Post RPG Trivia>Parasite Eve and Xenogears were both originally meant to be the seventh Final Fantasy game before the version that would become the official Final Fantasy 7 was decided on.
>>3857233Explain FF2 then
>>3855571still pissed at what Hajime Tabata did to this series with Third Birthday
>>3857238>All you had to do was google it.You'd be surprised how willfully ignorant this board is.
>>3857301>trusting Google the moment they forced AI bullshit on you
>>3857307just dont read it, you crybaby
Its almost 15 years old.
was it really just nostalgia bros
>>3852527That's because Piers isn't a warrior... Why would you want to use a mage as a warrior??? Specifically, he's the best water magician of all time period. So.
>>3855293Piers is crap as a mage.
>>3841655>despite having a retarded plot, the characters will not shut upThat's the big problem with all golden sun games
>>3855271yes
Haha...
>>3857077it's more than what the other characters have
>>3857086You only hurt yourself by refusing to be honest
>>3855461Thank you, Rean, very cool
>>3857080I would unironically put the Cold Steel games over recent FF games
>>3857080it used to be ironic but these retards memed themselves into actually liking it which makes it even funnier
Is there a site like the Visual novel database but for ranking RPGs (especially JRPGs)?I just want to get a jrpg recommendation that isn't final fantasy
>>3857189>rankingVndb is more for applying tags than meaningful ranking.Might as well use opencritic
>>3857189>I just want to get a jrpg recommendation that isn't final fantasyWhat are you looking for in particular?
nepchan is a good one for doujin RPGs
>>3857189You could probably use Backloggd or Grouvee or Glitchwave or Metacritic and filter for JRPGs/RPGsBackloggd is the lesser evil imo
>>3857189Ask an AI lol
Why do women like Warden Blackwall /vrpg/?
>>3855803Why are you watching women playing games instead of playing them yourself?
>>3855803I will never be a woman, but he is strong and capable, yet has such a gentle, caring presence.The dark hair and deep voice also make him somewhat mysterious and alluring.I totally get what they see in him.No homo.
Is this series worth playing if I don't masturbate to anime women?
>>3852078Depends on what you like. Also, some have timers.
>>3855871yeah it was main story locked. also, this shit should let me morph if i know the material needed
When will next Atelier game be uncovered? Next nintendo direct?
>>3857129Koei Tecmo's fiscal year ends March 31st so I imagine if they have another smaller Atelier like a remake or a Rorona otome game, then they'll announce it in a Direct in the first 3 months of 2026. If not, they'll announce big new content (or EoS) for the JP gacha in March and reveal the big new console game in the summer or even wait all the way until just before next Tokyo Game Show.
>>3857221>KT just launched KT store to hoop around google play and apple's extra fees>gacha might die next yearIt would be hilarious.I'll still use steam for payment cause i can't read moon and i only played resleri JP thanks to the redditor making a stuff to translate the game.
What's the best build and difficulty for first playthrough? Some people were telling me dominating and just playing slow
>>3856727>>3856748Not him but I've done exactly that BUT I knew where all the oddities were and used oddity collecting to level up "for free" to avoid any weak spots in the character growth. It was very strong. Not the strongest, but satisfying and capable.
I like classic because I like killing everything that gets in my way and getting stronger for doing so.
>Empowered [insert psi skill]>Grants you the empowered invocation ability that increases the [insert psi] skill by 35% until the end of the turn, but drains away all the remaining psi points afterwards.Jesus what a shitty description. How the fuck are you supposed to divine from this that it takes 35% of your unmodified skill and adds it as a flat bonus to your effective score instead of increasing either your effective or base score by 35%?
So what *did* Styg envision with the TM school, exactly? I feel like he put it in the game to offer weak builds/bad players a crutch to get through the game with, but it also just makes good builds even better than they already are? It's really weird.
>>3857072in his mind, its an augmentation school for hybrids, with a delayed-gratification theme for more mature userswhich immediately falls apart the second you get contraction and stasisWhatever though; my tm sword builds are the most fun things ive ever played.
Your VTMB THREAD- tragic, my apologies, but you see there is a strict code of conduct that all of us must... must... adhere to if we wish to survive.
>>3856399>be me>play civ 2>play smac>play civ 3>never play another civ game againFells good man
So the shills got to me and it seems like I will pirate the game day one. I'm pretty hyped up about it, if only because I can only bring myself to finish the first game so many times in such a short span.Aside from the obvious, what I hate the most is that there's no Nos or Malk, which were my favorite guys without a doubt. Banu Haqim would be the most appealing to me if not for the Islam stuff they have going on. Lasombra would be a close second but I don't really understand their obsession with power and control, though I might have to go with them. I like assassin types.In some threads some anons were posting some really interesting pre-made character sheets and these are the only ones I have lefthttps://imgur.com/a/nosferatu-clan-archetypes-J82JFTpAnyone have some some Lasombra or Assamite ones at hand? I'd love to go with either but I have no idea have to go about it
>>3856656I've found these as well but they're not quite as good. https://imgur.com/a/giovanni-clan-archetypes-k7GUbmDI suppose I'd wonder in general how any member of a leadership-oriented clan would fare doing henchman work. A Ventrue would presumably sire a CEO type, and wouldn't then send him to fight, no? What do they do, keep them as regional managers of their front business?
someone a while ago said the music in venus' club was supposed to be louder so that she couldn't hear you but i saw this while going through the game files>[Pretending to not hear above the music]What?seems like it was intended for her to only be pretending to not hear you so she had an excuse to go into her office and talk in private about the shady shit she has you doing
>>3857143That wasn't obvious? She's not going to ask you to murder someone at a bar with other people around
>adapt beloved pen and paper rpg with "real time" combat because you think turn based is for japanese FAGS, real americans like ACTION>idiots actually eat it up and think it's the most patrician shit since UlyssesThank fucking god people are over rtwp now after dnd got more players some years ago. Some fags acted like this shit was better than much better games just because it was based in some pen and paper game, while bioware actually botched the system HARD. It NEVER had the feeling of turn-based DnD. It was never a "real" rpg (doesn't exist yet on pc), it never came closer to emulating actual RPGs.
https://rpgcodex.net/content.php?id=21here's a nice article on why turn based is THE crpg system.>>3857064dnd combat is usually mediocre, but there's been some good vidya adaptations like temple of elemental evil or knights of the chalice 2
>>3857068It's less than they thought it was boring and more that Diablo came out during BG1 development. Remember when game developers were gamers and just did what they thought would be fun?
>>3857109thisreal time rpgs were literally inconceivable before D1nobody had ever done it beforenobody had thought of it beforeand it only happened because of an accidentit was a breakthrough and a massive success and everyone was trying to emulate it
>>3857062Turn based would be better if RPGs had fewer but more unique encounters. But since RPG developers can't help themselves but to pad their games out with hundreds of mind numbing trash encounters, RTWP is better since it at least lets you get through them faster.
>>3857062>thread titleStopped reading here. That’s a new record, even for me
I'm hard pressed to name a comfier RPG. There's a huge lack of games that have innovative battle systems like this one. We need more games where stuff is solved with mini-games, such as gem matching or playing cards.
>>3856329what little promo material there is doesn't talk about it at all, which I found frustrating before buying.>>3856330diagonals of 3 across and 3 down. Old PQ counted those as 2x 3's, but now that's a 5
>>3856356It was pretty comfy, especially those puzzle challenges. But the arabian nights girl's section was ridiculously boring, and iirc there was a necro artifact that let you set your hp to 1 for some ridiculous benefit that 9 times out of 10 pretty much guaranteed your victory before the game even began.
>>3856330if you connect the corner of a row and column, which means there's at least two horizontal gems and two vertical gems, the remaster says that alongside the gem you put that's a total of five gems matched
>>3856750>>3856400>>3856330Also works for "T" shape match.
>>3856356i have this cart. I thought i was getting a homm game on my ds lol
https://grimuar.pl/planescapetorment/blizzard-in-baator-dlcBunch of Polacks are making a new mod for PT
>>3832485Brace yourself for:Game won't run properly/eurojankTits Nazi referencesTits
>>3832485https://www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/one-of-the-best-rpgs-of-all-time-is-getting-its-first-ever-unofficial-dlc-that-adds-a-whole-new-region-and-restores-cut-content/>As for when you can expect to play Blizzard in Baator, there's good news and bad news. The bad news is that the modders don't expect the project to be completed until 2031, though they "really hope it'll be much sooner" than that. The good news is the first act of the expansion will release later this year, and will take around a dozen hours to complete by the modders' estimateshahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
>>3856827>Tits>Nazi references>TitsSold.
>>3856922This is fine, we're all patient oldfags now anyway.
I have zero desire to play anything set in Baator. What a retarded plane to pick. Should've done an Upper Plane. Major scrub alert.
Thoughts?
If you weren't limited to only the starters + extras, what Pokemon would you reincarnate/would you want to reincarnate as?

so i see they are remaking her games, is there any downside to the remakes?
Remakes already? Didn't they just come out a couple years ago?
>>3852449OP probably means remasters. They would have made a bigger fuss about actual remakes being made.
>>3852549Remasters already? Didn't they just come out a couple years ago?
>>3856510Basically every semi-popular JRPG nowadays gets a "better" edition a couple years later because weebs are pathetic and will buy a game again for very minor improvements.
They ar enot remakes but DX (Deluxe if youre FSL) editions. Editions with more content and either all or most of its DLCTheres no way to play the originals versions of any Atelier game having DX ones availables In fact I think this is the first time DX versions give physical only DLC to PC versions (see picrel)
can we have a comfy tactical rpg game thread?For my taste, I prefer more japanese tactical rpg than non japanese games. (it is because of the design of the characters: I like anime like design)example, non japanese tactical rpg with anime design: sword of convalria (it's chinese and free on steam)Well, game like FF tactics (pic related) for those who don't know what I'm talking about.
>>3856472>Never mind, the system looks really basicIt is but only on lower levels. From the midgame onwards, it becomes pretty complicated but luckily at that point you understand it without getting overwhelmed.>Disgusting uiI disagree, in my opinion, it looks fine, fitting for the setting. It's also readable, especially after you play around with it a bit.
>>3856472It spirals into Yugioh shit
>>3856483Never played it. Meaning what exactly?
>>3856476>it becomes pretty complicatedSry, didn't see yours. I mean, I don't know. The complexity comes from the amount of options. All in all I'd always choose a basic well implemented system over a complex buggy system. Yakuza 7 is basic af, but fun nevertheless.It's readable and does fit the setting. Let's find common ground here.
>>3856492Squeezing Paragraphs into a very small space.
What are some games that have been remade in other games or engines? I'll name some I can think of:>BG1 in NWN2>Icewind Dale in NWN2>Ultima IV in NWN1 (Two versions)>Ultima V in Dungeon Siege>Ultima VI in Dungeon Siege>Morrowind in Oblivion>Morrowind in SkyrimAny games you'd wanna see remade in a totally different engine?
>>3854068Zoom zoom.
>>3854006>are there plans to port the whole gameno news since 2018, so unlikely
>>3854122Well, that sucks.
>>3851704>>BG1 in NWN2>>Icewind Dale in NWN2But why. NWN engine is fucking dogshit snd objectively inferior to infinity engine. Literally the only thing it has going for it is that it's 3d so you can rotate the camera.
>>3856877>Why would modders remake a game in an engine that is hand tailored for mods and completely streamlined the processThat's a real thinker there.
