JRPG style TTRPGs

I remember someone made d20 adaptations for FF7 and FF8 here: https://officialmarcwilkinson.yolasite.com/tabletop-roleplaying-games.php

Worth noting that a new JRPG contender has entered the ring - the Phantasy Star TTRPG, based on Esper Genesis (and thus 5E). Mainly for science fantasy, presumably, but worth noting.

Looks really cool. At $30 for the PDF, I'm thinking of I'll wait for a physical copy.

For those interested in Phantasy Star, here's a cool rundown of the book and system:

Spoiler: Very 5E.

Read and summarised this now and honestly it’s got great art but is otherwise lacklustre, with workmanlike conversions of the JRPG rules at best, but mostly duplicated 5E rules and spells. I actually think the Phantasy Hack might be a better game if you’re OK with the rules mostly covering only PSO and (somewhat) PSU.

Thanks for popping back in and sharing. I guess the hunt for the perfect system continues for me...

At least Quest for the Lost Pixel has scratched my old PC Dungeon Crawl itch.
