is there any hope?
>>736235860>Dude play a JRPGokay I will play Vagrant Story for 36 hours>NO PLAY A REAL JRPGOkay I will play Chrono Trigger for 24 hours>FUCK YOU PLAY SOMETHING GOODOkay I will play the worst Kingdom Hearts game, Chain of Memories>Oh okay cool.
No not really>FF is dead long ago>DQ is grim without 2/3 core creators>Persona is outdated, replaced with woke Metaphor>Tales has no games>Trails will never ends and will keep getting worse. Remakes are soulless cash grabs>SMT turning into homoslops
>>736236060There's no end to the grift with JRPG fans.
People will play them like they always do the companies need to just learn to not shoot up the budget to insane amounts. Keep the budget and dev time to a reasonable level and you can keep making money off of them easily
My man still keeps the flag flying
>>736235860Indies and unironically some RPGM games are still kinda good. True indies, not industry plant shit like E33 where it cost $10 million dollars and outsourced to all the same studios that the AAA devs outsource to.
>>736235860SMT still doing great yeah
>>736235860No, jarpig consoomers are amongst the most subservient goycattle on the planet, if they'll buy anything anyway, why bother trying?
When was even the last time we got a decent, properly turn-based, four (five is allowed) niggas in a row JRPG? DQXI?I feel as if it's such an easy genre to do decent indie games of, yet there's, to my knowledge at least, nothing worthwhile.

>>736236479>I feel as if it's such an easy genre to do decent indie games ofYou need a good story and that is one of the many things indie devs can't do.
>>736236447SMT is skirting Ubislop territory with V. It's still a good game, but I'm certainly afraid of how far they'll go with the next SMT.
>>736236529Ah true, I did forget about that one.
>>736236529Combat system was top notch, i really liked the way elements worked in this one, where you could upgrade a demon's affinity with a specific element.shame about everything other than the combat though.
>>736236479Bug Fablesyou can get a fourth nigga for your row eventually
>>736235860I think japs got fired up after E33 success
>>736236652You didn't like the music?
>>736235860that's a png though
>>736236682Bug Fables looks nice, I will agree, but it's not "properly turn-based", right? Granted, I might've been unclear with that one; what I mean by "properly turn-based" is no action inputs. So no parries like E33, etc.
>>736235860Depends on how pic related turns out.
>>736236414E33 is true indie. Triple I indie, but as true as can be.
>>736236763I'm not really a music guy, i might vaguely notice music is good while i listen to it, but its really rare for any music from any game to stick with me to the point where i remember "that game had good music". Has to have a really strong melody, like SNES games did for me to remember them.
>>736235860Eh, we just need to wait for another big release. >>736236001Who the fuck ever said Vagrant Story is not a real Jrpg? If anything it's often praised as one of the best in the system
>>736238056People literally shit on it for months.
>>736238265well the game is 26 years old so "months" is meaningless in the span of time its been out. I am curious though, where are all these vagrant story threads you've been seeing?
>>736238595I mean this is just from this month alone, but I could make a collage.People don't have very nice things to say about this game, and it's one of my favorite jRPGS.
The best jrpg is made by west euros.
>>736235860What is the point of a traditional Turn-Based JRPG these days? Their plots are all dogshit so you can't even suggest it has some sort of storytelling advantage. Tactical RPGs are clearly superior if we are talking about gameplay complexity and depth, and ARPGs are better with regards to every other category. JRPGs are fucking boring, in fact they have been boring and obsolete since Legend of Zelda was released for the NES. The entire genre is a product of laziness, everything in a JRPG is the laziest way of doing things, from the level design to the storytelling to the visuals.
>>736238854There will always be retards, but in the grand scheme of things. Yeah, i fully support that 40/40 from famitsu.
>>736239051It is a really great game, and I can't love it enough.Just a shame people want it to be an action RPG instead of an SRPG.
>>736236001>Chain of Memories>Worst Kingdom Hearts gameDays is still worse, sorry Roxasfags
>>736238854>and i still like it, but the constant slow digging through menus bothers me more than i used toits genuinely insane if you think something this reasonable is "shitting on the game".
expedition 33 2
>>736237550Nope.
>>736235860Depends on the porn
If there are 1 million people who say they like jrpgs then of that 1 million there are only 100k real jrpg enjoyers and the other 900k are touristProve. Me.Wrong.
>>736235860>JaRPiG
>>736236479Do the atelier games count as niggas in a row? But I guess your frontline is only 3.
I remember when there was a time where I wouldn't dream of passing up the opportunity to play a Final Fantasy. I got to a safe place in my life again to actually buy stuff and I played FF XV and just sat there playing it for a few hours before turning it off and never picking it back up again. A lot of these rpgs just miss things. To be fair, it was probably a mistake making Elden Ring the first RPG I played coming back into it, with E33 following next year. It set this ridiculously high bar that I think these other developers aren't going to be able to live up to quite yet, not before AI is integrated with creativity the way it was with E33, as opposed to being a crutch for bad managers that can't make money.
