.
Glad you included my favorite girl Makoto in the thumbnail!
I was actually surprised to see Cold Steel 1 on this list. It might be a little more appropriate to put one of the sequels there instead, but who am I to criticize a recommendation of one of my favorite games ever?
Xenogears.
Fei and Elly are lovers who has and will always be lovers throughout time. They are born, meet each other, fall in love, dies, and are reborn to meet each other again over and over. Kind of like Hawk Man and Hawk Girl. But you don't know that. You have to play the game to have that story slowly be revealed.
Dating Sim with no sex isn't my thing. Even with sex, the sex kind of sucks because you have almost no control over it. I rather have The Sims with sex mods than Dating Sims.
Great list, too bad I know all of these and played most of them :D
Maybe do a list for straight up dating sims? Or VN/dating sim hybrids? Id give that a watch for sure.
You deserve it i am going to subscribe to you now will you hopefully make a top 10 favorite waifus and top 10 favorite characters of final Fantasy and top 10 of kingdom hearts charachters pleaseđđđ»
Man what'd you do to Manuela's face in the thumbnail.
Thousand Arms is one not enough people talk about. It wasn't perfect, but it has a lot of interesting qualities, and to this day I still remember quite a bit of it ... most definitely including the huge cliffhanger ending. I'd be curious how many have actually played this one. The dating elements were a novelty back then. I did not know they led to different endings though. Especially since there were some natural couplings between the characters already. Still, it was a good game in many ways, and it's a little sad it's stuck back on the PS1. I'm generally not a fan of dating elements in games, even though I will do them. The romance aspect almost always feels forced. Give me a narratively driven love story intigral to the plot, such as Lunar, Ff10 or Tales of Arise any day.
conception 2 was such a gem of a game.
I prefer Conception 1
Thousand Arms was a great game but it's SOOOOOO hard to find nowadays.
You choose 3 houses really the past entries had better romance and marriage
Ar tonelico?
Technically Sakura Wars 2019 is not JRPG it's Visual Novel / Dating Sim but in full 3D, 90% of game is reading / 10% gameplay (and this is a reason why casuals mistake this game series with JRPG, because Sakura Wars 2019 is first game from this genre in full 3D, it's much closer to Shenmue than traditional Visual Novel with 2D sprites). Sakura Wars don't have traditional RPG elements like leveling up, itemization, grind etc. but instead of that (in previous games) you boost stats for upcoming battle with each heroine by interactions in Visual Novel segments. So it's pure Dating Sim with ,,gameplay''. Previous games in series were also prototype to Valkyria Chronicles series (same dev team), battle system ARMS from Sakura Wars 3-5 was improved later into BlitZ in Valkyria Chronicles,
My problem with like half of these games is that I'm only interested in dating men hahahah.
You can help making more girls play jrpg with dating sims, so husbandos will be more viable for companies to develop
Fair enough
Tidus and Yuna love story. Best in gaming. No other games compare
no mention of ar tonelico tho đ„đ„
3 girls on preview: 2 from persona 5. Where from third one?
Manuela from fire emblem three houses
tidus and yuna are the best romance ever
Cold Steel shouldn't have a dating sim feature. The story obviously shoves Alisa Reinford in your face, so they should've made that the canon one, instead of the 20 girls by the end of the tetralogy.
Weaboos UNITE!
Ai face manuela jumpscare
No Dragon Quest 11?
I mean...
Technically you can only marry one person there, the others are roomies. Plus there's no dating sim element at all, you beat a boss and ask him to let you marry someone. So yeah
the fact that sakura wars is still not on steam, is a fucking crime
Because it sold bad (in West) on PS4 + Toshihiro Nagoshi, and Hatsune Miku team are Playstation biased. Hatsune Miku dev team is also too small to doing high budget and multiplatform games, while rest of Sega teams are busy with milking Sonic, Puyo Puyo and Yakuza. Plus same release date with Persona 5 Royal and Final Fantasy VII Remake ...
More criminal is why this game is not also on Switch, where Switch is best selling console in Japan + Sakura Wars is popular only in Japan.
