Aside from SMT/Persona how many RPG games take place in a modern setting?
>>39423386 Exactly 6Fuck you faggot this isn’t a thread it’s a five second google search you were too lazy to tab over toKill yourself
>>3942354im trans and black btw forgot to mention
>>3942338Yakuza
>>3942338There are tons.>Yakuza/Like A Dragon series>Tokyo Xanadu (+upcoming Kyoto Xanadu)>The World Ends With You (OG + NEO)>Blue Reflection 1/2>Caligula Effect 1/2>Monark>Reynatis>Varlet>Eternights>Mato Anomalies>Dusk Diver 1/2>Loop8: Summer of Gods>Akiba's Trip series>Mind ZeroI'm sure I'm still forgetting some, but these are all on Steam except for OG TWEWY which has a Switch remaster you can easily emulate.
>>3942389If future counts, then SMT:V
>>3942354The point is to discuss them, its a conversation starter, retard.
>>3942338Too few, and mainly chink games
>>3942338Final Fantasy 15 is a interesting take on this since it takes place in 21st century equivalent of a fantasy world.
>>3942338I am actually on a similar search but for wrpgs and im quite sure its literally just vmtb and xenus boiling point. Gonna add smt and persona to that list but ive never played them
>>3942455SMT are post-apo stories. Its spin offs like Devil Summoners and Personas do count.
Cheeky but also kind of serious question. Would Earthbound still be considered a modern setting? Or are the halcyon days of the 80's where it's set as lost to time as any medieval era rpg?
Troubleshooter
>>3942482Mother/Earthbound has too many fantasy elements, so it feels like a fantasy setting first and foremost, I would say.
>>3942451shame it sucks and has a true ending novel
>>3942389Half of these are not RPGs though
>>3942563lol
>>3942482Personally I'd consider it a modern setting as there are cars and things. I don't think the fantastical elements take away from it.
>>3942482There's cars, modern infrastructure, the protagonist is clearly meant to be a normal looking kid from a modern time, etc so I'd say it counts more than it doesn't. It's really so all over the place that you could almost call the anachronism itself the setting rather than weigh which element is stronger, but I don't think any of this stuff is really mutually exclusive.
>>3942338Define "modern"
>>3943042I would consider a "modern" setting to be anything reminiscent of the 1980s up to current day. It's pretty vague but I'd take anything resembling current society give or take 20 years.
>>3942338Final Fantasy 7
>>3942338>role playing game games

Ghostwire:Touhouhou is sorely understood but this is what peak modern fantasy rpgs looks like.
>>3942389Thank you for the list of modern settings in RPGs.
>>3942338>just woke up >had a dream where Tony Hawk Pro Skater had released a skateboard attachment and you could roll around in the house and it would replicate the gameplay in game>and it had a collab with Atlus to make a version of Persona 5 Royal where Joker’s kickflipping and zooming around the whole game on a board and the more skills you did the more ranked up with confidants or damage to shadows you did>WOO LOOKING COOL JOKER>wake up and realize how retarded that soundsAnyway good morning everyone I can’t find that snail comic reaction image I wanted to post with that
>>3948836I ended up picking it up because you mentioned it in the thread and I just finished it. It was a pretty solid 7/10 game. The fact that you never met Ed or Dale was kind of weird, I was expecting an after credit scene of Akito teaming up with them and taking the place of KK or something..

Mega Man Star Force series.
>>3942338River City Ransom
>>3942518Yeah. Plus they are too much of cowards for letting go the usual swords and shields.
>>3942338>Aside from SMT/Persona how many RPG games take place in a modern setting?Bloodlines (VtmB)
>>3957293
>>3942456>SMT are post-apo stories.Sometimes they're "mid-apocalypse" like the first part of SMT1, or Devil Survivor 1. I'd like another game like that.
>>3948836I like this game but it's kind of "we have Okami at home"
>>3942389I actually went game by game on this list and holy shit... Aside from most of those not even being RPGs you have absolute fucking dogshit goddamn taste in video games. Fucking smash your computer and uninstall steam right now. Jesus fucking christ.

>>3965062I'm not trying to get anywhere, I was just laughing at your unhinged spergout
>>3965066you don't seem like the type to get anywhere in life, honestlyI mean, can you even make an RPG list?
>>3965074I know, right? Who would ever give a job interview or home loan to someone who can't put an RPG list you like together?
>>3965164this anon can't even get fired up when an rpg OST kicks in, cause that would require having a LIST of favorite songs
>>3965164It must've been fun trolling in a rather dead board
>>3942338You have to stretch the definition of "modern setting", but I think you want the Trails series of games.From a setting standpoint, a hundred years ago the world was in a vaguely FFT-style era of tech and politics. Then the "orbal revolution" happened and things modernized very quickly. There's electricity, cars, phones, guns, even computers and the internet.The reason I bring it up is that it feels much more modern than even literal modern settings, like Persona. The reason why is that the modern stuff is weaved throughout the entire game, it's not a separate, distinct part from the fantastical. You gain magic by slotting gems into your phone. There are sidequests about destroying monsters, but then there are ones about taking pictures for newspapers, running security on a train, locating lost tourists, testing new computers, cooking food for a restaurant, etc. etc. And the main stories are often full of very modern ideas, like trade conferences, information blackouts, political tension between NGOs, etc.To be clear there are also major, major fantastical and scifi elements, but at its core it's a modern setting and is easily the best one out there.
