I finished Fear & Hunger 2: Termina with all characters on Masoχ-S/M. Here's my final character ranking based on objective gameplay factors.
>S tier
Max consistency, no exploits needed to win the game.
>S- (exploit) tier
The easiest way to beast the game on the hardest difficulty if you use "exploits". Whether something qualifies as an exploit or not is subjective but it's easy to see why they're relying on things that go from "kind of overpowered" to "outright [de]bug abuse".
>A tier
It's honest work, but it's consistent.
>B tier
Would put S to A characters here, if you picked suboptimal starting skills.
>C tier
You get at least one useful reliable thing from your character's start.
>D tier
You get nothing, you need to get lucky to survive, highest demand on player's action skill (dodging enemies, planning your route well, etc.).

The most obvious exploit right away is the debug tile that gives you a rifle + bolt cutters. You can, in example, empty the rifle into Chaugnar in Tunnel 7 for a free extra early soul -> possibly earlier Weaponcraft -> Meat Grinder. The Chaugnar fight is easy to fuck up even when you've got good gear. Then there are Rher dimension exploits

Who thought it would be a good idea to design a female character that looks like a misplaced Bratz doll from one of those cheap 3Daz porn games with a whole dollar store Halloween Special bundle glued to her head?

Are those supposed to be natural growths? Because they look like plastic props from the Unreal free assets section. Then again, her face also looks like it's made of plastic, so maybe it's an intentional motif.

>>3692020
literally everything except the guilds, and even then it's a split decision win for oblivion. oblivion absolutely nails showing you the logistics of how the different guilds operate, but then it ruins the questlines with railroaded trash writing, and the guilds end up feeling strangely insular. morrowind's guilds do a lot in terms of "big picture" worldbuilding, depicting a cohesive network of relationships between the guilds and how they all fit together in the world. morrowind's guilds don't do any moronic shit, but they're not individually THAT interesting either. most guild questlines boil down to "the guild heads are corrupt" in some way or another.

anyway morrowind gets so many things right and it does so many great things that no other bethesda game even attempts. it absolutely solves the way fast travel works, the appropriate level of urgency for the main quest, and even the way the play area is bordered off with zero invisible walls. it seriously shouldn't be understated the extent to which oblivion and skyrim regressed coming off of morrowind.

What's the fine for necromancy in Cyrodiil?
>>
>>3691979

I understand that the worlbuilding and artstyle downgrade from Morrowind was insane, but idk, the characters and story in this game just have this weird charm to them.

Like.. for one, the world is being invaded by demons, as in actual fucking hellgates are opening everywhere and the emperor and all his heirs are dead and whole towns are being razed and yet it still feels like flowery meadows and smug grinny faces. Also the Dunmer have completely normal voices now, obviously it's because theres only like.. 3 voice actors but it feels like the quality of life in Cyrodiil is just way better than Morrowind that they just stop getting smoker voice.

So guys I bought a Switch lite and the sound and visuals are meh. Anyway, I bought Kingdom Come Deliverance and it's a borefest. I think the game is simply not fun on the Lite.
Last consoles I had were ps3/xbox360 and 3ds. I have no gaming pc.

What games are good on the Lite? I mostly like rpgs, both western and eastern.
Is DQ XI fun on a small screen?

What is it about Atlus games that make them so popular in the west, while Falcom games can't really get over? I look at the image on the right and I think, "this looks cool." I see the image on the left and I think "this doesn't look like it's for me." As a non-weeb, Atlus games look good to me. Falcom games are really off-putting when I first see them.

>full of fat and boring quests
That's xenoblade. And persona too.
If anything sidequests are the best part of Trails games. At least the ones I played.
>>3692944
I love trails (and Falcom) until around CS2-CS3. I stopped playing after CS4.
Personally:
- lines missing voice acting, this is a big one, makes it feel cheap
- worse voice acting, both English and Japanese, Atlus is pretty much king in voice acting today
- really bad tropey writing in modern Trails
- worse music, I'm not autistic about Singa, all the composers are at fault, not just Singa
- awful community, JRPG online communites are toxic, but trails is really bad especially considering the quality of the games, just not worth it for most people to get into
- they also keep unnecessarily streamlining (dumbing down) the gameplay, and it's already a dumb turn-based jrpg to begin with
- CS is obviously a Persona rip-off
- late English translation also means they don't care about non-Chinese/Japanese/Korean customers, same with Xseed brouhaha, Falcom is just a racist xenophobic company, I don't want to support that
>>
Trails hasn't had a game in its series worth playing since 2011. Yeah its got a big world and all the games connect but that doesn't matter when the actual writing and characters suck donkey dick. If anything, it makes it even worse because they built up a world in a fantastic trilogy for Sora and a good duology in Crossbell to squander it on absolute garbage in everything after. I'm not the biggest fan of Atlus but P5R and Metaphor shit all over everything past Crossbell.

Also, Atlus markets Persona and Metaphor games in the west in a way that makes them seem less like weebshit than they are, whereas Falcom doesn't hide it at all.

Falcom games have normalfags filters at the start of their games
>Trails in the Sky 1 starts with tsundere Estelle towards Joshua and Olivier exists
>Trails of Cold Steel 1 starts with Rean falling down a hole and landing on Alisa's boobs and she slaps him
>Ys 8 starts with Abel coming accross his lady party member changing her clothes and him getting slapped
You get the idea, the publishers don't want their games to become mainstream. I can respect that, even if Ys 8 and Cold steel made me cringe a bit when I got to the above parts. Not Olivier though, I love this guy

Dragoons became popular because they look cool, but in practice the Jump move is not really that useful. It takes longer than simply attacking, and in practice the damage-per-second (or damage-per-turn in FF3) tends to even out the same as if you had just attacked multiple turns in a row. It also allows the Dragoon character to avoid damage, but most of the time I either DON'T want to avoid damage, or avoiding the damage won't matter.

If the enemy is using single-target attacks, then I need to be cautious with keeping vulnerable units alive (notably a white mage). A Dragoon is NOT a vulnerable unit, they have high HP and high Defense, not the best but much better than a mage. By Jumping, I reduce the amount of targets the enemy can choose. In a party of 4, my white mage has a 1/4 chance of getting attacked, but if my Dragoon Jumps, it becomes 1/3!

If the enemy is using multi-target attacks, then I'm going to cast party-wide heals afterward, so most of the time avoiding the damage with Jump won't matter because the Dragoon is getting healed anyway. Sure there's a bit more to it than that (i.e. heal spell might not fully heal the damage taken) but generally it holds true.

Bad game design! But they do look cool.

It's really not too bad so long as you compel your autism with the combo's. If you only quick twice and then briefly pause to readjust your positioning you keep the fast, strong swings without the awkwardly slow third one.

>>3698198
Well it doesn't help when the second attack doesn't hit when the opponent is knocked back out of range from the first one.
>>
>>3698198
Yeah I was able to do that and the high damage makes up for it sort of. It just ends up being a disappointment to get to level 5 Protean and it's so underwhelming compared to the description of it.

Damn I hate to admit it but this game is kinda boring. I'm at rubiss' tower in the underworld but I'm struggling to get myself to finish it's just such a snoozefest after awhile.

>Now I get that FF8 attracts anxious teens who identify with Squall more than Seifer with but Seifer (again: besides mild bullying) is a more likeable character because he's social, witty, taking the lead, going straight after what he wants and disregards the kind of authority that does not demonstrate authority. That's a lot of words to elaborate on the chad versus the incel meme.
You're doing mental gymnastics to make Seifer look like a more appealing and heroic character, when that is so far removed from reality it's actually quite impressive.
He demonstrates selfishness, massive ego, is disrespectful towards pretty much everyone, bullying, glory hogging, arrogance etc. He's effectively an immature brat. Your idea of a "chad" is an angsty teen.

Okay so we have two angsty teens. I still see no reason why Seifer is worse than Squall other than Squall being the protagonist and the player becoming more familiar with Squall through his inner monologue. Disrespectful you say? Arrogance you say? Selfish you say? Bullying you say? Squall deeply hurts everyone around him with his cold, distant, inconsiderate attitude but because most people around him are easy going, flexible and empathic the player doesn't notice how much of an asshole Squall really is.
>>
>>3697695
>Squall deeply hurts everyone around him with his cold, distant, inconsiderate attitude
Squall is reactive, Seifer is proactive. This is literally the most classic difference between a hero and villain type character. Villains act, Heroes only react to what the Villain does.
