Any good RPGs with "stranger in a strange land" type of plot setups? The best example I can think of is Final Fantasy X
>>3915682>"stranger in a strange land"@Grok, is this real?
>>3915682Looks like https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FishOutOfWater has surprisingly few examples under Video games.Unless they're all hidden under specific subcategories because the people who edit are autistic retards who don't care about how useful the website is for actually browsing.It's tedious, but you could go through these and check video games under each of them to maybe find some rpgs like it.
>>3915689Thanks for the list, but I started eating spoilers so I'll just have to sit and wait here to see if anyone offers some titles
Literally all of them
>>3915682Morowind has what you crave.
>>3915699I figured that would be the case too but honestly there aren't that many. I don't just mean the world being new and exciting for the player, I want it to be completely alien to the protagonist as well
>>3915682Fallout 1 and 3
>>3915682It's a babbygaem but Ni No Kuni fits that pretty well. You could say the protagonist gets SPIRITED AWAY to an utterly foreign land. Get it?But also:>Planescape: Torment>Dread Delusion>Chrono Trigger>Xenogears
>>3915682FFTA
NWN2: Mask of the Betrayer. Fits quite well since you're constantly relocating into strange places, so you never even begin to cease to be a foreigner.

Dragon Quest Monsters
>>3915682>FFX is stranger in strange land, but not good.>>3915914>FFTAis stranger in strange land, but not good.>Actually fits criteria?Crystalis, FF1, Shining Force 1, and FFIX.
>>3918808FFTA was great though. It's an objective fact.
>>3918808>FFIXare you stupid?
>>3918808dumbass
>>3915682>stranger in a strange landTurgor/Tension/The VoidAlbion (DOS)AlundraMother 3 (Porky is "the strange man", you play as his "victim", having to experience his influence on the world)The first Utawarerumono fits as well.
>>3918810I tried it recently but I didn't finish it. The combat is too simple to really offer much fun. You walk to the side/back of the nearest enemy and use your attack or use a ranged skill from where you stand. Team composition, unit positioning, attack types etc. felt like they made little difference so it was all automatic without much thought.It was also extremely slow. I played on an emulator so I could fast forward during enemy and ref movement but if I had played it on a GBA I would have gone crazy. I've played plenty of GBA games and none other have been this slow so it's not the hardware's fault.
The first three star ocean games is literally "stranger in a strange land - the game". but they are heavy sci fi so they may not be your type.E33 does this trope really well overall
>>3915682Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
>>3915682oh it's the DQ3 world map
>>3915715I see you are a mer of culture as well.
>>3915682NOX
>>3918810>FFTA was great thoughWrong because of the central game mechanic
>>3921190>E33 does this trope really well overallnot really, everyone is a native of the painted world outside of the badguys and one party member who doesn't know it until the stupid shit in Act 3 happens
>>3915682Albionhttps://www.gog.com/en/game/albion
>>3915682
I don't consider Zelda an RPG, but for those that do, Majora's Mask is exactly that.
>>3915682morrowind maybe?
>>3915682Dark Seed if you think about it.
>>3922921more of an rpg than disco elysium and witcher fore sure
>>3915682xpiratez (more vst but plenty of rp)FFTAGeneforge 1
>>3925823geneforge my nigger
>>3915898You still have the classic plotline of the hero being some villager to sets out on a journey to save the world. This guy has never seen anything outside his village, so the world is pretty alien to him. Or does that still not count?
