It's good but I don't see why it gets quite so much hype7 is better
>>3846659>>3846708That's actually something Nomura desperately wanted to end as far back as Versus. He wanted some open freedom even after leaving Insomnia.
>>38444586 was hard carried by its visual presentation that a lot of people wouldn't understand if they played on modern systems. FF6 was like a classic children's adventure story book being told on 16 bit hardware. I mean yeah there were a lot of rpgs with similar or even better graphics at the time but its the little elements FF6 had that make it seem like a movie to where I'd consider it the first movie game of its time. You can tell they put more focus on the story, characters, and visuals. The opening scene alone felt like some grand adventure movie that was about to unfold but still on 16bit hardware. A lot of FF6's elements just doesn't translate well on modern hardware or modern ports because 16 bit era had a major impact on how the game looked and ran. Things like trying to mimic voice with limited sound options, to some amazing 2D scenery. This is why I consider playing on original hardware or emulating original SNES games. I remember playing the GBA version of 6 and dropping it multiple times. The game just felt "off". The colors were washed out, the sound was even worst. All that just made the game bland but as soon as I fired it up on a snes emulator, I could play for hours with no issue. Had the same experience with Chrono Trigger DS. The colors in that port were all washed out and yet people were still recommending that one a lot.
>>3846708>the game becoming open in the end-gameIt's an entire second half of the game though. And it's not like you don't have any freedom to move around and explore in the first half, especially once you get the airship. Much more linear obviously, but there's still optional things to do and see throughout. There are some sidequests, secrets and hidden cutscenes throughout. When you're searching for Terra, you can skip Kohlingen and Jidoor completely. You never have to visit Tzen or Miranda at all. I'm not saying the World of Balance isn't linear overall, but it's not FF13 level linear either.

I like the new UI stuff.>>3846921Sterk bros....
There is a connection here and you know what it is.
>>3844948Who's the top one?
>>3845232DMC4 villain (not an rpg). He is a pope like head of an island cult worshipping a good demon who'd probably think they are a cult if he knew about them. A typical "muh power, what is love" kind of guy, just old. Nothing to write home about, but had a pretty good soundtrack in his last bossfight, said things like"THE SAVIOR IS COMING" during it and had a decency to stay dead when killed unlike Vergil, who, I kid you not, suffered deadly injuries in his fight with his brother in 1 game and then clinged to life FOR 25 YEARS before consuming a city's worth of human lives (and more) to get better in a game that came like 20 years after the one where he suffered his deadly injuries. NIGGER could just not die if he wanted, but noooo he wanted to kill people. And the protags were like "oh. it's okay". The worst thing is that probably the canon ending to it too even though the game has a better ending if the player manages to defeat the boss of the intro mission.
>>3844948The fact that fiction work worldwide is being shaped by western complexes, and that edgy regurgitated slop passes as defiant critique?
>>3845246They don't really go "oh, it's okay," though.They absolutely condemn his actions, but recognize that Vergil's abilities were needed to clean up the consequences of his actions. The game ended with him and Dante going to hell to hold back the demonic hordes and close the rift that would have allowed them to continue invading. Dante himself has always had questionable morality because he cares more about his personal business than the general good of the world as a whole. He'd sometimes perform helpful acts with larger good consequences, but that was more as a side effect of his personal affability than it was altruism. In 3, the earliest chronological title, he didn't really give two shits about the city coming to ruins as a result of Vergil's actions either. He just wanted to carve a path to Vergil and settle their personal score. His demon hunting business is also largely fueled by his personal vendetta against demons, which is half of why he ends up working pro bono so often. Nero beat the stuffing out of his dad for what he did, but he still ultimately didn't want him to die if he didn't have to. Nero is often too kind for his own good, but that doesn't mean Vergil was beyond reproach. Ultimately, V's existence and actions display remorse in Vergil's choice to summon the Qliphoth. Once they became whole again, he doesn't do any further evil and agrees to play his part in cleaning up the mess he made after getting his runback against Dante.
>>3845246I really liked DMC4's setting, the Renaissance island with a pseudo-catholic church
Bad news is you have to spend 1000 years in Purgatory before going to HeavenGood news is you can choose any 4 RPG companions to accompany you while you face the many challenges of Purgatory Who would you pick and why?

>>3839428BG 1&2 is totally different aesthetically and tone than BG3, like D&D 2e compared to 5e.>>3844287D&D is why you have rpgs at all.
>>3844934Rpgs wouldn't exist without tabletop. Go back to your completely on rails jrpgs.
>>3845740There were editions before 3e and 3.5e. In fact it's debatable if 3e and 3.5e is truly still D&D, despite being liked by most. And BG1&2 are 2e.

I enjoyed Lisa: The Painful and Joyful. The combat was satisfying and the difficulty was a bit trickier than I'm used to, but I liked it enough to persist. I especially loved the music/soundtrack, I think it's great.How do you feel about the Lisa games, anon? Also what other kind of games are like it? I think the writing is great at toeing that dark/funny line. And are any of the fangames worth playing?Hope this post finds you well, anon(s).
>>3797381Excellent game! I listened to some of the music a lot after I beat it.
>>3845889Music is absolutely a strong point. Such a distinct sound
>>3845986The other big thing for me was the large number of optional party members combined with fair and interesting permadeath. Great use of hidden areas and difficulty modes too. A lot of potential for fun optimization of a replay. Downsides, no party member development after they join. And the overall plot with Buddy is imo maybe the only weak point in a game that's good everywhere.
>>3846047I did pretty much minimal exploration and rarely switched party members around, so I do like to think I'll do a replay at some point
>>3845829>it was made to work around brad, not the other way around. it's a reflection of him and how he sees the world: wasted, lonely, filled with bad peopleI've never thought about it this way, interesting take.
I can't think of another RPG that has affected my life so deeply.
>>3847278It's a metaphor meaning Zelda was enormous for its time, leaps and bounds bigger than any previous game, which is how many people felt about Skyrim.
>>3847281>What? Dude wants to share nostalgia and good times with others. Go eat some dicks and settle your tum-tum.Yes, I do believe he needs a large meal of hard dicks to settle his upset (or his butthurt).
>>3847296Basic quality of life & vanilla+ mods are strangely uncommon in a lot of these games. It's always pushed to the farthest extremes so you often have these mods for the enthusiast types that are on their 20th playthrough and the newbies just get 5 different flavors of not ideal options.

I just picked this game up because I saw there was a DLC for Sakuna and I love the rice goddess loli. Is it any good? I've only played RF4 and I loved it a lot, spent 100+ hours in it. Also general RF thread.
>>3846651>giant summer village fieldneat
>>3846651Neat, though the patch would have to be real meaty to make me come back for any significant amount of time as I already completed all there was to complete before putting the game down
>GoA is getting a GB DLC interesting, though after seeing how fucking terrible the RF4 costumes looked, I doubt GB based ones would look any better
>>3846651>Main Quest done at 100 hours>No post game dungeon to hit till I marry someone.This sure killed my motivation. Grinding Bond levels doesn't sound fun since at the latter half of the day, I go dungeon hunting.Also, I wish theres another dungeon to tackle similar to Sharace Maze of RF3.>>3846673Time to put another Volcano on it.
Picked up 5 a few weeks ago and I'm honestly enjoying it, beat the main story and the maze, doing festivals and more "life-sim" stuff now. It's definitely a game on a budget and worse than 4, and there's something wrong that I can complain about with just about every system, but I still find it fun and relaxing, and the characters are likeable. Probably gonna go back and make a save that I can branch into every other girl's route when I truly see everything there is to see on this one.

I was reminded of a scene from the tv show Rome. An ex-soldier is training a young noble kid how to fight with a sword, and he's getting pissed because he knows he sucks at it. He doesn't really have the stature or muscle to be a good fighter, and he says "at best I will be a middling swordsmen, and the ground is full of middling swordsmen, best not to be one at all". That was kind of my thoughts the last time I did this thing, because I got a wizard with like 12 intelligence... I guess I could do some party tricks to impress simple women...
>>3847174"Dave the Commoner" started around that level of INT, if I remember correctly. Managed to get to LVL20 and have his own kingdom using coven hex to compensate for lack of intelligence.
>>384725912 ain't nothing to scoff at in the d&d world, and i suppose there is always gear with intelligence bonuses. Still, not a good start. Surviving to get the goods would be an issue.
Previous thread is gone. Is there any news about the update?
>>3845760>B-b-but I like Samarie... She's not a troon, why does she need to go?Troons love and self-identify with samarie while Marina is more of the idealized version of a troon
Such a tranny game lmao
>>3846082Fucking troons ruining my goth waifu. At least it is too late for them to ruin D'arce and the Girl.
>>3844352First Black Souls is a decent but admittedly janky RPG Maker non-nukige H-game heavily inspired by Souls series and Alice in Wonderland. Its sequel is that but practically better in every way, legit kino.If you liked F&H you might like BS series as well, though design and balance wise the latter is a lot more like your usual JRPG.
