JRPG thread. Recommend me some JRPGs which aren't complete weeb tier. Pic sort of related, about to try out Tactics Ogre, looks pretty good. Games with an Open World/World Map/Exploration would be great, if those even exist.

Hope you like grinding and autism tier micro mechanics that aren't explained coz Tactics Ogre and FFTactics are utter shit.
Play some classics:
Chrono Trigger
Earthbound/Mother 3
Lunar 1 and 2
Panzer Dragoon Saga
FF6 and 7
Skies of Arcadia
Dragon Quest 8
Paper Mario 1 and 2
Phantasy Star IV
Valkyrie Profile
etc

the games you listed are fun, atleast the ones of them i've played, but you're a faggot for not liking TO and FFT. FFT wasn't even complicated, must be sad being so bad at vidya that you think FFT and TO required 'autism tier micro'. noob.

Fire Emblem is technically an SRPG but its story is very nice and europe-based. Beautiful and fun. Played it 5 times, considered playing it a 6th but I didn't want it to get stale for me, singleplayer games usually only get 1-2 playthroughs from me.

This. JRPG loving autists will never know the true joy of choosing a dialogue option to congratulate and accept a transexual for their life choices, or engage in a homosexual relationship with such deep conversation options like "I'm hungry".

its not, a good soundtrack works in tandem with the production. If the production fails to capitalize on it, it's ultimately devalued and hurt as a soundtrack.
The minimalist panzer dragoon saga soundtrack with its tribal beats, mild jingles and soft acoustics and howls of wind is far better than anything in the chrono cross soundtrack because it capitalizes on the game play itself.

vagrant story is nice, it's kind of a mix of a rpg, variety of weapons and the combat system is about chaining attacks by properly timing a button press with the moment an attack lands (a la paper mario) and resident evil 1 exploration (3rd person, areas locked until u find a key to unlock them and platform-like puzzles).

I don't get this. I know people generally like Vagrant Story but the little I've seen just oozes boredom. Is it something I just have to sit down and play for an hour or two to really get into it?

Yea. At first you don't understand how the weapon and risk arts work so you're frustrated because you can't do any damage.
Pic related does timing-based combat better though.
Only its a shame how short Vagrant Story is and that there isn't and likely never will be a sequel.

FFTactics is a mediocre TRPG that only FF fans with very little experience with strategy games like.

This is just off the top of my head, but Tactics Ogre, Shining Force 2, Just Breed and the majority of games developed by Career Soft for Jap stuff. Jagged Alliance 1&2 and X-COM for western games.

anon, i never said it was innovative just that it was nice but vagrant story is the first rpg i've seen that you could chain your attacks indefinitely as long as you time it well (like crazy 70+ chain attacks) . it has kind of a weird learning curve and the story is slow at the beginning so yeah, i guess you would have to invest a bit of time first to appreciate it.
>>14296461
well, i would just run around with 1hp, a ranged weapon and using that skill that deals more dmg the less health you have and one that adds dmg the more dmg u did while chaining so even if i was using the shittiest ranged weapon i would still kill everything as long as i didn't fuck up the chains. probably not the best way to play the game but i liked the thrill.

All console games of the N64 and PS1 era are like that. Some of those games are just really slow.
