Don't know where you've been looking, but I haven't seen many people say this. It's definitely one of the best jRPG's of this gen, and I highly recommend it.

My time with the Switch Demo and just various rumblings I've seen around in ResetEra in the Definitive Edition unveiling and a thread we had here a while back about "games that put you to sleep" or something close to it.

Games that (literally) put you to sleep

I remember playing Mario & Luigi Dream Team (fitting eh) and falling asleep minutes after. It was almost like magic I swear. I'd say it was a mix of the game being super boring and having chill music. What's your sleep inducing games?

DQXI is mentioned at least three times in the first page alone.

Greedfall? Hell yeah! That's been on my Steam wishlist for awhile now, and I was totally gonna buy and play that when I went through more of my backlog. Excited to play that now!

Haven, Call of the Sea, Dragon Quest and Control all look interesting as well, though I am slightly disappointed that Control is console/streaming only as I would prefer to play that with keyboard and mouse, but I am happy it is being added at all.


Does beg the question of how long negotiations are, seeing as how Phil casually mentioned Control as a game pass addition some time last year in an interview
I doubt it's down the length of time for negotiation, rather that they / the publisher schedules it

Was holding out faint hope it was the ultimate edition of Control but I'm not surprised. I might just pick it up since I already played base Control on the PS4.

Awesome first half of the month otherwise though. Glad I held off The Impossible Liar and Yes, Your Grace. Haven, Call of the Sea, and Unto the End also look interesting. Also, if you haven't played Va-11 Hall-A, please do so. It is fantastic.

I've been curious about Va-11 Hall-A, so I'll be giving that a try for sure.

Really excited for Doom Eternal. I bought it at launch and played it on One X, but now I have a PC that can run it and I'm itching to jump back in.

holy shit this is a great month. Haven, Superhot, Yooka Yaylee Impossible Lair, Call of the Sea, and Unto the End will all be played

DQXI, Doom, and Control are all great for people who haven't played them

Wait, what happened to the Final Fantasy games though? They were supposed to come out in 2020...

All these games:
  • Final Fantasy VII
  • Final Fantasy VIII: Remastered
  • Final Fantasy IX
  • Final Fantasy X: HD Remastered
  • Final Fantasy X-2: HD Remastered
  • Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age
  • Final Fantasy XIII
  • Final Fantasy XIII-2
  • Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII
  • Final Fantasy XV

This isn't the full December list, so there's still a chance it's coming in the second December batch.

LOL at 505 Games locking 60fps/Ray Tracing behind the Ultimate edition, then putting the regular edition on GamePass.

Ohhh, Yooka Laylee! Cool, wanted to play it because I like 2d platformera but never got around to buying it. Cool.

Every month there is something interesting. Heard this Yooka-Laylee is actually good and I love the style of platformer. Some other things I'm interested in too but we'll see if I have time. Control and DQ11 are awesome too.

(only for new GPU members)

for those that haven't tried Xbox Game Pass Ultimate yet, for a limited time starting December 3 you can get your first
three months for $1! That's all the games we already have, plus everything coming soon here below, all our Perks (like 30 days of Disney+!), and starting December 15 all the EA Play titles on PC as well. *Slaps roof of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate * You can fit a lot of games in here for just $1!

"Shrugs", well if you made a thread about the best jRPG's of this gen, DQ XI would have a lot more mentions than three I'm guessing. Eh, whatever.

Edit: What are the best current gen JRPGs & which ones in 2020 look really good? | ResetEra

Heh, just a google search yielded this. My post is there too lol.

So, basically, tastes differ.

How the fuck is the second December batch of games gonna compare to this lol. Jesus, so many amazing games to play that Control is at the bottom of my list. It's not my favorite Remedy game, though, so that helps lower it...but still.

Jesus what a (first half) of a month.

Just picked up Control on sale, but will keep it as it is the one with the next gen upgrade.

Will definitely be playing Dragon Quest and Call of the Sea. Think with all these games dropping I might try hold off playing Cyberpunk until the next gen patch.

I don't understand why vanilla Control continues to exist. Its also available on the store for purchase. Its pretty fucking scummy to have it up and cost more than Ultimate edition.

I've read Yooka-Laylee 2 being compared to the classic DKC trilogy, so yeah, can't wait to try it.

Oh wow, Dragon Quest XI S! Just finished this game on the Switch and thought it was fantastic. Any Xbox JRPG folks out there, don't miss it!

No need to wait for DQ you can play the demo and it transfers over. Seems to be long. Still trying to get my head round JRPGs. Really don't like the turn based combat. Would prefer DQ Builders 2 style combat.
