Why are jrpgs so long?
Are the mods too slow at banning youtube screenshot threads?
long is my dick
>>745926923never played one
One of those games is 4x as long as the other
>>745927005why would they be banned?
Chrono trigger seems reasonable. Not sure If i would have used that in the OP.
>>745926923Chrono Trigger takes an afternoon to beat.Vagrant Story takes about a day to beat.Dark Cloud 2 takes a weekend to beat.Final Fantasy X takes about half a day to beat.Final Fantasy XIII takes about an afternoon to beat.Most JRPG's can be beaten in a day or so, the worst offenders are games like Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy XV, they take about a week to beat.
>>745927193>Speedread everything, not caring about the lore and characters
>>745927192girls cant even make it through pokemon
>>745927261Even if you paid attention to every detail in Chrono Trigger, you'd still start on Friday afternoon and be at Queen Zeal on Saturday evening which is most of the game.
Modern JRPGs are too fucking long. The original Final Fantasy 7 you can knock out in like 40 hours.SNES JRPGs are like 20-30 hours long, some even shorter like SMRPG can be blitzed in like 10.Cause you had to make shit count when you only had so much fucking space on a cartridge.We gave these retards gigabytes to work with and all they did was make shit movies that get in the way of your fucking video game.
>>745927261You're replying to somebody that eats feces for sexual pleasure, what do you expect?
it's the ride not the destination.
>>745927330>We gave these retards gigabytes to work with and all they did was make shit movies that get in the way of your fucking video game.This, bigger memory sizes just bloated game and inflated budgets. these fuckers were better when they had to juggle 64 mb modern devs are wasteful in comparison.
>>745927338FFXV is one of the longest fucking games I've ever played.And I say that as someone that loves long-winded journeys.
>>745926923padded with text, random encounters and cutscenes
>>745926923ew looks like a trans
>>745927330I feel like 30-40 hours is about as long as JRPGs should be, at least for the main story, go wild with the postgame grindan stuff if you want cuz I'm certainly not going to be bothering with it. That's enough time to tell a big fuck-off adventure story with a bunch of colorful characters and satisfyingly power scale the party from schlubs to demigods, too much longer and chances are it's just really fucking drawing it out (once I hit the 30 hour mark I start ignoring shit and sprinting to the end anyway). I'd rather finish a game wanting more of it than thanking god that it's finally over.
>>745926923>fat black woman has a stupid opinionand the world keeps on turning.
>>745926923Single player video games should only range between 50-150 hours
>>745927437I finished FFXV when it came out and I cant remember anything from that 60 hours
>>745927005You dont report them.
>>745927136There's a possibility that's the point of the video, but hell if I'm going to watch it to find out.
>>745926923Please won't someone think of the dad gamers and the zoomers with fried brains!!!
>>745926923Story based games, like JRPG's and regular RPG's is fine in my honest opinion. You're basically reading an interactive book. Action games on the other hand should minimize time as much as possible while having plenty of replayability.
>>745928078Yeah it's almost impossible to differentiate the campaign from random quests in FFXV.By the time you realize how the game works, you've already done 30% of the exploration in the game. It's long as balls.
>>745927193I wish I was unemployed like a fucking loser
>>745928714Even when I had a job I was a loser, my mother is very upset!
>>745926923>AYO>*smack lips*>DIS JAY ARR PEE GEES BE TAKIN TOO DAYUM LONG, AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR DAT
>>745928801exactly, nobody has time to play a 120 hour long JRPG when they used to be 20-30 hours long.
>>745928889how many hours per week do you waste shitposting here?
Has there ever been a game that ran longer than 60 hours and justified the runtime?
Most zoomers' attention span is FUBAR
>>745928981none of yo dam bidness
>>745929018They're not teenagers anymore you fucking dumbass. Most of them are in their late 20's now
because only no life weeb troons with all the free time in the world play them
>>745929018@grok what does fubar mean?
>>745929110see? you have plenty of time, yet you decide to waste it here, arguing with strangers. and even if you win the argument, your victory will be scattered to the wind once the thread gets archivedplay a game, read a book, draw. just don't bullshit others that you "have no time" when you are posting here
>>745928981I come here to shit post while I am rendering video, and I get entertainment out of mocking you dickheads.now cry about it.
>>745929425>I come here to literally waste timethank you
>>745929238I'm not even the original anon you were talking to. Ironically you're the one arguing with ghosts, and yet you scold me for wasting my time.
>>745929465we all are wasting time herebut i'm not the one saying "i have no time for long games, i have to shitpost in fourchin"
>>745929461correct, while I render videos that I got paid to do, you know, work, so while I am wasting my time replying to you, I am waiting for my render to finish up so I can post and literally do nothing for the rest of the year thanks to the income it generates.Get gud, use your gaming PC's for more then just cranking your dick.
>>745929553but I didn't say that either
>>745929580all those words, you could've be doing something else
Random battles every single step and turn base combat stretches out their length.
>>745929593so you're just wasting time by just interjecting in a others' conversation
>>745929625>Random battles every single step and turn base combat stretches out their length.The nice thing about Chaos Rings is that you can disable encounters/random battles any time.
>>745929616I did, I finished up 3 invoices.You really are retarded.
>>745926923too many ellipses
>>745929665I'm afraid so.
>>745929731>it took me weeks to figure this outGod, normalfags are retarded.Probably counted them manually while playing through it all instead of spending maybe an hour researching and datamining game files.
>>745928981waste? I'm constantly walking, it's not a waste!
>>745928714Cool your jets anonymouse, I'm unemployed and it took me longer to beat those games. They are supposed to be savoured.
>>745927193What the fuck are you talking about
>>745926923>Why are jrpgs so long?for garbage like persoyna it's because they repeat the same shitty dialogue atleast 50 times.
>>745929982I've been wanting to do this exact thing but I'm not sure if its worth it. How many steps are you getting in daily? Is there enough space on that thing or do you have to be extra careful to not step on the sides?
I recently put about 20 hours into chained echoes, that game could have really benefited from just a much more restricted scope I think. It wanted SO BADLY to be xenogears and it really suffered for it.
>>745930157So a few notes, I'm 6'6 so I have very long legs. It really depends what I am doing while I am walking, and what speed I am walking at. If I'm editing reports/spreadsheets for work, I typically walk at like 2.5mph because otherwise it is hard to click accurately and type while walking. If I'm watching a show or playing a game on a controller, I typically walk at 3.5 mph. So far I find that games like slay the spire or JRPGs are best for walking, because I can really zone out and get into the game and forget about the fact that I'm walking. I'll typically go for 1.5 hour bursts, but my room gets hot as hell with the treadmill, my monitors, the pc, and the Texan weather. The whole setup cost me like $500 for the pad and the desk. Honestly it is a bit of a novelty, but it's nice to be able to get my blood flowing without needing to go out into the blistering heat. I also bike a lot for cardio so I try to mix it up.
>>745930501to answer the question, if I'm walking at those speeds and doing those activities then I don't fall off. If I'm trying to play starcraft 1 on it, then I fall off
>>745926923>sheboonOf course she's complaining about the length of the video game. Got the attention span of a monkey
>>745930501Have you ever swum to that island?
>>745930198That's really the problem with a lot of indie pseudo-JRPGs, they get inspired by stuff like SNES-era FF or Chrono Trigger or the like but then just cram that shit full of cutscenes and random interruptions and other bullshit because they're releasing them on modern consoles so they don't have to worry about memory sizes. Like holy shit let me play the fucking game I paid for.
>>745928889If the games good why wouldn't you want more content? You don't have to complete a game
>>745930608nah that is just some rich neighborhood around where I live. I would be worried about water moccasins getting in that water (venomous snakes). I have been told there are alligators too but I have never seen one of those in Houston
>>745927193>Final Fantasy X takes about half a day to beat.Bro it's 40 hours long
>>745926923the genre is all about adventures and journeysand it takes time to do that
>>745930823I wouldn't swim to that island either, but I would want to.
>>745930501>>745930608Nice pictures anon
>>745927193If you want people to take your troll attempt seriously, you need to make it more believable
>>745930871I think it takes like 18 hours to play through the campaign fully.
>>745930649Chained echoes had a lot of that, it just tacked mech combat on because "heh xenogears did it," and it's easily the weakest part of the game. The art in Chained Echoes and Sea of Stars was wonderful, it's just the writing that fell short. CE was much closer to being good, but SOS's writing made me turn it off in about an hour. The JRPGs of the 90s simply had better writing and pacing. I don't want to stumble through a 30 year old programmer's attempt at writing war and peace with reddit memes sprinkled throughout
>>745930921Thanks, I would love to get more into portrait photography but I'm not sure how to break into it. So landscapes and architecture it is
>>745927158Because they're dogshit and 100% off topic. It's never about the games its either baiting or about the faggot eceleb
>>745931043You've never played it. Just shut the fuck up already, retard.
>>745931272What do you mean, I have the game right here.
>>745931231>>745927158I have actually seen the channel in the OP, her taste isn't horrible. She has at least played most of the good PSX jrpgs including Xenogears so she has played more than 99% of /v/
For me it's ninomae ina'nis
>>74593131090% of those hours are you just jerking off to the different kpop scenes and you know it.
>>745931310Kill yourself. Blow your brains out. Do the world a favor.
>>745931378Name one time I felt overwhelmed with lust
but i like how long JRPGs are i think they should be longer
>>745927005if they banned these low quality threads, the board activity would go down by 80%. site traffic is more important than quality
>>745927270Pokemon games past Gen 4 have a fuckton of filler that could be trimmed.
>>745926923JRPGs are only long if you grind and complete side quests
Not a JRPG but I did one playthrough of Rogue Trader with no DLCs. I one round nearly every combat on the second hardest mode (I think) with my wife Argenta and killed half the companions. The game still took me over 100 hours. It discouraged me from starting again with the DLC
>>745931798how is the quality of the dialogue/story/world building in rogue trader? I think 40k is cool but I'm not a huge CRPG guy
>>745926923>reading too tough!
>>745926923>Too long>Games ranging from 20 - 60 hours to 100%>Too longTry a game that takes 250 - 300 hours to 100%. If the game isn't taking you over 1/3rd of the year to beat playing it 2+ hours a night every night, it's not too long.
>>745926923Time appears to be going by slow when you’re not having fun.
>>745926923They're long because a lot of them are poorly written with filler. Or they're poorly written because they're full of filler. I can't tell which causes the other. I definitely know they can trim a good 70% of the plot in nearly all JRPGs and tell a better more constrained story but they don't. They're 40 hour behemoths going to some boring backwater town to help the local village chief save people you don't give a shit about
I blame persona. It made life sim shit popular and now every jrpg needs 100 hours of filler and character bounding.
If anything, they're not long enough. Usually they're only 40 hour journeys and they end before you even get to play with a full toolkit. I don't even care much about the story, I just want to explore some dungeons and beat some monsters.
Only "modern" JRPGs are exhaustively long, with some rare exceptions for older games. It's just a symptom of modern gaming in general, and a lot of JRPGs got tricked into thinking lots of filler side content to pad time = good.
>>745926923To appease no-lifers who have literally nothing else going for them.
