I played OT2 after many people strongly recommended it to me and i was really disappointed. it's like a collection of parallel subplots that eventually join into a single story at the very end. while these individual storylines are good by themselves, it's not enough to compensate the lack of a central plot. worst of all, none of the other party members exist in each other's storylines so it never really feels like they're travelling together, which i thought was the whole point of the game.
the gameplay has some cool ideas but the grinding is awful (probably because i skipped most sidequests, which sucked) and many boss fights take a fucking eternity for no good reason.

there's people that really love these games so if they look appealing to you by all means give them a try because you never know.

>5 most recent JRPGs

Good but stupidly easy after awhile, ended up finishing the game with a team of Napaea, Pixie and Angel to make the game slightly harder
>Golden Sun GBA duology
Great gameplay but I ended up skipping the dialogue, the writing and story are just a small step above Neptunia writing it's that bad

Not as good as PSII but still one of the better JRPGs of the 16-bit era

Loved it to bits, played the PS1 version and spent a good two months on it.

Finished Reverie on Nightmare a week ago. I went into the final fight with a total goober squad because I was expecting another multi-team battle lol

Also beat the postgame boss, they barely got to attack. The inverse difficulty curve in this game is always a little wack. I know Abyss exists but from what I heard it's so suffocatingly overtuned that you basically have to use super optimized meta strats to not die immediately, so I had my fun with Nightmare.

Have to finish up some Daydreams still, and I also wanna do the Trials. More often than not the Daydreams are pretty good (Though I thought the Tita one for example was kind of a stinker, did we really need another "test your resolve" dungeon) and the Trials are genuinely badly designed, they barely account for the characters you're actually using, there's almost no thought in encounter design even though they limit your characters.

I'm really itching to jump into Daybreak, already got it downloaded but I'll have to be a little more patient and finish things up first.

I used to burn out like crazy playing these games, but for some reason I've been binging through these for the past 6 months or so, starting by finishing up Azure and then resuming my CS2 playthrough from a decade ago all the way to now finishing Reverie. I dunno, I kinda like the momentum I'm having. Maybe I should take a break between DB1 and 2 though, knowing what 2's reputation is like

Really love DC2 but I still prefer the original. It’s weird. I know it’s more than just nostalgia too as I played both as a kid and 2 is far and away the better game. Yet there’s something just so magical and unique about the OG that the sequel could just never capture.

Also, Jet Black Steels may not be limited like the previous game but the grind to get them is tedious as hell.

Abyss is weird. It's by dar the hardest a Trails game has ever been, but like you said theres's practically only one solution to evrerything and instead of hitting your head against a wall a billion times trying to find it, it's legit better to just look up a guide.

>S-tier for 2
Osvald, Cassti, Partitio, Tenemos, Hikari

I'd definitely argue 2 has the stronger cast, however if you took those four from 1 and put them in their own game with a connected story, I'd play the fuck out of it.

People glaze anything they don't have. When this game was lost in Japan you looked like a cool hipster for playing it.

This is a hot take for JRPG standards but I think Kiseki is the most consistently enjoyable JRPG franchise in existence. No other franchise has it where every single entry without a single exception isn't at bare minimum good and a lot of fun to play through. There are some Tales games I never want to play again, some Final Fantasy, some Dragon Quest, some SMT but I would happily playthrough every single Kiseki again.

P5 is way better when you fast forward through text messages and use a guide for confidants so you can get back to the plot and dungeon crawling ASAP. The game is really long and drags its feet every chance it gets.

I stacked the forbidden shield (increases encounter rate,) and a accessory that also increases encounter rate while having passives from thief, dancer, and scholar that give extra experience and jp. I was just planning on bringing my off team up to speed with a level 32 dungeon. They were around level 25 when I started. By the end of the dungeon 1 hr later they were 45 and outlevelled my main team (which were around 40). The captone bosses for each story are around 45 so I had to unequip the items and passives because I still want some challenge.
I'm honestly thinking of deleting the save and starting again without messing it up for myself.

>>740868645
Funnily enough for me its the opposite. I wish it leaned a bit more towards Zelda and had a bit less dialogue and scripting, but its not a dealbreaker by any means. Its hitting a good middle-ground.

The issue with Persona 5 I think is that it has hundreds of little cutscenes that it just doesn't need to have because they add literally nothing, there's no new plot revelations in them and there's no character moment. It's just constantly telling you shit that you already know with characters driveling on as exposition dumps.
>>
>>740868890
Yeah a bit more customization wouldn't be unwelcome. From what I saw it seems like that's limited to weapon buffs and a handful of accessories. I suppose whether that's sufficient progression will come down to just how varied those can get. We'll see.

I feel like Metaphor has spoiled me on time management. Going from Metaphor where you can instantly see the next confidant rank up after finishing the previous one makes playing P5 Royal annoying as shit every time I need to waste a time slot spending time with someone to build up points for the next rank up. Thankfully I hear Royal gives you so much extra time that it's basically impossible to not have all confidant's and social stats maxed but I still wish it was like Metaphor. Metaphor has made me realize too that I generally don't like the time management stuff being harsh since I just don't find that decision making to be interesting at all and would massively prefer it just be there to pace the game out and give you more than enough time to do all the shit you want to do.

I almost maxed everything blind on the standard version, supposedly Royal adds like an additional half a year of playtime.

It really doesn't make sense. It's a series with a ton of filler. So they decided to make a game that is pure filler and then put filler within that game that is pure filler.
More shit happens in reans games? More shit happens in one fucking chapter of reans games compared to entire games. More shit happens in Ys games and even Ys games are getting bashed by the filler bat.
>>
>>740876295
Yeah you're spot on. I have no idea why the fuck they didn't at least come into development with a skeleton of a plot so they could at least fill out the general beats of a story. Would have absolutely saved the games. I'm hoping with them doing the remakes and actually taking a proper break before making their next games that they're actually planning out everything up to the end of the series this time.

I'm actually just getting into Trails since last year. I didn't start with the remake, I played the original Sky trilogy, and just on Sunday I finished Azure. Five really great games. I'll move on and play the rest of the series, but I'm taking a little bit of a break first to play some non-JRPGs. Playing 007 First Light now.

>>740880579
I couldn't handle how slice of life the first chapter was. It felt like nothing happened for the 20 hours I played and then I just dropped it. I'll go back to cold steel.
>>
>>740880579
prepare for a drop in quality.
the games are still enjoyable. but not as much as those five.
and i'd give the remake a go sometime. it's really fun and personally i think it is the best trails has ever looked.
>>
>>740880579
Ignore the 2nd retard plenty of people prefer the Cold Steel games to the first 5, it just depends entirely on your personal preferences for characters and tone. The games are all around the same level of quality until you get to Daybreak 2 and things genuinely do nose dive.
>>
>>740880730
You have to know what you're in for. I get why some people don't like it, but I like these characters and I appreciate how the game takes its time.

>>740881025
I've heard people say that, but I'll keep an open mind. I actually already bought the remake. It looked amazing, and while I wasn't ready to replay the whole game, I did play about an hour of it just to experience it a little bit. It's really impressive seeing this game like that. I'll definitely play through the whole game at some point, but it's just too close when I played the original. The reason I didn't just wait for the remake is that I didn't want to have to wait for the sequel, and obviously I'm glad I did it that way because I've played through five games before the SC remake came out.

>>740881221
I've also heard that Daybreak 2 is not very good, but I hear people say the game that came after that gets things back on track. Either way I'm committed to this series now.
>>
>>740881342
>I've also heard that Daybreak 2 is not very good, but I hear people say the game that came after that gets things back on track. Either way I'm committed to this series now.
I would say that yeah. Daybreak 2 specifically is just a really low point.
>>
>>740881342
Yeah, try not to get bogged down on how opinionated people are. Personally I think CS is worse an arc than what we have gotten with Calvard as an arc, but I can't in good faith say I would expect more than 2 of every 10 people that play Daybreak 2 will like it.
But really, for some reason or other some games after the first five have reputations like that. Some hate CS2, some hate CS3, some hate CS4. I personally found CS1 the worst and yet it actually has a pretty good reputation among the fanbase.

>I've also heard that Daybreak 2 is not very good, but I hear people say the game that came after that gets things back on track
Daybreak 2 almost killed my enjoyment with the series but Horizon was indeed pretty good, but honestly I’m ready to move into a new arc.
Calvard should not have been this fucking long, especially since they have you explore like 80 percent or so of the region in the first game.
>>
>>740881938
yes/no
i'd agree daybreak 2 should not exist.
but the arc is deserving of 3 games at least
just like cs
3 games i get, but it being 5 fucking games long is way, way too much
there was no justification for it.
>>
Finishing up Tobira Densetsu, only have FEX and the Final Door left, I already know that the ending is going to wreck me if the sentiment messages had me tearing up.

If the combat was a bit more involved than the standard RPGM combat template and it was less guide dependent on figuring out what the fuck to do at times this might be the best JRPG I've played in terms of living up to its ambition
>>
The only game I am playing at present is RPG-adjacent. Arknights: Endfield. In some ways it reminds me of a PS2-era JRPG. I felt that way about Star Rail as initially before 2.0 so hopefully HG doesn't shit the bed and it stays the course.

Last RPGs I played were replays of Phantasy Star IV and Shining Force II.

I'll probably dig thru the PS2 catalog and find something I haven't played yet.

I started Star Ocean The Last Hope HD this week, first time playing a Star Ocean game.
I like it; the premise is cool, I found the characters immediately likeable, the combat was a little awkward at first but now that I'm getting the hang of it and getting more skills it feels a lot better, music is very nice too.
The character models are... quite something, but I honestly don't hate them. Even Lymle with her very doll-like face is kind of... endearing?
Reimi having a FAT ass caught me completely off guard, very revolutionary for a pre-2010 game made in Japan.

Daybreak 2 had some subtle tweaks to the game engine and responsiveness during combat that made it feel like it played more "smoothly" than Daybreak 1. The island arc was kino. Marchen Garten was a bit much but I played around in there a ton. It didn't do much for the overall story, but I had fun with the game as it was. It's really not any worse than CS2, but it gets lots of hate.

It's a gacha game, but the F2P is quite generous and it has some of the nicest 2D/3D JRPG pixel art you will ever see. There's a main story which currently has 3 arcs and other modes. Cool game. Made me understand why a lot of japanese gamers just want to play gacha now.
>>
>>740891306
You may possibly like older games, try the original FF7 since you seemed interested in the remake/sequel. Newer JRPGs are much more overbearing if you don't like things that feel long winded. Older JRPGs are much more to the point and there is a lot of storytelling/world building in the various setpieces and environments presented during the game.

>>
>>740894621
I haven't played that one, but they've changed the game a number of times. The GBA entry for example buffs Nash and nerfs Mia, so the whole "Nash is incredibly dogshit" memes make less sense. I'm not sure which version the steam remaster follows, but I'm sure it's fine. As long as the sprites are good and they still have the fully voiced cut scenes (to this day, can you make another game with a fully hand drawn musical sequence where one of your characters sings an entire song? No? Lunar too based).
I love this fucking game. Most people have a character archetype they naturally gravitate towards (my wife likes "the flashy showman who's performative confidence is a thin veneer over deep insecurities" for example) and Alex is my kind of protagonist. Relentlessly positive, proactive, and motivated. A true Good Guy. I dunno, I just don't really like modern stories that seem to always focus on complex gray characters.
Just give me a good guy who wants to fight bad guys so that he can save the girl and save the world.

Tangentially related, but anyone that has played DQ and Persona, hell maybe even Trails, should get into Yakuza. The controls are simple enough but fun, and you'd feel right at home with most of the writing.
Talesfags that have never tried Star Ocean and viceversa should try the other.

It really isn't, it's a great proof of concept but it's massively lacking basically every single aspect that isn't art direction. The gameplay is neat but gets stale by about half way through cause the game just stops evolving and you have no way to properly customize your characters because you only get 1 job advancement and everyone requires more PP and AP so you use the same shit on everyone. The story is painfully generic and the characters are one note and don't really feel important to the story beyond being a collection check list. I really want them to make another game in the same style.

Does Nier Automata count? That one and Drakengard. And I played a few minutes into the first Xenoblade.
>>
>>740906548
They are, but you could still finish each of them in two evenings despite the hard bosses. Most of your playtime is repeating boss fights because you keep dying.
>>
>>740906548
What you have to understand is Falcom fans are really, really, really, REALLY shit at games. Like absurdly so. They struggle with JRPGs, that's the level here. They have to use CheatEngine to clear Rock, Paper, Scissors challenges.
Ys is almost braindead easy, but to them it's one of the hardest challenges in their lives.
>>
>>740906875
Ah yes, this is definitely the opinion of someone who played the old Ys games and knows what he's talking about and not just some obnoxious shitpost.
>>
>>740907107
The games where you famously bump into enemies for 30min to outlevel the entire game and remove all challenge? I bet you struggled with Vagullion for days.

>>740905383
I like the character designs in this but I can't justify getting a full price game with my current JRPG backlog so I'll wishlist it for later.

>The main reason is the progression system it has.
LOL
>>
>>740905878
I haven't played the game yet, what makes the progression system good?
>>
>>740909514
Title system that rewards playing the game well that unlocks more shit for characters the more you use them in a very satisfying feedback loop. Same as Vesperia but not dog shit since Graces doesn't blueball you on all the fun gameplay tools for half it's run time.
>>
>>740909612
Sounds cool.
My expectations about the game just became higher.
>>
>>740832791
I was 3/4th through a Xenoblade 3 replay when they announced Switch 2 upgrades for all three games, so now I'm replaying 1. About done with the first wave of sidequests in Colony 9.
>>
>>740909674
And yes despite the other anons coping Graces just flat out does have arguably the best combat in the series.
>>
>>740909727
Nintendo saving you from a mid game and giving you diamonds instead
>>
>>740909767
I mean, that IS an opinion I have read often, so when someone jumps in to say the gameplay is bad but can't even be assed to explain how, I just assume it's a shitpost.
>>
>>740910136
because it limits combo expression and perverts a combat system literally designed for aerial combat into two halves: one half is flashy combo tree bullshit that has ruined tales combat, the other is spam b artes
to add insult to injury, you have to be holding guard all the time to get cc back quickly, you can trivialize combat because a lot of it is easy to dodge
people can cope all they want about vesperia taking a while to open up all they want. someone with more than a 2 digit iq would play around with multiple characters until you can either do ridiculous combos as yuri, not have to touch the ground as judith, or you can just nuke everything with rita

vesperia, xillia 2, destiny dc, destiny 2 and rebirth all have better combat systems than graces.

let me tell you something you rascal you. back in 2014 or 2015 or so,the whole brown x360/PS3 pissfilter generation, combined with university taking up almost all of my time, meant I hadn't really been gaming much for some time. I got a PS4 in 2015 and I wanted to play games again and explore some genres that I had very little exposure to until then. I started playing some JRPG's for the first time. And I got the most vanilla, the most bland and the most 'meh' tales game (according to the fanbase): Tales of Zestiria. Let me tell you: It was warm, it was colourful, it was a classic JRPG style journey where you leave your hometown to explore cities, towns, fields, the world. That bland, basic bitch jrpg made me fall in love with games again.

Haven't played myself but reviews list out issues of crashing, improper ui and overall bad port.
They modernized the text to remove corniness which is up 2 u.
They redid the voice acting which is a bad thing imo, but im not sure what the current version is like.

Maybe get it and refund it if its bad? Emulate it for free is the way id likely go.

Romancing saga and saga frontier are all different games so dont worry which one you pick.

The idea is that you (can) play multiple times and you get different PoVs with each main character.
Saga Frontier 2 changes this a bit by letting you play every character in one large coherent story.

Also resubbed to FFXIV, been having a great time so far.

Any Wild Arms fag around? I've been debating on getting into it for a while since I love Symphogear but I always get lazy and wait for a bit. How are the games, are they hard, long, etc. Anything I should know before going in like true ends and etc?

No game where the devs have to account for N^2 pairing is going to have good romance.

a remake of Abyss with Graces combat would be the best JRPG ever made
it will never happen, sadly

Sometimes I wonder who are the goyim keeping Kemco afloat.

Trails in the sky is the best and you're cucking yourself out of the best experience. Also,

99% of the western fanbase played Trails out of order through no fault of our own.

>>740942450
Shan't be playing 20-game-long series that will fail to amount to anything, the existence of later games does in fact ruin the first 2-3
