>>3948456Need Val Raging demon sprites then.
>>3948488I misread that as raping demon
>>3948489No you didn't.
>>3948490I had my glasses off
>>3948427Is he bigger than Val?
Maybe I just find it easy to connect with this game but I'm kinda sitting here in awe of how well the visuals, music, story, and gameplay work in harmony to create a beautiful piece of art that is also a fun, chill and deep jrpg. Like I'm listening to exposure from the ost and it's literal waves of various emotions building up to an unbearable pressure that washes over you because Sam canonically remains in control of himself. There's legitimately a looot, a lot to say about the creative expression within this game that I'm not even going to explain it because the effort would be wasted on anything other than a well produced video essay that will earn me thousands of dollars (or that is plagiarized by a bigger channel to make them tens of thousands).
>>3948355same but for Dream Eater Aster (I want to help him find self-control and happiness) (with my hands on his weird baku worm dick) (consensually)
What's the better arm to give up to to the thing that wants to eat the ugly rat thing?
>>3948414Neither. Keep your arm.Also, tomorrow it will be a year since the game released.

Shiren the Wanderer celebrated its 30th anniversary a few days ago, so lets have a Mystery Dungeon thread. Which Shiren game is your favorite, and what would you want to see in Shiren 7?And when the fuck is Shiren Asuka's translation patch getting finished?
Not sure if this is the right thread, but Mystery Chronicle: One Way Heroics is on sale and I was wondering if anyone was interested in trying the multiplayer if they got it. I've never tried the multiplayer in it personally.
I'm playing shiren 6 for the first time, what does it mean when it says "the panacea note echos through the floor" or sometimes it'll do something like speed up a monster. is that just a random effect floors can have?
>>3948482That's one of the monsters tooting their horn to buff other monsters.
>>3944686Great Moriya Angel is a bitch.
I’m pretty convinced that the modern generic RPG does not understand what healing and support is. Most modern MMORPGs for example design healers to be DPS with healing buttons that aren’t actually needed or make all damage telegraphed to make the healer feel more like a dps to play.Support classes basically don’t exist anymore.Which game had your favorite support class? And I mean actually support, reactionary heals, buff maintenance, resource management, etc.I do not mean completely passive support like “ally recieves buff when you counter or ally gets healed when you press this attack button that is a part of your main dps combo.For me it was FFXI, this game had like 50 different flavors of support classes but my favorite was the dedicated one, bard.
>>3945934My favorite from that game is Red Mage and Scholar. Their role varied depending on party composition and content being done but in the vast majority of lowman content (6-person or below parties) which include exp groups they were basically healers with a shitload of utility in the form of a vairety of debuffs and a variety of buff maintenance while also maintaining the group alive via heals.
>>3945944Dancer was the strongest exp party healer, people were just afraid of change.Scholar was heavily underestimated as well. I don’t think people realized how hard it was for a red mage to keep refresh up on 2-3 targets while keeping up haste on 4 and still have mp efficiency. Even with Convert that is basically like half of your mp in routine spellcasts that you do every 3 minutes. Scholar didn’t have haste but it was much much much more mp efficient. DNC had all of this while being tp to healing efficient and essentially providing the same types of buffs as a bard via step debuff system
>>3945934eq bard/enchanter were hilariously optoo bad ffxi bard was a glorified bot, can't even charm baka
>>3946191Brd/bst could charm very effectively though
WoW suceeded because it made support classes be able to solo and be efficient in groups. No one liked waiting an hour as a cleric for a group or be railroaded to certain levelling paths because you couldnt solo one mob

It's always nice checking in on the Black Souls tag after a while and seeing more Jubjub.I don't think I could ever get sick of her British jokes.
>>3948512>"Wanna see a funny joke?">*Murders everyone*not funny jubjub
>>3948512Black Souls taught me that the only girls who have pubes are literally insane.
Is this worth playing or is it shit?
>>3948507It's pretty decent swag too. Infused rathound is way better though
>>3948499Sounds like something a gay Styg-lover would say.
i still mostly a styg lover, the psi and crafting changes are turbo gay tho
>>3948511Is mod anon doing anything about that?
>>3948511>>3948514crafting i mean, he already fixed psi

Thirst's translation is still on the way.Hollowwald's in development.
>>3948409Alright and I'm soon to beat Ghost Path too
>>3948426Good luck anon.
>>3948462Thanks
>>3948228>>3948397I need to stuff this slutty homochicken.
>>3948409So would 2-3 weeks until release be a safe estimate then? He said on f95 before that he starts a TL session by editing what he translated in the previous one, so I assume it'll be ready to go after he hits 100%. Either way, nice to see it's almost done.
What am I in for? Should I use this to make my game, instead of RPG Maker?
>Below is an alphabetical listing of 745 single-player adventure modules and campaigns for NWN.>745 Wait, for real?
>>394525325 years of autism.
>>3945253Are you not entertained?
>>3943143There's no plot continuity aside from worldbuilding and a few easter eggs, the henchman that you can recruit in Cave of Songs won't even acknowledge you as the same person when you meet him again in Prophet.desu it's probably a bad idea to use the same character across all 3 modules, Cave and Thieves both encourage sneaky skill-monkey type characters but Prophet is super combat heavy and throws literal hordes of enemies at you (story is still based though)
>>3948411How many of them are actually good? I wouldn't say more than twenty
Airship thread. Post favs.
>>3947122Isn't it also because it's really fucking expensive, the ships are huge and cumbersome, and can't actually hold many people while the best shit to make it float is a limited resource that will run out some day?
>>3947139As always, but our world would be…lacking in some…(for me at least, this is a hell before reaching death if we get to this point)

Am I still allowed to like this game or did it become too popular and win too many awards and therefore it's bad now?
>>3948366>these are definitely things that are derived purely from your imaginationsUnfortunately not. There are a lot of people who fell for the paid shill propaganda and veritable industry plant that E33 was, touting it as the best narrative that has ever been conveyed via a video game. They truly believe that you have to be smart in order to understand an infodump. And, to E33's credit, its infodump is a lot more coherent and easy to understand than something like the infodump near the end of Chrono Cross. And still, E33 shill think they are smart for understanding it, and that anyone who disliked Act III is a retard who cannot comprehend an incredibly basic trope that has been used before many times across all media, and has also been used to better effect than E33. (ex: The Matrix)
>>3948366You mean the iliterates that believe this meme unironicallly and never mention the Matrix and talk about how revolutionary the game is despite that everything, an I do mean, EVERYTHING, that the games does has been done before and better?Yeah it must be my imagination
>>3948373It's still astounding how many awards this game "won"
>>3948391If you put the meme on google images you'll see I didn't make. retard. Am I going too fast for you? Do you need me to explain it slower?
>>3948391Te vi ahí puto, ese meme sólo lo conocen en latam. No serás un narigón Argayntino? Por si acaso te dejo el original aquí.
There's aught to be found in this thread.
>>3944698>but I hate faggots that don't just own up to it and instead need to act like they have some moral high ground and greater reason for being anti-DRMSuck my dick. The last games I pirated were Doom 3 and VTMB, for reference, and that was because I was a teenager with infinite free time and zero money. Now, those are reversed. I don’t have time to play shitty games that aren’t worth buying.I’m not installing fucking malware on my PC to play a game.The spirit of the old Internet really is dead. Imagine telling 4channers 20 years ago that this place would be defending invasive DRM to own the warez kiddies.
Someone has that pic with the sliders to make a good looking pawn? Man I forgot how hard it is to make a cute girl in that editor.
>>3935056found it
>>3944698>people who only care about ease of piracy exist>therefore, all other criticism regarding anti-piracy measures is invalidNext you'll say, because it was what you heard the most of, it's CLEARLY the most important opinion.

>>3947309You need to emulate it and get the patched version then! I played it on SNES growing up and it was a grind-fest but that's what helped me learn to love doing the work in any RPG going forward. As a kid I obviously didn't know the Japanese version was less punishing in that regard, and so I was stuck playing the U.S. entry.It's really fun to try going through the game with different combinations of characters if you have the time to do so.There is also a sequel called Mystic Ark that was fan-translated which you can emulate. I actually have to go back and finish that, I only got partially through.
>>3947446>>3947451I forgot to consider Lufia II (the superior title) in my list. Brain Lord is great but wouldn't have made my top 25. The funny thing is there are so many great JRPGs at this point that it feels bad leaving many out, even when you're listing 25 or more of them.
>>3947306I'm dumb, I was sleep deprived and I knew I was missing some games that I love more than things I put on that list. I might even remake it if I feel like taking the time to figure out where the missing titles would fit.I forgot to list:Persona 3 FES (first Persona game ever and easily my favorite)Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey (Redux)Redux is better due to QoL and added content, but I did play the original initially and loved it.

What do you guys think of respecs and what's a good way to balance it between streamlining and casualizing respecs and making a player able to finish your game start to finish?In ARPGs, I think it's usually a craftable potion that the player has to make or buy, and IIRC they're really expensive to avoid abuse.In CRPGs, I think there's a once in a game respec for some, but usually there's none. DOS2 OTOH, you've got some mirror that allows the player unli respecs, which desu, can allow the player to win every combat and persuasion once they have access to it.I'm not sure with JRPGs that aren't dungeon crawlers.
>>3947125is it because of how you learned the language? Dont leave me hanging Juan!
>>3948016Yeah it's a fix for the fundamentally bad design of requiring too many otherwise permanent commitments from the player, that really don't need to be permanent for any serious gameplay reason. That, and perhaps the game as a whole not being good enough for the player to have any desire to play again.
>>3947025no repsecs; all classes and build should be viable to finish the game.
>>3947025If a player wants to challenge themselves they can play ironman or not utilize respecs. Disabling or limiting the feature is smug autism. Accept the fact that most people's time is limited and most people don't like replaying games or missing out on things because they didn't read a strategy guide first and committed to the wrong thing for most of the game.If your game is fun, people will replay it or take the time to challenge themselves with it. Don't try to coerce people into playing certain way, that's a sure fire way for people to pass over your game.
