will this remake finally fix 3 being the weakest in the romancing series
How is Minstrel Song ranked in the series? I enjoyed it but I can't see myself replaying it. Haven't played any of the other games except Saga Frontier 2 decades ago
>>4122334That's good, hopefully you keep enjoying the rest of the games just as much, or even more.>>4126084Many people consider it one of the peaks of the series.I have my qualms with it, largely about the way the campaign is structured, but I agree with the general sentiment, most other games are too hyperfocused on certain details at the cost of something else or are very unpolished and rushed in some areas while MS is not just well rounded but lives up to its full potential.It might have some design decisions you don't like but the level of mechanical detail is absurd and it's maybe the only game in the series that I can consider feature complete if you get what I mean, when the remaster added even more stuff to it it felt like they were kinda stretching it whereas nearly every other entry has missed potential here and there.
>>4093029I'm unbelievably excited for this.I only played it once, picked the princess and never managed to complete it.(I dont believe in g*ides) But this was still one of the most fun games I've ever played, the sheer amount of content it has is insane.
>>4126356What would you consider the other peaks?
>>4126502Imo it's safe to say Romancing SaGa 2 is the other peak, after that it's largely up to personal opinions I guess.I'd say a likely candidate so far is Emerald Beyond because while it is hyperfocused compared to RS2 and MS it achieved some truly impressive highs (and some abysmal lows), SSG is not far behind but I'd put EB before it because the core battle system is simply better executed and the progression design is nothing short of revolutionary.I might consider Unlimited as well but as much as I love it to an unhealthy degree I can't ignore the many flaws and massive wasted potential, I think it's by far the most mechanically interesting and "pure" game in the series though, the panel system is still my favorite character building system ever made.
It is still the best RPG ever made in the last century.
Okay, I have it.I dug up some old forum imgur link I posted.CHAD DINK.
>>4098876I liked Shadows Over Loathing and West of Loathing.
>>4126349Dink Bigjunk?
>>4126550He's a big guy
>>4126555UUUU
What did you think of Pink? Was she worthy of being the final Shadow Crystal holder? If not, how would you improve her?
>>4127442>B-BUT.... MY HYPE MOMENTS AND AURA!?! WHY ISN'T ASGORE MURDERING HIS CHILD?!?!?!
>>4127443>Gerson is trans SusieSusie haters going full circle
>>41274455 is the only chapter so far without any hype aura whatsoever.
>>4127444>We only know that the roaring knight is an evil antagonist because they are evil and antagonistic. >But they could also not be evil and antagonistic, because the idea that they could not be evil and antagonistic means they aren't evil and antagonistic.Wow... So this is the literary genius of 4Channel in action...
>>4127444Exactly Knight is Noah kidnapping people he cares about so they get protected from the Roaring i.e. the Flood
>when niggas complain about a JRPG being "too anime"What genre do you think you're playing lil bro?
>>4095777>Kafka, Esq.ok, kinda funny
It means they don't like the associated low-effort cliches. I like Seinfeld but hate American sitcoms.
>>4095777Pretty funny actually
>>4095777nice
>>4095777its me
When kcd-III comes out, the series will become the single best immersive rpg trilogy ever. The fact that both first games use exactly the same engine is awesome. The continuity in feel is unequaled. They could have taken exactly the same gameply, slapped a new story on top of it and the game would also have been awesome. But no, they refined the gameplay, trimmed off some excess, expanded in interesting directions.Lets not even talk about the fact that there is zero competition.
>>4064729Late on the hype train but I don't really care. Maybe I should actually get this game instead of fence sitting. Heard there's mod that makes the game tolerable and enjoyable even (mostly qol stuff), but if you need mods to make your game playable than it's probably shit. Hmm I dunno...
>>4122788I like the accurate represatation of pro fighting left to the wealthy professionals while fist-fighting, which requires absolutely no entry cost, is left to the poor peasants, and they are bloody good at it kek
>>4064729>trimmed off some excesdumbed down streamlined slop you mean
>>4122819Definitely get it. For every criticism I have there are more things I love about it
>>4122788Yeah? And when I defeat a grandmaster in every region and max my skills, I still cannot counter it
Other than Underrail, what are your favorite RPGs to experiment and create overpowered builds in?
What is your favorite Dragon Quest game?
>>4120555>mixed things it aboutJesus, I’m retarded. I’ve heard mixed things about it but I like the character designs
>>4120555Beaten it a few times. It peaks in the first act, everything after you unlock classes is pretty bad by DQ standards.
>>4116244i found the transition to 3d unnecesary. it slows down the combat, dumbs down the exploration, and turns story progression into a series of cutscenes instead of seamless interactions with npc townfolk.
>>4120555Only played the nds version, personally enjoyed it a lot but if someone said it's worse than 4 or 5 I wouldn't argue. Story is a bit meandering but it has some very memorable scenes imo, the superboss foreshadowing sequence is cool as fuck, and so is the cutscene for beating him.Job system is ok, but too grindy if you don't speedhack a gorillion battles. It's a pretty big game content-wise and feels like they threw a bunch of shit at the wall to see what sticks, rather than a focused story compared to something like DQV. Tons of great music tracks, I'd recommend listening to that at the very least.
>>4116244IV, V, VIII, and XI
>>4120450Playing an RPG as a female character and an all-female party is borderline autogynephilia, which is a fetish
>>411308710 has a few literal hallway moment but the entirety of 13 is a hallway with no side objectives at all besides a small part right before the game ends. Even when you go to the casino town you just walk in a straight line through it while FFX would at least have one minigame
>>411305910 and 12 later opens up to bigger towns/cities but you won't have any of that in 13, maybe in their sequels but not in the base game. FFXIII just feels empty that way. Plus, there's a "traitor" in the story. Don't just blindly level everyone up as you'll end up wasting your time. At least when FFV or Grandia 2 did it, they give you replacement who'll carry over the stats you've worked hard to attain. In XIII, you only end up having your time wasted with that character.
>>4122879Okay, idk what any of this has to do with anything.Ffx is a movie game because the combat 99% of the run time is just selecting guy who kills fast monster on the fast monster and guy who kills flying things on flying monsters. Its like 10% more advanced than Simon says.13 is bad because the characters and gameplay are bad and the world is just obnoxious that it isn't worth actually exploring itThem both being just hallways adds to the problem
>>4122942I was talking about the experience or the journey.In 10 or 12, you travel to different cities filled with NPCs. In 13, you don't.In 13, there's also someone among your party members that you have to fight. In a "I'm of this race that's why we have to fight now" kind of way. Anyway, after you killed them, you won't get a replacement character unlike in other JRPGs(FFV or Grandia 2, for example) that's why if you took the time to level them up, you were only wasting your time.
Comfy RPG tavern thread.Your favourite taverns, brothels and inns in cRPGs.
>>4120238Planescape: Torment is the greatest piece of art ever created, followed closely by Baldur’s Gate 2. Every time I look at frames of it, I am filled with awe.
>>4120238I did a little SLOP set in the Smoldering Corpse Bar.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0I53yCZ4_U
I have a soft spot for IWD taverns and inns.Something about the snow and wind outside...
>>4123100Good slop but ruined by the inferior alternative music.You had one job, faggot. Bet you can't even jerk off properly.
>>4125516Not really fitting the vibe I was going for.It sounds more "crowded".
3>1>2
>>4098002listen to thishttps://youtu.be/64elMyXoBtQ
>>4124681>I Think Witcher 3 is overall the better game. But Witcher 1 is the better "witcher" gameCorrect
anyone else crashing in the 3 remaster when winning in Gwent?
>>4124681>Gwent decksI really, REALLY want to play Monsters but I feel railroaded into Northern Realms until I grind up enough cards. I just like the idea of Geralt using a deck in line with his profession.
>>4124681There are mods that can turn W3 into the best witchering game.
Just finished 100%ing this the other day. I never knew how many crazy good weapons and armor were dropped by enemies in the bonus dungeon, though it kind of pisses me off whenever a game dangles a great piece of gear in front of you that you hardly get to use.
>>4121500So no NG+ huh? Sigh...
>manga finally got a translation>all 25 chapters>reach chapter 19>manga didn't finally get a translationthe game is better than the manga anyway
>>4122534There is, and you can carry over enough to be hilariously overpowered from the get go if you play your cards right, but weapons and armor aren't carried over.
>>4119048a radiata stories where the entire overworld isn't just roads would be very nice.
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?
>>4126083HOLY SHITIT'S FUCKING REALhttps://savoryhomegrill.com/
>>4126089the one that the wiki links to yeahis there a new one?
>>4126091Don't run that shit, anon... ai says it's very likely going to run some malware shit on your computer. People in an underrail thread the other day were saying the old character builder tries to fuck you over because the creator of it let it lapse/stopped working on it and apparently it might have gotten taken over by bad-faith actors.IIRC, they said there might be a newer version on Discord? I don't know though.
>>4126095you'd have to know nothing about computers to execute some insane command I just thought it was weird

How many hours have you put into BG2? Do you prefer it to BG1? Thinking about starting a new game...still don't think I've explored 40-50% of the game after playing it so many times all these years
Doing the Planar Sphere quest right now and I'm getting my ass kicked by the demon I'm supposed to get a heart from. Fire resistance isn't enough. I'm being straight-up bodied by this dude. I'm gettin' demon dicked over here.
>>4125331What level are you? That's typically one of the last quests I'd do in the game. For that guy you just want to improved haste your fighters and chop him up quickly.
>>4125355PC: Lv. 10 MonkValygar: Lv. 9Viconia: Lv. 10Anomen: Lv. 10/7 C/FEdwin: Lv. 11Jan: Lv. 10/11 M/TThe only reason Anomen and Jan are in the party right now is I'm waiting for Anomen to get called to the Hall and fail his test, and I'm waiting for Jan's quest to trigger.
>>4125331Anomen's summoned skeletons do pretty well against them
>>4126092Thanks, but I already cleared it via >>4125355's haste rush idea. Moving on to d'Arnise Keep now, still waiting on Anomen's quest to resolve and Jan's to start. Edwina still hasn't gotten her first visit from the Red Wizards yet... These in-game timers are fucking with me.
Any good Undertale or Deltarune fangames come out lately? What about some older ones that have been forgotten?Post fangames, post progress.
>>4127415NTA but see what Toby did to Toriel and Sans.
>>4127415>oh, he literally fell off the ladder and sprained his ankle>and he was fine all along, he was really in the hospital just for some testshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQJOmT6J7N4
>>4127422Rudy is already dead in the UT newsletter though and the amalgamates who were supposed to die stay dead in DRI don't think there's actually a possible way that he can destroy Rudy's character. I can see people being disappointed that he is just a plot device though
>>4127430With how things are going, him staying only a plot device would be for the better.Asgore was lame but at least he was spared from being further humiliated by the story.
>>4127433Asgore will be redeemed in chapter 7 trust the plan
>>4120426there's probably some mods to put that song back in for Disagea PChttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcBfdFn0sU8
>>4064982More like Nippon Ecchi
>>4073503Disrespecting Valvatorez is shamefur display. No sardines for you.
>>408021610 year old girls also look like that, so not sure why you needed to specify that. Uhh, anyway, nis totally should've given Etna a giant ass dumptruck to make her less a pedobait.
>>4122949Like I said, you combine, Death's MP reduction with Nekomata's double hit in Disgaea 4 and you basically have every boss nerfed to shit and you can steal their items.
