It has worse music but very worthwhile extra content. Everything else is the same (including encounter rate).

The encounter rate in Skies isn't even a big deal after the first couple hours when you unlock Aika's AOE specials.

I'm playing Tales of Symphonia again for the first time in a very long while, and it's just as good as I remember it being.
This time, I'm trying it in the JP-dub instead of English, and I have to say, the English is better. I'm normally a massive subsfag but the English voice actors were great for once. I guess 2003 was a different time.

The most successful SaGa game to date is Re:UniverSe by several orders of magnitude.
Return of the Seven also couldn't beat over half of the series in tems of sales, let alone the sales of the original RS2, it has yet to reach let alone pass the 1M threshold.
>Inb4 Gachas don't count
They do, without Re:UniverSe's money we wouldn't have got any of the modern games past 2016 as they're all made through what little profit the team gets to keep from that, most of it is siphoned by SE, and that also includes RoTS by the way.

what are some jrpgs with maximum gameplay density and good atmosphere
games all about the mechanics where every word spouted by the characters is either skippable or not there in the first place
where anything getting in the way of you and immediate gameplay engagement (combat, dungeon crawling) is minimal, there's no walking around towns or wasting time watching animations
what are some games like that? I love disgaea 4, dungeon travelers 2-2 and smtiv apocalypse for this reason
is the genius of sappheiros a good one? I also liked labyrinth of galleria because both the story and the combat animations were skippable so you could really bite into the game from the start
it's not like I wanna adhd through everything though, I just want a game that respects my time and shows me a story through actual immersion instead of static png cardboard cutouts of underage girls blabbering about some dumb fucking shit or some evil dude's low poly model repeating the same laughing animation for the 1000th time or holding x to run at 3 feet per hour around static backgrounds while the same enemy formations keep popping up and wasting minutes of your life

Dragon Ruins if you want a more bite-size experience that only takes a few hours. It's basically a auto-battling blobber where your party will automatically fight when they're in the vicinity of enemies, and you just head back to the "town" which just a menu to improve your party and equipment to get further into the dungeon to complete the ultimate objective of slaying the dragon or whatever.

Mahirotranny always avatarfags and doesn't try to push infighting, he also invented another schizo personality for himself after finding out about Mork and his youtube channel so he mostly sticks to ruining the shmup generals nowadays, this is the EB schizo who started his routine since they dropped the first trailer
>>729675057
If you liked IVA just play more SMT, try out Etrian for good measure too, I also second the Shiren series as it's consistently good outside of 3, 5+ sells for literal pennies on steam nowadays whenever there's a sale.
>is the genius of sappheiros a good one?
I guess, it's kind of a stage based Romancing SaGa game with 2hus so it depends on whether you can stomach either of those aspects.
If you like puzzle style JRPGs you'll probably love it regardless because it's good at that job, Enchant Farm is also something you might want to try out.

>retcon Cold Steel
Never thought about that which come to think of it they could remake and retcon the series into only two games with the first game covers CS 1 and 2 and the second game covers CS 3 and 4. Less fillers and no cliffhangers! But who am I kidding they already remaking SC so it's a schizo headcanon.

Alter Code F is basically WA1 'but more'.
It's a direct upgrade to WA1 in almost every sense except maaaaybe the music, and i think that's mostly bias towards the PSX soundfont. But in everything else, ACF blows the original out of the water.

These games were difficult to play even back in the day as people complained about their slow pace and cumbersome combat. Second game is also the definition of a middle child you have to endure through to get to the third one. Players today would want to blow their brains out playing Xenosaga games.

VH2 is that hill I'll die on defending it. If you can't stand the synchronous combat it can now be modded into boring ass turn-based affair. It's thematically still the closest one to TO and FFT. I'm also a sucker for the OST.

Its okay. Not as good as FFX but its not terrible.
But kinda cool you can fight against the likes of Balrog. Then after you do a chapter you can do special fights where you play as the enemies yo defeat your party. Including playing as a Balrog.

This, first game is very slow going as I'm pretty sure they still thought they'd get 6 games in the series to develop and wrap things up, the second game is simply lame in all ways and not worth suffering through, the third game is extremely rushed due to needing to wrap up the story so things can get pretty confusing at times. On the other hand, I enjoyed the first game reasonably well, anime space opera and all. Neat card game. The third game does have some of the nicest visuals the PS2 can offer at times, and the final sequence with Jin, Chaos and KOS-MOS was pretty rad. Worth trying the first game anyway, you'll know within the first couple hours if you aren't going to like the rest of it.

They probably forever hate it for almost killing them. They wouldn't even put Dart in their All-Stars game.

But then again a remake could be the best JRPG ever again and almost kill Sony again. Truly the gift that keeps on giving.

apart from the updated graphics - they destroyed every essence of what made the original great
its jarring

I did love it a lot.
Never played 1 so the changes didnt bother me. Will accept the artstyle is not for everyone (I ignored the game because of that a few years ago) but after a few hours you see this world is a shithole so fancy graphics would do the setting a disservice. Besides the character sprites and battle animations are great.
I love the song that plays in the moving train fights the most. Sadly it only plays in that single chapter.

Goated franchise. Wish CC2 wasn''t being hostage by bamco to make a new game or remake IMOQ. Also Chikayo Fukuda is the most ultra underrated composer.

FF7 remake is weird because on some level it expects you to already know key points from the original, but then proceeds to shit all over it which just enrages existing fans. It's a bizarre case of wanting to both eat and have the cake.

Eh, it's clear to me they really are not interested in making a new one, they are more than happy doing Fuuga/LTB, their other passion project. Besides, all luster the game could have had is long gone. The internet is no longer mysterious or scary, doing a new game is pretty much pointless.

>>729681990
Most EA LotR games are surprisingly not shit, even the action ones, their peak definitely was Battle for Middle-Earth 1 and 2
Third Age was some weird thing were they probably couldn't make an RPG game with the "original" cast so they made not-Aragorn, not-Elf, etc. and somehow cobbled a decent game out of it. Guess it goes to show even devs on multibillion dollar megacorps still had some passion left, or the suits hadn't completely taken over every aspect of development
>>
>>729661297
Shits the bed in the final act unfortunately. It was a half decent game up until that point.

Ey I beat it yesterday. It's very pretty visually but the characters are as gay as it gets. And NetEase fired the team after releasing it. I think you should still enjoy it because it's a great honor to the Mana series. The Mana Tree in particular was awesome in 3D.
