With the rising cost of video games, it’s not a bad idea to grab something that offers maximum bang for your buck. JRPGs fit very well into this category, as these games typically offer deep gameplay systems to master and take dozens–even hundreds–of hours to complete. Combined with their enchanting stories and deep gameplay systems, these can keep you occupied for weeks, and for Prime Day, several big entries in fan-favorite franchises are on sale during the event, which lasts until July 11.
Some of the best deals are for the slate of recent remakes and remasters of beloved classics, such as Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, a new version of one of the most important JRPGs of all time. On sale for $35 (was $60), the remake is faithful to the original’s gameplay while updating the graphics, interface, and soundtrack for the modern age. Suikoden I & II HD Remaster is another revival of all-time classics, giving the 1995 and 1998 Suikoden games a makeover. It’s on sale for $30 (was $50).
Final Fantasy fans can also grab remakes of the classic NES and SNES games with the Final Fantasy I-VI Collection Anniversary Edition, which is on sale for $45 (was $75). This collection includes the first six mainline games in the series, each featuring new 2D pixel graphics, rearranged soundtracks, and several quality-of-life updates. You can also pick up contemporary entries in the franchise, like Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth for low prices, while Final Fantasy XVI is down to $25 (was $40).
