How many niggas in a row do you prefer in your RPG party?
>>724432253Three
>>724432253four niggas in a row
Two Means you have to be more reactive and not just repeat the same routines over and over
>>724432253If it ain't nine, don't waste my time.
>>724432253A squad of niggas on a tactical grid with asynchronous turn order
3 is enough I believe. 4 is ok. Anymore is just a waste of time management
>>7244322533 or 4Any less and there's no real strategic set up you can really play withAny more and it takes too long managing the members / issuing commands.Large parties only work if you give broad commands and the CPU takes over individual actions.
>>72443225320
3 active at a time, with backup you may swap in and out.
3
>>7244322534 is the sweet spot
>>724432253DPSDPS/SupportSupport
Four. Anything more is too much micromanagement, any less doesn't feel as interesting.
>>724432253Usually 4.Games with 3 or 4 in front and 3 or 4 in the back row are good too.
>>724432705Wow the Lufia characters are really weak if they need all this to beat a dragon.
>>724432253Three or four niggas in a row is the right amount. Once you get five niggas in a row, you're rapidly approaching too many niggas in a row.
>>724432843>>724433815Maybe if you're a fucking retard.
Should I make sylvando a sword and shield nigga, or a whip nigga. Whip is the only weapon type I'm missing in my party but I feel like he is meant to use sword and shield.

>>724432253>in A rowI prefer a matrix of 3 by 2 niggers, thank you
>>724434474dancing nigga
>>724432360>>724432473I feel like 3 or 4 is too limiting. Especially if there's some variety in elemental attacks and status effects. I hate when 2/3 or 3/4 of my party is just the "spam one certain move" character (i.e. "stun guy", "heal chud", "poison goy").
>>724434650Now this is the perfect amount because you can have redundancy and variety in play style especially with the link attacks and synergies. Probably the best jrpg ever made
>>724432843Imagine if that applied to wars,>You send your three best niggas and we send our three best niggas, whoevers niggas wins wins the war
>>724434993tbf if our world operated on anime logic it would make sense, some niggas would straight up tank nukes and level cities
>>724432253For me it's, 4x5 or 5x4 niggas in a row, same game.
>>724432253Every JRPG is slop compared to Expedition 33. FF16 was the death knell.
>>724434314it's not about that, it's about having fun. And spending too much time on menus isn't what I call fun. Retard.
>>724435278I'm American and trans btw.
>excretion 33 fag enters the thread to defend his shit game
>>7244322531
4 niggas in a row is good. 3 is okay as well but can feel limiting. Any more than 4 just feels like a clusterfuck. Letting Xenoblade 3 have everyone at the field at the same time feels like it was a mistake.
for me it's 5 niggas on a tic-tac-toe board
>>7244322534
>>724432253I find 5 to be a pretty comfortable amount of niggas
>>724432253I prefer five niggas in a row.
>>724433475I really should play this
Three
two feels cozythree is goodfour is coolfive is curious
>>724434650>>724434890is this suikoden 1 or 2?
>>724432253Four is the perfect size to be quite honest family. >Damage Dealer>Healer>Tech option>Damage Dealer
I like five but it's very rare.
Four gives you more room for character variety.I always feel like 3 limits what you can do because you always need damage, healing and a tank.
>>724432253Four for more traditional-style JRPGs with simpler commands. Three for more "modern" JRPGs with more complicated commands/turns.
>>7244362345v5 was tolerable here because it was basically an early autobattler before those became a mainstream thing combined with a rudimentary RTS. If you had to command all 5 of your guys against all 5 of their guys with each map encounter it would have been a boring slog.
I like more niggas. Especially if the game has an extended cast. Ideal number is 5.>>724432705That's a lottta niggas. I approve.
>>724434731Doing everything in a single party if gay. Your chosen team should excell at things and also have weaknesses.3 is best
>>7244322533 niggas in the front row2 niggas in the back row
The real question is should benched party members get EXP or not?
>>724439763do jrpgs even have "tanks?">>7244397135-6 is common for drpgs
one giganigga while the rest of the party leeches xp from the designated portapotty(pokemon)
Gotta be 6.
>>7244396472
>>724440228>do jrpgs even have "tanks?"Generally not dedicated tanks, but sometimes there'll be characters with skills that let them take damage for another occasionally.
4 is unironically the perfect party size. 3 is too personal. 5 is too impersonal, no one gets to shine. 4 offers the perfect blend of variety and character space.
6 with 2 additional guest members
>>724432253Honestly, with how varied these rosters are most of the time, I would prefer 5 to 6, even though that's not common. Expedition 33 having 5 characters and only using 3 was infuriating honestly. If your first team got knocked, your second team was guaranteed underweight.
>>724432253
4 to 6 niggas in a row is ideal.Preferably the 5 or 6.
>>724432253>4minimum>5 Now we're cooking>6+We war games now.
>>7244322533 with summons/assist
4 minimum6 max
>>7244322534 is good5th slot for guests
>>724432253It would be nice if there were more five nigga games just so I could experience more of them, but I do prefer four over three. I always end up wishing there was another party slot in three nigga games because there's always another character that I want to use. I never really feel that way about games with four party members, I guess I just always end up with four favourite characters in JRPGs..
5+I love when party formations are a big part of the combat.
>>724440180definitely otherwise you just end up getting pigeonholed into using one strategy/core team
>>7244322534 is best but I am ok with 3.5 and above is pants on head retarded unless its a special guest character temporarily joining your group or something.
ALL
I like 3 in front and 3 in back like old Wizardry games. The vanguard handles melee and tanking while the rearguard handles ranged attacks and support.
Just one.That's not me dropping a cool line, I actually strongly prefer single-adventurer games in general. Love the Legend of Zelda.
>>724432253Is there a JRPG where player positioning and party formation, and varied play fields plays a role in combat? For example, if you're fighting through a corridor, your evasion skills become limited, or that players can choose to move around an enemy and hit their backs for bigger damage.
>>724443838Those get called SRPGs
>>7244322536
>>7244322531 by 1 like pokemon
>>724433654Based
>>724432253It's gotta be really low or really high3, like Chrono Triggeror 25, like Last Remnant
