>new character joins the party>they're severely underleveledWhy do JRPGs always do this?
to let you build the character however you want
>>750691858I usually interpret that as meaning that I'm overleveled, but that may just be me
>all the games where you can befriend cute anthro npcs to join your group are comfy town life sims with no action, drama or adventure to speak offsad
>>750691858Because if the game has non-streamlined leveling mechanic, players can choose how to build the new character
>>750692018Where are these games?
>>750692217animal crossingpetit planetthat one chinese game i forgot the name of
>>750692287Oh yeah, kinda forgot those existed.I see your point.
>>750692018And my beef with all those is that they always turn into a furry kitchen sink. Haha look at cartoon animals of all shapes and sizes living together in a society that makes absolutely no sense.Have some fucking commitment to worldbuilding. FF9 had Burmecians and that's it, I'd like to see more of that please.
this is where you should donate a level or twothey're usually 10-20 levels your junior, surely they'll never get the better of you for it
>>750692287>that one chinese i forgot the name ofjacky chan
Play Solatorobo
>new character joins the party>they have a completely worthless dogshit build that you can't respec unless you download a mod
>>750691858RPGs are a shit genre based off many stupid conventions that people just accept because "that's how it's always been done". They way levels and leveling work in them is probably the biggest one. Very few role playing games even benefit from late game stuff being so ridiculously more powerful than earlier game things.
>>750692773Numbers going up and getting stronger has value by itself without needing any other context. The soul of the RPG genre in its purest form is Cookie Clicker. The rest is fluff.
>>750692626What the fuck do you post in a day, dude?
>joins at level 1>never required for any battles in the entire game>keep it level 1 until you unlock all the masters>either use it to quickly learn every master ability, or jack its stat in whatever you wantI wish RPGs had more project characters that actually join early, not ones like Nino.
>>750693048the unfettered truth
>new character joins the party>inherits everything from the party member it's replacing
>>750691858>Game has leveling system in which, what you have equipped affects your gains>Need to hold off until you get certain gear or you're fucked against certain superbosses>Need to hold off even MORE because characters who join late have a level that scales to your ownSTOP DOING THIS SHIT TO ME!
>>750691858It's only older JRPGs that do this. I can't think of a game past the SNES that does this.
>>750692583I just think it's funny that everyone on the mist continent quarantined the rat people to live in the area with perpetually shitty weather.
>>750692720idk why youd want to use George Floyds retard brother.
>>750693828fuck legend of dragoon and fuck grandia 2
