They say Final Fantasy is in decline now. So what RPG series does it better?
rpgs are bad
>>738253379>So what RPG series does it better?Any of them that accept the fact that they're JRPGs instead of seemingly being afraid of the fact
>>738253379I am of the opinion that straightforward, linear story RPGs like the FF series are in a dark age. Not gone, but somewhat maligned and not reaching the highs they once did.

>>738254110I don't think wrpgs are doing so hot anymore
>>738254110>JNot interested. People that use that term don't tend to have opinions on the genre that I respect.
>>738254191You might argue that modern analogue to that is action games like AC, Stellar Blade and Wukong who managed to have jrpg-level story without its traditional baggage (but I dont play any of them).

>>738253379None of them to be fair
JRPGs, esp. Lore heavy ones are made for NEETs.Yamauchi was right.
>>738255638>octopath>forgotten sequelare you serious? it has the most shills among JRPG fans right now. Everyone who hated the 1st saying 2nd is a masterpiece, etc.
>>738256703Yamauchi was an hypocrite
>>738253379>They say Final Fantasy is in decline now.It's not.Final Fantasy instantly plummeted immediately after the Square + Enix merge, and it consistently remained on a stable level of mediocrity since then.
