What are some good deep rpg games /v?

Metal Max Returns

I meant minimalist more in terms of looks, I think SaGa looks fantastic and will give it a try
That looks dope as well, lots of characters

If you get the perfect ending on Suikoden 1 you can import your save data into 2 and meet your old hero and even recruit him, its pretty neat

I always loved that about it

You are such a rotten little liar that if you were to shit as hard as you are lying your ass would prolapse violently and annihilate whatever is unfortunate enough to be within a 100 foot radius. You filthy little fuck.

>I think SaGa looks fantastic and will give it a try
Well, I can't say I don't like to hear that, but mind you that it's a series on a whole other level compared to the vast majority of JRPGs, and most WRPGs either.
It's not easy to get into it for most people, and the massive wall in terms of mechanical knowledge coupled with the absence of any sort of tutorial makes it hard for newbies to get into it.
I suggest you to start with the DS remakes of 2 and 3, they're linear and easy enough to get accustomed to the very basics in terms of mechanics, with the Romancing games and beyond, the series goes deeper and deeper in the rabbit hole, and you have to deal with nonlinearity, massive casts of characters, fragmented narrative and so on.
They're amazing games, but they tend to filter a lot of people, there's also more or less frequent threads on /vr/ for easing people into the series, so it would be wise to go in there if you have problems or need to ask something.

FFXIV Main Story Quests.

Not even joking. I really only play for the MSQ. I cancel my account for a few months at a time to let them accumulate and then binge them. It's like waiting for a new episode of a show you like.

>I meant minimalist more in terms of looks
You sound like a tremendous faggot.

i would replay that shit again but already did it 4 fucking times

Jagged Alliance 2

Come for the music and the lolis, stay for the unexpected addiction to cartography.

Genius of Sappheiros

Lost Odyssey. It’s only on the 360 though.

Its all good, plan on emulating

Why redditor faggots want Jrpgs to look like Wrpgs we have enough uglyness already get fucked cucks SUPERIOR anime style all the way.

If you like steaming piles of unbalanced garbage these are amazing all right.

Try something like Treasure of the Rudras, OP.

FF6 has pretty crazy customization, too bad most of the game is piss easy

Redditors are the ones who want anime style.

Thanks for writing that essay appriciate the knowlege, looks up my alley, I like those kind of tactical games where you really get stumped and have to think and manage

I'm currently having a blast with Ni No Kuni 2

Easy tactical games are basically pointless

The problem with modern JRPGs is not the anime artstyle, it's the anime designs

Crosscode.

>no u
Don't think I don't see through your BS

>has pretty crazy customization
It doesn't and even if it did, breadth doesn't translate to depth.

Play Front Mission 3

Cladun X2

>spam zoom I
>win every battle

Epic Battle Fantasy 5

90% of the focus in the game is the battle system and customizing your characters and your strategy.

There's a free version too

SMT 1

That's much less enjoyable than ejecting enemy pilots and stealing their wanzers.

I second this, I hate that super generic anime look thats in every single anime and Jrpg now days. I don't even watch anime in general but shows like DevilMan/Berserk/FoTNS always caught my attention

Is final fantasy 7 worth playing? I have it for iOS but haven’t really touched it. I’ve never played FF7.

Is labyrinth of refrain any good?

Anyone know if the first SMT is worth playing? Or KMT for that matter?

You are a manime faggot

OK: It has crazy customization for a SNES JRPG

I wish the rest of the game was like Floating Continent and Kefka's Tower in terms of difficulty.

Hey retard

FFV does it better

Stupid faggot

Go spark yourself a better technique, you're losing LP.

I wish modern JRPG just played like old JRPG but with modern graphics, the only one that's like this is DQ11

The Last Remnant, the pc version in particular. It fixes a lot of things wrong about the console versions. Very deep character building system and mechanically interesting squad combat while keeping to its jrpg roots

banger soundtrack too

Sure, if you're doing an anthropological research or want to see where SMT comes from. Otherwise I'd say no.

Just got what you meant but still, modern anime style sucks ass

This.

Based and Yggdra Unionpilled
Seconded

I just beat that boss today and my characters only had HP in the 1000 range, what the fuck is that Locke

wow this thread was useless

so you're telling me that if a random bloke walks in on you watching that high pitch voice ass shiny eyed trash that they wouldn't think you're the faggot as opposed to someone watching something like DBZ?

seconding this. very gameplay oriented RPG. make sure to play on the hardest difficulty for maximum enjoyment.

Ok manime faggot what modern anime are you talking about? Specifically what shows?

>Being this buttfrustrated
Don't you have some instawin kotodama to write?
Oh and mind that TLR is still a SaGa game, so be advised OP.

Final Fantasy was never anime, why even bring it up?

Is 4 worth playing first? Have it sitting on my Steam from a humble bundle or something.

Please stop posting you're only embarrassing yourself

What a surprise that all your faggotry stems from daddy issues. I'm sorry he walked out on you but I can't blame him.

That looks great, though.

insecure about what? I just think it typically looks cringy and generally sounds cringy and it's usually translated in a cringy way. Didn't mean to trigger you lot off so badly jeez.

Nekopara isn't an anime. Again, specifically name some anime to prove your point

no it doesn't, not even close. The esper equipped is all that matter and that's nothing compared to something like golden sun which had a similar djinn system

>etrian
>generic anime

>looks 'so fokin good'

stop recommending this trash game. The combat is even more simple than the average jrpg, it's just a convoluted mess so it look complicated to a braindead retard

Four Job Fiesta Final Fantasy 5, an insane amount of jobs are perfectly viable with just their own skillsets and stat-growth, even compared to other Final Fantasy games with job systems like 3. The only one that really sucks on its own is Geomancer

What would you call this style? It's not really anime, but it's not really realistic either.

>cringy
Hey buddy I think you're on the wrong website reddit is two tabs down.

NAME SOME ANIME THEN HOLY SHIT I FUCKING HATE YOU "MANIME" FAGGOTS YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE MEDIUM THEN PRETEND LIKE YOU HAVE SUPREME TASTE BECAUSE YOU SAW A FEW EPISODES OF FUCKING SAINT SEIYA OR SOME SHIT

Just finished playing it yesterday and I found it to be really enjoyable, but really easy. I played it on the PSX and the translation kept me confused throughout the game until I had to search defining plot points to fully understand the context.

If the iOS has a better translation than the original than I'd say go for it, but expect to put in around 50-60 hours, and only do Fort Condor missions that give you equipment.

The first 10 hours (Midgar) is an enjoyable experience, but it's different for a lot of people saying that "the game doesn't start until you leave Midgar".

Oh and a few things, use Sense, and maybe look at a steal guide to get some decent equipment before important battles. And don't worry about making one person a dedicated magic user, as the damage early game is negligable and everyone can use magic effectively.

Enjoy the game, and if it starts to get boring just power through because it gets very interesting near the end of Disc 1 and keeps you hooked until the end.

It's worth a go-through. Materia gets super broken, in particular the blue-magic materia and the Matra Magic spell that delivers cheap, high full-party damage.

>The esper equipped is all that matter
The esper is literally the least important part, weapon + relics is what leads to crazy shit

Not really. Soul Hackers has a similar gameplay style while being a much, much better game

Yikes

I don't mind it but the actual gamplay looks really good

>The first 10 hours (Midgar)
More like the first 6

3d anime

I'd say yes, even though 5 is a major upgrade, 4 is still a pretty good game by itself. The game kind of assumes you've played through 3 first but it's mostly from the intro and small references there and there.

Yeah 6 sounds about right. I think I left my game on for hours and saw that I finished Midgar roughly 10 hours in.

I get you. 90% the reason I play FFXIV is for the story.

>if you don't mind the isolated stories.
I wouldn't call it isolated once everything falls into place.

Thanks lads.

?

I'd consider something like Tales of or Neptunia to be 3D anime, this is more realistic than anime even if I wouldn't call it realistic.

Bravely Default?

the smell of rancid puke coming from you is very strong

ps2 graphics

6 is pretty anime.

In what way? I don't see it at all

God, I wish that was me.

Not as strong as the reek of your "period" blood, sweaty.
Time to dilate.

>bought Romancing SaGa 2 on PS4 in the weeb sale
>it's a fucking mobile port
>turn the game off out of sheer physical disgust after less than an hour of playtime
Why can't we have nice things

>equipment is the "crazy" customization.
damn dude I bet it's insane when you see two bosses in a fight, or mad when you get inflicted with two statuses at once.

booooo get new material

Look at Tina.

The equipment changes some characters a lot which lets you create builds like Dragoon Edgar or Wind God Gau

I've come to realize that without emulation, I never would have enjoyed all JRPGs that much.

>StealthTrans

I'd say it's true for a lot of game but in FF6 the average random encounter lasts 4 seconds

>anime girl avatar
StealthTrans indeed.

That's the second layer of the joke.

I've asked before but never got a response, has anyone actually played Just Breed? It looks interesting.

Ignore anyone suggesting games with turn based combat, that shit is outdated and needs to be completely phased out. You can't go back to games like that because they are just so drop dead boring. If you're looking for something with solid and fun combat with a rather enthralling story just play XV, that is about as deep as you can get for an rpg.

>FF6 has pretty crazy customization
It doesn't even have a fraction of the ability/spell variety that other RPGs have (this image is about FF9, but it applies equally to FF6).

I want a game which looks like nothing but his drawings.

how has no one brought up Lost Odyssey yet? One of the truly underrated classics of the ps3/360 generation

Why not actually answer OP's question and give a suggestion instead of the usual song and dance, WRPG-kun?

>underrated classics

Unfortunately that means following a guide to get all the stars. You literally cannot play the game the way you want if you do that. Every choice could make you lose a party member.

see

I'm not getting in an argument over this but the gist of it is that the average WRPG has pretty wide rules ("You can do anything!") while JRPGs have pretty narrow rules ("This is how the game is played"). When people talk about great customization in JRPGs, they're not talking about WRPG-style customization ("You can do anything") but a customization centered around those strict rules ("This is how the game is played" - but in reality you can break those rules).
In that regard, FF6 does have pretty great customization, not in the way of WRPGs where you can do anything, but specifically in the JRPG way where FF6 actually is a pretty simple game with low amount of customization yet you can still do some setups or builds that completely break the rules.
