![Tales of Vesperia - Definitive Edition Review - PS4 [Is it really the best in the series?] @HellFireRPGs](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/o86xpb2iZ8g/maxresdefault.jpg)
Uploaded December 2020 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago
Tales of Vesperia is one that I missed back in 2009, all those years ago. The fact that it was an Xbox 360 exclusive meant that it slipped through the cracks. In early 2019, Tales of Vesperia was finally made a lot more accessible with the Definitive Edition releasing modern consoles and PC. This definitive edition features a load of new content, including new characters, music, story content and side quests. Now, it still took me a good 18 months to finally pick this up and play it, even with my expectations being massive! So, what did I think? Watch this review to find out!

![Beast of Reincarnation - Review [The Reincarnation of GameFreak!]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/o9CB7lj99P8/mqdefault.jpg "Beast of Reincarnation - Review [The Reincarnation of GameFreak!]
If I could describe Beast of Reincarnation, I would say it feels a little like Nier Automata and plays a little like Sekiro, which are two of my favourite games of all time. But this Beast of a game also has a few innovative ideas that keep it feeling fresh, especially when it comes to the combat.
Now, some of the reviews out there have been on the mediocre side, and I personally believe that the game deserves more credit that it has got from some sources. Sure it has some issues, but I had a blast with it.
💬 Also, Id love to know what thought about the game, or if you plan on playing it in the future, so let me know in the comments below.

![Ranking the Trails Series [Sky series, Crossbell arc, Cold Steel series]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/oVMLkAzUmlY/mqdefault.jpg "Ranking the Trails Series [Sky series, Crossbell arc, Cold Steel series]
I recently finished playing through the entire Trails series in just a few months. One day, I casually started Trails of Cold Steel 1, not really knowing what I was in for, then, in the blink of the eye, all 9 games were completed.
Today, I’m going to attempt the difficult task of trying to rank all of these games. This is, of course, my opinion only, and I’m sure that many of you will think differently. From what I’ve seen, I know there are many different opinions out there, so I would also really like to know how you would rank the Trails games that you’ve played, so let me know in the comments.
I’m also going to try my hardest not to specifically spoil important plot points for you, but as these games are all directly linked, just seeing gameplay footage from certain games may give some minor things away.
If you liked this review, and the Trails series, it would help out a lot if you hit like and subbed if you want more RPG and Trails content.

![Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition - Review [Best Exploration RPG EVER!]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pEkjIMNqt7Y/mqdefault.jpg "Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition - Review [Best Exploration RPG EVER!]
It would be hard to name a series that has consistently had a higher standard of games than the Xeno series, and this is largely why it’s one of my favorite gaming series of all time.
Xenoblade Chronicles X was originally released in 2010, as a unrelated sequel to Xenoblade Chronicles. That game was my favorite game on the Wii, so naturally, I had huge expectations for the sequel on the Wii U.
While very different from its predecessor and the other titles in the Xenoblade series, it did not disappoint, and easily took the title of my favorite RPG on the Wii U console.
This game is great, and this review is going to dive deep into why you should give it a go!
A review code for this game was provided by Nintendo.

![Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth - Review [A very UNIQUE JRPG experience]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pOOUOSl3Vrw/mqdefault.jpg "Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth - Review [A very UNIQUE JRPG experience]
Valkyrie Profile was released for the PS1 in North America in the year 2000, and I would say it was about the 10th RPG that I played. It was not what I expected. Back then, developers Tri-Ace, gave us something completely different to the traditional RPG, and little ol’ me didn’t really understand what the hell I was doing.
Fast forward 20 years, and I remembered close to nothing about it, so, this playthrough of the recent PS5 port (Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth), was more or less a new experience for me.
What do you think about Valkyrie Profile? When did you first play the game? Let me know in the comments below.

Top 100 JRPGs of all time! Number 94: Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope
The JRPG genre has been evolving for around 40 years now. It has seen its share of ups and downs, but right now, its arguably in the best place that it has ever been. Since the early 80s, we’ve seen the releases of 1000s of JRPGs, or JRPG style titles, from hundreds of different developers, but it goes without saying that not all of them are created equally.
This series is going to look at the very best JRPGs ever made, or at least, my favorite. This is my personal top 100 JRPGs of all time! I’m certain my top 100 will be different to yours, so let me know your thoughts in the comments below. Is something too high? Is something too low, what do you think? 💬

So, it’s been about a year and a half since Nintendo had their last Nintendo Direct event. Yesterdays 50 minute presentation gave us a look at quite a few new RPGs and ports on the horizon, so I thought it would be a good idea to make a short video, recapping these RPGs, and giving my thoughts about what we have to look forward to.

The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails! This one was first released all the way back in 2012, as a PSP exclusive, and like many great JRPGs, it never left Japan. That is, until now , with the Legend of Nayuta HD remaster available on PS4, Switch and PC!
If you haven’t heard of this game before, you’re probably wondering. Does it have anything to do with the Trails series that we all know and love? Short answer, no. Nayuta is a spinoff, that doesn’t even take place in Zemuria, so there’s absolutely no requirement to have played any of the other trails game.
So, the question remains, is Legend of Nayuta worth playing? And does is have the magic of the other games in this epic series? Watch and find out.

30 odd years ago, I had my first experience with Pokemon Red. I was hooked. Seeing my favorite TV show in game form was absolutely mind blowing. This game was revolutionary, and the start of one of video game historys most successful franchises. Since then, nothing has really changed, but after 30 years, the evolution that I’ve been craving, has finally happened.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus finally changes up the formula, and has reignited my love for the series. Catching Pokémon has never been such an addictive experience, and this is one JRPG you should definitely look out for.
