Fuck romance. Who's the biggest bro out of all rpg companions?
>>3898926I never knew because I never interacted with Tali ever, let alone allow her to accompany me in any missions or anything.
>>3898624>takes the dweeb and leaves the baddies for shepbased
>>3899029King move. She's useless in combat and worst girl. Even when they made tech better she had the worst tech abilities
God I hate Mass Effect aliens, so fucking lame and Star Trek/Wars. Only good aliens in a video game are from Star Control 2, which Bioware did crib from, but didn't have nearly enough intelligence to really emulate.
>>3899064I didn't give a fuck about that. She was just fucking ugly and her personality was like nails on a chalkboard. Stereotypical whiny waif wench. As if being muslim-coded weren't bad enough. I feel a physical, visceral disgust right now just remembering that shit. They tried to normalize the ultra burqa and I just will not fucking have it. I won't have any of it.
The game overall is fun but the writing and characters are terribly written. It just a bunch of girl boss bullshit. No male characters are masculine besides verso and renoir. The story itself is melodramatic and written for retards. Every single cutscene is just women overcoming the nevrons. It's pathetic. luna inserts herself into the party on many occasions when you don't have her selected to be in the party, Even the menus have her selected by default. I could honestly rant about the characters and story all day. It's trash. This game really doesn't deserve the hype that it's getting and the hype itself isn't natural. It's manufactured by marketing campaigns.
Definitely graphicsfags (or JRPG boomers who gets impressed easily) would lap this game up - although the story/plot/writing is arguably not as bad as OP says.
>>3898968The female chatacters are actually quite unpleasant besides maelle. Lune and Sciel are souless. All the dialoge between these characters is complete filth. The story itself is created and made for women. The writer is a women and it shows. The males are weaker characters than the females in the story and all the cutscenes. This is feminist garbage and anyone that thinks otherwise hasn't actually replayed the game and analyzed the scenes and dialog properly.
>>3898971I can see your point but it couldn't be further from the truth.
Provide some actual evidence for the wall of claims you're making or fuck off.

What do you think of the shadows hearts trilogy?
>>3879278Never tried it. Don't think I heard of it growing up and just recently started hearing about it. Heard its decent, so I might try it out one day once I run out of current stuff to play.
>>38792781 - great game with some flaws and rough edges 2 - dog shit that ruins everything that made 1 great3 - better than 2 but still lacks everything that made 1 great
>>3892512>Also I just love 3's humor a ton. It's a pure and refreshing kind.It's a party of lovable goofs.
>>3879278Koudelka was an amazing, well written game with an amazing setting, and mature, realistic character. Shadow Hearts 1 on the other hand, has one dimensional party members, laughably bad villains, an awful first half filled with annoying gameplay segments, underdeveloped main characters, and in general, really immature writing that's a massive step down from the previous game. Covenant fixes all this by leaning heavily into the goofy side of things instead of trying to do a serious story like SH1, and it works really well.
>>3894804>Koudelka was an amazing, well written game with an amazing setting, and mature, realistic characterlol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8QGYqdNF98Holy shit I love that this game keeps on giving in terms of those little details
>>3890989There was a mod that restores that stuff.
Beta House seems like such a nice fella.

>>3898359Linzi is the true PC. But she's non-playable. Like a non-playable PC, if that makes sense.
Merry Christmas!
>>3897574FELIZ NAVIDAD
>>3897574what MIDI emulators are you guys using to update the music to Roland or Gravis even?
>>3899022Isn't Munt pretty accurate nowadays for MT-32 stuff?
>>3899022I recommend using a fork of DOSBox, Staging or Pure or X, that lets you use the SC-55 ROM for emulation.
I'm surprised there wasn't a dedicated thread for these games. Anyway, let's post about Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, and Radical Dreamers here.
>>3899017>Practically everything they put out was praised and had a lot of fans.Because they were absolutely on fire. Look at pic related: could you imagine a single company releasing that many good games over a single year (year and a half more likely) nowadays?
>>3899048>Because they were absolutely on fire. Yeah I fully agree there. I didn't mean the praise was only because Square was popular or anything, they stayed popular because for a long time they were pumping out great games (Chrono Cross included).
>>3899017This sauce might be acceptable on /pol/, but if you were a real game reviewer who really wrote a game review for some edited publication, you wouldn't need to hide as anon. You would have signed that publication with your fucking power word. You wouldn't have any need to hide now.Also I agree Chrono Cross was good. Have some fucking standards though, or go back to /pol/.
>>3899056Eh, I see your point but that user wasn't always anon. The site is just old and it says the account is inactive now, so it seems to have just removed their name. You can even look through their posts still and see them signing their name and sharing their old online identities.Just thought it was relevant to the discussion. Assuming it's true, it shows that not only was Chrono Cross widely liked, it was liked to the point that people sent a bunch of hate mail to someone for not calling it great.
>>3899068Not to say that he's "Peter." Looks like clicking on "anonymous_user" gives you all of the now anonymous posts in a thread. You can see how the quoted post still has a name though.If this guy actually wrote the Chrono Cross Review for Daily Radar, his name is Samuel Bass.https://web.archive.org/web/20010417015726/http://www.dailyradar.com/reviews/game_review_828.html
Post rpg reaction images.
>>3897877>>3897882The art style of Lunar is really nice and I hear nothing but praise for the story but I coldn't get into the battle movement system

What RPGs let me play like a morally questionable holy zealot? Not just a warrior for their religion but one that's blind, ruthless, and willing to go against their fellow man. I love playing the Order routes in SMT games and I need more.
>>3898401How's the other inquisitor game?>Jesus did not die on the cross, but came down and unleashed vengeance on all the nonbelievers. 1500 years later, an army of Inquisitors brutally enforce the faith. In this dark fantasy adventure you solve intricate cases and unveil abysmal secrets as Inquisitor Mordimer Madderdin.
>>3898381>play in favor of Tunon and KyrosYou never finished prologue?
>>3898353Rogue Trader. It's literally the default route for the story.
>>3898963>Mordimer Madderdin.
>>3899045get the cross
The gameplay is fun but holy shit the graphics for xillia are horrible. It feels like this game has zero art direction and is just a bunch of soulless assets strewn across a flat plane. The towns, outside of the first one, are absolutely atrocious. And Sakuraba literally lifted samples from his other works and copy pasted them for this game's soundtrack. It just feels so low effort.It's really weird just how much better vesperia looks than arise, berseria, zestiria, and especially xillia. Why won't namco reuse the vesperia engine I just don't get it? The one they went with for xillia and after is eye cancer.Fuck I honestly think abyss looks better than xillia. There is not a single area in xillia that looks better than this.
>>3898011Tales of Hebephillia....
>>3897814>or*for
>>3898595For, or, it's the same. As long as it cute, everything counts.
>>3896971New speedruns exploiting these findings when?
When do they get a remaster? Theyre the ones who need it the most
I'm not alone in thinking that a 5-person battle system is better than 4 right? 5 just has much more options and chances for the characters to interact.
>>3898871That's arguably good design, though I would have to observe the challenge-to-frustration ratio for myself.
>>3898819>>archer>>hunterthese are fighters>>rouge>>calverythese are tanks or fighters
>>3898164This is one big reason why FF4 is my favorite Final Fantasy. A 5 person party gives you a better mix of strategies.Think about it. You need the healer, the mage, the tank, and the DPS. That's standard, that's an industry/genre standard there. But make it a 5 person party, and now strategy opens up.Do you get another DPS for high damage output? Another healer for added protection and a bigger safety net? It allows you to experiment better.
Are you guys joking about this being a matter of the number of party members?
>>3899055This is a fake thread.
What are your favorite classes/roles in RPGs? I have always liked characters who can use speed buffs.
>>3886756Gambler!Failing that, Blue Mage-type characters are always fun.
>>3898991Btw Provoke worked on the Spectral Keeper. Makes the fight better when you can direct its attacks.
>>3899019Forgot to say that Lulu's Reflex made it possible to even evade the attacks. Protect and defending goes without saying.
>>3898701EQ ended at PoP, and the PoK was a mistake.And the reason private servers are dying is because they almost all allow boxing and their custom balance changes are sloppy ad hoc bullshit designed to make the game play more like Diablo.Proj Laz ironically is the best feeling non-boxing experience until you get to Vex Thal and Time, even though it's a full-boxing server with absolutely fucking STUPID balance decisions in late game (the changes that the server dev has actually been involved with). Also the server is owned and operated by notorious grifters and drug addicts who've been in and out of court over various charges related to the money laundering schemes they've been involved in (start in P99 before they were kicked out).Don't play in or support anything Aporia has been involved with. Ever. Fucking ever.I haven't tried Quarm because I'm just not interested in the originalist style of old EQ. Because pre-Luclin EQ was actually pretty anti-fun and hilariously unbalanced in so, so many ways. Not like Luclin was perfect, but at least focuses and AAs were an interesting concept that expanded actual gameplay. Also custom servers never do anything about the lack of content and broken quests. You walk into a city and there's literally nothing to do there because NPCs have no dialogue and there are no quests which work. It's the perfect thing for server devs to work on because it's literally just plain text echoes, but they never do it.I haven't tried Dalaya because I hear it's an entirely custom experience and very low population.
>>3886756Debuffer, tank, healer.
Recommend some RPGs that don't fit in the following thematic categories:>medieval fantasy>cyberpunk dystopia>post-apocalyptic wasteland>quirky earthbound-like
>>3894891It isn't. It's age of sail fantasy.
>>3892349Strictly speaking it's a hamurabilike not an RPG, but you'll probably like King of Dragon Pass. Bronze Age fantasy.

I don't mind the themes in both of these games. I just wanna know which one is more fun (eventually I want to play both)
>>3886228I got both Funger games, haven't even found my first bed yet but was lucky enough to save with a random magical book I found.The first elite guard is raping me, Im currently trying to bait him into a bear trap and then enter combat, he has a ! sign above his head which he didn't before, but he still kicks my ass. Any advice?
>>3898908>The first elite guard is raping meFunny how in funger this is literal
>>3898908>Any advice?Elite Guard is a particularly annoying one for how early you can run into it relative to how strong it is, especially on certain layouts, but I think it's also one you want to try to avoid early on (or even forever if you can). A lot of Funger is in how combat is realistically a net loss and you want to avoid most of it. There's not much to gain from beating it and the setup you need to be safe against it isn't something you'll have access to on high floors. The RPG mentality of killing big things for loot does play a part of Funger, but in ways that aren't immediately clear or available and in much lower measure than the typical RPG.
>>3898908His patrol is scripted as him walking back and forth, so wait until his back is turned. You can sneak behind him, go through the door to get Le'garde, and then sneak out the same way. That way you don't have to fight him at all.

It's been awhile since >we had a thread up.>Post progress>Ask Questions
>>3896735i hired a guy from here for my last game, will probably do the same for the next game
>>3896735I do it in LMMS. NEScaline, ZynAddSubFX and Triple Oscilator work out fine.
>>3896735Right now I’m getting free stuff. In the future I’ll probably buy stuff if I can find something quality.
I uploaded alpha builds of my Paprika x Persona fangame, first person dungeon crawler. If anyone curious, you try it out:https://jameshillten.itch.io/paprikaxpersonahttps://youtu.be/cwIIQzTK2oY
