I think they're neat
>>4033752God I played this like 20+ years ago, glad to see other people are playing it. If you like it and know Japanese, Mercurius Pretty is worth checking out too.
>>4033752I'll try it, looks interesting
My one and only experience I played years ago didn't leave the best impression. Felt like a CYOA with the plot removed and a shitton of skill checks that often had no real time for preparation (aside from when you replay the game)But I do play a ton of worker placement board games so the idea does interest me
>>4033728AFAIK the PM games just got worse after PM2. PM3 onwards really leans on the "sim" parts. very restricted kinda gameplay. like tamagotchi but with a little grill. less stuff to do then PM1 and 2.nice art work though.
>>4038771I thought pm5 was neat for what it was but your not wrong.
For me it's Shana.
>>4032860... I CAN'T UNSEE IT...!!!
>>4031490For me it's LennusOr Miranda
>>4032519>takes 20 seconds to transform>do one weak attack>takes 20 seconds to transform backI HATED the dragoon forms.
>>4031490For me it's Lavitz.
Rose made me realize I was into femdom, but a 12-year-old-boy's hormone-flooded brain has no natural defense against this outfit, so its Meru for me
New cogslop just dropped.
>>4046694Anon didn't you read the thread? You're not supposed to want to play games, you're supposed to move on
>>4046746
>>4046771I want to fuck xer asshole
>>4046355>Prince raising game or even a Demon Lordfor the demon lord one there's DRAPLINE but it's more a dragon girl fated to be evil so close enough, for the prince one's since it crosses over to being a self insert and there are a lot of chink/wuxia games that incorporate a raising sim style of gameplay but it's more for yourself.
>>4046355Male raising sims is usually self-inserty with the player playing as the kid instead of the parents. It's basically due to this >>4046368 being how raising a boy actually looks like in most case lmao.
A new English patch just dropped. Worth playing? I thought I knew every Genesis RPG, but I had no idea Surging Aura existed.
>>4030233It's always funny seeing people just say this with no proof, especially since it's bullshit
>>4031805I was not including SRPGs under the moniker of JRPG and I wasnt including CD games, sorry that was not clear. Double the previous 8 value if you want to talk CD games too. I personally dont know the SRPG addition. Also Cosmic Fantasy is a port, Legend of Wukong is Taiwanese and Pier Solar is certainly not Japanese.
>>4034259jrpg is a style, just like architecture terms.it basically means dragon quest inspired titles.
>>4029927text line breaking is rarely a good sign
>>4034259taiwan games are very japanese. and that is ok
I'm new to this genre, what RPG has the best story in the genre in your opinion and why?
>>4020748go to RPGcodex and RPGhq.
>>4030869lmao
>>4030869go back there
>>4023247This is true of Dostoevsky.
>>4021010The last time teenagers tried to be genuine they got mocked endlessly and made fun of, kill yourself faggot millennials
Who remembers Runescape in 2005? Been playing 05x. It's like Lost City but everything is 2005 (349 revision)Game is absolutely a throwback and fun as fuck.
>>4013776I never heard of this game back in the day. Didn't even know it was a thing until like 2015 or something. I was playing far superior games, like Everquest and Dark Age of Camelot. This is actually just a poorfag mmo for kids and losers that didn't have money to buy a real PC. Tried playing that "new version" with the better visuals at one time, but what can you expect from an "updated" dogshit browser game?
>>4031507what can you expect if i put a cactus up your ass and kill you faggot
>>4031684chill out anon, i know my hotshit opinion is in the minority considering how large Runescape actually is, and it still blows my mind that I hadn't even heard of it until well after its lifespan. guess i wouldn't because, ya know, i was playing better games, but still, im surprised people even want to play it today and im certain its mostly nostalgia. and that's fine, really.
>>4013776i played Tibia and Maple Story.... very causally
>>4031507It's basically like you said, it was free and a lot of kids in 2003 didn't have the money/interest in games like Everquest or Ultima Online. There were a bunch of shitty F2P MMOs in those days, and Runescape was the one that caught on. Then WoW and Guild Wars came out and people finally realized how barebones F2P Runescape was
Now that the dust has settled, what is the definitive ARPG? What is the latest and greatest evolution? It can't still be Diablo 2, right?
>>4012724it's actually worse than Diablo 3, it's impressive really
Dungeon Siege is the shit, it's not perfect I guess. When Microsoft shut down multiplayer it was a sad day for everyone on it, what a fucking waste. The second is cool but it doesn't have the goo of the first one. I wish they do a remake of both, and fix everything.
>>4022830Fucking degenerate think a game is all about what the herd think of it over the years. Biggest nigger cattle in the thread.
>>4022830What a retard loser. Hope you're ashamed to have written this.
>>4038530Hope you're ashamed to keep bumping this thread.
Rebooblican edition.About to start Disgaea 2 for the 3rd time, hoping I have enough patience to get through the entire postgame this time instead of dropping it right after the story mode. Fuck pirates, fuck felonies, fuck cellphones, fuck dark world stage unlock conditions , etc.
>>4030923I recommend 2 because it's the only one with unique skills not being learnable by everyone else.You can pick the Archer for the extra bow range or the samurai because it has the best attack, or the ghost because it regenerates MP.It's also easier to grind for the main plot.The main trio appears in the first four games and started being DLC with 5.
So Disgaea 7 in japan got the updates that are in our "complete" Switch 2 version in all of their versions, right?Also, how playable is it on Switch 1? Wait-there's a demo, so I can just see for myself
It's only a one-off gag in Etna Mode, but dead-eyed evil Flonne is kind of doing something for me
>>4025226half my army just uses guns (including Marona)
Her name was George FlonneRest in Power*kneels and raises fist*
It's KINO. What are the best spell techs to use? Currently working on getting a Diviner.
>>4034566damn Kalas looks different for some reason
>>4035200Revenge of the Seven
>>4035219Just made a few adjustments...
>>4036716thanks
>>4037016you took off his hat?
I liked it and I want more of it.
>>40207331.13 also adds in a bunch of mercs from both JA1 and WF.
>>4017302No! 1.13 only for ladida book reading people! Must need to adjust too many of setting option or otherwise game bad, very bad!
>>4036969>Must need to adjust too many of setting option or otherwise game bad, very bad!Unironically this. I thought 1.13 was cool like 15 years ago, but when I tried to play it recently, what I really wanted was a mostly-vanilla experience with some small tweaks and features. Unfortunately, 1.13’s “mostly vanilla” preset still changes too much shit for my liking (often arbitrarily and incomprehensibly), and it just wasn’t what I wanted.
>>4017091the shitty humor ruined entire game for me
>>4017329ngl I'd rather have a trigger warning and then the game actually does and says what it wants, than a world where games just don't want to touch shit that's "problematic" at all out of fear of offending.When Persona 3 was getting a remake everyone was screaming about how they'd change this and that. They didn't, they put a trigger warning at the start, didn't apologize at all with "it reflected a different time" like the Yakuza 3 remaster did, and left the script untouched.
So when in 2027 are we getting Chapter 6? Will it release in the first few months or will we have to wait until Q2 just like 5?
>>4038710AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHAT THE FUCK!
>deleted at the last minutekek. Never change janitor
>>4044893>>4044893>Where was your seethe when you were FORCED to defeat K. Round with mercy in chapter 1?nta but, immediate and still presenti hate that faggot trio more than anything in deltarune. they speak like niggers, their music is bad, their dialogue goes on forever and reveals nothing and they put you through a forced cutscene. toby could forget to put them in the rest of deltarune and i would consider it a great improvement.
>>4046988meant to highlight sweet cap'n cakes, my mistakek round was fine and served a purpose in the story progression, somewhat the same with rouxls kard. the retard robot trio adds fucking nothing other than 3 cancer blobs in your castle town. really hoping noelle spergs and murders all of them in chapter 6.
>>4044893>Where was your seethe when you were FORCED to defeat K. Round with mercy in chapter 1?>Where was your seethe when you were FORCED to defeat Sweet Cap'n Cakes with mercy in chapter 2?Didn't like that in either of them but they're both minor fights and served a decent narrative purpose.>Where was your seethe when you were FORCED to defeat Rouxls with mercy in chapter 3?Completely justified by the story and also a clever meta shenanigan thing, but isn't my favorite fight with him.Almost all flowers being mercy only feels way too railroaded. Susie vs Lancer in chapter 1 accommodated both options easily within the main plot without derailing the linear narrative it had.
If I had the money and skill (but mostly the money) I'd make Aidyn Chronciles but competent.A game where you can train characters however you like (with specific exceptions) is pretty based.
>>4027524I don't think it's indieslop to want to make a bad game with good bones into a good game with good bones,
>>4027503
>>4027556The best mistake we've made so far.
>>4027553Anon don't post images that give me boners please
>>4032077If I don't know what gives you boners, how can I avoid posting things that make you horny?
One of the few vidya I played where I felt like a bonafide villain.
>>4035136No, it can be called many things. Including: an accident. For the purpose of entertainment, the consequences of the player's actions are meant to be a surprise. You didn't choose to sacrifice a girl. Your choices were: >Go Left (turn to page: 104)>Go Right (turn to page: 200)>Piss your pants (Turn to page 28)Choosing to be evil is like choosing to be "gay" in a Dragon Age game. You say "Hi". And now you're locked in on the sodomy route. And that innocent girl? She kills herself, because you've crushed her romantic dreams of being courted by you. Don't you feel horrible? No? You always take that route, do you? By thinking in absolutes - every choice connected to this outcome must be evil. Save the world? Evil. Cure the plague? Evil. Conditions for unlocking the "True" Ending? Evil.
>>4035136>Moloch worshiper discovers moral relativism
>>4035136There are no innocents not anymore
>>4036707>Ummm ackhsually you can't call me evil for this because you can't provide a definition of evil that applies to every moral framework!Online debates were a mistake.
>c in CRPG means Computer, not ClassicalWhat the fuck?
>>4012190it means capanese role playing game
>>4012190>some shit that retarded hipster millennials made up takes 57 posts of argument to refute because they are absolute moronsShut the fuck up and figure out your sex already before you finish burning down every institution with DEI and grifted "socialist" policies.The government is never going to give you healthcare or a house, they will just continue awarding themselves, their family and friends money until some technologist (guys you hate like Musk and Bezos) makes things cheap enough to where you can drink from a public puddle or eat tree leaves metaphorically speaking. The amount of people's labor to be extracted for your comfort is finite and the people have had enough. Only machines will produce enough to keep you comfortable without work.Until then you're welcome to escape to our hobbies, as you always have been, as they are collections of outcasts in the first place, but trying to remake them according to your microplastic suffused estrogenated wisps of sissy DEI brains has been nothing but a blight on the entire genre. Return to the back of the bus, your opinions are never wanted or interesting, much less needed.>t. GenX
>>4016167It literally was the ff7 coming to pc that people started using jrpg and wrpg.
>>4012190>using AIkys
>>4028587>It literally was the ff7 coming to pc that people started using jrpg and wrpg. And it was the influx of action(y) games with RPG mechanics, from the mid-late-00s, which switched the 'c' from 'computer' to 'classical' (denoting a mechanics-heavy, often party-based, mouse-driven interface).
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?
>>4023109Modders ported everything into the PSX version, so no real need to play the PSP one anymore unless you want the multiplayer.
>>4035457>multiplayerthey should have patched out the level trap cheese>just a game of checkers between the no-lifest mfs ever and woe unto you if you want to have fun
>>4034496Alma's there, too.
>>4034496Just save-hacking and FFTPatcher.I modified the save state (using a custom python script) to change party members.FFTPatcher modifies the rom to actually give Simon class abilities and traits.That video doesn't have updated text (hence the blank name for his skillset). There's a separate utility for that (FFTacText). I think I screwed up something with text that causes lock ups sometimes during combat animations.
>>4036635FFTacText in general is finicky
