>>4073688Little bit late but good to know for next time. I just searched "aether resistence" and then used CONTRL-F. ...And my shitty build didn't save in the bookmark I made. So I guess I'm making it again. FUCK
Give me a super tanky build to ez mode my way to max level with. Not pets, done pets.

https://www.grimtools.com/calc/ZrGro45NWell this seems to be a wash. Here's the start at an attempt at making an aether birb build centered around Decree of Aldritch. I didn't realize that only one Devastation could be cast at any one time. I was initially hoping that I could just focus on cooldown costs and stack them for big damage but that seems to be not the case. I have no idea what I'm doing. I'd like to offer the excuse that this is cobbled together with what I have available but it's still shit.
I've been getting back into the game again after forgetting about, and I've decided to go for a druid build. It's fun electrocuting things to death. Also, there are so many build options. I really hope that Crate or a modder adds an option to play with an alt as a companion, and basically let you customize two characters at once. That would really help with trying out the different classes.
There was recently a huge sale on the Atelier series on Steam, anyone else pick up a shit ton of games? I bought the entire Dusk, Arland, and Ryza DX series. Playing through Firis right now, 100%'d Sophie a month ago.>QOTT: What did Gust mean by this?
>>4069299>Best Atelier game is ending....AGAINNo...At least they managed to rush the ending instead of pulling the plug. Offline version chances are slim but I'll always hope.>>4069347They didn't even add Lulua. At least they made that one fanart come true by adding Miruca.>Will Karia save Atelier?Impossible. It's too close to what Yumia is so there won't be enough hype around it even if it's good.
>>4069396I wouldn't be too certain. The whole "should she get fat or not" survey did bring a lot of eyes onto the game. If they decide to actually implement it (which I honestly doubt considering how cucked Gust has been lately (looking at you Quartet)) they could bring in a whole new audience.
>>4069402Maybe but even if they implement it in gameplay, I feel it would need to be prominent in some cutscenes and in a marketing trailer to really catch on like that elephant power up in Mario Wonder. But the internet could always surprise either way.
>>4069376Firis is the best one and it's not close
>>4069376Firis is the worst one and it's not close.
Which RPG game would you rather be isekai'd to?
>>4071534>I think I ended up moving to rural France because I got groomed into cozy medieval towns by this franchiseThat's funny. Do you have any stories about it? Seems comfy.
>>4071798There was one time when I became the leader of the New Liberation Army and secured an abandoned castle as its headquarters
>>4067638My answer is always Legend of ManaChill, comfy world with lots of places to go, no real world-destroying threats, not even a conquering empire, you can just hang out with penguin pirates or learn magic or make instruments all day
>>4067638if it counts, pokemon is the easy answerif you want more jrpg/western rpgs specifically well damn, a lot of them suck in one way or another to live in. Mass Effect maybe
>>4067638Assuming they still work like the actual games so my knowledge of the mechanics is still worth a damn, Pokemon HGSS is my go to. I've thought about how I'd go about it a lot too, mostly back when I was obsessed with the games>Live in Goldenrod specifically>Big place, there's gotta be a vacant house or apartment somewhere and if its expensive I surely know enough about pokemon battling to make enough eventually. Worst comes to worst, sleep in its pokemon center, the world in general should be friendly enough for that if I need it>Has a department store, immediate access to most basic and semi-advance supplies, no badges required>Has a game corner for entertainment, I actually like voltorb flip so even if that remains the only option it is An Option. Plus the prizes include Pokemon so I wont need to leave the town to chance catching a pokemon on my own>Bike shop, even if I dont get protag priveledge the option remains and it might even be decent enough work if battling doesnt work out>Gym, good place to train and get a potential first badge. Also whitney's cute, thats a plus>GTS if that still functions in an isekai, I might not ever have to leave town to trade or battle people>Entire underground shopping area for more niche, timed things>Daycare to the south, Pokeathelon and National Park to the north. Dont need to go far at all for other facilities>Bill frequently visits, and is usually breeding eevees like the weirdo he is, but I wont call him that to his face because he gives em out to anyone who wants one. Who needs a professor, yo dont need protag power for a free starter eevee>Magnet Train to connect directly to Saffron City, which is comparable to Goldenrod in scale>It's even just a stones throw away from Celadon, the REAL Goldenrod of Kanto, and Vermillion City, a port town>It has a nice theme song tooComment too long.

New Trailer (August)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87TNASkXOWQPrevious Trailer (June)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH3ox5krci8It's hard to get excited when they're just showing us what we expected to see. There's nothing to talk about.Except for the fact that Rebirth never another "intergrade" DLC while we waited another 4 years.
>>4067424Well I'm hard and excited for this game. One last stretch of waiting, then it's complete forever.
>>4067439Maybe Revelation will have DLC. I mean, I was really surprise that they included Nero from Dirge of Cerberus in the Intergrade DLC. Plus a whole new character, Sonon, to flesh out Yuffie's backstory. Rebirth kind of rewrote some lore. And added in some Crisis Core characters. And everyone was still uncertain how much they were changing and how much they were keeping the same. In the back of my mind, I get the feeling that they're not going to give Cid the same treatment.
Pending "M" rating.
>His plan is to summon Meteor, inflict a wound so immense that the Lifestream converges upon it, and place himself at the center of that healing flow. The plot is explicit: he intends to injure the Planet and absorb the energy gathered to repair it. This is accelerationism as eschatological engineering. A negative-feedback mechanism—healing that restores equilibrium—is hacked into positive feedback, because the larger the wound, the greater the power available to the one occupying it. Sephiroth wants catastrophe to become capital for apotheosis.>Meteor is therefore the truth of the reactor. Both convert planetary vulnerability into concentrated power; Meteor performs the operation at terminal scale. Shinra extracts incrementally, keeping the Planet alive as a reserve. Sephiroth abandons sustainability and seeks final appropriation. Corporate accumulation becomes messianic sovereignty: one consciousness will absorb the common current and carry it across the cosmos.Thoughts?
I've had limited experience with JRPGs: Final Fantasy series (V, VI, VII... X was my favorite), a Dragon Quest title or two (early games, 2 and 3 I think?) and some of the staple SNES titles like Chrono Trigger. Beyond that, I haven't exploredI'm looking for recommendations for a JRPG that I can put a lot of hours into (so side quests/endgame content/optional bosses) that's pretty straightforward and still "beginner" friendly for someone not totally familiar with or otherwise burned out on the genreIt doesn't have to be a recent title, though I'd prefer nothing earlier than say 1999 or so, just because I'm in the mood for something modernish. Turn based combat is my preference.
>>4073021>Final Fantasy series (V, VI, VII... X was my favorite), a Dragon Quest title or two (early games, 2 and 3 I think?) and some of the staple SNES titles like Chrono TriggerSounds like you’re done. You’ve beat the game and can move on now.
>>4073021I recommend Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
>>4073315>I love sucking on the black men penisesI'm happy for your sexual preferences but this is a jrpg recommendation thread.
>>4073021time for your trails era
I've been getting back into this game recently, I used to play PWs like Ravenloft and others but I want to play a singleplayer campaign, I heard the Wailing Death it's not so good, any module I should consider for a longterm campaign? Hitting high levels and all that.

>>4070643>begone, thotIs there any hope that the scenes in the montage weren't cropped / condensed to make it seem colder and more abrupt than it actually was? Because the comedic timing is so perfect.
>>4072813its been forever since I played it but I think at least a couple are like thatits a good game in any case, its good at reacting to what you do in earlier missions
>>4070471I don’t think owl cat has made a single good game.
>>4070688>Never saw Expanse either, what's it actually about?humans expanded into the solar system, and its basically split into three factions; earth, mars and all the people who live on mining stations (called belters). follows a ragtag crew trying to navigate space politics, until they discover alien shit, and then everything gets weird.
What is /vrpg/ opinion on the Octopath Traveler series
>>4062015Is Brand's Thunder better than Windhilme mass attack?
>>4073074It really depends on your weapons. Once you start collecting battle tested stuff in the postgame war cry will out damage thunder.
>>40730746-arms' divine will mog by midgame and laterexample (~53002 x 6) < (99999 x 1)And it's rather easy to hit the 99999 cap per hit for winniheld's by endgame if you exploit Fortitude + 1hp memes.
>>4073050>I find weird how only Therion and Ophilia final bosses have convos mid battleDevs went with that for every OT2 final boss since they probably got feedback over it.>Wonder how players at the launch feltConfusion. Especially since the credits ran after your main character's story and never showed up again even after you beat the superboss/true final boss. Post-battle scene is wet fart despite calling back to the series main quote of "the path you choose, etc", but after it ends it just plops you back on the overworld and you get text box showing that you gained the spurning ribbon. And that's it.
>>4073984oops i meant >
Anyone else playing the autism build simulator? what are you cooking? favorite god? favorite type of creature? Apparently there will be an 3.0 update sometime by the end of the year/next year
>>4073849I feel like this game becomes yugioh in the sense of "Screw your deck theme, make a turn 1 invincible board with generic cards or fucking lose"Again, my only short experience is until about realm 500 ish before resetting recently and not look any builds up, so i could be wrong
>>4073869Every build is "viable" only caveat is how long you want to make battles last (and thus your time)
>>4073876You could make a cleric build that is unkillable and wins in a couple of turns on realm 2k+ if you wanted. It all depends on what you want out of the game. Also realm 500 isn't even when the game fully opens up either, too. There are fights that could just completely hard counter a team you made that's supposed to win on turn 1 or even turn 0. Though usually on instability 5, you want to have some manner of safety net to deal with variables like an Elf or Satyr or Nix. Or a perk that helps cut down the amount of variables. The game is very, very flexible and even a generally weak spec can still climb if you plan properly. Turn 0 or Turn 1 teams are kind of just time savers in long grinds, just like some people prefer full clearing a realm before moving on while others just rush for important stuff/realm quest and move on asap.
I wish there were a site I could visit to find builds instead of the gay fucking discord.
>>4073906Thats like, half the fun of the game
Alright pipeworkers, you know the drill.When is Styg droppin' a new dev diary, why is Six such a faggot and why is Ladelman so based?
>>4071270That was uncalled for. Also I'm sad that all I have left in the game are the dlcs and dc. I need infusion NOW.
TIL you can meet coral at hopperdrome
>>4072330Hey. Don't talk to my gf
>>4073539I already flirted with her and blatantly eyefucked her to her delight
Just won 4000 charons at the hopperdrome. I'm fucking rich.
Would you kiss Alex?
Just finished I.V but I did not activate NG+.Is II worth it? Seems like it doesn't answer questions but rather it's a new experience so I'm considering waiting a bit before getting into it.
>>4073111It'll answer some questions but it won't answer everything. YIIK really wants you to read into shit and nootice.
>>4073384That's better than nothing I guess.It's also why I think a general like this could succeed. Like for discussing what's everybody's interpretations.
On the topic of Alex why is it always the redheads that are the most egotistic special snowflakes on Earth across White people? It's been decades since we haven't been persecuting them now.

>>4072095I think so? Its being updated and its been a while so probably
Alright so theres been no games and i want to talk about something tangentially related and something i actually enjoyed.Jezebel is an EVN akin to superhuman, that follows a machivellian egomaniac noblewoman and her return to the capital bent on scheming her way to the top. If you can stomach the ai backgrounds and copious amount of yuri theres a lot you can dig your teeth into with the greater worldbuilding, political players and duvessa herself being a compelling lead that chiefly follows her whims, lust for power and the all encompassing desire to be not bored. Theres a decent amount of deviation from the intial backgrounds which can influence the social dynamics in the game, such as a duvessa who dabbled in crime in her youth having connections in the criminal underworld or the framing of her teenage rival as a witch driving said rival out of town until the events of the vn where she begins to make her redebut in the social class. You can also have duvessa be a complete slut and laid with her fathers political rival, flirt with said father and seduce the headbishop within the church and have him fuck her while her goons are cavassing his dorm. Its good fun i would reccomend.

YWNMARPG
But what is an rpg? Are jrpg rpgs?
>>4073305It's whatever the moderators say it is. Something similar is going on in the world of physics. Where a consortium of "String Theorists" have basically pushed everyone out. But after 40 years, String Theory is falling apart. And nobody is offering alternatives, because there's a culture in place to discredit people without proving them wrong. Some say they wouldn't know how to test the theories in the first place (besides throwing ChatGPT at it).
in phantasy star 3 you can't regenerate your health when you are poisoned. i thought the game was broken lmaoi would go the inn to replenish my health and my health would remain low
>>4057970Even when the game was new(ish), I didn't have a manual for it. RPGs were expensive, buying them used without manual was common.Of course you can just look it up nowadays.https://segaretro.org/images/c/c6/PhantasyStar3_MD_US_Manual.pdf
>>4057666I always think of antidotes as keys to healing. There's no need to have a lot of keys, but without one you're boned.
>>4057666This was my favorite Phantasy Star.
>>4073699Did you ever get all of the endings?
>>40736994 was my favorite>t. only played 4
