The DS was kind of an awkward era for RPG franchise revivals, wasn't it?
>>3615316If by awkward you mean a FUCKING DUMPSTER FIRE!!
>>3615317Come on, anon, you already know nds has 345 jrpgs, you just posted the worse one, now post at least 45 good jrpgs from NDS.
>>3615316youmeanyoudidntlikethewaycharacterstalkreallyreallyfast?
>>3615317>Lunar SongThat game was ASS. One of the worst commercially released JRPG ever made. Who i the fuck decided running should drain your HP?
>>3615316I really liked it actually. But I played it in Japanese. My biggest issue with the game was how little freedom it gave you with your party composition. What's the point of having so many recruitables if you can barely use more than the two dozen guys relevant to the main quest.
>>3615711they forgot convoy was a thing in suikoden games
More like 3ds era
>>3615316That's because developing sequels to relatively niche JRPGs became too expensive with HD consoles, so publishers started putting out spin-offs or weird low budget sequels on DS or PSP.
>>3615316the ds had so many great games. i miss that era.
>>3615316I think the DS is actually my fav jrpg library aside from ps1.
>>3615316>Got to see Mana burn alive>Got to see Lufia burn aliveI liked Suikoden Tierkreis>got to see Azure Dreams somehow burn aliveIt had a bunch of bangers. Games I'd have never touched but did for convenience of location during my job, like Luminous Arc 2, ended up charming meBut holy hot damn there was a good chance if I recognized the franchise it was a coinflip of it not burning alive.

>>3615799Honestly portables saved the genre during the 7th gen. People might not remember anymore but there were real slim pickings on PS3 and 360. Let alone Wii.
>>3616408>Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled (ATB)great game but I'll never understand how something so technically bad was ever released. how often do you hear stories about games freezing or crashing on nintendo ds?
>>3616408>Golden Sun: Dark DawnOh, hey, another one that killed its franchise while being an attempt at revival.
>>3616413I found Dark Sun to be greatly overblown. It's not a bad game.
>>3616129Mana was already burn alive with Dawn. Children and Heroes were the franchise corpse until Okayama take the reigns.Like how Tales was fucked after Zestiria
>>3616411Is it that bad? I randomly found my DS a few weeks back and threw it on there. The most controversial anything I found about it, mainly through rom comments, was the egregious encounter rate.
>>3615705It's actually strange how the beginning of the game has Sieg motormouthing all his lines, but later on he starts talking normal and stays like that. Did they underestimate how much space they had for his lines?>>3616129I like Tierkreis for what it is and how much voiced lines and cutscenes it has, but you can tell they were straining when designing the combat system. If only it were on slightly better hardware that could could comfortably fit 6 character battles with better models and more enemy types that don't attack with generic sound waves.
>>3616408Some of those games are good.
>>3616411This steaming shitpile is honestly just the same garbage we get nowadays in the form of Crystal Project and Chained Echoes. Only difference is that getting a DS devkit back then actually had some requirements. The overall quality is about the same.
>>3616759>This steaming shitpile is honestly just the same garbage we get nowadays in the form of Crystal Project and Chained Echoes.Always an edgy boy.
>>3616786Fuckin' dumbassIt's literally on the exact same level.The same terrible ESL ass mistakes with no apparent QA, the same dreadful artstyle that the Sea-Of-Stars crowd never seemed to grow out of slopping around. Add to it the heavy handed muh racism message and terrible anachronistic dialogue that stands pale even against Working Designs shit from the decade prior and you've got a solid 5/10 game that actually makes Nostalgia (the shitty Skies of Arcadia DS knockoff) seem fun to play in comparison.
>>3616408>Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen>Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies>Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker>Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride>Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelationwere there really that many dragon quest games on the ds? jesus.

>>3616789Nostalgia wasn't related to Skies of Arcadia, unless you're claiming that the latter invented airships.
>>3615707>Who tf decided running should drain your HP?*Miyazaki nervously chuckles in the corner before adding another poison swamp into his game*
>>3616410>Let alone WiiImagine disrespecting Kinoblade Chronicles like that, my guy.
>>3617375Show me the part of the post where I said it was related. All I said is, it was a knockoff. And for all intents, it was, and a crappy one. Not quite as bug-laden as Black Sigil, but definitely had one game breaking one that the game became known for.
>>3617438Those mistakes seem fairly inconsequential, to be honest.
>>3617420Xenoblade is fucking trash with MMO tier garbage combat. Characters and plot are slop. Cool environments though!
>>3616411the encounter rate was BONKERS honestly the only thing this game had going for it was the hipster name and pretty graphics at the time
>>3617906the game only becomes playable with the encounter rate+2x experience patch. even then it's still a bit of a slog.
>>3617420>ked it actually. But I played itIt is one game, not enough to redeem the Wii, and it is not holistically good. Story is good up until Prison Island and then becomes "we must kill god with the power of friendship" shit. Combat is mediocre. Sidequests are awful. The Bionis environments look great, shame how the Mechonis got shafted. There are some good tracks but several stinkers too. Above average English dub.
>>3616408I can't grasp the meaning of this list, there is shit game mixed with good ones. You randomly picked the games?
>>3618204I think he's just listing the RPGs on the DS, anon.
>>3616494Oh good lord I forgot about Dawn.Has Tales not actually recovered yet? What a shame.
>>3615789>>3615789>Etrian Odyssey 4, 5, Nexus, untold 1 and 2. >All those fire emblems >Shin megami tensei strange journey redux > Bravely Default >Dragon quest 7 remake >Radiant historia perfect chronology Nigger what the FUCK are you talking about?
>>3617312>Custom Robo ArenaI loves this game back in the day is Playable in Emulator? or needs to much Touchscreen? I can't remember another use besides cleaning the mecha but my memory is shit
