BOF4.

Valkyrie Profile 1

Endless Frontier 1 and 2

Raidou 2

Suikoden 2. Sprinting across the world map feels great.

>>14605923

You forgot to mention the awesome macro system.

>>14605951

I filed it under "some combination attacks", but yes I liked that a lot about the game.

Thanks m8s, taking notes. Forgot to mention that I play a bunch of roguelikes because they tend to fit the bill by their very design, so I didn't bother listing them. The last few I played were Elonna, ToME4 and CDDA.

the ARPG genre

Persona 5

SMT 3

Etrian odyssey

now if you want the opposite of the spectrum, wizardry 8 is so good but the battle speed makes me wanna kill myself

>>14605988

Titan Quest begs to differ.

>>14605944

>BOF4.

BoF4's battles are fast but the pacing of everything else is glacial.

>>14606555

>trails of cold steel had a turbo mode

>used it for everything, cutscenes, fights, traveling, even buying shit

>game still felt like it was 40 years long

FF X-2. Fastest ATB gameplay. just ignore the story

SMT: Nocturne (This one mostly is something that you would enjoy)

7th Saga (fast, challenging, great ost. Go to the gym, cook yourself something tasty and pop this game)

Strange Journey, DDS/DDS2, any SMT is fast compared to the slow jrpgs of squeenix

>anon suggesting Valkyrie profile 1

Except that shit is super slow with the oversouls or whatever the fuck hypercombos that take forever. At least you can skip it, but still.

>>14606925

It's a big game

Dragon Quest games in general. Barring 8, they're all Sanic fast

>>14607102

For me?

Suikoden is brisk as xp is determined based on your level and the monsters you're fighting, so you never have to grind. Suikoden 2 is the same but there are a few items you'll want that have a 4% drop rate, and you'll definitely want the best ending which requires recruiting every character.

>>14607593

Because it's worse than the original and the story sucks? Just play og 2-5.

>>14607593

DLC up the ass and extremely poorly balanced as all bosses HP is bloated to allow the Fafnir class to do massive (in the thousands) burst damage. Same exact issue as EO4, where the end game becomes Imperial Gunblade spam.

>>14607596

worse than the original? Absolutely not, U2 overhauled the fuck out of that game

>FOEs do not give any exp

>trash class balance (lol hexer DH, shit survivalist beast and so on)

>bosses laughably easy, U2's are like pic related

>spiteful RNG in everything, from gathering to finding a postgame superboss

who cares about story in a game like that.

>>14607600

>all bosses HP is bloated

nonsense, all proper damage classes do enough damage to take down everything in a comfortable amount of turns before MP runs out. The HP amounts are always deceiving, Colossus being the prime example.

>DLC

A dick move from Atlus. But who cares, don't use it, I didn't and still got tons of content.

If you said Grimoires or Floor Jump I'd be with you. Still one of the best EOs.

>>14607613

>all proper damage classes do enough damage

Where 'enough' is between a quarter and a sixth of what the equivalently leveled Fafnir would do. You can not balance a game around a single OP class.

>Still one of the best EOs.

Extremely wrong.

>>14605994

>Persona 5

Wut. Everything about the game moves at glacial speeds. It even feels slow as fuck using rush.

>>14605944

>BOF4.

You want BoFV for a game that is well paced. Never wastes your time, cutscenes are to the point and sparse. And combat doesn't have any crazy animations. Makes sense since the game is supposed to be replayable to a degree given how S.O.L works.

>>14611082

You have to replay shit to get to the ending, period. They shouldn't have built the game around that dumb system.

Unironically FFX. CTB > ATB

>>14611117

This. ATB never worked, what it tried to accomplish was effectively nullified by animations putting every action into a queue.

Although, the pace isn't perfect, especially if you want to do the extra content that consists of nothing but grinding. Go around the world to kill 10 of every monster so that you can unlock super bosses in the arena to grind your stats up to the max in order to fight the ultra bosses.

Also, chocobo racing, balloon dodging and 200 lightning bolts

>>14611082

>>14611110

I know people don't like the replay system, but given that you can just loop whatever save point you are at and restart to that point, Party XP exists, and the game lets you keep any equipment you find, and no matter the level scaling your Dragon Form is always broken.

It still doesn't jerk you around with the replaying.

>>14605923

Go play Genesis ShadowRun, the best console RPG of all time.

>>14605923

Try actual RPGs not JRPGs.

>>14624600

>CRPG's

>Fast

lol

>>14624600

Try actual posts, not shitposts.

>>14624643

why the fuck does so much store salsa have vinegar in it. ruins the whole thing tbh

>>14624662

>Why does food that sits on a shelf for an extended period of time have a preservative in it?

You havin' a laff?

>>14624643

What is this shit?

>>14624662

Because its aimed at actual spics and they like it that way.

>>14631158

Spics have no taste.

>>14619212

M8 I love the game but the matrix runs are the sluggiest shit I've ever played.

>>14607613

>>FOEs do not give any exp

Because you aren't supposed to grind them

>>trash class balance (lol hexer DH, shit survivalist beast and so on)

Hexer is top tier and the beast is fantastic. What the fuck are you talking about?

>>14640724

>Because you aren't supposed to grind them

Why not? They made for one of the most efficient ways to level up new members by shoving them in the backrow and having a more capable team do the brunt of the work.

If the game is going to present a regenerating enemy to the dungeon, I think it's fair to say you are going to farm/grind them for your own gains. A 7 day respawn timer just stops you from doing it constantly which is fair.

>>14638828

This.

Unironically try either WRPGs or Japanese games with WRPG influence like Dark Souls.

>>14605923

Shit taste tbh.
