Breath of Fire 3/4
Digimon World 2003 if you like digimon.
Friday night JRPG thread. What jrpgs are you currently playing? If you're not playing anything currently...

I actually love the weird Digi-mythos mixing with real-world occult mythos (look at these friggin' names lmao). I would be very excited for a proper PS4 Digimon game. I also thought the music was good, done by the guy who did Devil Summoner I think?
I want to play through again, but I think I'd rather get the newer one. Is Hacker's Memory a sequel or a remake? Anyone played it?
I love Sylvando. He's flamboyant, but you don't mind because he actually cares about the party and his character is deeper than the Bioware teehee-I'm-gay obnoxious stereotype. He's also very useful in battle if you pump his charm imo.

>I also thought the music was good, done by the guy who did Devil Summoner I think?
the character designs were by the guy from devil survivor, if that's what you're thinking of. the composer worked on danganronpa, god hand, and every smash game since brawl.
Ryan James
Exactly. His nature isn't the crux of his character and it's refreshing. What is the "Charm" stat, by the way? I've been raising it but I'm not sure what it actually does. From what the game tells you it increases the odds of an enemy NOT attacking the character...?

oops, forgot this part:
>Is Hacker's Memory a sequel or a remake? Anyone played it?
hacker's memory is a midquel. it's a side story that takes place during the events of cyber sleuth's story. it also adds more digimon to the roster, a few new locations, and new features like domination battles, territory battles, and popularity events.

I haven't played XI yet but if it works like past entries you can basically get a freebie in the form of a dazed enemy. VIII for instance, enemies would suddenly become enamored by Jessica and would skip a turn. I think it could work with Angelo too.
Samuel Mitchell
Oh shit, that's it. Always get Devil Summoner and Devil Survivor mixed up. New Raidou when.
Oh sweet, I'll definitely pick it up then. One thing I'd like Digimon to do (that SMT and Persona does) is let you evolve what should be low-level creatures into mega-ultra-gods. Y'know like how some guys grinded Arsene to level 99 and made him amazing, just because of the design? I'd like to be able to do that.
>Charm
I'm only just in Act II so maybe someone else can chime in, but Sylv and Jade both have a Charm tree that's kinda like their version of magic. Slyvando has one where he blows kisses at the enemy, you can level it up to hit all enemies while upping his Charm stat at the same time. You can build your characters whoever you want remember, but I found his Charm skills more useful than Jades.
Isaiah Morales
Huh. That sounds damn useful. I haven't had that happen before but I have seen enemies "asses the situation." and not attack. Is this a usual Dragon Quest thing?
Ian Martinez
It doesn't happen that often. Its more of a bonus on top of the attacks they have that do cause some kind of status effect. Dragon Quest tends to be filled with a lot of little touches that really lends to the series charm.
Adam Wright
It is rather charming. It's funny because when I first saw DQ in action I thought it was straight up goofy as hell and had no interest. Then DQXI came out, I watched a bit of an LP and gradually my mind changed and I ended up getting for myself. My first DQ game.
