HELLO /V/! help me out, i want a grindy rpg where i customize my starting party like ff1. NO REAL TIME ASPECTS TO COMBAT, very importantsmall indie games on steam nobody has heard of is VERY welcome!
>>722604132
>>722604132I mean FF1-V and just search for "four people in a row" RPG games (basically any before 1996)
FFV and change active to wait in the settings
>>722604132also genre subgenre doesn't mater, dungeon crawler, text based, etc, it's all good, but it NEEDS to have a fully customizable party straight at the begining
DQ3
>>722604215looks neat, but you collect members as the game go on
>>722604215is there any way to save her?
>>722604132Wizardry, play the PS1 Llylgamyn games.
>>7226042234 and 5 have active combat systems
Final Fantasy 3
SMT Strange Journey might fit what you're looking for- you can customize your whole party pretty early in and the game respects this isn't your first rodeo in the genre. The only downside is unless you've played SMT before you're starting with the best one.

>>722605050Is it worth it if you can?
SaGa 1 and 2, they're made by the same man who designed FF1 and follow the same exact formula but with better gameplay, if they're too retro SaGa 2 has a modernized and very good remake on the NDS that got a pretty good ENG patch ages ago.Any classic dungeon crawler, Wizardry, Dungeon Master, M&M, you name it, if you want something balls to the wall hard and grindy with a ridiculous amount of class and race configurations check out Elminage Gothic, the PC release isn't the best but it's the only localized version of the game.
>>722604302thisif you like FF1, DQ3 is similar but just better
>>722604132FF3 2D classic version
>>722604132Horizon's Gate
>>722605121>Wizardry8 is a fucking masterpiece
>>722605213You can change the settings to make it like the OG tho
>>722605521Did Nasir work on them too ?
>>722605774In FF1-3 you input all commands at the start of a turn, and then everything plays out. Even with ATB set to wait you're still waiting on the bar to fill up in real time to determine when someone takes a turn.
>>722604132You want Crystal Project.>but you unlock classes-I don't care, you get class promotions in FF1 too. Play Crystal Project.
>>722604132Etrian Oddesy if you want a jrpg. If you're willing to play western rpgs thr Might and Magic, Wizardry, and Ultima series all play like that.
>>722606007Ah I see
>>722605774seriously? even in the original SNES release?
>>722606295lol. lmao. buy an ad.
>>722606428No clue but it should be possible.
>>722604132Crescent Tower is pretty good. You only play with some story characters initially, but you unlock adventurer guild with full party creation very quickly (like an hour tops).If that's a dealbreaker I would like to second >>722605498
>>722605521SaGa 2 owns the fuck out of at least half of the SNES/SFC rpg library
>>722606841Crescent Tower was okay but it felt lacking. The class and racial abilities were definitely underutilized.
>>722606295yeah, sorry my guy>>722606526i dont play shit that get burnt like this, enjoy your cuckold projector or whatever
>>722604132Might and Magic 10:Legacy and Lords of Xulima fit your criteria, unless they don't count as grindy.
>>722606526>>722607109damn idk why this one triggered yall but ima check it out to spite ya niggas
>>722605213There's this weird misconception that ATB is anything more than a coating to make classic turn based system flow smoother.The whole thing merely changes speed stat from dictating turn order to enabling slight turn advantage over time to units with higher speed.If you don't feel comfortable with rushing your input, just switch style to Wait so it pauses everything whenever you enter a sub menu to select spells/items.At the end of the day, aside from scarcely utilized gimmick of bosses putting guard up and requiring you to wait until they are open, there's no real difference.X pretty much translated the ATB turn priority to a regular turn based system.
>>722604215I'm going to try this and I hate you because the last time I played an rpg maker game recommended on /v/ (hat world) I sunk like 50+ hours into it.
>>722607109>i dont play shit that get burnt like thisSo you're a reactionary retard, good to know. I'm glad dumb fucks like you get filtered from good games without even trying them, it's an oddly cathartic feeling.
>>722604132I don't know how you describe grindy or party customizing as I don't actually remember what was customizable in FF1 but I'm going to say the Disgaea series.
>>722608436>(hat world) I sunk like 50+ hours into it.Nice, hat world is honestly too good for what it is
>>722608610>troon gets assblasted seeing his comfort game get dunked on
>>722608436I can assure you that you're going to drop 50+ in this one too, it's fun and surprisingly good
>>722604132Crystal project
DQ3 absolutely. DQ9 is really good too.
>>722605926No, SaGa 1 and 2 were made by an all japanese skeleton crew, Gebelli did not work on any of them
>>722609012>look i replaced crystal with cuckold i am so smart lol get dunked on assblasted troonYou have to be at least 18 years old to post here.
>>722604132I've asked for FF1-likes before and gotten https://store.steampowered.com/app/2769210/Scarmonde/ recommended to me. I have NOT played this so I cannot provide any personal anecdote related to my enjoyment or suffering spent with the game.
Metal Max 2R.Labyrinth of Zangetsu.
>>722605498thanks, bought it and it looks very good so far
>>722604132False Skies is exactly what you are looking for
>>722604132It’s not really what you asked for, but you might like Dragon Quest V. It’s the first JRPG I know of that sees you catching and training monsters.
>>722604215>404 linkguess I'm not downloading dolphin porn today...
>>722604132Dragon Quest IX
>>722610237poke around /vrpg/ for an updated link, I'm sure someone can help you out.
>>722610237link works perfectly fine, maybe you are retarded?
>>722610237the retardslators at /vrpg/ make life needlessly difficult with the advertisement pics.https://vrpghonyakubu.neocities.org/enchantfarm/enchantfarm-main
>>722610557>>722610568>mistook the 1 for an lyeah I'm retarded but what else is new
>>722609254lil troony needs to step away from 4chan before zer's neo-vag stitches tear
>>722611028>resorts to more terminal brainrot babbleIt's sad, really.
>>722604132Dungeon Antiqua
>>722604132Blacksmith of the Sand Kingdom
The answer is Sequel.
>>722604132Dragon Quest 3
>>722611267PORN SLOPPERS GET YE GONE
>>722605050NoBut she's still one of the best party members in the game. An absolute dodge tank
>>722607619Like a year ago one guy decided to post about that game a lot while telling everyone to play "Andrew's game" and because nobody can ever predict how memes will spawn, it somehow created a meme where dozens of users were telling people to play Andrew's game and it unironically catapulted this literally who dev and his generic RPG into thousands of reviews/purchases. I assume people are mad because they think it's not fair, maybe other devs who have similar games that are sitting at 6 reviews after 5 years. The game is alright, I think.
>>722611267>tfw unlocked Valkyrie in Chapter 3If the dev didn't want me to do it so soon, they shouldn't have made it available.
>>722604132if you like/dont mind rape and monster girls then try bunny black 1/2/3. The combat is kinda basic/mobile gaming tier in 1 with you only controlling the mc but the combat in 2+ is much better. You dont get to technically customize your party at the very start but after doing a few tutorials/segments it really opens up and lets you add all kinds of different units to your party.im serious about the rape btw. the first scene of the first game is like a 10 minute unskippable rape sequence.
>>722604132False Skies is pretty nice.
>>722605121ignore this fagstill play wizardry, but play the DOS version
>>722611778>The game is alright, I think.The game automatically sucks ass because awful, forced platforming in an engine not built for platforming and in a genre where platforming is not traditionally expected is negative amounts of fun. This, without even getting into the copious amount of issues with the exploration, progression, time-wasting encounters, most team comp and builds not actually mattering or being viable.Someone basically tried to design Final Fantasy V, but without ever actually playing it and merely hearing about what Final Fantasy V might be like from someone who only played halfway through the game.
>>722612208>Someone basically tried to design Final Fantasy V, but without ever actually playing it and merely hearing about what Final Fantasy V might be like from someone who only played halfway through the game.bravely default
>>722612208The platforming was fine and you're bad at the game.
>>722612518Gonna assume you're either a paid shill, or the dev, because no one besides those two things would dare to call Cuckhold Project's platforming anything more than "acceptable", and THAT is being kind.
>>722612789>no one besides those two things would dare to call Cuckhold Project's platforming anything more than "acceptable"it's hard to imagine what it must feel like to have your head so far up your own ass, can you tell me a little about your experience?
>>722612789>responding to generic bad faith newfaggotry
>>722604132Most SaGa games are like this. Anyone that liked FF1 and FF2 have jumped ship to them a long time ago
>>722609705>ScarmondeDo we know anything at all about the dev? Seems to be of the secretive sort.
>>722612789I'm not the dev but I'm glad Andrew's game made you seethe so much. Are you happy that you're giving it more attention with your autism? More people are going to play it, and Andrew is going to make more money. Does that make you mad? Maybe gonna piss and cry?
>>722604132Artifact Quest
>>722613485He was pretty responsive in the Steam forums. The demo was fine. Nothing great. It really does feel like an old FF game with the story stripped out and it's all just dungeons. It's cool how the further you get the more little short cuts you uncover to make getting back where you were easier, almost like a turn based metroidvania. The issue for me is that kind of turn based gameplay doesn't really hold my attention that much, and if there's no story or characters to get invested in I'm even less interested.
>even in ff1, this is what they show you when you leave the starting areakino, should have been more of these
>>722611267Sex with Tirma
>>722612789I'm not the dev and I don't get paid. The game was just that good. You're bad at it.
>>722614039nta, but i will buy it if theres no body type A/B nonsense
>>722614223M/F with different stats.
>>722614223>i will buy it if theres no body type A/B nonsenseHope you enjoy the game anon.
>>722604132Doom & Destiny advancedIt's got a lot of depth to it if you can vibe with the game being a passion project between a bunch of DND nerds
>>722614597>>722614597ok, i will buy it. i can only enjoy games if i can imagine trains having a dysphoria attack from it
>>722615037>le XD humori would really prefer if you would be quiet
>>722605121>>7226121248 party members become a bit of a chore to handle
>>722617406>wizardry>8 party membershuh???
>>722617981oh its 6, still a bit much
Dragon Quest 3 invented the concept
I fucking love grinding in jarpigs. I love when a game lets you grind out the ass and rewards you for it. tired of jarpigs that go "we've SOLVED the grinding problem" and have some stupid system that prevents me from making my numbers bigger
