I was working on this list for myself, so the choices reflect what I am looking forward to. Please reply with rpgs you are looking forward to.

RPGs still coming in 2021 that you can be excited for
- Thread starter Tailzo
- Start date
Im confident in Starfield releasing this year so that
also Im gonna finally jump into the dlc for Outer Worlds once the last one comes out, cautiously optimistic for Pokemon Shine bright like a diamond, The Ascent, and Cris Tales, I'm sure there's plenty I'm missing that are on my steam list.
OMG how can I forget my most anticipated game of the year freaking Mass Effect remaster.

I've just started Bravely Default 2. After that Im looking forward to the dungeon crawl Savior of Sapphire Wings next month.
Then the Switch port of Ys IX in June, and Monster Hunter Stories in the summer.
The Outer Worlds DLC I've got my eye on, also SMTIII and SMTV.

I hope you're right about Starfield. I need to read about The Ascent, I only know the name.
Cris Tales had a demo that was really good, and it is coming for gamepass this summer I think?
I think it is among my most awaited rpgs. I love original rpgs.
I kinda want to play SMT 3, which is dated for Spring 2021 but, it doesn't have a firm date yet so it'll probably slip to later this year.
Also, RPG site is classifying Loop Hero as RPG, although its probably more Rogue Like than RPG. The early footage makes the game look really good though.

There will be many games I want to play:
Mass Effect Legendary Edition
Tales of Arise (if it will get a 2021 release)
Diablo 2 Resurrected
Nier Replicant
Yuffie DLC for FF 7 Remake Intergrade
Horizon Forbidden West (but I think it will release in 2022)
Mass Effect Legendary Edition

This.
I'm also going to play the Mass Effect remaster. Love sci-fi RPGs.

I would love to see those games this year. I'll be crossing my fingers for you too :)
Ummm I don't see Elden ring...
Sounds like someone has gone hollow
also I'm pretty confident on starfield and super excited to see what that is!

Tales of Arise, the JRPG I'm excited and looking forward to the most. Between the understandable delay out of last year and the lack of news for almost 2 years now the wait has been painful. I don't think we've gotten any new news, screenshots or info, other than the delay news about the game since it was first announced at E3 2019
Game looks incredible. I really hope it releases this year.
I want Tales of Arise and Legends of Mana the most.
I'll get Mass Effect for sure but I understand this thread is for JRPGs.

Anyway I think Mass Effect is the only western RPG I expect to buy this year so far.
Oh, I don't think Arise will come out this year, sadly.
There has to be something else that's not set in stone.
I won't name that From game until they show it again.
Edit: Oh yeah! Monster Hunter Stories 2 looks really cool.
Why are you confident in this? We've seen next to nothing of the game, and we're in the midst of the pandemic which seemed to be adding six months to a year to every game's dev time.
Legends of Mana, Monster Hunter Stories 2, and Rune Factory 5 are also exciting 2021 RPGs that aren't on that list.
I really really hope Tales of Arise comes out this year but I could see it being delayed.
And of course there's also Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl ^_^

Nah, we did get new stuff at TGS that year too, including a look at a probable party member at the end:

The Tales of Festival which was delayed out of June last year is coming up March 6th through 7th, so hopefully we get something there.
Hi, I just feel like preemptively mentioning I am the writer of the list linked in the OP and I pretty much construct it solo. I'm intentionally a bit broad with the RPG definition which is why you see things like Judgment or Outriders or Mario Golf (lol) on there, please don't yell at me.
If there's anything missing or outdated, feel free to let me know. Sometimes it's a lot to keep track of, especially the indie scale stuff.
My answer btw is:
Saviors of Sapphire Wings / Stranger of Sword City Revisited
SaGa Frontier Remastered
Ys IX: Monstrum Nox (PC)
NEO: The World Ends With You (really not sure if the battles will translate to 3D, but I'll give it a shot)
SMT V (if it actually lands this year)

Tales of Arise, Monster Hunter Stores and Cris Tales are the ones I'm mainly interested in. Rune Factory looks interesting but I'm not sold on it yet.
Kingdoms of Amalur is coming to Switch in March.
Always wanted to play it, and if the Switch port is good I'll definitely pick it up.
Mass Effect Trilogy I'll 100% be getting and will probably play through each game at least twice if not more over time.
Those Mana and Saga remasters coming to Switch also got my interest. Never touch either of those series, but the games looked pretty great in that Nintendo Direct. If they're priced well I can see myself giving them a shot (I'll do some research to see if they're even games I'd like first of course, haha).
Sports Story (sequel to Golf Story) I'll be getting day 1 whenever it releases this year. Golf Story was fantastic, very funny, lots of fun, a lot of variety, and I was happy to have a Golf RPG since Nintendo stopped doing it for so long.
If the new Mario Golf's story mode is anywhere near as fully featured I'll probably get that too.

Bethesda does short announcement to releases for their games, insiders have said they were aiming for a 2021 release date several months ago.

Thank you, your list is the best I have found. I hope copy-pasting from it was ok for you :)
Well it was also a pandemic a few months ago when they reportedly said they were targeting 2021...not like they werent aware at the time of the obstacles.
Starfield is also a new IP, unlike Fallout 4 and 76, so they might want to give it a longer promotional cycle.
And of course, after the reaction to CP2077 (and FO76, honestly), I think they might not want to release a game with the usual levels of BGS launch polish.

Is Horizon FW coming this year?
I just read and saw a bit of the Ascent. How deep are the rpg mechanics?
Why not believe what is being reported? Far more people hinting at it being 2021 than not lately. Either way we will likely know for sure in the next month.
Tales of Arise
ME:LE
I'm seeing other peeps say H:FW personally I think of that as action adventure, but hey if it counts then that too.
i'll be waiting until I get a PS5 for them though

I haven't followed Starfield or Elden Ring at all and even I know those games aren't releasing this year. Really set your expectations accordingly. Think of how many games were delayed last year and double it.
Now despite having no set release date I could see SMT 3 and Sports Story released this year both of which I'm curious about.
