Started this last night after putting it off for years, and I'm surprised at how compelling the opening three stories are and how well they teach the gameplay systems and get you used to them before starting the story proper. I really like Brad's side the most on first impression.Never played the others, but I might do the rest of the series if this one doesn't disappoint. What do you think of the Wild ARMs series?
>>3854842>Are they finally available on digital?For a given definition
Fantastic games. Play Alter Code F or the original, can't go wrong with either. ACF was a solid remake of the first game. The second is fantastic. I heard 3 was really good but I never played beyond the first two. 4 and 5 change how battles work with a hex system and it was a mixed bag to people but I think they're probably still good.Enjoy - Wild Arms 2 is great. I prefer the first game more but 2 is really close.
>>3854835https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zhWmDrF3Ew&list=RD6zhWmDrF3Ew&start_radio=1Just remember, Wherever you go, you'll never be alone.
Wild Arms 1 was pretty good but it didn't really feel like a wild west style JRPG, the music was godly thoughI'm halfway through Wild Arms 2 which i really enjoy, probably more so than the first game
>>3856406I have a lot of nostalgia for 1
guys please i need help, what rpg games have the best wizard gameplay so i can really roleplay as a wizard. i'm at my wits end. I need to know what the best wizard games are.
>>3853947Yeah, the tangerines with Bob doodle their plump mothers and ticklenuts. Tessle thid mick nottens blorp dorp doop dop.
>>3853947>>3853928Correct
>>3850780This looks pretty good. Is there anyone here who's played it?
>>3853926Good point. I didn't mention it originally because it's not exclusive to wizards, but it is a very cool mechanic.
>>3850233The NWN modules Almraiven and Shadewood were designed for wizards. Not extremely long or extensive but I really wish more RPGs made playing a wizard feel like this.
>World of Warcraft Troggs>Literal Dwarves with Down Syndrome>So what makes Gnomes, Autism?
>>3855881I really hate fantasy worlds in which magic is accessible to everyone.
>>3855881Gnomes are dwarves with dwarvism.
>>3855881Titans built Earthen as slaves, and Dwarves are nth generation removed Earthen, and Troggs are badly baked Dwarves, Titan mistakes.Gnomes are their own thing afaik, I don't even know if they have origin stories in WoW, which is a garbage setting anyway that gets retconned three times per expansion now.PF, gay dumping ground that it is, handled gnomes better than I've seen most with their first world idea and bleaching. Probably the best idea they came up with in the entire setting.
Warcraft has always been a toothless setting. I got filtered by wow character creation as a kid because it felt like I couldn't make anything cool
>>3856178>Titans come to planet Azeroth (which is also a baby Titan now)>have autistic vision about how the world should look like, from landscape to inhabitants >start 3D printing workers, earthen and other similar variants, 3D printer fucks up first batch, making troggs (some escape)>realize this planet has pests (Old Gods and their servants)>3D print warriors of various races>smack the meanest old god, said god fuck ups the land the point of thinking negative thoughts is enough to get overwhelmed and lose control of yourself, also soil is unusable >Titans imprison other old gods instead of killing them>Keepers(Jannies) are placed on Azeroth to keep an eye on the planet while Titans reshape other planets>old gods over time corrupt titan creations from lowliest Earthen to mighty Keepers, workers and warriors turn from stone and metal to flesh>some of these former titan creations are totally chill with idea of being created by them and view them favorably >others turn on keepers and usurp power
I've beaten this game at least 7 times but some of the Lore still manages to elude me. For example just how old were the Great Deku Tree and the Kokiri kids at the start of The Legend of Zelda and the Ocarina of Time? Isn't the Great Deku Tree supposed to be one of the most ancient RPG Gods ever written like over 50,000 years old since the dawn of time? Okay fine that fits but when did he birth the Kokiri race? Did he create the Forest Folk right away? If so that could get a little awkward given Saria has a crush on Link consider he's supposed to be just a 11 year old Hylian boy whereas Saria is some 11 million year old Sage that'd literally be an age-gap with numbers reaching far beyond even 6 million years! And I mean it also begs the question why doesn't Saria just try dating somebody her own age like Mido or Skull Kid or Fado or whoever right? what do you think? how old is Saria? how old is The Great Deku Tree?Also what really happens in the ending? Did Zelda really trigger the literal Rapture when she was in Heaven with Link after banishing Ganon? Why? Didn't she accidentally split the timeline too? Wow. And how did the Kokiri leave the Lost Woods to go party with the Gods at Lon Lon Ranch? Did they die?>inb4 autistic hordes of "HurrRPpp DurrrPpp Zelda is not RPG you retard!!!!" shitposters being to riottongue my anus niggers. this thread is intended for the serious discussion of a serious RPG
>>3855547>>3855549>>3855568Fuck off wrong board
>>3855568Ganondorf took control of the gerudos and is the sole breeder of the tribe
>>3855813Pretty sure they say in the game that only 1 male is born every 100 years. That sounds really retarded biologically and I'm not sure how such a species could survive but that's what they say.
>>3855549No one but retards consider either game an RPG. At the very best they have a few RPG elements, which is being generous, but at the end of the day they're just action games.
>>3855568>no women>eat rocksGorons are incredibly based.
arcanum is the only crpg i know were literally every plot major character & faction is retarded (spoilers)>Panari fail their ONE JOB and become a cult lead by their enemies>dark elves literally just believe Kerghan with no evidence hes Arronax, and he realised being a nazi was cringe decades ago>Nasrudin does literally nothing but wollow in self pity>elves do nothing and the queen is a lazy schizo>dwarves & Loghaire are self explanitory>Molochean Hand does no review of their employers and end up serving the literal same guy they rebelled against in the pastis this peak writing or also retarded?
>>3853959That's not at all what his mother was saying, he's just saying she met someone of status, the same way someone probably brags about meeting Michael Caine, or why he posted in the first place.Oh no, someone respects someone for spurious reasons! The horror!Do you go outside?Grow up.
were the models/sprites in arcanum done by the same guy who did the fallout 2 sprites?they both have that kind of shiny look
why play this over the infinity engine rpgs?
>>3855114why play an rpg?
is there a limit to how many skills you can apprentice in?
Games with fun character building? There's nothing else to this thread really. I guess card games welcome too.
>>3856059Oblivion only had one companion and he was a joke character so it's not really a hot take for that game.
>>3852539uh, based?
>>3856059i liked the robot from NV. he was cool. Companions are mostly there just to hold excess items rather than anything else. At least in NV you got extra missions from all of them - which makes those a lot better than in the other games
>>3856059>>3856088New Vegas companions also come with perk effects that make them useful just to have around, like Raul's which slows down equipment condition loss or Cass's which buffs alcohol. So even if you don't care for the companions themselves they can be worth using just for their perks that buff you.
>>3851668Boy, you are one fiercely angry eurofag.
>complex system (BG 2, pathfinder wotr)>gooning (mass effect, ff, bg 3)>insanely large game/story (bg 3, pathfinder wotr, ff, roguetrader)>being an op godlike king (pathfinder, ff, bg2 throne, roguetrader)>a clear vision what the game is about (see all of the above)Why is this so difficult for other devs? (cough dragon age cough)
>>3855825good observation. The real problem with RPGs is that the worst consequence for failure is "oh no i have to go back 5 minutes to the last auto-save and do something besides mash the attack button". And even that's rare nowdays.
>>3855804dogshit game and abysmal combat, nigger tier opinion
>>3854898I am very sorry for you that you have to cope with framing a normal enjoyable playthrough of a game everyone can experience as a copebut then again, not everyone can handle freedom, maybe you are just like the most and cannot say no to shadowheart when she tells you shes a massive whore due to animalistic simp instinct taking over. sucks to suck.
>>3855800>contrariancontrarian would be to claim bioware were capable of making good games to begin with
>>3854762>applying the same algorithm over and over again is considered top intellectual activity by SCS-anonlol
having to pause the game to reconfigure your team for every fucking enemy just so you don't die or waste MP sucks.instant killing large enemies for being high level is not a good reward. I would rather enter turn based combat because it's more fun.Why are you allowed to waste days on entering temples that have enemies too high level for you? And with no indication before travelling, that they are too strong?I swapped from Hard to Normal because I hate the fucking tedium. Am I wrong? Changing my team often breaks the game flow, but I get raped if I don't have the proper synthesis attack so game flow is ruined either way
it basically becomes farming enemies in the overworld with mage. In a way it reminds me of old Ys titles with the grind.
>>3855604>magenaw nigga you mean merchantgotta get that dosh
>>3855697SP is king
>>3854712>mfw chanting in Esperanto begins
>>3855922why would i ever need to use sp when almost everything dies without entering battle? just get money instead. it's not like you're wasting the archetype exp.
Recommend me some JRPGs with decent enough romances on the steam sale, I want to feel something.
>>3853059Completely one sided on Laphicet's part, and didn't go anywhere. Hell Velvet x Artorius managed to be more satisfying. Classic Tales of really. I don't think that's what OP wants.
>>3853127>Though I think steam doesn't have the latest Fullbody version which has more contentStill haven't played Rin's route because you know why.
>>3852254>steamNice nightmare difficulty bro, jrpgs are usually console only.Try Langrisser 1-2 (do note that in every other release romances don't affect ending slides fuck knows about this one)Hack G.U - pick a girl kind of stuff.Mary Skelter 2 - same. Prequel bit is of a lesbo variety.
>>3853059incestfag no.
>>3853179>the party member
Alright /vrpg, I got the game, now what? What am I in for?
cringe voice acting
>>3855650Great start, then a slow awareness that they don't have any more ideas for this battle system and will just use screen filling bosses that disable the core mechanics. Followed by a realization that they're been recycling recoloured sprites for the last ten hours. Somehow they got a full remake and never bothered to flesh out the obvioously underbudgeted endgame, just spent the cash on degrading the artstyle.
>>3855681OG already has a convoluted true ending, and the third timeline is short and stupid.
>>3855687Either trolling or retarded because this game actually has very good voice acting. It blew me away.
>>3855687undub then?
Thoughts on Lemina?
>>3855070tomboy is a personality type, not a physical appearance.

wtf Lunar looks so nice on Mega CD. Is that the best version?
