>Ys is older than ANY of these series or games and is still producing highly underrated quality-over-quantity action RPGs that are fun, challenging, and engaging with god-tier music for everyone to this day
The absolute state of many JRPGs these days; they're sadly just not as adventurous as Ys is now.
I don't want to say Origin is a bad game, it's not, but Ys without Adol the Red ought to be a crime.
Jonathan Butler
ys has gone through a lot of gameplay changes over the years, from bump combat to platformer to 2.5d and full 3d. you might like other games in the series, try watching some gameplay footage to see if any of the others are your cup of tea
Logan Brooks
Falcom has never made a good game beside low efforts trash tier and Ys is a meme series.
Robert Jenkins
boring
Jeremiah Gonzalez
>Ys is still producing highly underrated quality-over-quantity action RPGs that are fun, challenging, and engaging with god-tier music for everyone to this day YIKES
Play Oath and Origins. 7, Celceta, and 8 are okay at best.
Michael Ortiz
Langrisser and Shining aren't dead, the former's been reanimated as gachashit and the latter's been chugging along as shameless waifushit for years now
Parker Ortiz
Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana was unironically pure ludo. Video gaming crystallised as an art form
The new Persona games are less casual than Persona "Nuke and Charm bullet to win" 1 and Persona "auto battle to win" 2. Doesn't matter how many elements you add if you only need to use 1 to steamroll everything. I don't know why I'm replying to a shitposter though. Also Drakengard is terrible so I'm not sure why you'd want another game.
Levi Rivera
You don't GET IT, Drakengard is SUPPOSED TO BE BAD!!!
>tfw I was actually looking forward to 3 but it's even worse than 1 in some ways
Matthew Perry
All jrpgs have OP skills that can be spammed to easily win by someone who knows what they're doing. Even the gold standard of jrpgs, FFVII, had pic related
>Fire Emblem dumbed down Already you've proven yourself wrong and I dont feel the need to read the rest of your post, nor validate you in any way.
David Brooks
Has 9 been confirmed for PC?
Ian Brown
I mean, it's pretty obvious.
Jacob Gomez
>>Dragon Quest is alive and well Dragon Quest is alive and boring FTFY
Jose Foster
Using your starter to steam roll the game isn't a secret OP skill. And you'd want to do this because the fusion system in 2 is so tedious and annoying that you want to avoid it as much as possible.
Anthony Cooper
>Hating the levels Flooded Prison, Silent Sands, and Demonic Core are kino.
>A company not immediately producing a sequel or remake to the properties means they're dead. Dude, you're just as bad as the fuckers who clamor for a CoD series every year. Let developers branch out, do what they want to do. Stop begging for a 1000 Final Fantasy or 1000 Pokemon game.
The fact that RE7, DMC5, BOTW and SSBU got added while ME3 is still there after Andromeda came out gives it away.
Logan Roberts
The worst Mario RPG is Super Mario RPG holy shit what an overrated game
Liam Cruz
>turned Retard
Gavin Cruz
This is the worst bait I've seen in a while.
Matthew Young
yikes...
Asher Green
Hot and objectively correct opinion: popular first-person shooters like Call of Duty and Fortnite have better gameplay and level design than plenty of games that Yea Forums overrates like Nier, Undertale, YS, Persona, etc.
Nathaniel Gonzalez
>not sticker star >not color splash >not partners in time so you're just a contrarian right?
Jonathan Jones
but he gets magic and healing powers...
Jordan Gutierrez
he put his opinions in spoilers what do you think
Alexander Wood
Atelier is fine, stop being a fag OP
Adam Perry
No. I have my own opinions and I prefer games with good controls on the overworld over ones with bad controls >G-g-git gud Are we going to pretend Mario RPGs are hard now?
Luke Stewart
Here’s a reply
Cooper Allen
Is this a new meme I'm unaware of?
Aiden Taylor
Sorry I have my own opinions and don't let the hivemind decide what good games are, you can keep your (You)
Bentley Miller
Why do you compare games in completely different genres?
Connor Phillips
what ys to begin with
Landon Murphy
>muh genre JRPGs suck
Sebastian James
Was literally going to post this.
Jack Perez
Why?
Levi Evans
The older ones are top down arpgs with a focus on mobility and timing rather than spreadsheet optimization, the more recent ones have an over the shoulder camera and party members.
Henry Wood
You can't beat the Snow route in 1 like that and EP at all. Besides Persona stopped being hard at 3. 5 is one of the easiest and shittest games ever made
Michael Richardson
You can beat Snow Route in 1 like that as long as you don't do a reverse Tower run. The final boss can literally be beaten with a Persona thirty levels below it (I think Succubus) because it nulls everything Nyx does. I also recall EP being easy too but it's been years and IS burned me out from ever replaying it at least for a long while
Jacob Ward
You literally can't. Fodder encounters would block you. Nice try P5babby
Persona 5 is one of the worst games I have ever played. How the fuck can anyone but incel weeaboos think JRPGs are good?
Mason Garcia
No you can't. You can keep being a P5babby, doesnt change facts.
Jayden Myers
big C here desu
Eli Reed
It's only liked by ironic weebs and normalfags and they hate anything else. See the P5babby in this thread
Benjamin Allen
Nothing but shovelware for weebshitters nowadays. Final Fantasy XV was the last straw.
Henry Smith
>He struggled with normal SQQ. I couldn't even imagine being this shit at games. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and imagine you're just a shitposting poseur. Which did you find more difficult and why? Mikage Ruins or Devil's Peak?
Samuel Carter
I've loved every SMT game I've played except P1 and P2, even the original Super Famicom ones. Sorry your games are shit my guy.
Jaxson White
>Neptunia is self explanatory Despite the generally mediocre quality of the gameplay in the series, I feel like it has a long life ahead of it. It thrives exceptionally well on everything that isn't the gameplay.
Lincoln Howard
>Nowadays Then why are you bringing up games from 5-10 years ago?
Gavin Nguyen
Yes P5 is shit. You are right
Lincoln Jones
Hey I noticed you're avoiding this question I wonder why that could be? You're not some shitflinging poseur like every P1 and 2 fag on this fucking board are you? Nah no way.
Angel Myers
The oldest game I mentioned was Undertale that came out in 2015. Every series I've mentioned has had recent releases.
William Barnes
Oh. But Yea Forums mostly praises the older games in the series. 3 is the most popular Persona and Nier is considered better than Automata even though it's definitely not I agree with you there.
Parker Brown
Mikage Ruins. You are dumb. No save point in three towers requires some preparation unlike 4 and up
Joshua Bennett
Salty P5babby. This is why real fans don't like you. You killed everything about MegaTen.
Liam Sanchez
>Smash Ultimate >BOTW >Paper Jam Meme. Substitute respectively with the appropriate worst titles. Namely, Brawl (or Smash 4 for being literally soulless), Skyward Sword or Zelda 2, and Partners in Time.
>Apollo Justice >Not Investigations 1 AJ at least has the best first case and a solid final case. Investigations has ????
>The SaGa series has started ripping off Last Remnant
...huh?
Ryan Price
You didn't say why. I wonder why that could be? And there's plenty of preparation in 4, it just doesn't annoy you so I guess it doesn't count. >Still dodging the question Hmmm
Hunter Jenkins
>Furiously googling Mikage Ruins and Devil's Peak to pretend to have gone through them.
got through soft 100%ing YSVIII (did all quests and 100% the map). Was a good game but honestly felt like a worse xenoblade
Henry Young
>no mention of any megaten games outside Persona ???
Eli Ward
>pokemon is just braindead
Nah, Detective pikachu is proving live action video game movies CAN have soul
Joshua Morgan
>FF9 worse than any 13 or 15. >DMC 5
I know this is bait but please stop.
Lincoln Gomez
Nice try shill but every single one of your company’s games look exactly the same
Wyatt Price
>#FE twice Ok that's funny. Should add SMTIV and FE revelations
Brody Green
>Xenogears and Xenosaga are dead and not getting remakes while Blade still lives And that's unironically a good thing. Square Enix would no doubt ruin Xenogears with a remake, either making it fugly Chibi phoneshit or soulless press X to win FFXV real time combat released as episodic content with microtransactions. Meanwhile with Xenoblade's success, Monolith keeps gaining more and more budget and freedom, as well as game design experience. Now, they keep expanding their studio and openly have the ambition of continuing both the base and X series. I'm unironically more optimistic for the future of both Monolith and its games than any other game studio.
Samuel Wright
that's how you get replies these days. Repeat retarded shit over and over
Camden Rodriguez
VIII is on Switch so I don't see why a "Switchtard" would try to shit on it.
