He's right tho. The only roleplaying aspect in any JRPG is the turn-based combat borrowed from D&D, and even that is overly simplified. Japan can't into rpg, so they had to make their own vague interpretation of the genre.

No elves especially the dungmer are made for NORD cock while their cuck men are arrested for Skooma peddaling.

Exactly one week from now, I'm going to be at a convention panel this guy is hosting with his girlfriend. I know literally nothing about him. Give me a question to ask him.

Also I'm only going to the panel because I've blown my load to his girlfriend's bare moose knuckle cunt, so I figure I should at least shake her hand or something.

Trails in the Sky is shit. Actual shit. It doesn't even do worldbuilding well, since there are loads of other RPGs with better worldbuilding. Trails is boring schlock with uninteresting NPCs, uninteresting main characters, uninteresting dialogue, uninteresting combat, and an uninteresting world. I put 14 hours into that shit and it never EVER got better. 14 goddamned hours wasted. I don't give a damn if it gets good 15 hours in, any game that takes that long to become enjoyable is hot garbage.

But Morrowind assrapes every JRPG at lore.

Trails of Cold Steel is more based than any other JRPG or WRPG out there because it has blessed us with the existence of the chaddest protagonist in all of human fiction, Rean "Lean Mean Meme Almighty God King Machine of Zemuria" Schwarzer.

I mean Vivec is a pretty blatant copy-paste of Ardhanarishvara

Worldbuilding and realism are two totally unrelated things.

>muh planescape

Attached: ffxv vs planescape.png (1938x654, 589K)

This seems better than the last examples. However Planescape is among the best rpg's of all time, even most WRPG's pale in comparison. Meanwhile P5 is just above average.

Well yeah. Morrowind’s mythos exists because Kirkbride got high reading Eliade’s History of Religious Ideas.

So what you're saying is, that jrpg haven't improved at all for 2 decades?

To be fair, kicking Bethesda's ass at anything nowadays isn't exactly a hard task, like pushing a geriatric down the stairs.

What the fuck do you mean by a copy-pasta? Visually? Yes he is heavily inspired.
Backstory wise? No, not at all.
Metaphysically? I guess aspects of androginy align somewhat, but the point of Vivec, his story and his metaphysical role is COMPLETELY different from Ardhanarishvara or any aspect of Shiva.

Change bosmer to “buttsmear”

What time do you leave in? Bethesda doesn’t make rpgs anymore, just shitty first person immersive sims

>image doesn't mention worldbuilding/speech (the topic of this thread)
>relies on vaguely dismissing the combat (even though anyone who's played the game can see this assessment is flimsy at best)

Hmmm.

user, are you retarded? What exactly is non-canon about Morrowind, Oblivion DLCs, and hundreds of ingame books?

>b-b-but it has reddit-tier dialogue, that means it's good!
cope. planescape is ffxv for westaboos.

>ignoring the writing
It's like saying that you don't understand why some songs are more praised than others when they all use the same notes.

>more/better

How can it have more lore if TES has more lore than most of the LOTR lore not counting expanded stuff from history of Middle earth.
Like literally, TES has more written lore than most fantasy novels, obviously excluding giant settings like 40k that are super gigantic.

I love how all these captions use persona 5 as an example of jrpgs. Talk about low-hanging fruit. Then again it did bring out a lot of zoomers and nu-weebs/ironic weebs into jrpgs.

What is the best JRPG there is, the best of the best.

Yes, we should be aiming at the high-brow JRPGs that have interesting design, like... Oh wait. Do they exist?

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is unironically the best JRPG ever made.
Name a game with better exploration and world building - you can't. Now add to that the best video game soundtrack ever composed, god-tier art direction, a compelling story and an exciting battle system that, even if it gets repetitive later on, always makes you feel amazing when you finish all combos.
XC2 is the peak of gaming. Nia is the cutest character ever created too.

>god-tier art direction

It looks unbalanced and ugly, clearly bottom heavy. Exposed thighs create weird color imbalance and the way his feet enter/interact with the scuba iron pants is retarded. Additionally it is extremely overdesigned in general.
Probably one of the ugliest and most pointless looking character designs ever created.
XB1 had objectively superior character design, do not argue with me if you disagree, there is no point in arguing with bumbling retards.

Are you blind son

What does Bethesda have to do with RPGs?

you very well know that his design is almost universally hated, fuckboy

>kicks bethesda's butt at world building
as if that was a high bar to reach

>"Roleplay"
All I'm getting is WRPG elitists never actually played D&D. There's fixed lore and character campaign books everywhere.

It's a super made up lie that TRPGs are based on complete independent imagination.

Who said otherwise, bitch? We all know that there is sometimes fixed shit in non-vidya RPG's, it's just that Western games (traditional included) have more freedom and fun to mess around with. If you want complete freedom, stick to Dwarf Fortress.

yes and you haven't played shit if you are going to pretend that set campaigns don't often spiral out of control into something completely different and often times fun/unique because players can do everything...since you know, it's all in your head

>Yea, but a lot of cases they spin out of control
So you're easily impressed by the placebo effect of just removing a NPC or winning a stat check to end a mission early?
>Freedom
Okay, but nearly every case where people say "freedom", it's so lazy and irrelevant it's only there because they can afford it.
>Fun
Define "fun".

>Objectively superior character design
Show the armors.

>Judging works written in foreign languages exclusively by their translations, which as everyone with an ounce of cultural wisdom already knows amount to nothing more than fanfiction tier butchering of characters, rhyme, themes and more

Oh God, you sound like a GM that railroads his campaigns exclusively. No, not to end mission early, it is possible to entirely change a scenario in tabletop games.

meanwhile if i started on a good jrpg list I could be going on and on and on until tommorow

the only anti-jrpg fags are the people that think every entertainment medium from japan involves big eyes and tentacle rape

Japs are pretty terrible at worldbuilding honestly when they even attept it at all, only Square-Enix does it well at times, despite how many people hating it the world building in FFXIII for example was really good if you bothered to read the data logs.
