After playing Xenosaga I am really craving for some space opera jrpg so I set my eyes on this... but apparently all games in the franchise are online and I don't really care for MMORPGs.Should I bother with it?
Flesh Sonic.
The original series on the Genesis is traditional JRPGUniverse at the very least has a single-player story separate from the MMOThat's all I know
>>3691546The handheld games aren't bogged down by online infrastructure like lobbies.Play the DS game if nothing else, it's only like 8 hours long and afaik it's the only one where dialogue changes based on your race.
>>3691546Play phantasy star iv. It's ancient but still one of the best jrpgs ever made.
try star ocean
I do love me some in-depth combat in my RPGs.What are your favorites?I've recently played Stoneshard, pic related. It's early access, so I recommend giving it a pirate like I did. I really love it so far and intend to buy it when they actually finish the damn thing, it's just fairly barebones so far. I ended up choosing the mage character and had a really rough time at first, the game is pretty unforgiving. I went with pyromancy and was getting my shit pushed in every encounter, I'm pretty sure I should have went with Electromancy instead for all those debuffs. I can't really give it much of a review since there unfortunately isnt much to it yet, but I recommend keeping an eye on it.Before that, I played and beat Skald: Against the Black Priory, and that's definitely one of my favorites now. It's a very simple game as far as mechanics go, but refreshingly so. It's one of those where resource management is super important. Combat is fairly satisfying though, it's all grid based, same with Stoneshard. I went with a pure mage in that one too and it was actually really rewarding, especially after I unlocked Thunderclap. That single spell is probably the best ability in the game, you can stunlock every enemy on the screen every turn so long as you hoard mana potions.10/10 highly recommend. It'll run on any old toaster too.Now, I'm thinking I'll give the Wasteland games a go, they look neat. What would you recommend?
>>3697737>That's the game that murdered my GPUim close to beating it on gtx 970, had a great idea to lock my fps at 40, cause i was not a fan of my 10 year old gpu drawing 180W non stop, CPU has been 90%++ usage all that time and still going strong.
>>3697751Worst part is it would be easy af to make. I like games where the whole squad can be utilised, like sending troops on a mission, as done in fft.
>>3697663I really do enjoy Stoneshard but they're so slow on development.I've got enough hours out of it that I can't really complain.
>>3697737>That's the game that murdered my GPUI have a 3080 and when I played it at launch, act 1 would get 100-120 fps and act 3 would get 30-60 fps. Some YouTuber with a reviewer copy had a 4090 and it would chug down to 20fps at times
I enjoyed Dungeons of Neheulbok. The light tone and story was a nice change of pace for this genre. Very good gameplay. The company that made it has half a dozen other tactical RPGs

Postem lads!Doesn't have to be the hottest, although she can be, as long as you'd wife her.NO MODS you cunts, this is a gentlemen's thread
>>3695073smart thinking. don't forget to install as many scatplay odds as possible so you can play Oblivion at the maximum immersion settings
>>3695073>scatplay oddsscatplay MODS I mean to say

It's Monday once again. Time to talk about monster collecting and raising games. What mon games have you been playing? What upcoming mon games are you looking forward to?

RPGs where you're encouraged to make stupidly broken godlike characters?
>>3697559NTA but you’re really outing yourself as a zoomer here. Before dialogue trees CRPGs used keyword systems or didn’t have any dialogue choices at all.
>>3697563>keyword systemstext parsers is what we called them. he might not be a zoomer, millennials are p. clueless too.
>>3697807>text parsersMakes me think of old DOS text adventure games.>t. elder millennial
>>3697828IF games, yep.
"DoomRL", (a roguelike with Doom sprites) is the last one I played that made me feel really powerful once my build came together. It has a cool fractional time system (with fast actions you get several turns in a row, with slow actions monsters get several turns instead) and a neat character building system. Shotgunner build with an infinite ammo auto-shotgun was the most broken. Pistol-sniper specialist with explosive rounds was also great - could sense enemies through walls and also blow up said walls. Tearing through the entire map like that felt great. You'll die a lot on early levels though.
>crazy huge dragon appears right at the end of the game>you don't get to actually fight itwtf I'm seething right nowthis game doesn't even have a final boss
what gane
>>3697968Dragon's Dogma 2
>>3697971Have these faggots removed Denuvo so that I can buy it now? I’m still waiting. I see them putting it on deep discount and I’m like nope not yet, you know my price.
What are your top three JRPGs of all time?I'd say:1. Chrono Trigger2. Persona 22. Tales of Symphonia
>Tales of the Abyss>Final Fantasy VII>Dragon Quest VIII
>>3696202Tell me you're 10 years old without telling me you're 10 years old.
>>3696381I'm 35 actually.
>>3694506Right now these are what I would like to replay1. Final Fantasy X2. Final Fantasy VII3. Tales of AriseThey also have my favorite OSTs
>>3694506I have never met someone with decent taste in games that likes tales
is Square Enix solely to blame for how terrible this game is doing? why do indiies even bother with meme publishers at all
>>3690353as a tranny i find any catering to lgbt to be a red flag
Congratulations on poisoning another well.
>>3696171All the cute girls were in already used up in pocket mirror. The LGTS girls can't compare to the classic rozenmaiden OCs
It's a western RPGmaker game that advertised itself as a yuri-dating sim. Western lesbians generally despise the yuri aesthetic and there's no H-scenes so yuri fans aren't going to bother.Pocket Mirror was already a polished turd, atrocious writing but good visuals which is why it got any recognition in the first place. Also Manlybadasshero didn't play it so it might as well not exist.
>>3698012imo there's still a place for no plot all vibes stories within the RPGM sphere, especially one as nice to look at as Pocket Mirror, which might as well just be a rozen maiden fangame. I think it kinda sucks how shittily LGTS is doing because was a enjoyable experience
Is it only my impression that most of jRPGs are just bait for sex pest quasi-peadophiles? The appeal here is very specific, in wRPGs is just every kids dream to be basass knight thay fucks shit up. Not being gay underage boy with kindergarden mage companion in quest of shitty romance drama
>>3693619I don't remember Mass Effect having anime girls in it, let alone loli.Also I'm pretty sure it was generally well received despite that.
And that's a good thing.
>>3694660>I don't remember Mass Effect having anime girls in it, Disingenuous >let alone loli.Not a loli but Tali is an imouto type.

Hardest JRPG ever?
I might have just gotten filtered though. I never played other SaGa games yet either.
Digital Devil Saga is just a harder version of this game
>>3696659This game felt a lot easier on my second playthrough in the HD remasterThe dungeons were still kinda cancerous though
>>3696659>Hardest JRPG ever?Not even close.
>>3697465There isn't a single SaGa games that requires thinking.
>Some autismo literally makes a superior rpg maker using a game engine (godot) than enterbrain
sending positive vibes to the threadwe will make it in 2025this is the year
___ I___\__[^_^] ./I\. ../\..
>>3689949Yeah i can feel it too.This year will be a great year way better than 2024.
potential titles for game im thinking about currentlyConstant BloomEternal FlowerInfinite Blossomits going to be a fantasy rpg with a magic system inspired by flowers
>>3696226Another potential idea(inspired by light novels)Reincarnated In Another World As The Greatest Botanist : All Problems In The World Can Be Fixed With A Good Bouquet
why did they stop making first person dungeon crawlers?
>>3697903Nice, anon! Keep working on it, I'd love to try a demo some day. >at least a half dozen different dungeon formats,This is the key. Make the dungeons interesting, varied, unique, with careful gameplay loops within the dungeon (and not just the world), and dungeon delvers will flock to play them. Man, I miss Arx.
>>3697904Thanks, I appreciate the good vibes. Some pre-alpha combat, once again before the ui overhaul.And I agree about the dungeon flavor. Etrian is one of my favorites and I enjoyed how each dungeon strata was unique and had it's own gimmick. Also one of the reasons I'm putting roaming mini-bosses in the labyrinths.
>>3695688If you're earnestly looking for a few, Experience makes servicable ones.Mon-yu (very long name)UndernautsStranger of sword cityDemon GazeLabyrinth of GalleriaMary SkelterAnd the GOAT: Etrian OdysseyMost released in the past few years, but it IS slim pickings.
>>3697889Yes. I am always astounded by the amount of dick riding a crap looking game gets from zoomers just because the dev chose to make it that fucking horrible for "artistic" reasons.
>>3697100It's pretty good until you hit the grind wall (after first dungeon) then you have yo be careful.
Any more (c)rpgs that let me auto and spam skills on cooldown?
