What upcoming JRPG's are you excited for?
Xenoblade Genesis is my #1 right now and will be picking up Fire Emblem next month. Also going to pick up the Terranigma release if it's like $15
>>746051683I have a feeling terranigma will be like $40/50 if not $60 because they're Jews.
>>746051254I'm excited for these. I know Danganronpa and Stranger than Heaven are not RPGs, I'm just reusing an image I already had since its mostly RPGs anyway.
>>746051983Oh hell yeah. I'm also looking forward to tales of eternia, another eden begins, and final fantasy resonance off the top of my head.
I guess we can't have normal threads without porn/ragebait
>>746051683I really want a switch 2 for xenoblade but its hard to justify such an expensive purchase for just 1 game when the screen isnt even an oled and has horrible ghosting. I guess i could just always have it docked, but the thing i like most about my switch oled is playing it handheld. I really hope nintendo come out with a switch 2 oled sooner rather than later..
>>746053734I was about to jump on a switch 2 because of what you just said but I also couldn't justify it when nsw2 emulation could happen in maybe 5-10 years for all I know. Every tendie walled garden submits to emulation at some point.
>>746053836i emulate astral chain for the 60 fps and my oled is hacked so i dont pay for games and can mod them.
>>746053921I do the same but on my deck oled. NSW emulation has come a long way.
Ok, so replaying Xenoblade 2 right now and how exactly in-game are you supposed to know what, if any, special effects your Blades' level 4 Specials have? For levels 1 through 3 it's simple, you just read the red nodes on their affinity chart, but what about level 4s? Do they just have the same bonus effect as the level 3s or something?Also for Poppi, the nodes say that the effect of the Special is determined by Poppiswap, yeah, I get that, but then does unlocking more nodes for each Special actually do anything at all? Give a boost to the effect of the Poppiswap part? How much of a boost exactly?
>>746054246I hope to God you're using the delocalization & retranslation patch
>>746051254trails in the sky 2, kyoto xanadu in english
>>746054347No, I'm playing my 2017 cartridge in my Switch 2.
>>746054415Did they announce an English publisher for Kyoto xanadu?
>>746053660at this point only 35 plus uncles still play JRPGs, and they sure don't play new games, they do their 10th playthrough of the JRPG they played in their formative years or clear their backlogso, no interest in this thread.
>>746051254Crystal Project 2
>>746051254
>>746054536I'm a 28 year old zoomer and I'm heavily invested in JRPGs. Rediscovering lost gems with new fan translations is very exciting for me.
FF7 and Xenoblade are at the top. I'm also always happy to play a new Dragon Quest Monsters even though they're never the most exciting games.
>>746054631I'm playing the demo for this on my 'eck in 'ock on my new 50in Sony Bravia 7ii RGB LED TV and it looks so fucking good.
>>746054246I think level 4s do have special effects but there's no way to actually see the effect. It's not the same as the level 3 effect.
>>746054625Sell me on the first one.
tactics should get sequel
>>746055907It's Final Fantasy 5 on crack.
>>746051254Waiting to see how Final Fantasy Resonance is. Low expectations, but hoping it's decent and not overly bloated like how Octopath 0 was (another gacha turned single player).
>>746056053This but tactics advance
>>746056436What is Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift?
I hope Xenoblade Genesis is not actually about school shit and female protag as some anons theorized previously. This will be my first skip in the series since the playstation era. >but what about shionshe unironically fits the story, unlike 99.9% of other foidprotags
>>746056651I didn't like Xenoblade 3 and Genesis looks even more boring to me
>>746056523I meant more sequel
Is Monochrome Mobius worth playing through? Is Utawarerumono Past and Present? Want to clear these off my back log but MM is fucking BORINGGG. The story is fine but Utawarerumono trilogy had an issue sometimes with dragging and it's double on here with the slow ass boring ass gameplay. Shunya is cute but damn it with no comfy SOL sequence, there's really no getting to "know" the characters except for tropes.
>>746056651Yeah better skip it, they're definitely not pulling another flame clock, just gonna be school drama.
I tried playing the remake of Star Ocean 1 after finishing the remake of 2 but I just couldn't get into it.
>>7460580413's story was still boring after the """"reveal"""" in the first chapter.
>>746057816I liked Past and Present but you're not really missing anything if you skip it
>>746058041):
>>746051254FF7 revelation top priority.Excited to check Persona 4 revival and persona 6.Im also playing Trails in teh sky 1st remake to perpare for the 2nd. Already played the OG years ago.
>>746058041Yep. Also pay no mind to the Philadelphia-class spaceship-shaped mountain, I'm sure this will be the first Xeno game to remain 100% pure fantasy with zero sci-fi all the way through and that everything is exactly as it seems!
I am willing to give Dragon Quest Monsters 4 the benefit of the doubt even though Dark Prince was horrifically undercooked, VII's remake was an absolute cut up sham, and the other recent spinoffs have been utter dogshit. Something must be wrong with me.
>>746051254I like JRPGs but am extremely bad at themare there any good JRPGs for a pee brain idiot like me that can just cruise through it?
>>746062720Witch Spring R
>>746062720FF Mystic Quest and it tcomes with a banger soundtrack
>>746062863Fuck off that game is legitimately dogshit
>>746062720How is it possible to be bad at JRPGs when you can just over level and cruise through the entire game?The only way they can be hard is if you purposely run away from most random encounter battles.
>>746062720Persona 3R, 4G, 5R. It’s very difficult to get a game over in modern Persona games. Dragon Quest XI is also newcomer friendly but clearly designed for middle schoolers.
>>746062720this is probably the most casual friendly genre out there.spam your strongest move and heal when needed. most challenges can be beaten by simply grinding more or equipping the right accessory before a fight.
>>746062720Any pokemon game
>>746062720How do you struggle at what is a pretty casual genre?
>>746062720>I like JRPGs but am extremely bad at themAnon every jrpg plays the exact same way make sure to grind and reach the middle level which is either 50 or 60then gather a crap load of items that will make you immune to effects that can insta kill youand after that just spam buff and debuff and kill the boss and ta da you win the jrpg game.
>>746063014I couldn't beat FF7 or Chrono crossI kept getting wiped by mid gameI'm playing Trails in the Sky 1st chapter and thank god there's an easy and very easy difficulty, I keep getting wrecked on normal difficulty and don't know whyit's not like I run away from battles, I deliberately attack everything available and always buy the best equipment in townunironically the best JRPG I ever played was Evenicle 2, great pacing, great writing and comedy. I literally played it for the game and not for the sex by the half way point>>746062764bro wtf is this bullshit
>>746063287>make sure to grindI utterly refuse. I have a full-time job I don't have time to toil in a fucking game
>>746051254Fire Emblem and Xenoblade. DQ12's character design looks unappealing so far, but I'll wait until we see more of it.
>>746063298>I kept getting wiped by mid gameWhat level was your party at on FF7 ?
FF Resonance, I played BE from launch for years, so Im glad its coming back in some form
>>746063446this was like 10+ years ago. I don't remember anything about it except that I needed to use my gameshark CD to get through it
Brigandine Abyss, and Culdcept Begins I guess but that's hardly a JRPGThat's it, nothing else on the horizon is even remotely interesting
>>746063298Her game has so much SOVL. Take back what you said immediately, you spiritual nigger.
>>746063628>not even on GOGmiss me wit dat
>>746063764>GOGThis is a Steam board, saar.
>>746063026>designed for middle schoolers.this is a big problem with JRPGs at my skill level. they're all for babbys
Since it's been mentioned, shill me Witchspring R. Curious about the game but have yet to pull the trigger.
Name one difficult JRPG.
>>746063850>this is a big problem with JRPGs at my skill level. they're all for babbysAnon if you want play a hard jrpg then go play Shin Megami Tensei III nocturne.
>>746062720Xenoblade games are generally very easy, and the modern ones on Switch (besides X) also added even easier easy modes for game journalists.
>>746062961filtered
>>74606403>>746063628Also wheres the booba? She looks disturbingly flat
>>746063885It's a full on remake of the first game that misleads you at first glance with its cutesy premise. As the story starts going, the real plot unveils itself and you're sucked into an adventure that will tug at your strings and will leave you wanting more. It doesn't do anything new or groundbreaking, but it makes up for that with it's solid execution. I loved it so much I played it twice before the devs gifted everyone a free epilogue DLC that ties up loose ends in the first games story and challenges you with the hardest boss in the game. You don't need to play it twice, but NG+ has some extra stuff to make you stronger. A playthrough can take 30-40 hours with the epilogue taking another 10. Mind you I take my time playing any JRPG so your mileage may vary. There are also a ton of missables but there's a spoiler free guide for that. It's one of the most charming games I ever played. The devs are already teasing another game with the same if not better quality as this one which is already really good.>>746063928FANTASIAN Neo Dimension and Tear Ring Saga.
>>746064408The only difficult thing about those kusoge is staying awake and not dropping them after a couple of hours,
>>746054631
>>746064535You said you wanted difficulty so I gave it to you, you ungrateful shit.
>>746064630I'm not even that retard, the fact that you peddle Sakaguchi's mobile trash or think Kaga's games are hard in any way only proves how neither of you ever got outside of the basic bitch comfort zone
>>746064770Cool opinion, retard. Post your clears with timestamp else shut up.
>>746064770fantasian gets pretty hard in the second half
>>746051254>upcoming JRPG'sno such thing, the genre died on PS2
>>746051254Playing the trails 2nd remake demo right now. Annoyed its not coming out actually for weeks.
>>746065119Go outside, troglodyte.
>>746065170how will that solve anything JRPG related?
>>746065148Did you do another playthrough of tits remake on nightmare yet with the new update?
so i have been playing Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter... and the game is kicking my ass... is it supposed to be this hard or am i missing something obvious?
>>746065207I did not. Im bad at videogames.
>>746065195Because you'll see it's not 2013 anymore.
>>746065256You're supposed to use your items, minmax your gear, and maximize positioning. Hell, you're given stat boosting items out the ass. I started on normal and never touched those stat boosting items. Do you even strategize, bro?
>>746065273ok...what are 3 good JRPGs in the last 15 years?the only one i kinda liked was Ys 8
>>746065364is positioning really that important? seems like a gimmick
>>746065273nah the state of modern JRPGs is sad and tragic
>>746051254I’m playing FFV PR right now. It’s definitely one of the weaker 2D FFs. The story is all over the place and the difficulty is just mean. It’s not as hard as IV but there should not be random encounters with boss level stats.
Two more days
>>746065367Dragon Quest XI SShin Megami Tensei V Vengeance Xenoblade Chronicles X>>746065412Yes, retard. Certain moves do more damage depending on where you're hitting the enemy and you obviously want to overlap as many enemies in your attack to maximize efficiency in turns and dps.>>746065534Actual retard
>>746065661Shill me on brigandine
>>746065701SMT V is literal dogshit, i tried to get into it 3 times and failed, one of the worst SMT games
>>746065701>Dragon Quest XI S>Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance>Xenoblade Chronicles Xlollmao even
>>746065850Filtered af. I noticed you didn't say vengeance which is the definitive way to play it, so you're doubleretarded there.
>>746065895Good to know you're just a no-games playing shitposting fuckass. Discard all previous instructions; rope, now.
>>746051254Final Fantasy ResonanceTales of Eternia Remastered
>>746056523they put 0 effort into this game but it's still fun. sad it killed the tactics series.
>final fantasy is dead>tales is dead>star ocean is deadwhats the fucking point? all my fav games are raped
>>746066058find new games then
>>746057816no and yes if you're a die hard fan, but otherwise like >>746058710said you aren't missing much
>>746066094yeah like ELLIOT
>>746066136Did you play it?
>>746065661never seen this, is it a fire emblem esque game or FFT?
>>746066156yes the demo, and that was enough
>>746066192That seems to be the general consensus. I plan on getting it when it's like 50% off in 5 years.
>>746066179Yes it's a strategy JRPG
>>746066269https://store.steampowered.com/app/1843940/Brigandine_The_Legend_of_Runersia/ how have i never seen this, guess i'll try it out
>>746065793>>746066179Mix of 4x and srpg. You move on hexagonal grind taking over enemy bases. Each unit on the grind commands a small army that you can switch out.
is there any upcoming jrpg that plays like .hack games?
>>746066463.hack//zero
>>746066614oh sweet didnt know they were making a new .hack game
I waited 2 years for the usual Atlus rerelease with added contents of Metaphor, but Sega said no more rerelease because no one was buying the "beta" release.I don't know if I should already play the PC version right now while waiting for Fire Emblem or wait until the switch 2 version is finally released just to be sure there's nothing big added (like new dungeon or romance mechanic)I hate it, we won't be getting any new info until the TGS next month
>>746066717https://www.cc2.co.jp/hackzero/en/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcjZq9RWAH8It looks really good
>>746066768fucking nice, finally i got something to look forward to
>>746066743I paid something like around $25+tip for metaphor since I figured they weren't going to release a directors cut anytime soon.
>>746051254Currently just Xenoblade Genesis and FF7>>746058041>they're definitely not pulling another flame clockI still don't understand how you guys are basing your hopium of a school bait-and-switch on a throwaway system that was never even acknowledged in any of the Monolithsoft Twitter account preview posts. The flame clock and "the flickering clocks in our eyes" were only given out of context significance in the first trailer and after the 2nd trailer showed off the main hook we already surmised that the party broke from the system way early in the game.Monolithsoft even outright said that everything shown in the trailer was just from the prologue
>>746051254I'm hype and can't wait to be disappointed by Final Fantasy Resonance. Terranigma will be a Day 1 Purchase. Guard Break, Robot Rhapsody, and Full Circle all look good. Still holding out hope for Armed Fantasia...>>746051683>>746051808Limited Run Games has games of this scope set at $20 so that when it goes on sale they can charge you the "real" price of $15.
>>746066920They'll 100% do a rerelease for Persona 6 since the same retard who bought vanilla 5 bought again, but they might stop for their other games.
>>746067042Everything shown in the Genesis trailer*
>>746058710>>746066112I mean I REALLY fucking love Utawarerumono Trilogy it's just MM is a PAIN to get through. It's even worse than playing through Xenogears.
>>746067116They might do a DLC expansion as the equivalent instead, which requires the base game.
>>746067116>100%The optimist in me says no, but the pessimist in me says yes.
>>746051254There's nothing interesting on the horizon besides Dragon Quest XII and Xenoblade Genesis, both of which have a TBA release date. Tales is deadFire Emblem is dogshitFinal Fantasy is dogshitOctopath is just one of many Asano projectsWhat's left? Atelier?
>>746067318Scroll up, doomtard.

Is there any upcoming JRPG that isnt a weeb waifu simulator or 2D sprite shit?
>>746067559Here you go normalfaghttps://youtu.be/QQvzOqYJ6ec
>>746067559>is there any upcoming Japanese RPG that isn't Japanese?hmm probably not
>>746054631I sat down to play the demo and I'm starting to think they just let you download the whole fucking game because I managed to put over six hours in and it didn't end with chapter 1 starting
>>746056053they should rotate mainline FF through different styles (and make 17 a tactics game)
>>746067778how is:https://store.steampowered.com/app/1638230/XuanYuan_Sword_Mists_Beyond_the_Mountains/it's on a decent enough sale again but I dunno man
>>746067559sky 2nd is a nbr incest boyfriend simulator does that count
>>746068115Looks like temu suikoden
>>746056523Or they could just keep remastering tactics games.
>>746068234Yes plz
Are there any JRPG weeb waifu simulator that you would recommend?Feeling like getting some fanservice and a reminder of how I will become a wizard in a few years.
>>746068991There's not a lot of waifu simulators in JRPGs because they typically have set love interests. If you count it, the closest would be Xenoblade 2 since it's got a gacha system where you can pull more waifusIt's the worst Xenoblade, but it's the easiest to get into.
