Why is it always knight, mage, healer. Is there any canonically unique main parties in rpgs? Like maybe an orc protagonist with a necromancer and an ardent.

Physical dmg/tank
Magic dmg/offensive support
Healing, defensive support
It just works

Why is it always a stupid faggot retard anon posting an example from media that is parodying the medium as if it had any fucking relevance

the three major roles of most RPGs are healer, tank and DPS
a knight is usually a DPS but can be a tank, a mage is typically a DPS and in Konosuba's case Aqua is a priestess which is a healer
that is the ultimate trio you can divide a party into neatly without doubling on abilities or requirements or missing any, like dividing the colorwheel into blue, red and yellow
sure you can toss green and orange in there if you need it but those three do the job best
in this case they did effectively toss in a fourth in the form of kazuma, a rogue, who is also a DPS and you'll notice typically those are the ones you can have the most of

you're also conflating roles with races and classes

orc is a race
necromancer and ardent are classes
they usually take on certain roles and you might be able to subvert that but they're ultimately still not roles and thus the trio isn't broken
you can absolutely play a game with a bunch of DPS and just absolutely haul ass shoot piss kill quick and be done with it, you can play with a buncha tanks but that's slower, and playing with a buncha healers is like giving the flower girl at a wedding the role of setting up the pyrotechnics, you don't do that unless you want things going to shit and someone crying

You forgot rogue you dumb nigger. Every party's got to have a rogue to pick chests and check for traps.

>the form of kazuma, a rogue, who is also a DPS
Kazuma can't do shit in terms of DPS though. The only thing he's really capable of is tard wrangling his party.
>>
>>737249886
he's still effectively a DPS since he's no tank or healer and he does some damage, of all three he's mostly that
but you're right he's more like
emotional support

>can't even go in dungeons or attack enemies if party members are nearby

tfw Kazuma rampages his way through a castle and its elite guards and one shots a hero

Kazuma is a pretty solid rogue, but he can only play as one when he's with a party that's above room temperature IQ. When he's with his main party, he has to spend all his energy tardwrangling.

How come there's no game where a realistic anon gets isekai'd and he has to be a game character with his true ugly self?
>>
>>737249886
He's a support rouge
