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

>>729220781>everyone always talks about the same fucking titlesIs Monark any good?
>>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
>>729221256Chrono Trigger is 20 hours long
>>729225250I don't hate that game because the clay models are very nice to look at, but I did get bored and drop it Sakaguchi usually has pretty good stories in his games, don't know what happened there
>>729224459>>729225250>>729224146>>729224115nta but are these worth playing?
>>729221694I want them all ported to PC. Yes, even Blue Dragon which I personally don't care for that much.
I need an action jarpig that isn't Ys or Tales
>>729225460Tokyo Xanadu eX+
>>729225512sequel doko...
>>729225512FinishedIt's criminal that you can't romance Rion. They haven't copied the best part of Persona.
>>729225512Is it good? I heard mixed reactions to Tokyo Xanadu.
>>729225426>still emulates like asskusoooooo
>>729225570last time I played it to completion and the only thing that was fucked was some shadows' textures
>>729225418Crystal Project absolutely is if you enjoy exploration, team building, and strategic turn based combat. It's a very "gameplay first" kinda game with virtually no story. You are essentially thrown into a huge world with shitloads of dungeons, secrets, bosses, and cool stuff to find everywhere. On the higher difficulties it's a pretty hard game and many bosses will require you to change up your party and strategies significantly, but it's always very fair.
>>729225418No one who values their sanity should ever play Dragon Song. It's even WORSE than people give it credit.
>>729225460You okay with side scrollers? Then Ast Libra, no cap.Retro? Illusion of Gaia into Terranigma (there's patches to make dashing a button and not double tap) Needs to not be that old? Star Ocean 2 R, Star Ocean 6, FF Rebirth, P5 Strykers (I like it more than the main game), Trials of Mana
>>729225418https://store.steampowered.com/app/1637730/Crystal_Project/crystal project is a hidden gem, literally one of the coolest jrpgs ever
Any idea what causes these weird artifacts on PPSSPP?
>>729225460FINAL FANTASY TYPE-0 HDRAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless ArmySTAR OCEAN THE SECOND STORY RTrials of Mana (remake)The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless TrailsHarvestella(?)
>>729225418Elminage is a little bit too outdated, even for jrpg standard. Iirc it was a 2d dungeon crawler on psp, but I think it was on steam as well
Crystal Project if he good and with none of the stupid platforming horseshit. Enchant Farm
>>729225783nvm it's just texture scaling
>Fantasy Life i got its DLC today>saw it in another threadnooooooo my free time again aaaaahhhhhhhhh
>>729221694>Last StoryThat was the game that made me dislike single town JRPGs that aren't dungeon crawlers. Just made me realise I don't like when there aren't new towns to discover. It just always goes back to that one town with random dungeons around it.>Lost OdysseyWas interesting to play a JRPG with a super low encounter rate. I think it kinda needed a way to just trigger a fight cause I remember running around for easily over a minute per fight trying to farm something. I can't judge it too much cause I took long breaks between playing it.>Blue DragonHad cool mechanics and systems iirc, but never beat it for the same reason as Lost Odyssey.
>>729225418Crystal Project is a solid 8.8/10 for me. Extremely worth it and a cut above most RPGs to come out in recent memory.
>>729225753>>729225803Thanks. I'll look into SO2R and SO6, they got some decent discounts
What are some games that have that "young boy goes on a journey with his childhood female friend" Vibe
Has anyone tried Legends of the Dump? Love the look of it but all the reviews make it sound painfully unfinished past the first half to the point of being literally unplayable
>>729226116I couldn't get past the text size for ants in SO6. There's no mod to fix it either.
I bought Crystal ChroniclesHope it scratches my "four niggas in a row" itch
>>729226252Grandia kindaFF12 Revenant WingsLunar Story too afaik
>>729226287Look good but also a bit too expensive for a RPGMaker game.I'll wait for at least a 50% discount
>>729226287It's kingdom of the dump. I got it but haven't played it yet. >>729226348It was made in Godot.
I need to get more into mediocre JRPGs. There's a ton of them I've never played because the latest HYPE title keep stealing all the attention. Surely there are some interesting aspects to these.
>>729226116If you like SO2R you should emulate SO blue sphere it's sequel if you don't mind GBC games.
>>729226317>Lunar Storyexpensive jarpigs.
>>729225418if you like older jrpgs for the gameplay you will love crystal project. it's the peak of 4 niggas in a row gameplayit's 100 hours long if you play it blind and only has like 10 minutes of story throughout all of thatyou explore a huge open world, find dungeons, kill bosses, get cool loot, unlock new classes to mix and match, sometimes find new movement upgrades that let you explore more of the world to get to even more cool shitit's fucking enormous and the mechanics and options you have for team building go super deep, it's the kind of game that keeps surprising you over and over and over again because it just keeps going getting bigger and bigger and gives you more and more absolutely game changing stuffi'd recommend starting on hard mode, it's difficult but rewarding a lot of the bosses are almost kinda puzzles with how you need to approach them and you will make party setups specifically to counter them which feels fucking amazing vs just steamrolling everything after grinding a bit. if it gets too much you can always turn the difficulty down, but you can't turn it back up again
>>729226446>look it up on steam>first image is this delicious flat chested goodnessI will play your game
>>729226446you can play the entire idea factory catalog
>>729226506storybros...
Call me a schizo but I swear this crystal project shill spams every chance he gets about it
>>729226302Its not, unless you play with 3 friends.
>>729226506i got burnt out once i unlocked the fishi didn't bother explored the ocean>>729226717it's a very good game
I found a used copy of LiveALive for Switch for $15 that looked mint. Seems alright so far, other than the fucking tiny font.
>>729226717You're a schizo, but it is a good game. I've noticed couple of people really liked it when it came out.
>>729226925That guy is a faggot but I enjoy his content.
>>729226252Play the first Grandia. It has absolutely stellar adventuring vibes. The main character starts out as a naive kid that dreams of adventure and sets out on a journey purely for adventure's sake with his childhood friend. There's nothing that forces his hand, no big drama, ancient evil, or burnt village or anything like that, he just wants to go explore. Of course it's a JRPG so things do eventually turn more serious but it never loses that adventuring spirit.>>729226717It's a cool game and pretty one of a kind. It used to have a ton of threads when it came out so a lot of anons played it.
>>729226406>It was made in Godot.Doesn't matter what it was made in. It might have been coded in Godot, but it's RPG Maker-coded, which, to me, makes it worth $0.00.
>>729226925davidvinc might be THE most knowledgeable jrpg channel on all of youtube. he seems to have played everything under the sun. his only competition is that erick landon fucker, I think.
>>729227053Pointless accusations.
>>729226252Legend of DragoonRomancing SaGa 3 (depending on the route)Breath of Fire III (you start off as a child)Final Fantasy VII
>>729226446I'm the chad who made the only 3 threads about this game
>>729220781Shining Force 3 beat the first Scenario at the start of the month but then got feeling like playing the FF7Remake again after like 4 years. I never played the Yuffie Dlc, so I was looking forward to that too.
>>729224105I tried to play this many years ago, but got bored after the prison break. Should I try it again?
>>729220781None of them, I'm not gay.
>>729227053It doesn't even look like RPG maker
>>729227471>Varlet-ACK
>>729220781>People constantly sperging about squeenix>Nobody boughted Sakaguchis fantasian game
>>729227631I boughted it
>>729227631>Nobody boughted Sakaguchis fantasian gameBecause S-E wanted to charge $60 for what was a $6 phone game.
>>729227728Is it good? I'm considering baten kaitos too
>>729226446I'd say play the KEMCO catalog, but then I played Metro Quester and the sequel Osaka and it was really good. Heard two developers that use KEMCO as a publisher also put out good to decent RPGs. Someone said Exe Create and Hit-Point developed games are good. So might as well dig around there.Picture unrelated to mediocre RPGs.
>>729227750Both are good. The story is kinda nonsensical in fantasian but you just go with it. Baten Kaitos HD is a good remaster with the only complaint being no English dub which is a non-issue since I play everything with jap dub anyways.
>>729227471>>729227579so what's wrong with it?
>>729227728So you intend to play FF7 before the remakes. Right?
>>729221056>Konosuba dungeon crawlerWhich one is that?
>>729228030Yeah, I'm going through it right now.
>>729221097>FuRyuSeems to me like they want to be the new KEMCO but with bigger budget.
Any cheap easy grabs from the sale?
>>729220781I got Romancing Saga 2 on sale for my Switch 2. The gameplay is smooth and feels good and I like the glimmer system. My only complaint is that it seems really easy so far even on the hardest difficulty (I just beat the boss in the mansion)
>>729228264Check steamdb
>>729228312No.I'm going to trust the opinion of the other posters in this thread.
>>729228270>(I just beat the boss in the mansion)You mean, you finished the tutorial? Hang in there.
>>729228342The older ys games are cheap and fun
>>729228342This was what I got this sale
>>729228361Generally hard JRPGs are difficult at the start when you don't have many tools to use
>>729225460Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2.Souls series.
This shit better be good
>>729228863Why do people not play demos?
>>729228863>fell for it award
>>729227974Nobody knows, they have more fun complaining than playing
>>729220879>Furyuu jank kinoKusoge-tier gameplay that is passable at best with some very interesting aesthetics, plots and characters. Worth it but only if you get it for a discount. For instance, i actually like reynatis but i wouldn't pay full price for it, ever.
>>729220879I enjoyed it for what it was: a shoe-string budget game. Solid foundation, but the lack of resources is apparent.
I wonder how these japanese events dedicated to FugaFinale went.
>>729221297Eh, the patch IS a beta/demo after all. So i guess we can't complain. It is annoying, and yeah, it drives me amd because i too read fast, but you get used to it for the most part.
>>729229082Sell me the furfag game
>>729228863I thought the tutorial section of the map was kinda lame and I was already close to dropping it but once I got to the big hub city with the castle and the game started taking the training wheels off I got super addicted
>>729229027>KusogePart of me irrationally resents it when a shitty game has elements that appeal to me. I wish there were more games with generational advancement, for example.
>>729220941Growlanser 2 has the best opening of them all. It has a really catchy song.https://youtu.be/tY_KLTixun8?si=PgsiB6d8QulVFil7https://youtu.be/mU-RL-zXUU8?si=PUE8IMa7bh9eiYOg
Currently playing ffxii, don't know what classes/sub classes to pick for my characters. Maybe I'll buy another jrpg (bravely default or one of the octopath games), but my switch 2 backlog is unicorn overlord, tales of vesperia, act 3 of dq11
>>729229140I prefer 4
>>729226446This one is cool. Every character has a move that has a percentage chance to instant kill each enemy, and the chance increases as you go through the game such that by the end you'll just use that move because it's like 50% or somethingAlso the way they resolve the entire witch persecution plot that's meant to be the point of the story is laughably half-assedIt's one of the more tolerable slop IF games overall
>>729220941I'm waiting for them to apply the patch onto psp version
>>729229436Doesn't the psp version have extra content? I'm sure that need extra work beyond inserting the script into the game.
>>729220781WTF is wrong with Mary Skelter Finale? The sale prices are all over the place.
