op aint ever gonna play any of this shit anyway

I have seen that Final Fantasy Tactics is really liked. I gave a look at the recently released version present on Steam, but there's people suggesting the War of The Lions one. What's the differences? There's a version playable on Duckstation that is worthy the try?
>>4009592>contrarianI use malak and a monster in my main comp. No, he has never hit anyone. He's a pacifist... Or blind.
>>4009661For me, it’s Ramza and four generics that I use for the entire game
>>4009661>this man has beaten the game
>>4009670No challenge, no fun>>4009668I played the game like that when I was a kid.
>>4009522still cringe. thinking everyone is a bot just because they disagreed with you is pure cringe.
Unironically contender for the worst dungeon ever created in an RPG.
>>4009848I don't recall asking for puzzles, so I don't know where this is coming from. My answer is I don't. Elaborate dungeons are fine though
>>4009814>gamedev concepts*gamedev/youtuber/game design school meme concepts
>>4009729That's exactly why it's so fucking awful.It isn't hard. It isn't challenging. It isn't though provoking. It's boring dogshit that NEVER ENDS.
>>4009904Explain why artifical difficulty like 10000% inflated hp isn't artificial difficulty. FYI that's the very definition of it.
Not a part of that conversation, but I think the term "artificial difficulty" is just meaningless. If you want to say the difficulty is just HP bloat, built around save scumming, rocket tag, or just done in a way that makes things nothing more than tedious or whatever it's one thing, but "artificial difficulty" has about as much meaning as just saying it's bad, and worse, in a way that muddies the judgement. An enemy having a huge HP pool could be challenging or tedious depending on countless factors, but if under both circumstances it's "artificial" what does that designation even bring to the table?Why not just call it shit? It's about as meaningful of an observation, but more clear
It's really easy to abuse the crafting and weapon fusion system though if you know what you're doing
Would love to see a port of Ark of Napishtim to switch. That one gets overlooked by falcom far to often.
>>4009012Ark of Napishtim has better story and characters than Origin and Oath (which are made on the same engine), as well as some of the most important lore drops in the series.But... it also features abysmal gameplay, with enemy levels being all over the place (so they either do no damage or one shot you), tons of missables (including powerful upgrades), awful long jump mechanic (which is as consistent as the kick in Dark Souls), multiple points of no return where you can softlock yourself, the charged magic attacks from Origin/Oath are instead on a long cooldown here and you need to farm a fuck ton of materials to upgrade each, etc etc. It's a very rough game. It didn't even have any fast travel (despite the world being much larger than Origin/Oath) until the localizer added it in the Steam version. It's easy to see why Falcom never bothered re-releasing it.
>>4009040I had a blast playing the ps2 version back in the day though. Even if Konami uglified the gfx for no reason. I'd have to play it again to see how much of the faults you listed I'd agree with because at this point it's been about 20 years since I played the game.
>>4007704>>4008215I usually play with an 8bitdo actually which is maybe why I've never had an issue getting it to work. Did you get it working?>>4007506I think you need to select "Input Assignments" here. Don't know which game that is but you click into the button you want to assign and press the button. I dont think the controller matters as long as its connected to your pc.
>>4009991Haven't really tried yet, been playing other things, but I can tell you the Switch Pro doesn't really work when playing the game from Gog Galaxy, only when adding the executable to Steam which I don't really mind but my autistic mind would really like to have the progress on Galaxy.
This is where Obsidian peaked. Kind of meh storywise, but the gameplay was robust and feature-complete.
>>4006629>a dwarven monk, so you can mock Khelgar all the timeAre there dialogue options for this? Would be clever, but I’d put it past Obsidian
>>4006632I don't know, but if you're a tiefling a villager would think you and Neeshka are a married couple.
>>4006632No.You even get the dialogue option that implies that you think dwarven monks are a bit silly when you first meet him.
>>4006632No, but it makes sense because even a dwarf PC isn't dwarven culturally, like Khelgar.
I hate DnD combat. Deadfire has the best rtwp combat of all time.
Is there any hope for this company?
>>4006906Feena is a better fit for Adol which is why in most official material you see them paired together.
Maybe it's just me but i don't remember Estelle being this embarrassed in the OG.I swear she was as dense as Rean and Joshua was the one who had the crush first but now Estelle was the one getting blushy blushy.Cold Steel gave a terrible influence i swear to god.
>>4008838she was always like that
>>3945807Yes they need to make the Aurelia game
>>3993991This is is the most retarded play order I've ever seen. Just play in the original release order ffs. "Hmm should I play 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,- NAH! 1, 2, 6, 7, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9. THAT'S THE LOGICAL WAY TO PLAY IT. THAT'S THE OFFICIAL TRANSLATION ORDER (it isn't)!".
Have you played any interesting RPG Maker game lately?

https://snowroad.shatranj.space/gameNot rpgmaker, but this 20 year old free RPG just got a web-port in English.
I'm 100 hours into Kingmaker and I think i'm in chapter 2 or 3 and I everything about the game is really quite good, there's just one thing thats kind of ruining the entire experience and is tempting me to drop the game and Owlcat as a whole forever. Does the filler combat ever let up? Maybe it's because i'm playing turn based with a controller(pc) but it feels like i'm fucking drowning in combat all the fucking time. I'm playing on challenging and it kind of feels fucking ridiculous at this point and the pacing is completely fucked by virtue of constant never ending battle at all fucking times. Are all the Owlcat games like this? I already bought all of them because I heard they were on par with Larian. It doesnt even feel like there's a "little" too much combat it feels like the combat to story ratio is completely fucked 4x in the wrong direction and its blowing my mind and driving me a little crazy. Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me?
>illiterate third worlder didn’t get the (yous) he was hoping for so he tried vagueposting and then escalated to replying to himself

Fuck that game. Deleted at chapter 6.Can't creampie Amiri, no bueno.

Would you want more from the world of bravely default? Or do you think octopath is a good natural evolution for the developers and the series? I do like the chibi designs in bravely so I think more of the series would make me happy.
>>4009008oops new additions were Tomahawk on TizRod of Fire on Agnes (doesn't use in land turtle fight)Scimitar on Edea
Einheria14/15/14/15New additions: Jade Crosier on AgnesSleep Blade on Edeaeverything else the same as beforeI should have put a staff on Agnes a long time ago to help with the heals but I was being very prudentDoes over half my health with crescent while I'm guarding, all I can really do is just default until she leaves herself open.When she jumps, I intentionally leave one character not guarding and most of the time she'll go after that one, edea can just barely survive Jump at full hp, but if it crits nobody can survive it either way. this is just a lucky moment of good hp growthslevel 16 would have probably been better.Not much else to say, just stay topped off, and apply your tier 3 magics and attack whenyou canthis is the first fight in a while i've had to use a couple ethers. I know you can poison her but I couldn't get it to happen at all
Artemis16/16/15/16Cross ShieldYggdrasil HelmMirage Vest for everyoneNot sure how much of this was necessary... The Mirage Vests were definitely the crutch of this fight, I think I spent 13200pg for all the equipment and 3000 for more hi potions and fenix downsThis fight is very similar to Land Turtle, in that you should not attack when it gets +2.first use of Ironclad for actual benefit.I have to drop my guard to heal, ironclad always goes first. I haven't been using it for stomp, I don't see a point, when you're guarding the debuffs mightas well not exist. This is also a better fight to use Mirage Vests and evasion armor because Artemis' multiburst does about 7-8 hits but with 44-45 evasion sometimes I don't get hit at all. Honestly I had more trouble getting over the adds, they have so much health on Hard difficulty. Once again I really don't care I'm only hitting her on her guard phase, the weakness hit is really just so this goes at a reasonable pace.Near death this biss stops messing around and uses two bursts at once. This boss has a very helpful steal item but... I'm going to see how far I can get like this without steal items.Rusalka and Derosa are still too strong right now even after buying all this armor so back to the drawing board.
>>4008459the first bravely default game is great, much better than octopath and it's not even close.the second game was shit however and i have not played any more since.>>4008474i tried to play without much grinding because i thought it would be a lot easier than it was. i got decently far with it but eventually you just start getting party wiped in one attack without being able to do anything about it because of lack of abilities/itemsi was going blind though, good luck with the routing because it seems like it would be obnoxiously difficult even with all of the outrageously overpowered things you can do in that game
Mephilia16/16/15/16Valkyrie/SpellfencerKnight/WhitemageKnight/Freelancer (just for scan)Valkyrie/SpellfencerTwo-handed, HP 10% UpNew additions:Valkyrie Halberd on Tiz,EdeaPeace Ring on everyoneMephilia has the least HP of the four asterisks in chapter 2, but makes up for it by having devastating damage. This boss is very simple mechanically. Every 3rd turn she will use the earth summon, Girtablulu. There is nothing to resist earth. And the adds here are actually very dangerous because the archer causes confuse and I can't sacrifice my health for this because the crit rate on the impaler is too damn high.For the first time since the beginning, I have to change jobs. I can't multi target with one enemy, but I can with valkyrie/dragoon's crescent attack to hit them without waiting the next turn.. The impaler dies but not the archer. As long as both adds are not dead she can't resummon more. Honestly switching to valk was probably a bad decision, I could have won much more consistently with magic knights but i wanted to try something new.Comment too long.

I was tricked into playing this god awful game. All the characters are whiney, the villain is comically evil and the gameplay is stupidly slow. Are all pre-nocturne Megaten games this bad? Is Eternal Punishment any better?
Bro played the psp version XD
>>4007104>EP is worseEternal Punishment has the best writing of any of the SMT games but 90% of the gameplay is you arranging your turn order into fusion spells.
>>4006727This game was so fucking bad that I thought it was a joke when some people said it was the best one. I was genuinely offended. Did these people watch a YouTube summary of it or something, or it's because "omg le gay character 11/10"?
>>4006728Why do you just open every thread and get angry for some unrelated reason?Don't want to discuss, just don't post anything.
>>4009386Same. I played innocent sin on psp. People hate on persona 3-5 for being to easy then praise the early personas lmfao. Persona 2 is so easy you literally don't even need to fuse new demons. Whatever you have lying around + autobattle is enough to kill anything. The game pretty much plays itself.

>>4007392>>4007392The game is about Harry, and your actions determine his ending. It sounds to me like you were expecting a different kind of story from the game, which is fair, but you can't evaluate the ending based on what you thought the narrative was going to be rather than the actual narrative

>>4007264>Redguard>Elven name>Huh?Yes. Falion was born in the Summerset Isles to a traditional Altmer Priestess but fathered by an ancient very dangerous 2,700 year old Redguard serial rapist fugitive exiled from Hammerfell ages ago thanks to his undying obsession with necromancy and other "unexplored" dark arts. Hence the highly unconventional (but fitting) name for a black man with a talent for black magicQuite unfortunate imo, I'm very saddened to learn of his sudden unexpected death, Skyrim is indeed lesser for his loss. How typical of ungrateful Nordic luddites to kill the most based Redguard in in the whole bloody province for no better reason than blind racism. My guildmates and I have been pounding bottle-upon-bottle of Black Briar Reserve for nearly a month now to cope with our sorrows. But eventually we'll need to get a grip, sober up and get back to business>I don't like him!Few did. He was a great man but to an extent he shared his father's lack of charisma

It's Monday once again. What monster collecting or monster raising games have you been playing? What upcoming ones are you looking forward to?
Anyone tried lumentale yet?
>>4007407still only >>3989202I haven't paid any attention to updates since then to see if they've fixed or are working on the issues I had.
>>4007416Well, theres this I guess.
>>4007407I'm seeing around 30-40% negative reviews which makes me think it's probably good if you ignore most issues, so I'll just wait for them to patch before I buy
>>3949912I was playing Yu-Gi-Oh! Monster Capsules normally until I gave up and cheated my stats. The jump in difficulty after the 4th floor is just insane. Before that the only hard boss was the Great Moth because it also had some Silver Fangs out of nowhere. The Curse of Dragon was also pretty easy but then Panik just straight up murders you and none of the battles on the floor were winnable with my nearly level 20 Great Pa as my main monster.I stopped playing in the lightning graveyard because I have no clue where to go to progress and the constant stream of random battles is tiring. Was a pretty fun game up to this point. Guess the rest of the Early Days set of games are adjacent enough that I can also bitch about Dark Duel Stories with the terrible rock paper scissors 200 attack monsters can just gobble up your 1600 fusions. The second one is even more bullshit since it has the same duelist level and rock paper scissors but now you need to offer summon and you can't attack the same turn as you make a fusion. Duel Monsters was great though after I got a bunch of warriors off Jono. Going to give the rest of the games a fair shake but I will probably just end up replaying World Championship and go back to FM.

The version that added new story content, new social links, extra endings, quality-of-life improvements, HD ports, and is playable on basically everything short of a refrigerator?
