Show me an JRPG with worse combat than Tales of series, I'll wait.
final fantasy (all of them)dragon quest (all of them)
Falcom's asset flip slop
>>746557969Most jrpgs are turn based making then inferior by default.
>>746558569action based combat is for browns
>>746558595>he's too brown to be able to strategize on the flyOof!
>>746557969All of them.
>>746557969Star Ocean.
>>746558595Ah yeah spamming normal attack in 99% of fights which are against trash mobs is so superior.
>>746558595all combat is for browns by definition
cant be worse than trails, ys, skies of arcadia, or ff12
You're wrong. They aren't JRPGs at all.
Chrono Trigger lol. What a shit show
sex with milla
>>746561075True, the combat in that was boring as fuck.
Have you played Riviera The Promised Land? How does a weapon breaking every two goddamn fights sounds like to you? Yeah it fucking sucks
>>746561095Why is she obsessed with JewDough's big hands
>>746558738Actually this. Tales battle system is garbage but SO is it's (supposed) rival series and is the Pepsi of bad battle systems.
>>746560508Solid point, they are ARPG’sAlso Arise is great fuck you OP
>>746557969Summon Nightplays pretty much the same as the old Tales games, but with only 1 characterpretty straightforward downgrade
What's wrong with juggle slop?
any tactical rpg gridshit
>>746557969Skyrim
Any JRPG with turn-based combat.
not rpg but any survival horror game
xenoblade
Tiger Handheld's Doug
>>746557969Pic related.One of the worst JRPGs ever period, combat included.
people will say turn based rpgs are boring but then go play xcom for 500 hours
dragon quest of course (don't kill me it's a joke)
>>746562519nice strawman
>>746557969Tales of was fine before Graces F sharted the system for all eternity.
>>746562572its not a strawman if you know people that do this. youre mistaking that my referencing them is referencing you
>>746557969 half of the tri ace lineup
>>746562872you're ignoring the majority of people who don't say this and generalizing the words of a few
>>746561095>Chose female form to seduce menMilla is based
>>746557969If you think Xillia 1 and 2 have bad combat, then you need to rethink your opinion. Xillia's combat system is way far more fun and better than any other Tales of game. Playing as Jude in Xillia 1 and doing Pivot Snapping while being a nimble doctor and punching faces in as well as being Ludger fucking Kresnik having a weapon overdose which feels amazing feels far more satisfying than lets say for example playing as early game Yuri, Veigue, Asbel or Alphen.Best girl: Fake Milla.
>>746558595>I can't articulate why something is better or worse because I'm too dumb, so I'll just call the other guy brownSubhuman.
>>746563057She was created then gaslit into believing she was Maxwell
>>746562541This isn't Japan. It's okay to acknowledge that DQ sucks. It's the One Piece of vidya, nobody who isn't so deep into sunk cost fallacy that they're indoctrinated gives a fuck about it.
>>746561225>Also Arise is great fuck you OPArise is a good game but a bad Tales of game.
>>746562405Xenoblade 1 and 3 yes, not X or 2. Also Xenosaga 2.
>>746562519Probably because most turn based combat is mindless, shallow and repetitive while tactical grid combat has depth and is dynamic
>>746558307FF7 Rebirth has better combat than every Tales game combined
>>74655796999% of 'em.
>>746565594lol
>Crtl+F>search "breath of fire" or "bof" >0 resultsheh, nice.Need to pick up bof3 after finishing up bof4 (first bof game since I've randomly found it on gog)
>>746558889this is as reductionist as saying all action games have the depth of Elder Scrolls.
Reminder that Tales of Symphonia is the most overrated game of all time.
>>746566718It really isn't.
>>746557969I hate tactical RPG grid style combat or whatever the fuck it's called that FF Tactics does. Can not get into that shit at all. Boring as fuck.
>>746565594lmao
>>746566802Are games like that even considered being JRPG? I reckon it's in its own genre (turn based strategy). Though I guess there are some games that combined them but they're very rare, like Trails of the sky I think has that combat system.
>>746558738>>746561173is it that bad? should I not bother with this series at all?
>>746562882Radiata Stories had such promise but it's almost obvious that's the game is unfinished. Really sucks the player is only able to control the MC.
