This thread is very hostile. What JRPGs did you pickup for Christmas?

>>729220781Her game
>>729220781I'm considering whether to play Growlanser 4 again or play the fan translation of Growlanser 1Nice OPs:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULXhSG5IMCQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeZZn_-y5Rkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZsmlcK-olA
>>729220879It looks like a cross between Codevein and SMT. I'll look into it.
>>729220879No, sometimes a game is never mentioned for good reason.
But then I started Labyrinth of Galleria yesterday. The Konosuba dungeon crawler is also on its way.
>>729220941if you start G1, post in this thread if there is still an audio delay between the text appearing and then the voices like 1.5 seconds later.Shit drove me crazy because the patch has the text speed locked and I couldn't put the text on instant.
>>729220879problem is furyu are intent on killing themselves as a publisher.>the caligula effect>crystar>monark>trinity trigger>reynatis>varletthey're all generous 6s at best.
>>729221056Extremely based. All those games are fun.
>>729221087Unless there was an update, the delay is still there.
>>729220781Of course it's hostile to RPGs. You can easily tell because it uses that shitty nuspeak term "JRPG" that implies those RPGs aren't "true RPGs"ergo, fuck off
Post more nice JRPG OPsRadiant Historiahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9mY0ZdsTmcPersona 3 FES:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGjPut-k-7U
>>729221097I'd say only Reynatis out of those is outright bad.
the idea of playing some 50+ hour JRPG fills me with dreadso i just play shit from 40 years ago that i can beat in a day or three
>>729221256It's the fucking cutscenes, anon. They add so much bloat to what would normally be a 30-second long exchange in dialog boxes.
>>729221158I looked up the PS1 gameplay on the original Japanese and there is no voice delay so it's 100% the patch. Sucks.
>>729221256There are plenty of shorter, new JRPGs that are like 30 hours long.
>>729221297Still better than nothing but yeah it sucks
I've narrowed my next game down to Suikoden 5, Last Story, or Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity and I cannot decide
>>729221362Suikoden V
>>729221397Whelp, might as well start there. Time to go in blind and then seethe when I find out much shit I missed.
>>729221362>Suikoden 5Solid last game in the series so far. Plays it a bit too safe by cherry picking what worked so far, which isn't necessarily bad. Changed army battles to RtwP.>Last StoryOverlooked Wii JRPG taking place largely in one city. Weird "JRPG takes inspiration from brown and bloom TPS" melting pot that somehow works. Bong voices.
>>729221097So what is each game's shtick? Half seem like Persona wannabes.
>>729221297>>729221351If the delay is consistent, surely it should be easy to Tippi-chan kick it into sync
>>729221553>Sakaguchi wanted it to be a sci fi love story but Nintendo made him change it because they are gayfucking Nintendo
>>729221539>>729221539Suikoden games are only mildly related, 4 and 5 take place before 1 and are in completely different areas
>>729221651Entire period was fucking weird for Sakaguchi.>Last Story>Lost Odyssey>Blue Dragon
Don't Suikoden games have casts that are too big? I played Tierkreis and was sad my favourite characters didn't have much lore relevance after joining
>>729220781Are there any Japanese-styled strategy role-playing games (preferably turn-based) with a sci fi setting for PC?
>>729221056>Vanillawarebased
>>729221748Reverse Collapse: Code Name Bakery might scratch your itch
>>729221726yes, but they flesh them out pretty well for what they are working with. Some more than others, of course. It's not as bad as say, Chrono Cross.
>>729221256Same. When i think about playing a Persona game and having to do all those fucking boring social links for a hundred hours i want to blow my brains out. I just want a nice 40 hour game>>729221553>Bong voices.British English localisation is always better because it means you will not get lines where they translate a simple, direct Japanese sentence into a character doing their wacky schtick or being performatively over-verbose because "Japanese language is too implicit" or some bullshit excuse like that
>>729220781Saga 2 remake. Very fun so far
>>729221912>Reverse Collapse: Code Name BakeryI thought you were making a joke until I googled it. Fucking titles.
>>729221925>British English localisation is always better because it means you will not get lines where they translate a simple, direct Japanese sentence into a character doing their wacky schtick or being performatively over-verbose because "Japanese language is too implicit" or some bullshit excuse like thatTrue sometimes, like XC1. 2 and 3 are fucking straight up warcrimes, though>blushy crushy
>>729221912I already played it, that's why I'm asking for precisely this, I want more.
>>729221992If you liked that then I recommend saga frontier 2 remastered then romancing saga minstrel song remastered. Play scarlet grace first to see if you'll like the newer saga emerald beyond game.
>>729221992>Saga 2 remakeThere's a minority that hates it for changing some things, but RotS is a great game. Not to mention there's a demo.
>>729221992>>729222041>>729222043All I know is I'm waiting for the RS3 remake. Give me STONKS and army battles.
>>729220781E33, I'm enjoying it so far.
>>729221992The DS one?
>>729222024It's kind of a stretch but arc the lad 2. It's more steampunk fantasy. Needless to say play arc the lad 1 first.
>>729222156Based. I still have to play the DLC.
>>729222041I've played Scarlet Grace and Emerald Beyond already, but I'll look into those. Thanks, anon.
>>729220879The characters are okay and the plot is a bit interesting.The combat is a fucking slog and too much fillers between chapters.
>>729221686Amusingly, it helps to have played 4 if you intend to play 5.
>>729222713In what way?
>>729221121>>729221871I've heard really good things about the first two games and already liked Octopath Traveler, so I had to buy them. Those three were only 80€ in total too.The Switch really is a great JRPG machine for AA games that don't require too much power. Playing Trails into Reverie on it was a mistake, but for turn based strategy games and dungeon crawlers, it's perfect.
>>729220781FF VII Rebirth.Turns out my machine isn't good enough to play properly.
>>729222856It runs on a Steam Deck. Your computer must be really shit.
>>729222856>FF VII Rebirth.Let's balloon an already inflated Part 1 into something even bigger. Developers need to stop looking at Ubisoft who inflate hours played with quality.
>>729222239I need something more modern for higher definition waifus.
man I forgot that some PS2 games are ass ugly and don't benefit from upscaling like PS1 games can. The HD text box and portrait replacement pack is nice, but it can't go past 3x internal res without the white lines that are an issue for this game in general it seems.
>>729223286is that with widescreen patch?
>>729223387
>>729223387I turned it off and tried some settings and somehow managed to not get the white lines on the text boxes in higher internal res.Not going to question it; it looks fine now so I'll continue on
>>729223762booba
>>729223762Damn, that looks good. Early PS3 game almost.
>>729220781Picked up Trails into the Sky (original, not the remake)Doing my best to take my time with it and regularly catching up with the NPCs in between jobs. Very cozy.
>>729223762also I want to add that I am using the undub and Ferid sounded like Haku, so I checked and it is indeed Keiji Fujiwara and now I'm going to go bed sadRIP Haku, you were my boy
>>729223835that's beauty of emulation, a little bit of tinkering and you can fix most problems. Except for Steambot Chronicles, that game is cursed with eternal ghosting forever.
>>729223891isnt the remake much superior
What are the most player hostile unfair as fuck JRPGs?So far I know Crystal Project on Hard mode
>>729224027if you'll let an SRPG count, Hoshigami PS1 and it's not even closeWhat a piece of shit fucking game
>>729224027Sands of DestructionSexo with Morte
>>729224027Crystal Project is super fair though? It gives you all the information you could possibly want, you can tell exactly what an enemy is going to do like 20 fucking turns ahead of time
>>729220781I was gifted DQ11 on steam. before winter sale I picked up Graces f
>>729224027Lunar Dragon Song. That game actively hates you.
>>729224105I often rewatch the anime scene where Kyrie or Kyle or Kaleb or whatever the fuck rebukes her and takes off with his bros. Pure cinema.
>>72922105613 sentinels is story kino
>>729224027elminage
>>729224003I've heard it's really good but depending how quickly I progress through the series I figured I'd just start with the original and work through release order. I didn't think the remake for Second Chapter would be so soon, then they went and announced it last week. Falcom sure works fast.
>>729224027This game fucking hates you
