Why aren't you playing a JRPG right now?

I need to finish Digimon Story Hackers Memory but I keep autistically doing every case which makes it kind of slow. They're skippable and revisitable I believe, but they have story so it's hard to convince myself to skip them.

I'm pretty close to getting that one Digimon that's just a giant fucking train. Got Lilithmon and Mastemon recently too so steamrolling everything.

Not sure what to play after this but I should probably really get round to DQ11.

Dungeon Travelers 2 because of the perfect balance between fun gameplay and fanservice.

Wasn't it pretty shit I heard even though the music is great? Give me your honest unironically opinion user.

Dungeon Travelers 2 is not a jrpg

What makes the gameplay fun?

DT2 is still my favorite one after all this time. The main story is basically a 20 hour tutorial, but everything after that (which is several times the size of the main game) is DRPG kino. Lots of stuff to play around with, like party compositions and equipment that actually affects how your characters play. The level design in the postgame is also some of the best I've seen in the genre.

Cool, is there any grinding or worthless random fights? E.g. if I spec my characters wrong how do I fix it?
And is there a major tradeoff between nice costumes and good classes? Any tips?

Replaying FF7 for the first time in 20 years. I forgot how goofy the story gets at times. It'll be interesting to see how/if SE handles things like the crossdressing bit, Hojo trying to get Red to breed Aeris, Cloud stealing Tifa's underwear in his flashback, damn near every interaction with Cait Sith, and etc for the remake, if that's even going to happen.

Just about to do THAT part too.

Well, there are a lot of repetitive random battles while doing the actual dungeon crawling that's for sure.
If you mess up customization somehow you can always revert back to specific levels (15, 30, 50, 80, etc) and re-stat. Of course gaining those levels again would be a pain... I never had to do it anyway

Is that from the artist of Utawarerumono? What game ?

There can be some grinding, but the random encounter rate isn't terrible. You can refund all of your skill points and whatnot by resetting their levels, but you aren't forced to have them go back to level 1. There's several milestone levels that you can choose to reset back to, so it doesn't take much time to have them catch back up to the rest of the party.
Costumes are mostly tied to the class.

I'd wait for DQ11S

I'm playing Akko's game though

I was at the gym this morning doing elliptical.

A combination of things. It has fairly good character customization, with a lot of different classes and party setups to try out. Random encounters are infrequent and often pose a serious threat rather than just being fodder. The dungeons are large, well-designed, and each one generally has a unique gimmick or theme. The game has a huge amount of content in general, and continues introducing new stuff even far into the post-game. It's just a really well-designed dungeon-crawler.

i cannot decide with one play first my backlog is full so instead of playing anything i shitpost on Yea Forums

Class selection is tied to characters, actually. So for example, Alicia can't become a mage, but she can access any class in the warrior class tree and freely change between them with each respec.

You should really play Ciel, I literally 100%'d Ciel and still felt confused at the plot developments in Ar nosurge for the entire first phase.

The singing and the instrumental music seem nice but this is terrible.
Same with einhander, a nice soundtrack ruined by an awful blemish. Hopefully japs have clued in and stopped doing this.

most jrpgs suck
also, I couldn't stand dt2's art or music. It really put me off the game.

The thing about video games (and jrpgs I particular) is that the actual content of games barely matters to reviewers at all. Tell people a game is good and they'll make up reasons to convince themselves it is.

I always found the caveman era to be the least interesting part of the game.
The game picks up again when you return to the medieval era to fight Magus. The region after Magus sucks, but the one after that is the highlight of the game.

Seizure made me fall backwards onto the floor, started getting up, had another seizure that made me fall forward while getting up, face hit the carpet with force and kept going forward for a second. The carpet's a little rough.

The rest of the soundtrack is not like that one song. From what I remember it's a battle theme for a fairly short part of the game.

You have epilepsy or what?
Just be glad you don't have a concussion from the fall.

Honestly just ignore them, the boosts you get from individual NPCs are very minor and the game is easy as shit anyway. I probably completely less than 10 and I was still pretty much winning all battles on autopilot for the last third of it.

Not exactly. I think myoclonus is a type of epilepsy, but I don't get lengthy seizures, just stuff that suddenly makes me jerk around like crazy for a few seconds. It gets worse if I'm stressed or haven't slept properly.

>Just be glad you don't have a concussion from the fall.
Yeah, I just barely avoided hitting my head on something on the way down. Before that, I also fell in the bathroom, where there wasn't even any carpet to protect me. I can usually keep enough control to avoid hitting my head directly on something.

That's a relief. Is there anything like it in AT2?

TWEWY’s soundtrack is honestly JSR tier just for how fucking great and varied it is. I wish more JRPGs had randomized battle themes that change for every encounter. Would make grinding a lot more fun.

Ok thanks, I’ll continue. You know I sort of dig the game, but it’s not the GOAT I was imagining. It’s a comfy storybook game in a way.

Find a better doctor, unless there was an obvious provoking factor that has since been removed you will have a VERY high risk of further seizures.

What the fuck the hips and thighs look all wrong. What an awkward drawing

>unless there was an obvious provoking factor that has since been removed
Well, as I said, it usually gets the worst when I'm stressed or haven't slept enough. It's not very predictable otherwise. Apparently a lot of people have jerks like this when they're just about to fall asleep or have just woken up, it's just that mine are more frequent.

I'd have to find another doctor in any event. The last time I saw my doctor was over five years ago, so if I tried to make another appointment with him, I'd technically be considered a new patient, and he's not accepting new patients anymore.

if you meant 5 members, there are a few late bosses that fuck you over when you have too many buffs overall, but unless you really know what you're doing you should just use a full party.

You mean Shadow Alley Disco Kata?
If you can kill the Saurus couple you're good to go for that, it's not even hard, maybe even easier than the Sauruses.
Ironically, Donald was a bigger wall than anything else in Xeno, too bad that once you figure it out nothing else in the game stands a chance, Xeno dropped the ball on too many things, what a disappointment it was.

Yeah, you're right. Thanks again for the concern, user, hope you have a good day.

>You mean Shadow Alley Disco Kata?

No. The one where you fight it at the same point of the plot but with the HP modifier that Godly difficulty gives.

It does not help that upgrading the mechanic class makes you LOSE the skill that slaps a defense down debuff on mechanical bosses.

Should I play the early metal max games? Seems like the combat is really boring and basic relative to xeno.
How about metal saga?

>No. The one where you fight it at the same point of the plot but with the HP modifier that Godly difficulty gives.
Dude, just literally spam missiles like you would on anything else.
Make a bunch of tanks with five missile pods, Sub Weapon Rush chip and go to town, or just make one tank with a three pilot seat and spam shit the same way, though it's riskier if you don't have enough firepower for a one/two turn kill, max up your Nephilim Missile Launcher and buy four Sakura launchers or whatever they're called from D'Annunzio.
>Should I play the early metal max games?
You should.
>Seems like the combat is really boring and basic relative to xeno.
Not really, the break gauge in Xeno doesn't add much and makes the game more braindead, if anything it's less mechanically complex than its predecessors given how tank building got streamlined by removing proper CPU customization and finer tuning, many status effects also got removed in Xeno.
Though the new Shoot! mode was a good addition, Xeno lacks a lot of stuff from the previous games as it was meant to be some sort of reboot meant to test the waters on where to bring the series next after 4 bombed.
Moreover, Xeno is a literal corridor, defeating the main point of the series, which is free roaming and non linear progression, Xeno doesn't even have vehicles like bikes or biotanks either.
>How about metal saga?
It's good, more or less a Metal Max: Returns on steroids, though I don't like it as much as the rest of the series.

It uses the same visual novel cutscene format of Neptunia, but the story is head shoulders and cock above the bullshit meme 4th wall breaking garbage of nep. The battle system is superior too as it has separated magic/skills, as well as a launch chase system

Genius of Sappheiros

>he doesn't know the Rance series
Go back.
Anyway, what's cool is that every party member you field represents the army of one of your factions. Every card you collect adds to this faction's strength, and the leader you field (which can be any card) adds a modifier and has specific skills. Getting cards thus always has meaning. However, the missions of the game are tracks with splits that you can't go backwards on, and the amount of missions you can do is lower than the amount of turns in a playthrough. As such, you can't grind at all and it becomes mandatory to get as many cards from each mission as you can.
Every enemy encounter has a chance to drop a card, and that chance is modified by several factors that describe how well you did in battle, and how much overkill damage you did to the enemy. In battle, the enemy weakness changes on a turn by turn basis, so every encounter becomes a puzzle of trying to inch the enemy closer and closer to death without killing them, so you can save up AP for a big elemental wombo combo on a turn that has that weakness, while also taking as little damage as possible because healing is limited.
There's a lot more stuff, but whatever it's just a porn game.

How can it be a rpg with no elements of that genre

This desu, ecchi needs to provide maximum stimulation.

You're right, stories should always be super serious and grimdark like Fairy Fencer and with no recurring character gags.

>no recurring character gags

>any good entry point?
Play Frontier or the DS remakes, they're good for beginners and don't kick your ass for making mistakes while still teaching you the core mechanics and fundamentals.
SaGa games are notorious for being a testing ground for experimental mechanics and unusual narrative choices though, so be advised, they're amazing games but it takes a particular mindset to enjoy them, most people dislike them and the later, more abstract mainline entries got a lot of flak from people for being too weird or the fact that they do not explain anything.

Avoid Unlimited or Minstrel Song as entry games because they're far too complex or weird to deal with for the average player, Frontier 2 is also kind of a dealbreaker because it was the game where they decided to focus on the narrative side more than the mechanical one while not discarding the Kawazu-ism of it all.

Also, you might have played The Last Remnant already, or maybe not, that's a SaGa game too, just under a different name due to "reasons", if you've already played that you'll also want to get back to it after a few SaGa games so you can get all the references.
>And I am willing to venture into indie territory
Unironically play the Touhou RPGs like Mystery Dungeon or Genius of Sappheiros(Mind you that this is, unsurprisingly, a SaGa-like), Elona+ is also a must.

Anyway, thanks for the thorough explanation. If I am to bite the bullet, where would I get the games? Or is it just piracy and fan translations?

Neptunia games are not rpgs

You can buy an official translation of VI from Manga Gamer's website. I haven't played it yet so I can't guarantee it's as good as Sengoku or X, but I'm assuming it's at least solid from what I've heard. Sengoku you'll either have to pirate the fantranslated version or wait for the official translation. X has no translation and will probably take years.

By Mystery dungeon do you mean genso wanderer?

And I though elona was just a weird roguelike, does it have actually good combat? Haven't really fallen for any roguelikes before so forgive me if I am a bit skeptical.

That's not going to work on higher difficulties due to the HP bloat.
The maxed Nephilim Cannon is a bit better than Dora's cannons but you still have a five shot limit, even with a triple header you have a max of 15 shots, moreover it's the only cannon muzzle outside of Dora's that lets you five 5 shots, and Dora's own muzzles weight 220 t. or so, which means you can have two of them and a nephilim cannon at best, which means a maximum of 25 shot salvos including Triple Header.
Missiles though, they're worlds apart, even with a slightly inferior raw multiplier you'll get 8 missiles instead of 5 shells, the maxed nephilim launcher has 16 iirc, and since they weight MUCH less than cannons you can easily outfit a tank with five of them and never have to deal with load issues and low armor plating.
Add triple header, SA-Rush and the mechanic skillset and you'll have an unstoppable death machine that will fire around 80 missiles per character turn.
>but maybe I'm just not looking in the right places?
Possibly, iirc Nicoblog has the patched ones.
>By Mystery dungeon do you mean genso wanderer?
Yeah.
>And I though elona was just a weird roguelike
It is, the combat is good by virtue of the extents of the system itself and the sheer amount of options you have, especially since you can also interact with the environment, like demolishing walls.
SaGa games are tighter and more on the galaxy brain side in terms of learning mechanical nuance and depths, but Elona simply offers you more roleplaying options which makes it just as interesting despite being mechanically simpler, you might start a run with a simple human wizard with familiars and the next one you'll roll as a dumb golem that literally punches through walls.
That said, if you don't like Roguelikes it might be hard to get into it, especially since Elona is more on the sim side.

My dedicated missile spammer was one of the Rommel Ghost variants, the gray one iirc, or maybe the pink one?
I don't really remember anymore, it's been ages since I finished the game, you should check those and see how you can modify the various slots in Jingoro's garage, some of the variants also have subvariant chassis mods or unique alternate slots, the Bisonte Mario/Luigi being perhaps the best examples of that.

iirc it should have Triple Header preinstalled in its CPU so you can put other chips, check if it's the one I remember, but as long as you have five sub slots anything goes really, you should have plenty of triple header chips by now either way or characters with enough Hunter/Mechanic levels to get around that.

There are games with no story where you move around and sometimes attack things. Those rarely have to worry about anything on the list besides "cliche plotting". I find most of them more fun than JRPGs of any type.

I've heard this game's bosses are slow and plodding but I haven't played it. Won't judge.

Taking a famous riff and adjusting the tempo isn't style or influence. It's lazy and derivative, regardless of how the last decades of the industry has been completely inundated with people who only do this. Japan on the other hand just patently steals shit more than anyone.

SJ is unironically superior in every way

They edited 4 cgs while there was way worse content in the game. I could deal with it.
Butcher is what they would do if they had to localize 2-2 today.

SJ is more of a mainline game than Nocturne was.

Is that a JRPG?

>Give it a try and tell me how it goes.
I am about to, tried it on the Sarus ships in the Dark City. It does fast work but I am worried about the ammo count

>they're the big boxy launchers with the flower decals
I have those but I have other weapons (S Tornadoes) that are stronger, same ammo count, but heavier

>Attacking a training doll with a real sword
Is she retarded?

>Is she retarded?
Unironically yes, that's a pretty big part of her character.

If you played the game you would already know the answer to that question, which is yes.

Can only find unpatched on emuparadise, but cdromance luckily seem to have a translated version.

>I am worried about the ammo count
With Triple Header and whatever other chips you have you can demolish anything effortlessly since your DPS per salvo will be absolutely insane, granted you're doing nothing but launching missiles from five pods, if you play with three tanks you have more than enough ammo to take down anything, I can guarantee it.
If you give me a few minutes I'll reinstall the game and look at my exact build.
>S Tornadoes
The slightly higher attack doesn't warrant the higher weight, you'll want as much plating as you can get at max difficulty since enemies can easily melt through it in a round or two, especially Kata, which is all about blitzing.

But I am.
And fuck Working Designs thinking they were clever with rebalancing games liberally.

>alt timeline where rex is a girl and Malos is love interest
that's certainly a excellent way to take a interesting idea and make it completely unappealing

>also, do you advise to lower weight of weapons for more shields?
Absolutely, the attack malus from weight reduction doesn't mean much when you get more survivability in return.
Perhaps you should farm some saurus for their super tile packs too, if you're soloing bosses with a single tank it's mandatory to have loads of those for repairs.

Hardtype is better. Nocturne has lots of flaws

If you need fast grind money kill these guys, you can break and instakill them on map if you have some decent napalm throwers, you'll make loads of dosh by killing them and selling the cannons they drop.

RIP my PS3, is Ar Nosurge worth the effort to play?

Yeah, they're the fastest way to make money, otherwise you'll have to try your luck with turtle spawns near the subway, which is not as efficient.

Because they re the most generic kind of games that exist today.
Plus I hate those games' magical pseudo-European aesthetics, those horrible and ridiculous outfit designs and the names those characters tend to be given.

I'd like to. Is there any jrpg, dungeoncrawler or whatever - atleast some gameplay with satisfying romance? some fanservice/ecchi be nice too.

If you like FFX's combat system, it's pretty similar except there's a type weakness wheel (Data

That's nice.
As I told you, missiles are super strong in Xeno, they usually are in most MM games but in Xeno they're plain retarded.
Consider playing the other games if you haven't already, they've vastly better than Xeno outside of the music, which is admittedly some of the very best of the franchise.

>As I told you, missiles are super strong in Xeno, they usually are in most MM games but in Xeno they're plain retarded.
Their low ammo count and chance of being intercepted caused me to steer away from them.

>Consider playing the other games if you haven't already, they've vastly better than Xeno outside of the music, which is admittedly some of the very best of the franchise.

I did play the fan transalted game (remake of the first one). I made progress but I think my problem was that I didn't "get" the mechanics.

Sorry I'm asking about the first one. I don't have any sense of completionism though and don't care about trophies, just wondering if it's a good pick for an ordinary playthrough.

I know, but OP asked a question and I answered it. Had to do something with my break.

you're a fag Gideon

Also, who's Ross and Gideon?

I'm considering playing metal max xeno since I hear its linear and assume that means you fight a sequence of well balanced fights that prepare you for each following one rather than slogging through random battles in whatever area I happen to wander to which may or may not be appropriate for my level and could therefore require grinding.
Is this a bad idea? Seems like you guys don't like it much.

Yeah, they kind of give you that impression and to be fair, they're not as strong as cannons until the endgame, once you do get there though there's simply no contest, missiles are the way to go and outclass anything that isn't meant to break guard.
>I made progress but I think my problem was that I didn't "get" the mechanics.
You should go back to it then, especially since Xeno is a huge homage to the first one, things like Brass Banshee or Rommel Ghost were iconic enemies from the first game which only reappeared with Xeno, and they made the Rommel Ghost an actual pilotable tank too, which is pure fanservice.
Xeno is simplified, but as long as you understand that instead of breaking guard gauges you'll have to break parts for mechanical enemies you'll hardly ever have problems, the key will be always having a tank with piercing/hollow charges and missiles.
The DS games are great too, especially 2R.

It's alright, though the story gets shitty in the last couple hours.

I am, I'm just about wrapping up Vagrant Story and probably going to start Brave Fencer Musashi since my dad had recommended it

Xeno is a mediocre to downright bad game unless you're a big fan of the series who can get all of the references and the underlying big story of the game, and the game is 90% made up of references. Playing it without knowledge of the series means you're missing on the only good things it can offer, which are cameos and "hey remember that moment/character in that Metal Max?", which in turn means you'll never understand what makes the series a cult classic and the main purpose of Xeno.
>that means you fight a sequence of well balanced fights that prepare you for each following one rather than slogging through random battles
You assume wrong, especially because linear games have never been inherently more balanced than non linear games, not to mention that MM's strength has always been the exploration and surviving into areas you're "not meant" to be in, though admittedly a lot of people can't deal with that and prefer prebaked games with as little player freedom as possible, if that's your case then MM is not a series for you, and Xeno will be a massive waste of time, because it's a sub par MM game and a mediocre game when you take out the MM label.

>The DS games are great too, especially 2R.

I'm studying two professions and working. Not being capable is one thing.

Thanks. Sounds like I can't "deal with that", but could you explain what exactly I'm supposed to be enjoying? If the gameplay loop is to mash A to win until I run out of supplies then go back to town to heal up and repeat until I get through the 'area I'm not meant to be in', where does the fun come from?

>but could you explain what exactly I'm supposed to be enjoying?
The exploration, the vehicle building, the whimsical villages and characters you come across, the unexpected discovery of some new place you missed earlier, the weird questlines, hunting and sniffing out cleverly hidden wanted monsters, finding and romancing waifus and being a badass hunter, all of which Xeno fails to deliver.

If you don't find these things fun then the series isn't for you.

first, those games are generally pretty long and i want to focus on finishing my backlog, and playing a long jrpg game won't do me any good
second, as far as i'm aware most of them have turn based combat, which is something i'm not really sure if i like or not. i started playing earthbound a couple of months ago but i stopped after the third town because the gameplay is just tedious, and i'm considering just dropping it altogether. yet one of my favorite games is lisa the painful where the turn based combat was actually kinda fun, so i'm not sure what to think of turn based combat systems because of this

Pacing is possibly the worst in any jrpg, with a 10 hour intro where you're bombarded with awful cliches. Story is shit the whole way through, it's just a jumble of common tropes that don't even fit together in a coherent setting. Battle system is a mess: you tell your units what to do but you have to babysit them because the AI is retarded. It's also really badly balanced, you just slap on three layers of buffs before going into a battle and autobattle is more than enough to win handily. Except some maps with dumb conditions that are a chore to play without being actually challenging. Music is bland and forgettable. Visuals are bad except character designs and those aren't 'good' they just come from a popular sameface artist. There's lots of minor issues that add together to make the game really boring to play, like having to run around and go to sleep 10 times to get the story to progress, or getting a random equipment and random accessory orbs etc. after completing a battle because they couldn't bother to put effort into anything.

>what is urban fantasy

Buzzwords.

What cliches exactly?

Wrong and garbage opinions with more and more buzzwords.

Literally never happens.
>It's also really badly balanced, you just slap on three layers of buffs before going into a battle and autobattle is more than enough to win handily.
So are games like SMT but it's more than enough for people here.
>Except some maps with dumb conditions that are a chore to play without being actually challenging.
Translation: you suck at the game and are mad about it.
>Music is bland and forgettable.
True, won't argue about that.
>Visuals are bad except character designs and those aren't 'good' they just come from a popular sameface artist.
Visuals are perfectly fine and you have the shittiest of tastes for dissing Urushihara.
>like having to run around and go to sleep 10 times to get the story to progress
Curfews are the only instance where that happens because you're suppose to bond with your party members, which is perfectly fine.
>or getting a random equipment and random accessory orbs etc. after completing a battle
And that's bad because?

A whole load of hot opinions mixed with lies and cope, not to mention deliberately not mentioning in the role playing itself, with branching paths that lead to various different events depending on your choices, the fun stuff during curfews, your fairies, the hitler route etc.
I don't even want to know what you consider a good game at this point because you reek of failed normalfag.

Is it actual yuri or just shitty bait with zero payoff?

Neither.

bait

Non-answers haven't been clever for like 15 years now

Oh come on, you have ancient evils, a bunch of kids waking up from cold sleep, super special chosen one shit (despite the faggot sidekick being a much better unit because story =/= gameplay), development of magic, adopted father dying in the intro, military school, power of friendship or some other nonsense that somehow saves the MC in the end, and basically every other trope you could think of. Not to mention every character is just a generic anime cliche. The story is told in such a stilted way, especially at the start where you have a scene where you find a faggot lying on the ground, jump to some worthless intro island, jump to the mainland where it seems like the story is finally going to start, jump to school, etc.
The gameplay tries to be real time with pause, which is itself an unpopular battle system, but with the magic of japanese design it ends up being very clunky and you have to intervene to stop the AI characters from getting stuck on eachother (rather than intervening to make important strategic decisions), so it utterly fails at achieving the point of real time with pause. Other games having bad battle systems does not excuse the rest. My personal skill is unparalleled but the issue is that battles are an annoying time waster rather than something enjoyable.
Whoever told you about the game must have used the wrong word because I think by "curfews" you are referring to furloughs, aka vacations. The system wouldn't be so bad if the characters weren't boring and they didn't break the flow of the game at times, contributing again to poor pacing. But no, even ignoring that there are times where you have to go to sleep manually several times to get to the next battle.
Random items is bad because the developers don't put in the care to balance encounters depending on what you have, it's a lazy design decision and jut reinforces the fact that the battles aren't fun.

It's a typical JRPG where "role playing" doesn't really exist, you have some dialogue choices but they don't really matter. The original version went maximum cheese with people dying very contrived deaths so I guess it's good that the new route lets you avoid all that by following the story and doing obvious stuff, so you'll only see the original route if you go out of your way. It's not like you're making tough choices, either you do the right thing or you do the wrong thing and even if you do the wrong thing the battles and story only change significantly at two points: one that puts you on the new story path and one that you can only unlock if you've beaten the game already (and unless you're as dumb as me you probably won't play this crap more than once). Despite sounding better, the new story path takes away all the impact of the original so many people prefer the original. That being said, I need to reiterate: the story, whichever route you take, is poorly written schlock.
So yeah: bad gameplay, bad story, bad music, bad characters, bad interface, bad game.

Because I don't know any good ones that are not on PC. I only have my Switch and PS4 pending computer upgrades, it BSODs too much right now.

I need some good waifushit, preferably on Switch. XC2 was great, but Shining Resonance Refrain has that PS3 era shallowness where everything non-mainline is a tiny room or two lines of text, and no moment of Ys VIII has been fun at all.

Outright terrible? Nah. Pretty bad? Yes. If this game (Legend of Heroes III: White Witch) is anything to go by, then the Gagharv trilogy are the kind of games you play if you don't mind putting up with hours of shitty gameplay for the sake of decent story and characters. The PSP versions in particular got fucked by sub-par translation and Bamco deciding to change the battle system from a fairly novel early take on real-time JRPG combat to the most boring rendition of a Lunar-esque battle system I've ever come across. The PSP version of White Witch even had the nerve to get rid of magic shops - think Final Fantasy V - and replace them with pet food stores for this nigh useless pet raising mechanic that got shoehorned into the game for no reason.

But even if they stuck with the old combat system, I still don't think the game would have been for everyone. White Witch's gameplay loop mostly consists of fighting trash mobs or talking to people around town. There's not much in the way of set pieces or scenarios, there's only like five boss fights in the entire game, and there's a whopping TWO monster-filled dungeons, and only one side quest involving a series of book chapters. Basically, all the good stuff in White Witch happens in cutscenes, where the characterization and story do shine; even with the shoddy translation.

Attached: ULUS10125_00064.jpg (1920x997, 395K)

I think you've been spoiled by XC2, user, and the whole XC series in general. I too can't go back to that PS2-PS3 era shallowness as you describe.

Sounds like I should avoid the PSP versions at least.
Have you played the later games? I've heard some praise LoH 6+ as the greatest games ever made but others describe it as something you slog through the combat and story. What's the deal?

I like Ys and have never played a xeno game. What am I missing?

Possibly. Though I'm totally fine with PS2 stuff, it's specifically the early PS3 era when Japan was still getting used to HD development that gets me. Once you notice the actual gameplay boundaries, it's kind of crazy how simplified most of them actually became because creating more assets and displaying them was so daunting.

Gameplay-wise, the Trails series is much better on all fronts, and it only gets more player-friendly and polished the further you get into the series (albeit more broken and unbalanced). Unfortunately, though, the further you get into that series, the further the story and characters slip down the teen otaku pandering rabbit hole. Playing LoH3 was pretty refreshing in that regard, actually. Instead of an overblown mech anime drama with harem aspects, I got a comfy, mild-mannered 90s fantasy JRPG.
