Why aren't you playing a JRPG right now?

because they're shit. at least modern ones. cringe dialouge and cringe characters made for derpy manchildren who collect '''figurines'''

>Shitty story
they're better than western games' stories, which typically amount to "orange man bad, it was her turn."
>turn based combat
jrpgs with action-based combat exist.
>grind
if you have to grind in a modern jrpg, you just suck at games.

Reflect on what it means to turn against me as you stare into the cold abyss of death!

Too busy fapping.

But I am. Death End re;Quest. I dig it. The girls are cute, too.

Over the years I grown burned out with JRPGs nothing seems to give me that spark anymore.

how far into the game are you? i just finished chapter 6 and it's a lot of fun.

Because most JRPGs are full of anime tropes and I don't like anime. The Souls series, Vagrant Story, games with adult characters are the only ones I can enjoy.

I'm sorry Dagda I just like being nice

why are you on an anime website if you hate anime? maybe plebbit is more your speed.

Why is God so unfair?

You mean why Toriyama's artstyle is so shit.

it's actually really good. the story seems at first like another one of those generic "isekai'd into an mmorpg" stories that modern anime loves so much, but they put a unique spin on it that prevents it from feeling stale.
the combat system is legitimately one of the most fun i've played in a turn-based jrpg. it combines neptunia's free movement and mary skelter's corruption with a whole bunch of other features, like a billiards-esque knockback system, genre switching (you can change from regular jrpg combat to a fighting game, puzzle game, fps, etc. mid-fight), etc.
fair warning, though - this game is heavy on the virtual novel elements. there's a lot of text. however, they do allow you to save at any point in most cutscenes and come back where you left off. this is important because the vn parts often have choices that either progress the story or lead to a bad ending. the game actually rewards you with items/money for seeing bad endings, so you're going to want to try every choice.
idea factory and compile heart don't have the greatest reputation, but credit where credit's due, they made a good game here.

Sounds really janky and awful.

I put this down for a few months near the end of the game and I'm afraid to pick it back up. I have no idea what I was doing.

Noted. Thanks for the input, user. I'll keep an eye on it for now.

Give me a jrpg with some light dating sim shit thrown in like persona and cold steel and I will

Funny you post this, I'm playing Hollow Realization now. I like the actual game part of it so far even if all the systems are a little overwhelming at first but everything surrounding it is kind of lame. I really like SAO's character design but every time they open their mouths I want to die.

I don't like games that don't revolve around me shitting on scrubs

I'm not a massive faggot.

But that's the hot part

I'm playing Etrian Odyssey V now, but I keep forgetting to buy Ariadne Threads and then dying and being set back by hours. I also have a really bad team composition and it's becoming more and more of a problem. It's still fun though.

But I am playing Lost Odyssey.

I love Bonerbackpat.

I'm playing Resident Evil 1 (WOW, WHAT A MANSION) and after that I'm probably going to start Silent Hill.

I always bring two threads in case I forget to buy one when I leave town. Then, next time I use one I see that I only have one, and I immediately go and buy one after I get sent to town.

Protip: buy more than 1 thread at a time. I usually buy them in packs of 5. Once you start getting low, buy more.

I do do that but then I run out without realizing I've run out and go out and die.

Fairy Fencer F ADF
Dark Rose Valkyrie
Conception II

Keep in mind that while the first one is solid, the other two are kusoge (at least when it comes to gameplay, the girls and art is nice).

I'm waiting for the next big one to appear something original for once. After KH3 came out all the old games that people were waiting decades for a sequel have finally all happened. Do you guys think that project Re: Fantasy will be any good.

I'll add Agarest Mariage there, as I am playing it right now.
If you want something better then go play Growlanser or Langrisser IV in PS1.

i didn't imply that at all. all i said is that there are action-based jrpgs too if you don't like turn-based.
>implying there is mandatory grinding in any JRPG made after 1988
like i said, if you feel the need to grind in any modern jrpg, you suck at games. grinding stopped being a valid complaint years and years ago.

games like divine divinity are bad rpgs.

I am, recently finished Tales of Berseria and started Ni No Kuni 2 because i wanted a more light hearted experience but im 40 hours in and goddamn i've only seen like 10 enemy types and everything else are reskins of such monsters, it's also either stupidly easy or "lol 1 shot" fights, last but not least i've been really REALLY thorough with the Kingdom management and i still need to build like 20 more buildings and THEN upgrade them, i don't even think i'll need them, haven't upgraded any spells and most of my equipment came from enemy drops. Only the General store was worthy and i used it to buy hundreds of healing items.

It'd be fun. I want to freely build the character I want and then explore an immersive anime-style world from a first person or close 3rd person perspective.

I choose to believe that the XSEED talent moving over to NISA for the time being to help guard the sanctity of CS3 will guarantee its quality.

How many boards are “anime”?

Yea, Persona and kingdom hearts. Also Pokémon mystery dungeon technically

Because I don't like haremshit with some faggy MC.

4 and apocalypse are the only ones I’ve beaten. I couldn’t get into strange journey for some reason I think it’s mainly because I wasn’t feeling great when I tried it, I’ll have to give it another go

Not every jrpg is hard shit. New Drsgon Quest Mc marries his home town girl instead of hareming the female cast. Kingdom hearts doesn’t do the harem trope. Persona technically doesn’t you pick one. And all the final fantasy games are lacking in harems

Because the only real challenge left is getting as much 100% at compendium and it's a fucking 2hu kindergarten.

Yeah, god help people air grievances over an arc gone wrong just cause a bunch of casual fans who didn't hold a vested interest in the series story enjoyed it on a surface level. Falcom sold out to a bunch of Vita teenagers and the stories and characters in Trails suffered as a result.

Took a chance with this one and I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying it. Between this and Mary Skelter I either came in during CH's upswing or I kept my expectations so low due to what I've heard about them that I just got lucky.

Now please port Mary Skelter 2 to the Switch since we already know Snoy broke the PS4 ver.

So have you ever actually played a jrpg? Name one game where being 10/15 levels under where you're supposed to be because you didn't grind at all isn't a disavantage and almost instant death.

Alright
You roam the land accompanied by two other cute girls. It has many quaint qualities in art style and so on, but the 2d action is excellent too. The battles are challenging and fast-paced. AIs are quick to overpower you with guard breaks and do their best to avoid your ranged attacks/magic. Once you get better, you can do some really sick combos, and having a high hit count increases the damage on any further hits which is awesome.

and also because i like stuff like enchanting, spellmaking, gambling, alchemy and other side stuff that makes my future grind easier and more fun. Don't know any JRPGs that have that, but i've only played JRPGs up to the 7th gen so i might be wrong.

If you need to grind in modern JRPGs you're doing something wrong with your combat strategy.

>But that's 100% false, buddy.
funny joke.
>Very little, and none of the "Good" ones use action-based.
kingdom hearts, monster hunter, tales, crystal chronicles, ys, seiken densetsu, etc. beg to differ.
>So have you ever actually played a jrpg?
have you? outside of niche series like disgaea that are specifically built around grinding, most jrpgs haven't gone out of their way to force you to grind in ages. as long as you don't try to rush through the game by running away from every encounter, you should be fine.
