I’ve been playing Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, and the Suikoden vibe is completely there. I loved that game world, its mythos, the soft connections between the games. It contributed to the inspirational vibe, too.

What some of your JRPG worlds you really liked?

    NieR (Gestalt/Replicant), if it counts as a JRPG.

    Such a unique world created from a joke ending of a hacknslash series. Salt disease, floating talking magical books, and androids so life-like they have reproductive functions and gained their own consciousness somehow. Truly incredible.

    I liked the world building in XenoSaga Part 1 that I played, but that games boss design is literal garbage. Actual worst boss design I have ever had the displeasure of experiencing in a video game, ever. I’d rather play through Epic Mickey again with its tetrible camera angles, or sit through another 400hr Stellaris game complete with late-game lag than fight the DOMO Carrier or Pegsasus again. Self healing bosses, and not just self healing, but self healing every turn for more than your average party damage capacity.
