Please recommend me some JRPG's with the New Game Plus feature.Especially those that add harder enemies, secret bosses, new weapons/armor, new events and different choices.So far I've played and enjoyed:-Chrono Trigger -Chrono Cross-Parasite Eve-Final Fantasy X-2 -FF Lightning Returns
>>3953693https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NewGamePlusGreat google search thread faggot. This isn't a request board
>>3953693The Shin Megami Tensei games have NG+ and NG+-exclusive content, and Etrian Odyssey doesn't exactly have NG+ but it does have a lot of postgame content.
>>3955692Embarrassing self-bumpLoser
Do you consider Square-Enix to still be the top RPG publisher in the modern day, or has another company dethroned them (Bamco, Sega)? Pic semi-related.
>>3955365There's no close second to SE.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Square_Enix_video_games
>>3955588Thank you, I needed this
>>3949021I haven't played any of their games since FFX so no
>>3949042This
>>3955589Must be tiresome having no off switch, buddy.
>30-something and still not married.Wow, what a loser, am I right fellas?
>>3955462I don't think she cares though.
>>3955462That's how it should still be here. People don't realize how little time they actually have to make babies.
>>3955551For the first time in human history, it's the people who like and want to have kids who are actually reproducing as opposed to kids just overwhelmingly happening by accident.We already have 3, going on 4 generations of this in the societies most affected and the results are skewing ever harder each generation.Who am I to argue with evolution producing a bunch of baby crazy young mothers because technology allowed those ambivalent about it to drive themselves to extinction?
>>3955551In the west you can choose to give birth in your 20's and be forever reliant on a failing welfare state that is swarmed by parasites like a newborn calf during siberian summer, while gambling for the 40% of marriages that dont fail and destroy your life sooner than later or being a trustfund nepo baby starting out being set for life at birth.The only option to move up from pauperism and gutter societies or even keep your middle class life right now is to bring in a full academical degree level salary per person for ~20 years without additional spendings until you can reasonably step it down a notch. But that means you are at least 45 at that point. People know very well hoe little time they have. They are just not dumb enough to make themself a crippled lamb in the wolfs pen just to keep the shitshow running for boomers being able to burn their exploit wealth for another decade until they finally all kick the bucket or internet incels not being mad at them.Same with Japan btw. Women not marrying and going for personal wealth is simply the smart thing to do when there is no one left to support you in a society of 60 year olds gatekeeping everyone else from advancing.
>>3955649>overwhelmingly happening by accident.Sex is not an "accident".
Since a Romancing thread went awhile, how about a general discussion of the assorted SaGa games?The original gameboy series, known as Final Fantasy Legend in the west, the Romancing series on the SNES which the west didn't get until the mobile remasters and Minstrel Song remake, the Frontier series for the PlayStation... and the other stuff that has it's fans probably maybe.A hodgepodge of divergent and experimental jrpgs, from the usual Squaresoft fare and even from it's own series or within each series, made by the annoying contrarians and heretics within Square who got given shoestring budgets and left to make what they want.
>>3945742saga frontier is the only saga game you or anyone should ever play. and by play i mean spend 85% researching shit rather than actually play
>>3954926>complex systems, non linear world building and fuckhuge casts of characters.none of them are memorable and has as much depth as FF characters
>>3955453>none of them are memorableReally? I thought a ton of them are memorable. Literally every protagonist in SaGa Frontier and it's sequel alone were memorable. >has as much depth as FF charactersNot true if you aren't spoiled by voice-acted cutscenes and drama, the characters in SaGa Scarlet Grace are actually really dynamic and well written, same for SaGa Frontier 2... Hell there's even a lot of interesting stuff going on in the background of Minstrel Song.
>>3955453You are supposed to grow out of angsty teenage dramas like Final Fantasy.
>>3955638>2026>Seriously engaging with trolls
*mogs your /vrpg/*
>>3955428>this mogs /vrpg/slop>even though it is /vrpg/slop because it belongs on this boardTruly you have a singular intellect
>>3955401>Base CK2Ngmi.
>>3955401CK3 is better now with Indonesia and China
>>3955401Step aside.
>>3955401CK2 was the only Pdox map painter I played, and it was because it had more than dry spreadsheets but also some roleplay elements.
Any anons here play sports RPGs? Something like how Blitzball ends up being or something more with a story? Can only recall something mainstream like 2K's NBA games career modes, but that just doesn't do it.
>>39503302k26 eras my NBA with player lock You create your own player and get drafted like 60 ovr and I use 2kdraftdotcom to have realistic stats progression. It's kind of fun playing in different NBA eras seeing your player progress. It's kind of repetitive though but It scratches the itch sometimes. Also old PES and Fifa games are fun for 2 season career mode. Fifa 16 with infinity patch was the most fun I've had with a sports game ever
played a lot of new star soccer back in the day
>suggestions:>le quirk earthbound-inspired indie RPG (make its head Sans with Ness hat)>something about Expedition 66>Shota Raising Simulator (Inazuma Eleven)>Play Tales
>>3950330I want an Inazuma Eleven-like game in the scale of Football Manager. Kinda like Captain Tsubasa level of sensible fantasy, but a bit more whimsical with Inazuma Eleven's hissatsu mechanics.
Poll when?
People sure are adamant about wanting a 4th game in this series. I'd rather have a spiritual successor of sorts
>>3951434I always liked how they borrowed from mythology regarding elements
Are there any decent hacks for Golden Sun + TLA that actually make it worth engaging with the cool class/djinn mechanics instead of just summon spamming?
>>3952023Reloaded. Both the GBA games' Reloaded versions; TLA's Reloaded was done before GS, so even the transfer code works.
>>3953091The original release of both reloaded games came out at like the same time. TLA then got more balance overhauls leading it to feel better than 1.
>>3955585No wonder. I guess the balance overhauls were just "updates" that made it look like it came out later to me.
Elements edition.Gears, Saga, Blade... what have you.Will Takahashi rip off Arthur Clark for the fourth time in a row?
>>3954352Nopon a cute desu
https://xenoblade.fandom.com/wiki/Pidor_Crustip_(XC3)
Are the enemies in XC3 as aggressive as 2's?
>>3953955It'll be nice to have the last Xeno game worth playing finally in English.
60fps is giving me a reason to enjoy a new XCX playthrough.
Rebooblican edition.About to start Disgaea 2 for the 3rd time, hoping I have enough patience to get through the entire postgame this time instead of dropping it right after the story mode. Fuck pirates, fuck felonies, fuck cellphones, fuck dark world stage unlock conditions , etc.
>>3954830its less that they all jumped to another company and more just that the passage of time had people cycle out after 3
Man they really fucked up by pricing it at 50 bucks huh
>>3955099Japanese devs do this thing because those prices usually work in the domestic market, or they used to, at least.
I'm replaying one and while I don't think it has the best story in the series. The designs really took a nose dive after they decided to make everything look cute.
>>3955498Eh, I say the peak was either three or four. Harada kinda made everything too plain in one truth be told; he went full moe post four and caved to fetishes.
What am I in for? Should I use this to make my game, instead of RPG Maker?
>>3953603>The author fucking loves underwater combat for some reason as well.DROPPED
So I've been going through The Wink & Kiss Part 2, and it's pretty difficult, a fair number of high skill checks, and tough combats (despite your character not being a fighter). I'm stumped by one of the side-quests. There's this part where your group has to assault a cursed graveyard and kill all the undead. There's a phylactery and a book of undead magic which look like they should be bashed, to stop undead from respawning. Unfortunately, +1 weapons (carried by the MC) don't seem to do anything. Is there a way to make henchmen attack a specific target, rather than generic commands (Follow, Attack Nearest, Guard Me)?
Anyone boomer enough to have played Adam Miller's modules?I enjoyed Shadowlords & Dreamcatcher but bounced pretty hard off of Demons, prologue was fun but I ran into a wall in Sigil, seems like no matter where I go I run into some high level enemy and get assraped because I'm still a level 1 rube with nothing but a shortbow and pennies in my pocket. I'm assuming you're supposed to recover all your lost XP somehow but I'm too clueless to figure out where to go or what quest to pursue first. No walkthrough to consult because Miller didn't write one.
I played the Keep on the Borderlands module yesterday, and I was surprised that the adventure is literally that short. It also dawned on me that people aren't adding more roleplay potential into the PnP conversions. Roleplaying is expected when you play the actual game, yet when making a "faithful" remake of it in video game, they aren't using the engine suite to its proper advantage.
>>3955448One thing I look for is if theyve labelled the module as being high on rpg in that module descriptor table or notA very strong and genuine recommendation about a module that lacks that general information would be the only reason why I'd download anything blindly
Have you played any interesting RPG Maker game lately?
>>3953991I'm fine with default sprites and music, but the default battle system in 2k3 turns me away. I get that making a custom battle system takes time, but
>>3953991It's simple, you're just used to it. Look at any other genre or console and you'll notice the exact same sort of trends, mechanics, ui styles, sfx, etc in that category. It's a meme in the actual meaning of the word. Also people who get angry about default assets are silly in general and their opinions don't matter, most developers use premade assets and 100% of them copy other titles and tropes constantly. Expecting developers to remake the wheel every time they make a game is retarded.
>>3933612Definitely not FotM lol
>>3955053Definitely boring sludge that represents all that is wrong with western RPG maker users.
>>3955053That guy is a schizo who hates Look Outside, just ignore him.
Xenosaga 1+2 DS beta english patch is out. Only the first three chapters are translated.https://mega.nz/file/u0UilZDK#eWd2_oKeFZE9KJn1S9RCZ3ENvGIH-lAIceqHvtnbXaAhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/11J82TJoNQ6m0FJZqccpaZSJw1qCU-22M/viewhttps://x.com/VectorTranslate/status/2038698243765203262
>>3954616the DS games are broken into 20 chapters. Each game is 10 chapters long
>>3954855Only Xenosaga 2 was bad
>>3954879and even then only mechanically
>>3954879Xeno a shit
>>3954897and even then it was definitely salvageable, worked well for boss fights. most people just hate xenosaga 2 because that's what they hear from other retards online.
Games based on anime franchises. Not games that have anime art styles or were later adapted into an anime series. It's interesting when the anime setting is set in a fictional MMO. Some things are standard RPG mechanics like crafting and job systems. But then there are the more fictional elements, you have to wonder if it would work in reality.
>>3954541Why did you quote it without the almost and then reply to the point that I didn't make?
>>3953780I wish Sword World would get a vidya rpg
>>3955511>here's your race selection bro
>>3954450>>3954454Agreed.Some of the music tracks are actually good too desu.
>>3955524
>it’s been 20 years since oblivion came out Do you think he ran out of juice?
>>3947095If they didn't waste time on starfield (lame) and fallout (Obsidian would do it better anyway) they would have been on at least TES 7 by now. Alas all hope of them making a good game is gone after their history of retardation with FO4, FO76 and SF, in addition to their best employee leaving lol
>>3955338>in addition to their best employee leaving lolToo soon. RIP Julian LeFay
>>3947188>These are the two most boring and justifiably disliked settings.Redguard look more "red" to me than black, they don't speak like niggers too so thats a plus. I think there culture is more arabian themed, as long as they don't include alot of nigger hairstyles and don't make the npcs all have braids, it would be alright. And you never know they might include alot of Highrock too and not just Hammerfell
>>3949287>as they are one of the blander TES racesHave you ever heard about the left-handed elves? Yeah, Didn't think so.
>>3955476What a sinister idea.
What race are you guys gonna pick for your first ever playthrough, when picrel finally comes out? Redguard is an obvious choice, I do like their women but I hate how nigger-like the men look. On a side note, I hope they also include parts of High Rock in the game too and not just Hammerfell.
>>3954040>expecting races in nu-ESlollmao
>>3954096I'm a tall human, I play a tall human, simple as
Imperial Paladin, RPing as rabidly pro-empireGoing to keep the actual niggers under the Imperial heel just like I did the snow niggers in the previous game
>>3954040I will play as a moded left-handed elf to get revenge on the niggers for killing my kind.
>>3954040High Elf because tamriel must be destroyed before we are tragically exposed to what it will become. You'll see bugeyed redguard women everywhere and know that the Thalmor should have won.
