Why We Don't Finish JRPGs Anymore

In this episode, we dive into the problem we all face around dropping games before reaching the credits. Sometimes it’s the gameplay loop losing momentum, sometimes the story doesn’t hold us, and sometimes another big release shows up at the worst possible time. We also talk about games we technically finished but never fully completed, skipped side content, or meant to return to for DLC and never did. 💬Let us know in the comments: What JRPG did you never finish, and why? ✨ Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and join the JRPG conversation with us every week! ========================================= Timestamp: 00:00:00 Intro 00:01:36 Definition of completion 00:03:23 Haven't Finished Octopath Traveler 0 00:06:54 THE GRAVY ANALOGY 00:10:16 Atelier Resleriana (No Year of Atelier, OKAY) 00:14:34 DLC and Waiting for the Definitive Version 00:21:20 The Backlog anxiety and coming back to games 00:37:50 Games we dropped ========================================= Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @jrpg_pursuit   A podcast for all things JRPG!
