This was one of the hardest challenges I have ever done and was also one of the most rewarding challenges i've ever done. If you love the series I would highly recommend. Does anyone still play fire emblem or am I super old now?
>>3953947generally it means that if a character dies, thats it, you cant revive them (if reviving is generally possible) and you cant reload a save to try again either.Live with the consequences kind of playstyle.
>>3952929Been playing through a ton of Fire Emblem ROM hacks recently and there's a lot of great stuff out there. Currently on Awful Emblem (supposed to be related the the Something Awful forums) and it's been solid. Cerulean Crescent is definitely my favorite and one of the most fun and unique hacks I've played through. Highly recommend it. If anything, I'm surprised that I don't see more conversations about the vast pool of Fire Emblem hacks out there with how much good stuff we've got.
>>3953954Depends on the game whether reviving is allowed or not. In the infinity engine games you can revive characters during an ironman, you're just not allowed to use a saved game to go backwards in time.
>>3953947In this case in particular it means playing the game as it was intended to be played.
>>3953664that prison boss is super tanky because hes optional, but its usually worth killing him if you've raised up enough unitsYes invest in Marcia, barring crazy situations/bad RNG both her and Jill are super good
Is there any hope for this company?
>>3953670That was before Memories of Celceta became the canon version of Ys IV. By then, Mask of the Sun was Falcom's authorized canon version of Ys IV. Apparently, the story of Dawn of Ys was done by Hudson so it wasn't canon. Adding to this, I was disappointed with the source of Adol's amnesia in Memories of Celceta, I was expecting it to be a callback to Mask of the Sun by having Gadis, Bami, and Gruda, beat him to near death.
>>3953682Just finished Ys 1 on PCE, I can see why Origins would hit harder if you played 1 first but my enjoyment of Origins was what pushed me to stick through the rougher edges. Still extremely playable for an RPG from 87. Onto 2.
>>3950149series sales were down the drain before sky remake (they'll drop down again after SC)
>>3953670So does the PC Engine CD remake of Ys I and II.
>>3945807Yeah but they need to cut their loses and end the trails series asap.
Finished both the first game and Tie just now and wanted to discuss it. Despite the first game being pretty bare bones gameplay wise and the second one being way too easy with how many ways to get overpowered, I genuinely loved these two games in a way I hadn't felt before in a long time. Great OST, girls are cute, themes of friendship done in a way that doesn't just feel like stale tropes, Tie in particular really was able to capture that feel of summer vacation coming to a close especially I got closer to the end of the game. Wish there was a future for this series but it seems like the mobile game was a gigaflop and Mel Kishida seems like he's moved on. Anyone else have thoughts?
While I think the concept of a male mc in this series fucking sucks, I'm actually glad we'll get to experience the story and characters without having to resort to gacha game translations on youtube.
>>3955135Yeah, I think having a male protagonist in a magical girl game is a stupid idea, but it's not enough to be a dealbreaker for me. My biggest issue with Sun was always just being a gacha.It's a shame that it sounds like the Ray adaptation isn't very substantial, though.
This is an RPG?I always though some visual novel/warlking sim.
>>3955199The franchise consists of two RPGs, an anime, and some dead JP-only gacha.
>>3955208Yes Hinako we see the fit
name the rpg with the best evil playthrough
>>3949954I ended up killing the mom, I didn't know there was a more heroic route then.Best thing about these choices is that they still make for a good story.
>>3946597>bg3's "evil path">just generic murder hobo shit which gives you -90% vendors, -90% quests and -90% gearits a qualifier for one of the absolute worst ones if anything
>>3938651WOTR, for all its faults, has very well crafted evil paths with demon and lich. Devil is underwhelming unfortunately.
>>3949975Reminds me of DOS2 where you can nuke Arx with death fog and nobody gives a shitNo idea if they changed that with the big patch
>>3938651Mass Effect
Been playing these games again recently. I beat all of them when I was a teenager back in like 2004, but man I'd forgotten how slow the story is.Anyway, let's talk about .hack.
>>3955023I'm not doing that again. I 100%'d them all as a teenager because I had free time.
>>3954670I finished GU recently and I have no fucking idea what was going through CC2's minds with how they formatted those games. Why is the mid-game for each volume a tournament and in-between the matches is just a character telling you that we need to go to this grind spot they found to get ready for the matches? Also them throwing the same required side quests at you to unlock all the reward givers instead of just keeping them permanently unlocked after doing them in vol 1.Also an unrelated complaint, but after vol 1 you're never really replying to emails unless they're greeting card emails. Makes offline interactions with party members lamer.
>>3955072Same issue they had with IMOQ - Bandai demanded that the games be split up into multiple volumes for some reason so CC2 filled them with retarded time wasting shit in order to tide people over between releases.Each volume of IMOQ has maybe 10 hours of story content but you were expected to pay $50 for each of them. It's just the classic Bandai squeeze.
>>3955080IMOQ didn't really have much time wasting outside of virus core farming, the story was always going from one place to the next with a sense of urgency. The party member dungeons were all optional except for a Piros and Mia/Elk dungeon here and there if I remember right and the Mia stuff was basically important to the plot anyway because of the Macha connection. It's absolutely nothing like GU making you do grinding sessions or Gaspar emailing you and making you do some dumb quest with him.
>>3954950Literally cancer. If I didn't have savestates from emulating I think i'd rather shove a fork into my balls than deal with grunties.
I finished fallout 1 and 2. verdict:fallout 1>incrediblefallout 2>fun but disappointing. anticlimactic, too memey and not as good as 1Thank you for your attention to this matter
>>3954287>No, should have started with Nevada, then 1Imagine telling someone to start a series with a modern knock-off fan game
>>3954178Honestly If they liked 1 and not really liked 2, FoRes is as close as they get to F1, then Nevada expands on F2 formula, and then Sonora is the fallout 2 done right.Fight me on this hill I dare you
>>3954404yes
>>3954398
>>3954880>Fight me on this hill I dare youI likely played Fallout before you were born, and I'm not playing a single janky fangame.This includes Fallout 3.This also includes New Vegas.
>Heh, this Hero of Gothic doesn't even realize what rich and adventurous back story I ha-ACKHis last thoughts before you killed him for his overpowered one handed sword.Apologize.
>>3954461I don't give a shit that 4chan was founded by a rich privileged white baby (with Jew investments later on) on a forum filled with trannies-in-trainingkys redditroon
>>3954480>rich privileged white babyLmao
>>3954175>Are you all masochists?I played odyssey mod which was 230 hours long(in game time). I have problems I'll admit to that.
Do the Archolos (am I the only one who keeps seeing Arschloch?) achievements work in Steam's offline mode?
>>3954510>Poles create well balanced, easily enjoyable 80 hour archolos>Germans create the 250 hour monster that is odyseeThey were like "we will create absolute mountains of content, but if you're not hardcore like us you don't deserve to enjoy it".

Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon.>plays likeSkyrim/Gothic. Combat is clunkier, but weighty; melee is very satisfying.>settingArthurian legend but spooky; 3 Acts, 3 Zones, all full of their own spooky scary stuff. I believe its set during the apocalypse, rather than before it; the world is very much past the point of no return, you're mostly finding answers about what the fuck happened with the help of King Arthur's ghost.>explorationVery good. No part of the map feels empty or pointless, stuff to find everywhere. Gear sets are grimdark autism in a fun way.

Heavily armored hard hitting fighter/ warrior types are the best class in every rpg>but if you babysit the caster for 60 hours and carefully manage mana or spells lots he will eventually be able to cheese all the fightsIts tedious and annoying. The more warrior types on the team, the smoother and more enjoyable the experience will be. Less resource management, less chance of wipes and restarts and most rewarding because fighters actually get to use all the loot. Casting that one spell that circumvents everything with your uber mage circumvents the fun too. And if you're an rp type, the warriors are more grounded and connect better to the story and world than any other character type. Rogues are evil, paladins are self righteous, rangers are too disconnected. Warrior is just right.Take the fighterpill
>>3953974classes are composite features of a "party" in an "rpg" those who focus on "muh human warrior" meme are self-inserters who think they are the class and the character, so they have to be the "killer" because that's the "main character" and not the "gay" "support". why? no friends and no conception of teamwork.
>>3954845The funny thing is that idea that dude with a sword = best archetype for protagonist is childish and incorrect.The real protagonist is a support class. Someone who will always be crucial in and out of combat but will rarely act as center of attention. A natural born manipulator making things and people fall where they belong.
>>3954911The tank is the protagonist, always has been always will be. They are the ones putting themselves in harm's way and directly protecting the group. The support classes can't function without the tank.
>>3951933The most fun classes are the ones that benefit from being in smaller parties, Etrian has two of these; Hero and Ninja.
>>3954911>>3955121the protagonist is the party.this is in the root of the genre, the fellowship.you guys have no friends or conception of teamwork or leadership, so you don't get this.
Your thoughts on the companion reveal? I think they look neat
>>3952520I think he meant the soldier not the twin.

>>3951382Imma eat dat ass with no hands!But yeah, I'm kinda hyped in a way I haven't been for a while. I'm sure I'll be disappointed eventually, but I'm enjoying what I'm seeing so far.

>>3954177>>3954182
>>3953124Don't worry op, I feel the same. This game is an rpg first and an fps second, keep that in mind. I just ignore the boring dialogue and story and just do their quests then kill them after for their loot. Played this game since 2012 btw. Hate it, but I always come back to it, just to continue my evil playthroughs and leave the Mojave a worse place.

>>3954813>Since I just finished it, how about Shadow Hearts?Thanks, going to give it a try.>By the way, I take it there's now a complete fan translation of Valkyria Chronicles 3?The translation of the main game has been finished for a while now, but I'm not sure about the DLC maps - most of them were still JP only when I played the game in 2018 IIRC.

>>3944239we have a lot of games in common, "mang"but i see many stinkers. Dragon snore is bad (dragon quest), Dragon smegma is also bad.
Is it good in 2026? I idiscovered it yesterday and it feels like the perfect MMORPG I was searching for all this years >F2P>open-world (literally) terraformed by its players >an actual true survival PvPvE open-world, no zones, no loading screens>gives me a mix of Skyrim, Kenshi, Mount&Blade vibes >and the most important thing (for me): moves-matter combat (shields actually protect and stop attacks), not tab nor "aktion!" (spam-button) combatAny veteran?If it's not good, any other MMORPG recommendation that has greentext?
Played this game like a madman from 2011 to 2016 or so.Less than 5 players monthly.Also it's f2p but all you skills are capped to 60 instead of 100. Never played Mortal Online 2 but I'd try that instead of subbing on MO1 and finding out nobody play.
This game was full of trash griefers that camped the low level players as soon as they left the starter settlement. The fate of all hardcore PvP MMOs - the community cannibalizes itself.
>>3953314>5 years grinding a gameNot bad anon, I wish I could experience that era.>>3953368Sad to heard that. From what I readed, the game looked like a medieval Eve Online, in the sense of "all is created by the players". There is no way to revive it? How could be this avoidable in other MMOs?
Any more veterans to give their experiences, opinions?
Funny how each new expansion proves Him even more right than the previous one. Reject Blue Alliance. Return to Scarlet Alliance. #MakeLordaeronHumanAgain
In Dominus Garithos we trust.
>>3949330Go talk about your gay american tranny game in /vg/ or /v/ please and thank you.Don't you have a one-armed niggress to save, Or was that last expansion?
>>3949451Go back to /pol/.
Combat > Story
>>3954431The system in 7 is bad, you are agreeing with me but throwing a tantrum that it doesn't count anyways for some reason like genuinely I don't get what you get out of this. It's really true, no point in arguing with a moron.
>>3954458You keep projecting that I agreed with you, get off my dick dude. Classic narc stuff.Keeps saying "It's useless to argue at this point" and yet you keep replying with continuous nothingburger shit.
>>3941733you missed a spot with the fill tool
>>3954682You clearly do or you would tell me it's perfectly fine that you only use cure and bolt for half of the game
>>3954981>for half of the gameAre we talking about the game, or the system?If you are saying that FFVII encounters are braindead easy for someone who loves exploiting the materia system, I would agree. But you keep saying that "i can use bolt and cure all the time, so materias suck"You don't see the stupidity in this?
