Adult casts in (J)RPGs | serime
backloggd.com
The list is expecially focused on turn based or action RPGs that at least somewhat share certain eastern influences that are beloved by JRPG fans lengthy story memorable characters and bosses carefully crafted world etc Those are the subgenres where we find most casts of kidsteens and I was a little too tired of the Rick Twelve Years Old Just Left His Moms Basement To Save The World And Peep At His Sidekicks Panties formula Im still gonna consider western RPGs but Im not gonna care for generic triplea games that can be barely called an RPG such as Assassins Creed Tomb Raider etc Criterias Majority of the cast is over the age of 18 Should act and be treated like adults idk thats it for now Feel free to shoot me a pm if you have a suggestion or if you notice a game that doesnt belong I didnt play most of these so some might be added by accident

Hi! I’ve been working on a list of RPGs (mostly japanese or j-influenced somewhat) in which the cast is mostly adults. The list is hosted on backloggd.

Leaving it here both in case it may be useful to anyone, but also in case you spot any missing titles that you believe should be added :) cheers!

P.S: the only reason for not taking western RPGs into consideration is because… well, most of them already feature adult casts. Think series such as Divinity, Shadowrun, Baldur’s Gate, etc. However, those usually play dramatically different when compared to the JRPG-style turn-based combat.

    Thank you! Pretty much everything suggested, I’ve added; I knew about CrossCode, yet completely forgot about it.
