Trails of coldsteel 4

That is Emma Millstein from The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV

Is it good

Probably due to their adoration to black American culture over there.

You can do everyone's story chapters in any order you want, but if you want to beeline someone's story you'll probably have to grind a lot.

I just started playing Breath of Fire 3, about 3-4 hours into it inside some big mansion. Enjoying it so far.

I am currently trying to level up in Dark Souls 2. Then I will play either FF6 again for the first time in 9 years, play FF9, or play Bravely Default.

Also, I have study coding and look for new job to for quick money.

Squenix ports and emulation. Any RPG I've tried on mobile otherwise has been shallow garbage, and I've been looking around a fair bit recently.

I know right? I would kill for physical copies other than my PS1 and Dreamcast copy.

Went back to Skies of Arcadia of the disgusting garbage that was FFX. Needed a pallet cleanser.

I suspect that I'm nearing the end of Romancing SaGa 2. I've dealt with all of the Seven Heroes other than Wagnas, who I am about to challenge, and Dantarg, who I've heard absolutely nothing about. I'm guessing Dantarg must be in the remote south somewhere, and I'm not sure how to get there just yet.

I've decided that my current armor is probably complete garbage, since a lot of the stuff I'm using was available at the start of the game, so I'm trying to get some new stuff developed before fighting Wagnas. Some enemies have been hitting me for 1000+ damage, which seems a little excessive. I can still get by, since my offensive power is plenty high, but I'm losing LP constantly.

Baten Kaitos is really damn good.

Tactics Maiden is actually decent.

Because I just finished one and now I have nothing to play.

Dantarg is in the area where the herders are, south of the gemstone mine.
You get some good armor from chests and stuff but yeah some are worth developing. However since there's multiple tiers of development you won't be able to get the best stuff by the end of the game if you start now.

I looked up some videos of baiten kaitos and it seems really confusing, which isn't really an issue, but it also seems to have some sort of real time element? Is it really intrusive? I hate ATB.

>JRPPRRFFGGG

Its real time element is about the fucking cards.
>get milk
>wait 30 minutes
>now it's yoghurt
>wait another 30
>cheese

Consider dealing with Wagnas since by defeating him you open up a certain part of the map and some pretty important lore stuff you'll otherwise completely miss.
As for armor, you should have plenty of good stuff if you have only two heroes left, after you get to the last emperors you also open up some dungeons with outrageously good stuff, and both emps come with Harmonium armors by default too.
Either way, things like Tentacle attacks will still do absurd damage even with endgame armors, the best defense in this game is either specific hard counters in forms of spells or mikiri when available, or just killing things before they kill you, do not expect armor to make much difference outside of normal battles.

oh goody it's another thing that gets spammed hourly.

But this isn't a smash thread

What said.
>get shampoo and conditioner
>wait 356 days
>empty shampoo and conditioner and a pile of songs in the sound test

I feel like I've gotten tons of great weapons from chests and random drops, but almost no armor. I've been using things like steel armor, budo gi, and gauntlets for basically the entire game. It seems like development progresses after just fighting a handful of battles, though, so I should be able to get something at least a little better. I tried to keep a lot of money on hand in case another expensive and important purchase like the academy came up, so I largely ignored weapon/armor development.

As for Baten Kaitos: it's not very similar to ATB, thankfully. I'm not a fan of ATB either.

Noted. I ran through an area recently that had a ton of enemies that could spam tentacle attacks for 1000+ damage, and spellcasters that could hit my entire party for 300-500, which made me feel like my defense was less than adequate. For the moment, I'm actually using lighter armor than usual in an attempt to act more quickly than enemies. Killing a group of enemies in one round is no problem so long as I can act before they do.

Im playing mhw right now and I don’t like Japanese character design at all

did you miss the rapid stream formation? With that your party is guaranteed to act first (until the formation is broken)

Just beat Tales of Symphonia was gonna go for the platinum but playing this game 4 times is a bit excessive imo. Are all tales games like this?

>Killing a group of enemies in one round is no problem so long as I can act before they do.
You have the Rapid Stream/Dragon Tail/Amazon Strike formations for that, light armor only helps if you refuse to use those or for your emperor in the spearhead of Dragon Tail.

So you can just switch between what story you want to play whenever you want? Why is it difficult to finish one story right away?

I'm attempting to make one myself in gamemaker.
It's pretty fun to work on, but I have doubts because I know the combat isn't typically fun, it makes testing it and debugging things a bit harder because of it.

I was playing Digital Devil Saga but it got boring.

Yeah, I'm still missing that one. I've mostly been relying on the amazon raid formation.

I may need to experiment with the dragon tail formation. From the description, I thought it just made your characters act in a fixed order. If it allows everyone to act directly after the emperor, that would be really useful for me. My current empress almost always acts before anything else.

The game expects you to have multiple characters. for each story's second chapter, and the only way to do that is to go through another character's chapter 1. Top it off with the recommended level counter usuallly being well exceeding what you'll have for the time you reach the next chapter's town by yourself, grinding becomes a necessity, which isn't easy to do early game.

Most of them will take 2 playthroughs tops, actually 1 but its more efficient to do 2 with NG+ perks

Because I prefer the zen of destroying difficult action games.

I'm playing Dragon Quest VI and I love it. It might even top V as my favorite so far, been going in order. V had the raw emotional weight of its personal story about family, but I love the cast, world, story, and class system of VI so much.

Oh, I think I get it now. So you have to play as a character to get him to a certain point on the map and meet up with another character you played as? That sounds pretty good.

Radiant Historia drags a bit around the middle, but I emjoyed it overall. It has good combat mechanics and a good protagonist.

Tales of Symphonia is a pretty well-rounded game. It doesn't excel in any area, but it doesn't really have any glaring flaws, either.

FF13 sucks. Maybe it gets good after 20+ hours like some claim; I don't know and I'll never know. The beginning isn't worth putting up with.

Jeanne D'Arc is a mediocre tactical RPG, and there are most likely better ones available on the PSP that you haven't played yet (Wild Arms XF, Yggdra Union, Gungnir, Tactics Ogre, Growlanser 4, etc.)

I enjoyed Oreshika quite a bit, but it's definitely not for everyone. Whether or not you'll like it depends on how interested you are in the family/dynasty-building gimmick, and how much you care about plot and characters in JRPGs. Oreshika is more focused on mechanics than storytelling.

The other games in that list I haven't played. Overall, Tales of Symphonia was probably my favorite of those games, followed closely by Oreshika and Radiant Historia.

I have a love hate relationship with FFXIII.
I can't stand walking down a straight line to fight enemies. But, the auto battle system is surprisingly in-depth. I can't stop farming for traphezodrons.

Lost Odyssey without question

>I thought it just made your characters act in a fixed order.
Every party member in the Dragon Tail formation gets to act in slot 2-3-4-5 order after the Emperor gets his turn in a round, it's basically a soft (or balanced) Rapid Stream, works great with lightweight and fast classes like City Thieves, Kunoichi and the likes as Emperors, considering it's also the earliest formation you can get it can be put to very good use.
Unfortunately, the formation's pattern makes it a bit risky for certain kind of attacks that travel horizontally and pierce through your lines, much like Rapid Stream is dangerous for vertical row attacks.
I can vouch for both Alliance Alive and Oreshika, the rest is either bad or just not worth your time.
Jeanne D'arc might be fun if you like Mahou Shoujo/Tokusatsu though, it's basically a Toku show VERY lightly inspired by the real world story, the SRPG side is very very basic though, and the game's not really interesting outside of the sheer dumbness of Jeanne being a bone fide magical girl and a certain twist, in that sense Radiant Historia is much more competent in gameplay, even though it's just as bland for everything else.

can't afford the console / PC

If I could afford it I would play it, name of game?

That its good? Gonna give it a go then.

You don't have to play the previous games right? I just want to play the game for the girls.

Waiting for Three Houses

Was Fire Emblem Echoes any good?

change their tactics, tell them to conserve TP

I'm kind of thinking I should get back to playing one. My playthrough of Persona 4 stalled some time last year and it's always been in the back of my mind that I ought to finish it, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Remembering what each Persona does is going to be a PITA. I should finish P4 since I'm going to upgrade my PC soon and that will make P5 playable at 60FPS most of the time (I think).

I've also been thinking about starting either Xenoblade, Valkyria Chronicles or Folklore. I've got too much shit to play.

All and in the order you listed them

fuck no

It looks really weird how her legs move but her butt just remains frozen in time

Yes

Why are the Trails games overwhelmingly positive on steam?

They are great games.

suggest me one to play

I got work in 10 minutes

Can you summarize what makes them great? Just really thinking if these games are worth or just another cope with not being able to play persona on pc

Judy is best girl

>not being able to play persona on pc
5? It's playable, doubt you even need a good PC

I only played the first one, but I wasn't too impressed with it. It does a good job of developing some of the characters, but outside of that everything was mediocre at best. I would have appreciated the massive amount of time and effort spent on world-building if the world was less generic.

>wanting to play persona
you can play all the good SMT games via emulator

>just another cope with not being able to play persona on pc
You can play every mainline Persona game on PC, I'm pretty sure. For free even, plus anything other than P5 should also run on pretty toaster-tier PC. If you want to play Persona, go right ahead.

So thats Emma, right?
Did they actually make the 3D models lewder?

More webms of this whore? I'll decide if I play the game or not after seeing them.

that's a round ass

What are some good jrpg's on the 3ds/ds that isnt bravely or the SMT games?

Let the BBC doujins roll, baby

No but the previous two arcs (Trails in the Sky and Trails to Zero/Azure) are

So I will use ths thread to ask, I just finished the sky trilogy and now I am thinking if I should start coldsteel 1 or wait for the geofront guys to finish the zero translation.

Is the coldsteel quadrilogy bad compared to the rest?

Haha...

Attached: F16AF358-2491-44F2-88AF-61E27E2BF5DE.jpg (1920x1080, 136K)

Yes, Cold Steel is notably worse especially compared to Zero/Azure since all the gameplay "upgrades" in CS are from those two. You can wait for the translation, but then you'll end up waiting years for the translation for Azure.

Because I need more than eyecandy to pay for a game

>Is the coldsteel quadrilogy bad compared to the rest?
No.

The story, characters, pacing, and combat are all better in the crossbell arc compared to Cold Steel, plus it deals with some unresolved plot threads from Sky that won't be as fresh in your mind if you wait too long to play them. There's no reason to skip any games in the Trails series unless you're only interesting in school shit.

How would you rate it thus far? was thinking of getting into it when it was almost releasing but ended up not having time, now I do have it though

Should I play breath of fire 3 or wild arms 2? Other suggestions welcome.

I'm finishing up Breath of Fire 1 now. This last section of the game is pretty questionable.

huuum I sure dont want to know where this meme comes from
When the geofront one drops I will play azure with the current translation after finishing it
good, I was thinking even if some characters are bad I still really like the world/setting enough to power through it if the overall plot is good enough.

If any of you guys have played coldsteel 3 and 4, I was thinking since I heard 3 starts to get everything together with the other characters from the other regions would you guys say the quality of the narrative goes up or it just gets worse?

I'm playing Evenicle, does that count?

>huuum I sure dont want to know where this meme comes from
They literally write "haha" a lot of time when they don't know what to say and with Rean the "haha thats our Rean" when he pull out some shit to solve all problems.

>Party member die
>revive
>Party member betray us

i'd play in order. i personally find cold steel to be very good but it's a lot more anime than trails in the sky. there's a lot of upside to them though.

Bruh I'm playing Tales of Destiny right now

I'm playing this one too.

the game has 0 challenge and boss fights are usually just groups of random enemies

what the hell happened

>good, I was thinking even if some characters are bad I still really like the world/setting enough to power through it if the overall plot is good enough.
Crossbell has some of the best characters in the series, Cold Steel is the one with mostly bad characters until later on in the arc (and even then some of them are bad and it has a major issue with Mary Sue type characters like Aurelia, Rean, and Towa). The plots are generally fucking awful besides CS3 and some of CS4 unfortunately. CS1 and 2 combined feel like the first 3 chapters of FC in terms of actual story content; there's a lot of filler and they're the only games in the series that feel like pieces of a story rather than a complete story on their own.

The localization cuts down on the amount of "haha"s and "Rean..."s a lot at least.

>there's a lot of upside to them though.
Yeah like anime schoolgirls and uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yes. The story was enjoyable. The art and animation are stellar. The maps aren't too good but they were good enough.

I like the damage formulas.
On a fourjobfiesta run atm and I've got Mystic Knight.

Have two swords, Enhancer(102 attack) and Rune Edge(50 attack) and I was curious with how they measured up since rune weapons have different mechanics.
First Rune Weapons spend mp with attacks, for a bonus attack, 20, so it's actually at 70, but then the magic stat is added onto the normal strength based damage formula, and it cuts enemy defense by 4, so it outperforms the enhancer, especially when I have !Black equipped on the mystic knight.

Wat what about the "end of a saga" part in the title?

The actual VA for the MC posted here and someone made him record this
soundcloud.com/anime_sonicmega/rean-coldsteel

I've been enjoying it quite a bit. The mechanics are pretty solid as usual, and I like the basic premise. Playing as all the heirs of a royal dynasty and expanding your empire while battling the Seven Heroes across multiple generations is a pretty unique setup. I also always appreciate base/kingdom building in JRPGs, as well as having a bunch of characters/classes to play around with.

There are like 3 JRPG (DQ, FF, SMT) series worth playing, and then not even all of the games in them. And a couple off odd ones as well I guess.

I heard Persona 3 has 15 versions with different bonus content. Which do you play if you only want to play the game once or twice?

You can't play her game but yiu can olay her other game and have a nap on her thighs

Why?

Just play fest on ps2, the fest part is because they include an after story called "the answer" and you play with Aigis as mc. It also include the main campaign.

P3P for psp has a female version of the mc and you can date the guys, it has some new parts written for a girl's perspective but doesn't include the answer. You can still play the normal campaign with the male mc.

I recommended it to my little sister for her first jrpg and now she’s fallen in love with the genre completely
The game doesn’t really offer anything new to the genre but it’s great as an entry point or nostalgia trip.

the new one is basically a spinoff that addresses the remaining plot threads or something.

>maybe it gets good after 20 hours
it doesn't, it doesn't even open up like people claimed. It gives you tutorials right up until the final boss. I liked the combat though, best combat in the series bar none since you have to actually time shit. You know, active time battling.

Monstania and the Atelier games are all that really comes to mind offhand. In the latter series, I enjoyed Mana Khemia, Rorona, Totori, Meruru, Ayesha, and Annie.

Metal Saga and the Metal Max games might be worth looking into as well.

Thank you fren, all those settings kinda started to look like the same

Played Cold Steel 1, than I learn that I fuck up.
Start playing Trail in the Sky and I definitely fuck up.

This serie is doomed anyway, it's either beyond saving if you're a falcofag or was never good if you hate them. Just go with the flow and see how far they can go

I get where you're coming from. Personally, I appreciate it when the focus is on the protagonist trying to achieve their own personal goals, rather than them just reacting to the villain or some impending disaster.

not him but her's right. The poster who praised P5 says he doesn't like jRPGs because
>it either starts nice and takes a huge dive in quality some hours in,
yet this applies more to persona 5 than any other jRPG out now. The gameplay amounts to a watered down SMT at best and the story is just awful by the time it reaches kaneshiro, ending off with one of the worst final arcs in jRPGs lately

Playing 3rd myself. Enjoy Kondo's wild ride.

>shitting on Persona of all jrpgs
I would tell you how stupid you are but it's not even worth the time.

Look at those gams.

It more like, after finishing Cold Steel 1, I learn that I was missing 5 games worth of story.

Is it good?

I like persona 3/4, 5 was a disappointment. There's nothing interesting with the combat since they drained all the difficulty out, the story gets worse as the game goes on, and it's stretched out far too long. The calendar events (or event, there was only one) is a joke compared to 3/4

unironically can't wait

There are people that think FFX is the best FF game. Let that sink in.

I'm playing the superior jp only version of FC on Vita right now, and it's basically the final stage in evolution for "classic style" jrpgs. The setting, the art, the 3D models and the aesthetic are all perfect. It's an old fashioned society with a type of magic technology that powers their weapons and airships and whatnot. The characters are great, and the battle system is like the turn order based system of FFX but with positioning on the map actually being important. There are also little quality of life things everywhere that make the game an absolute joy to play.

Apparently that all goes out the window in Sen, though, because from what I've heard and seen the game progression gets a lot more linear and the games star a typical LN haremshit protagonist as the MC. The games even have a stupid school idol type student counsel president who the current Falcom president is shilling as the mascot girl of the series.

You playing 1 or 2? I'm too broke for 2 right now.

Not him, but 5 was miles and miles ahead of 4. 4 was just a bad game, and people who didn't like the ending series of events where you plot against Goro and then find out Igor was an imposter are dumb.

Because I cant find a torrent for Xeno chronicles x JP version.

I used to like Tales of Symphonia before I realized it was every single JRPG in a nutshell.

If I wanted to spend half an hour in a tutorial, I would do it with something that would actually enrich my life.

I wanted to like P3 more but I didn't like controlling one person regardless of tactics. I really liked the story until towards the end of the game and I lost interest.

Consistently mediocre for the most part, but then literally everything surrounding the true ending was stupid and made no sense. The just start yelling about finding the truth, and then suddenly all the evidence you gathered means nothing and you pull the identity of the real culprit out of your ass.

>goro is an awful character
Who died like a dog and was forgotten. It was fantastic. They'll ruin it with Royal I'm sure, but the base game was great.

>and yaldaboath didn't have the tonal or story build up that nyx avatar did in 3
"It wasn't as good as 3" doesn't make it bad, and the reveal about Igor was fantastic, especially if you played the game in moon and were aware that his seiyuu had passed away. It was a meta twist that I've never seen done in a game before, and it was brilliant.

What are the best JRPGs on the PC? I stopped playing JRPGs but I want to get back into them. Any good suggestions?

emulate SMT nocturne, xenoblade, and mother 3. souls series is another obvious one

I'm playing Breath of Fire 3 actually. So far it's pretty comfy

Not really. Haru even tried to recruit him for a second and he didn't go with them. They were treading on thin ice, but it was fine as is. Like I said, I'm sure Royal will involve him surviving and joining your party because saying sorry is enough to excuse murdering a bunch of innocent people in cold blood including the father of one of the cast members (and maybe even Futaba's mom) and will ruin the whole thing.

Name one game other than P5 that used the death of a well known seiyuu as a reason to switch the voice of his character entirely, only to reveal at the end that it was an imposter in the story and the real version of that character still had the same kind of voice. You can't, because you're a fucking retard who just wants to shitpost about Persona.

I liked the story for the most part but the ending was pretty unsatisfying. Tragedies are fine but I really hated the Eternians getting erased/the castaways not remembering anything about the situation you were in during the "dream" world

>muh thousand years dream
Fuck off

9 is the best, but X is my favorite. I'm in love with the concept that you're playing a direct sequel to a game that never existed. Kinda like the first Castlevania with Some.

the voice twist was used in MGS2. No one died but obviously I can't use death as a means since that's an obtuse event. The twist doesn't change the fact that everything about yaldaboath was shit. It may have been an EPIC MOMENT! but it doesn't have substance

>but obviously I can't use death as a means since that's an obtuse event
Do you know what "meta" means? That was the whole point of the meta twist. So either provide a comparable meta example or fuck you, you shitposting retard.

Been playing FF7, but I hate playing games on my laptop, setting it up on the tv is a hassle
I lost interest in X-2 and XIII because I didn't like the combat, but after playing VII, I may go back to them.
I haven't played P4G because I'm afraid the sauna miniboss will kick my ass.
I haven't continued Ni no Kuni because I've been focusing on other games/jrpgs
Haven't been playing Digimon Cyber Sleuth because I've been focusing on PS3 games
I'm too big of a coward to continue DeS or DS1
Every other JRPG I own I haven't started because those games are long and I have too much of a backlog. With the PS3 dying I'll start P5, Tales of Gf/X1/X2 eventually.

Dragon Quest. I've only played IX, but my biggest complaint was how many side stories and neat adventures there were that were completely unrelated to the plot at large. Coming from other more plot driven rpgs I really wasn't able to appreciate it as much

Which Atelier game should I start with? Saw a torrent for the Arland trilogy recently and got me thinking about trying the series. Never was a big fan of time management shit so I never looked into the series, but having finished Persona 5 after retrying it, I'm willing to give it a second look.

Should I start with Rorona or go back to one of the PS2 ones?

Because Hollow Knight refuses to end

I've searched for answers of that before but never gone through with them. I think the general answer is to start with the beginning of any trilogy.

I'm (probably) close to the end of DQV, will likely go to IV next. I'd tried IX and XI but this was the first time I was really able to get inot a DQ game.

That's still all contained within the story and doesn't leverage a real world event outside of the game like P5 did.

I'm playing utawarerumono if that counts

I don't need it to be that difficult. It's probably the easiest RPG I've ever played, though.

I haven't come close to dying yet. I never use items because the game heals you after every single battle. You can actually use your food sack to heal while just walking around, but I've never needed it. I haven't done any grinding at all. Boss fights last about 20 seconds and feel like random encounters.

I think I'm about halfway through now, so maybe it gets harder.

They're entertaining enough at first, but then towards the end they juxtapose stupid shounen manga cliches against a more serious story and it just doesn't work at all. I lost all desire to play the game on NG+ and do the sidequests after seeing the end of the game.

Also, gachashit ruins the gameplay.

Trails series really is shit. Especially Cold Steel.

Well, that is our Trails for you.

nope, Trails is fun and comfy.

I loved XC2, as waifushit that was actually fun to play. I tried both Shining Resonance Refrain and Ys VIII as replacements, but both felt mediocre. What is a good JRPG I can play on Switch that has enough gameplay depth to actually be fun but is also trashy enough to be waifushit?

How far did you get on Ys VIII? Also it didn't click with me until I put it on higher difficulty.

Wild Arms 3 is kino

Is kenshi a jrpg? Bad luck Brian here posting with my tounge.

The first T-Rex boss where you get your third party member. Someone said the game was "like Tales of," so me in my boomerism assumed that meant "like Tales of Symphonia." If any of the characters had made an impression on me I would have continued regardless, but that was not the feel.

>Someone said the game was "like Tales of,"
Shoot that person

I've never made a white mage character that doesn't also have either summons, black magic or time magic to back them up. All of those have offensive options.

im about to start vagrant story. some top 25 ps1 games list said some shit like "if you play the first 5 minutes of this game and dont continue on youre crazy" so i wanted to see whats up.

I played it when I was a dumbass kid, you're pretty much guaranteed 100% on NG+ as long as you continue doing most things and just take the different options when they're presented

I really hate the FF X-2 being "actually good" meme. Most of the game is lazily recycled from FF X including the awful controls now made even more awful since there's awkward jump points everywhere that are barely indicated. The writing is fucking atrocious at all points, most things just don't make sense on a fundamental level, and for a game where you spend the majority of it retracing over Spira and talking to people for sidequests, that's kind of a problem. The combat is also nothing special, it could've been good but the game slows down to a crawl to let any spell animation go off completely invalidating the active time battle aspect. Ironically this is something FF XIII did much better. it's just fucked up that a fully turn based game like FF X actually delivers faster paced combat for the most part. Music is also fucking garbage and I hate it. Lulu's still slim and wearing her bondage dress when she's ostensibly 8 months pregnant which just goes hand in hand with how lazy everything is.

>it's just fucked up that a fully turn based game like FF X actually delivers faster paced combat for the most part.
Turn/speed-based combat is always faster than ATB or cooldowns crap, more news at 11.

Does Judgment count?

ur a faget

>it's just fucked up that a fully turn based game like FF X actually delivers faster paced combat for the most part.
The problem with ATB outside of being inherently garbage gameplay wise is that FF games are all about visuals so of fucking course everything has to be drawn out and take forever, which reflects on the ATB messing up with the battle system and make everything take forever because your average animation is 10 seconds long.
Take another ATB system actually done right like Last Ranker and you'll see the difference.

>Defending XIII
And just like that your opinion is invalidated.

Equip the white maps for a sane encounter rate

Why is Wild Arms 5 so rare? I can find 3 everywhere.

Damn. I didn't know about that. Pretty sure I got under 50 Discoveries.

I was hoping for this since I honestly didn't care too much for Xenoblade Chronicles 1. It looked like a different experience. Maybe I didn't give XC1 enough of a chance.

Both are very good, the only thing in the series so far I wouldn't recommend would be X. The plot and characters are really awful, not because they're cliche but because they're barebones and you play a hangeron who watches the real MCs do everything.

I wish they would put Koudleka on PSN I never got to finish it.

I still prefer Xenoblade 1 to this day. Less obvious pandering with the story and characters and the open world fodder at least sticks to offline MMO shit and doesn't mix in elements of shitty mobile and browser games.

Because I’m busy trying to get through the FF XIV msq

I still can't find a Tales I enjoyed as much as Symphonia even though everyone tells me it is bad. Last one I played was Zestiria and I'm too gun shy to try another recent one.

Enjoy that fucking kino

That's alright I don't have access to a Wii U.

Not 'less obvious' just in a different style. XC1 is anime as hell, the only people who say otherwise haven't seen anything outside of entry level shounen.

Xenoblade Chronicles

>XC1 is anime as hell
Name one anime where the childhood friend who's liked the MC forever ends up happy with him and the strange new girl he meets during the story doesn't win. That's a serious request. Please.

Oreshika is complete shit. Sorry my dude.

For manga? Alive, the final evolution and it was shit for it.

Melia is best girl and best girls always lose, user.

Mental Illness: The Post

Maybe its time to finish Trails of Cold Steel 2. I feel like the pacing is screwed up. Last time I stopped was at the 2nd of the 4 Spirit Shrines.

I didn't ask for one manga from 16 years ago, I want to know which anime do this.

Melia is a good girl, but Fiora was best girl.

Oreshika is GOAT dungeon crawler material

I had a dream about this game last night

3DS unfortunately.

XC1 has a greater for penchant for standard JRPG tropes than anime tropes. XC2 is the opposite.

is there a game that actually corresponds w this gif? i love me some cat ppl

The Persona series is a masterpiece of mediocrity but no one feels confident enough to give their honest opinion about the games because they are shilled so hard that people believe their opinion is invalid. 3 is shit, 4 is double shit and 5 is dipped in shit.

If you are a Persona fan, you fell for the marketing and flashy lights.

>Likes whiny sluts

>He thinks those are separate things

Vita denialist confirmed.

>Less obvious pandering with the story and characters
XB1 is the same revenge tatakae shit as one of the most popular and overrated anime titles of the last decade.

I'm so sorry to hear about your brain damage, user.

Not him, but they absolutely are. The only people who think they're the same and that XB1 was as anime as XB2 are the people that don't actually watch anime, or at least haven't watched it in the last 20 years.

Has anyone played The Awakened Fate Ultimatum? Is it worth it for the waifus? I've had it for years now and haven't touched it yet and don't have much experience with roguelike aside from Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon.

Persona is based, contrarian Ass Nigga

They are, honestly. The Chosen One MC whose town gets attacked in the first chapter of a story is way more of a JRPG trope than an anime trope, for example.

Oh boy, is it time for you to whine about 'muh moeshit' like you types always do?

I don't really have enough time for RPGs anymore. It would take me months so get anywher.

>JRPG tropes than anime tropes
JRPG tropes are directly based on shounenshit tropes of 80s-90s. Takahashi is a giant /m/fag. You're saying inane bullshit.

Will play p5 later tho

Are you the fucking retard from the last thread who tried pretending that everyone who doesn't like haremshit and isekaishit just says random things but doesn't actually watch anime? You sound a lot like that retard.

Work

>reading

But there was no competition. When there's no competition, the childhood friend's actually win.

t. 3000 hours in some moba or fps

>JRPG tropes are directly based on shounenshit tropes of 80s-90s
Depends on the trope. Some are pulled from old D&D campaigns and/or spontaneous trends from within the JRPG genre itself.

Because 3 is superior.

I suck at FPS and don't like Moba. I used to have hundreds of hours in MMORPGs but that has been years ago.

The only jrpg I want to play right now is a Persona 3 remake but Atlus keeps shitting out P5 spinoffs instead

Is there a chance I'll like Xenoblade 2 if I hated the first game and dropped it after 20 hours?

>Ghibli as a representative example of anime
Holy shit.

That movie came out after DQ2, DQ4, the first two Breath of Fires, Lunar 1, Final Fantasy II, and a host of other JRPGs that utilized that trope to some extent.

Haven't found a good one to play for a good while now while procrastinating on playing Tits 3rd.

Waiting on Grandia remaster to replay my personal GOAT. I guess YS8 could be in the category too? Finished it recently and post-game depression's still there.

>Depends on the trope
No, it doesn't depend on the trope. Even the most mammoth shit old JRPG tropes can usually be traced to Tezuka, Nagai, Tomino or other fathers of the industry.

Called it.

The town wasn't even destroyed in that movie, the elders kicked his ass out because he got infected with demon aids.

Called what? You're a fucking retard who reads shitty machines translated LNs and thinks that everyone who calls out certain cliches and LNs for being shit just hates cute things. The retards like you that keep complaining inanely are always the ones who hardly even watch anime.

None of those.

>Haven't found a good one to play for a good while now while procrastinating on playing Tits 3rd.
Get on that shit, user.

Where do I grind in pokemon FireRed?
I want to go and do the E4 rematch since I just finished Sevil. Battle facility doesn't give EXP

Most people only call it bad due to it being babbys first tails game and wanting to be contrarian.
Symphonia was overall pretty solid.

Tales of Destiny 1 and 2 are both great games, mostly for the story. Because the combat in tales games is generally 1:1

My first Tales was Eternia. Never got to finish since I was renting it.

Most of the hate that I've seen is residual hate for Zestiria, fans mad that it's not Vesperia PS3 (which they got anyway,) and the typical 'female protagonist = shit' garbage.

fragezeichenmödchen.jpg

I've played Kingdom Hearts Final Mix PS3 for 3 hours when I noticed that there's a PS4 version with supposedly better performance. Should I start over with that version?

No, it has similar enough gameplay that if you couldn't stand 1's you probably won't like 2's either

Is there a single good jrpg that doesn't require 50 hours of grinding? Also no faggot weeb graphics

>that doesn't require 50 hours of grinding
What fucking jrpgs have you played that required heavy grinding?

>Why aren't you playing an anime dating sim with shit combat
I haven't given up on my life yet

Just started Xenoblade Chronicles, story feels basic as hell so far but I enjoy it. Appearantly Fiora doesn't stay dead and I'm not sure how I feel about that. My bad for reading these threads I suppose.

That's a relief, I tried emulating it but I couldn't get it to run well.

X has fucked up textures and FPS with emulation, yeah.

I think I could somehow deal with low fps if it were just a case of it looking bad but it also seems to slow down the game and I don't feel like playing it in slow motion.

Nice, that's always a good one.

X has by far the best overworld and best exploration of any open world game to date, and far and away the best (I'd even say, the only good) sidequests of the series. I'm glad it tried new things and didn't just aim to be Xenoblade (2), I want the numbered and X series to actually feel different and aim for different design philosophies.

Attached: 1452669619222.png (1280x792, 1.24M)

Some user told me about a cartoon skateboarding game, so I'm playing that instead.

I want X to do better with the story and characters. Pulling what they did with Cross isn't really acceptable in this day and age.

Want to play cold steel 2 but autism demands i play throuigh the crossbell games first but the translations seems like it sucks so now i'm playing hitman.

They aren't bad enough to ruin the games or make them unplayable. Don't let nitpickers dissuade you from playing Crossbell.

Based on actual faggotry.

How would you know? Do you know moon?

Trails doesn't have a ton of deep, intricate dialog that's subject to egregious misinterpretation.

That’s the best version so you’re good to go.

That didn't sound like an answer to my question. That sounded like a load of bullshit from a coping dekinai. I've seen side by side comparisons of the games posted here, and the translations fuck up plenty.
