There's something magical about JRPG's.

They're the kind of game you appreciate more the older you get. Yeah they can be cheesy or downright schlock, but in a good way. When I was in my early teens I used to long for the day when a game like AssCreed or GTA was the norm, only to realise years later open world has always and will always suck dog dick. Games are better when you're limited, games are better when quality over quantity is prized, games are better when publishers don't cowtow to every demand people make for more choice and freedom.

I have so much more appreciation now for JRPG's and the thought process behind them. They do worldbuillding and immersion infinitely better than "The Last of Us" or "Red Dead Redemption 2", they provide compelling plots and likeable characters that aren't political statements masquerading as people like in Ubisoft and EA games and I know it's a meme but they genuinely feel like they have soul compared to most modern games coming out today.

RPGs aren't really about challenge in the normal sense, but rather strategy and preparation to allow you to smoothly meet tactical situations, so if you are playing them right, they should be fairly easy. The thing about jRPGs is that they are often narrative focused and the industry is full of failed anime and manga writers, just like the west is full of people who couldn't hack it in Hollywood, so you usually get awkward and nonsensical story lines.

I like JRPGs but the problem with them is that many of them do not push the turn based combat to it's limits in making it fun. There are games like SMT which are so good that they even made random encounters not that annoying because it's a chance to catch new demons and new demons mean room for experiment, with the "Auto" function even kind of removing grinding because once you're high level enough, you can just walk through your current dungeon doing things you were supposed to do and just killing demons on your way. But there are JRPGs like the older Final Fantasy which are "MASH X TO WIN".

You were right, older 2d jrpgs where great games but once it transitioned into 3d it not only tried (and failed) to retain that which made old rpgs so great but also became the main genre to implement the Interactive Cuckime Concept.

Basically they traded good stories and nice characters for giggly cuckime thots that make the micropenis of the weebcucks grow another 5 mm in size.

I used to play all kinds of RPGs and really loved interesting stories, but I find as I've gotten older (and I don't mean being a teenager 5 years ago like some that use that phrase) that I prefer games with either no narrative or a classic archetypal one and most modern jRPGs don't fit the bill, though really most Western RPGs don't either. Even with the non-commericial games you can see it, like Elona, a roguelike that tries to have a story and set world and is limited by that structure, versus something like Cata:DDA which is almost entirely focused on freeform mechanics.

I feel you there. With talking about just the narrative I enjoyed SNES Dragon Quest 1 way more than "modern" JRPGs like Nier. Everybody gets their panties in such a wad over something being "typical" that they can't enjoy a good classic wholesome hero quest story without having literally every single plot point be some sort of subversion or twist.

That's like saying north korea does running a state better than remaining amazonian indigenous tribes.

No genre has ever made me feel as strongly that I'm wasting my time than JRPG.

Their characters, gameplay mechanics, atmosphere and plot structures always feel to fall into a handful of very rigid, tightly defined reoccurring models.

I always tell to people to play FFVI and Chrono Trigger and that's the lenght of what the genre can offer.

I've tried even playing the old supposedly good ones but I just can't get past the gameplay of menu navigation. Bits of story I do see just seem to be either confusing or boring, especially after spending 5 minutes walking from A to B filled with menu navigating every few steps.

Furshit is pervasive but ignorable and a sad product of the dev community of that game being increasingly taken over by complete degenerates. The furry mutations are pretty shit as well, far better to be a cyborg with the Alpha or Medical trees. I think there is a 'cdda launcher' that will download/update the game for you and add tilesets if you like that sort of thing.

The US release was called Knights of Xentar. I'm pretty sure that it wasn't the only Dragon Knight that got translated, but I only played KoX. It was pretty decent as a 2D RPG aside from the porn. Fun fact: they didn't remove anything from the original games including the hilarious gushing stream/tap water sound effect for the orgasms.

Also I no longer have it because it's a DOS game, but maybe this could help.

The most entry-level JRPGs I know are the Persona games past Persona 3. The most accessible one of those is probably Persona 3 Portable. If you can't get into any of those, you just don't like the genre. Although if you count them, then Nier, Nier Automata and the Yakuza games are even more accessible. Although those are not really JRPGs in spite of being structured quite similarly. Especially the Yakuza games.

Are you talking about older games or modern ones? I've found that you need to relax and take your time with the older games. Let them envelop you with the atmosphere and just go about it slow and steady. Times have changed drastically in the past 20-30 years and we're often caught sprinting from one place to another and modern vidya tends to reflect that. Older however, many times doesn't. You're supposed to relax, take your time and dive into it. Even if some parts seem bad on first glance, they might serve a purpose. They might help with immersion, for example. If you were too eager (because you didn't have that much time and just wanted to get something going anxiously, for example) you might have been the engineer of your own bad experiences.

This. Games like Trails in the Sky/Cold Steel seem super slow and full of fetch quests, but if you give them a chance you'll find a huge payoff in world building and atmosphere that no other game delivers on. When I first played them I didn't understand where all the praise came from because I tried to "rush" through them. Getting out of that mindset and taking my time really made those games a great experience for me.

Obviously those kind of games aren't going to be for everyone though, some people just won't be able to get into stuff like that.

Older games, so far I'm still chewing through pics related. Right now I'm on Earthbound and have been sticking to it more just for the music and weird ideas it gives me. Battles are still a drag but not having random encounters has been nice.

Both are on the list, but I do wonder how FF7 would be an upgrade to any of the others since the combat seems more or less the same. I have a hard time imagining everything else is that much better.

Chrono Trigger I'll admit seemed interesting but for some reason it runs like shit on my emulator, still trying to fix that.

Also if theres more like Paper Mario where you can actually do stuff in the combat I'd love to know it, those were probably the only turn based combat games I've liked. Unless you count FFT/FFTA.

>sure as hell hasn't been the gameplay

then play a better/more challenging JRPG or stop being a dumb nigger and learn the actual game mechanics. Assuming it's the latter, letting a game be stiffed because you are too lazy to learn how the systems work will prohibit you from enjoying many things. Do you also hate playing Chess because you don't know how all the pieces move?

Extremely simplistic, formulaic, and linear in comparison to Western RPGs like Deus Ex and Wizardry. You'll think that most JRPGs are perfect until you branch out. You'll first be frustrated with how open ended western RPGs are, but you'll find a formula that you can easily cheese it with. I like Japanese SRPGs though.

I mean, I'm pretty sure I had a good grasp on the mechanics. I think you're confusing 'I don't like it' and 'I thought it was hard'.

But maybe I'm retarded. So far I've been picking up on elemental resistances, turn order, and the importance of buffs/debuffs. Plus having a few items on hand and managing MP. And knowing who to hit first but that doesn't seem to come up as often as I'd expect, but I think thats more a universal thing. Just a matter of this stuff hasn't been interesting to me, especially since sometimes I've hit a numbers walls where even with the best gear I could find and after testing if I had something that was more effective in the fight there was nothing I could do but grind for a bit to handle it.

I like to think I've been on the ball about learning mechanics, I ain't the sharpest knife but still man I know not to judge games by my own being a dipshit.

RPG sandboxes is sort of a contradiction. It's a role playing game, you're supposed to be playing a role and in a sandbox you might get to choose that role but you're still going to be forced into another one to follow any story the game has. So you might as well cut the fat and just focus on a linear game, maybe some branching paths.

I think the only reason sandboxes were ever considered were from tabletop games where the DM was too loose with what the players could do and just let them do whatever. Like eh fuck it sure the lich can wait lets go get into bar fights for the next three years and form a band of angry dwarves.

JRPGs surpass all other genres in one area: comfiness.

>inb4 muh buzzword

It's a real, unique sensation in video games and "comfy" is, so far, the best term to describe it, though it's still not perfect. In depth customization and role playing have their places too, mostly in CRPGs and TTRPGs, but they're completely different things.

I don't know of a better term than "comfy" but I know the reasoning behind it, at least for myself.

I view life as completely pointless and without rhyme or reason. The only reason I go on is because for whatever reason I don't feel like dying. I wake up every day and search for meaning but there never is any. A comfy JRPG lets you forget all that and enjoy the present, without worrying about the past or the future. I know it's blogposting and off topic but this is why I enjoy JRPG's, they offer everything real life can't: purpose, a sense of belonging, an engrossing world you care about, agency. Above all else what they offer is the experience of doing something that actually matters for once.

I'd say SNES then PS1, PS2 and then it's a sharp dropoff and you get a handful of PS3 and PS4 JRPG's. The DS is the absolute king of handheld whens it comes to JRPG's. The 3DS is a dumpster fire, it's everything bad about modern gaming but for handhelds. All it's games are poor imitations of DS games.

But yes, you're not going to get the equivalent of God Hand, so if you go in expecting that you're gonna be disappointed. Instead of a typical game where if you had 9 points and you put 6 of them into gameplay, 1 into music, 1 into story, and the last 1 into characters with JRPG's you get an equal split of 3 points into all 3.

>Is Star Ocean 5 any good?

No. It has some neat ideas that it does nothing with, namely its RPS weak>strong>guard triangle (weak attacks can stuff strong attacks before they come out, strong attacks are unblockable, and guarding a weak attack will counter it), since enemies will just start spamming strong attacks that are too fast to reasonably react to with a weak attack, or just outright have super armor that prevents them from getting staggered by weak attacks, defeating the whole point of the system. Even then, the games actual range of attacks you can do in any given battle is still very limited, besides magic, like in the previous star oceans, so get ready to spam the same few skills over and over again.

On top of the battle system, SO5 also makes the bizarre, probably just lazy, decision to completely forgo actual cutscenes and does the Half Life 2 thing where characters start talking and your player character can freely dick about, which is just as annoying as it was there if not more so, since as this is a JRPG, there are a lot more instances of characters standing around and talking. The icing on that particular cake is that they are all entirely unskippable, and the game likes to put long cutscenes before boss battles, with no ability to directly restart the fight, instead having to return to before the long ass cutscene.

JRPGs are the one genre I've come to appreciate more and more as time goes on.

They're usually simple, fun and very comfy to enjoy when you just want to relax.

FF7 is the starting point.

It's all right if you don't have the fortitude to actually finish it though, it gets really boring by disc 3, but it's a fantastic entry point.

Was just going to say this. It's one thing where an older JRPG relying on text to tell the story, as you can mash the "next" button to get through the scenes faster, but that game decided "FUCK YOU SIT THROUGH THIS 30-60 MINUTE CUTSCENE! YOU LOSE? FUCK YOU SIT THROUGH THE CUTSCENE AGAIN!" At best, it was good for one playthrough, but no way in hell would I go through that unskippable cutscene hell again. I think other devs added the ability to skip cutscenes in their games later on because of this game.

Kind of, you use the main character in the first fight because only he can hurt the final boss thanks to his silver equipment, then you use bow girl/edgy kid/dogi and hammer loli/annoying shota/blind qt with big tits to whittle down the boss' HP until adol comes in and finishes him off, iirc in rogue galaxy every character got his own solo final boss.

Make sure you grind their basic attacks to unlock the better ones, just buying the best equipment for everyone isn't enough.

Also unlike Nayuta No Kiseki this game has a PC port, it's on GOG even so go pirate it from good old downloads.

>The Breath of Fire series would still be doomed however,

arguably BoF was already on it's way out. Sales had dropped from III to IV, and the developers are on record saying they just wanted to change the series since the platform and aesthetics of console RPGs had also changed. That reads to me, in part, like a game designed to take the franchise in a new direction because the old way wasn't in vogue anymore.

Coupled with the fact that BoF has always been a niche series, I'd argue that even if the fifth entry had been more similar to an earlier game it still would have been the last entry until Capcom revived the series as a mobile title.

Interesting topic to see now… I'm starting a JRPG for the first time in a while (Tales of Berseria) and I'm not finding myself able to get into it at all. The combat system feels stilted and the constant cutscene breaks with unimpressive writing are getting on my nerves. I hate leaving things unfinished but I don't know if I can sit through 40 years of this if it doesn't get any better. I just played through Toukiden 2 and the story in that wasn't great either but I had fun with the combat at least.

JRPG's are something that does require latching onto the franchises that "get it right" because yeah; there are a lot of these games with bad stories and dry mechanics. I know of the Tales games, but haven't played them. But there are other franchises that seem to get a better mix of engaging systems and better writing.

I'd recommend stuff like Etrian Odyssey III, Phantasy Star 2 or 4, Resonance of Fate, Chrono Trigger, Shin Megami Tensei Noctorne and the Digital Devil Saga.

Probably stuff from older consoles as I don't really mesh with the current generations of JRPG games because the cutscene bloat has gotten out of hand among other things.

Oh, I used to be a huge fan of JRPGs but it's waned over the years. Was a huge fan of SMT, although I only ever liked the older games. The mix of cyberpunk/occult horror with 90's goth fashion was one of those peculiarities of the time that nobody has managed to recapture, and I doubt anyone ever will again because it doesn't appeal to modern audiences at all outside of tiny niche. Beyond that, I just don't have the patience or desire to sit through 50+ hours of turn based combat anymore.

I realized you'd put that in the first sentence. But I'm also finding it somewhat tedious to pick up modern JRPGs since they are just slogs with no real payoff or compelling mechanics.

>The mix of cyberpunk/occult horror with 90's goth fashion was one of those peculiarities of the time that nobody has managed to recapture

It honestly miss those older games, the translation of SMT if… got me back playing them and the way those games incorporate 80/90s pop culture in addition to the sci-fi elements of the story and Kaneko's designs has this charm to it. Something I also miss is the HUD. It's like peering into a window.

>I just don't have the patience or desire to sit through 50+ hours of turn based combat anymore.

It's not hard to guess why, there's no engagement just pageantry. A lot of the most recent JRPGs I play are tangled messes of bloated mechanics, repetitive dungeons, battle designs that are either a cakewalk or intentionally designed to be hard in the cheap way. All for a story that doesn't have any teeth or lasting appeal. That's why I just stick to playing older JRPGs when I do play them

Well they're really different types of games. Like JRPGs are catered more for simple consoles rather than WRPGs which were basically made and thrived on the PC. That said I do agree that there are areas where Japs go a little overboard. Xenoblade 2 is a good example of this where you have sub cores and you have to convert them to cores, then you have to have poppi parts and then you have the affinity chart, and it's really a clusterfuck mechanic wise. However once you get into the mechanical rhythm of things, it becomes quite enjoyable. However I can see why some people would be really turned off from it. Especially nowadays were games are catered to ADHD children.

What's bad about Star Ocean 5 so that when I eventually play the game I can be contrarian about it?

I hated them more and more as I grew up and played better genres and games.

JRPGs are stale shit Japs are much better at creating adventure games with some RPG elements.

Playing games for anime titties is less embarrassing than playing them for a sense of accomplishment IMO.

Videogames are entertainment, no different from watching a movie or reading a book.

Face it, if it weren't for the games being centered around eyecandy and fan pandering, you wouldn't touch those steaming shitpiles with a 10 foot pole. Go on, prove me wrong. Tell me that if someone decided to make the exact same game but make all the graphics and characters be from The Last of Us or similar garbage, you'd play it. You know you wouldn't and would be enraged about how shitty of a game it is.

Nothing wrong with anime taedaeys in general, but you're the reason they are every freaking where or even the ONLY THING LEFT IN ANY JAPANESE GAME. WHERE IS THE GAME EGGMAN? YOU SAID THERE WERE GAMES !

jrpgs were for faggots and women back then and they are for faggots and women now. if you're playing jrpgs as an adult you have some serious issues. the games aren't engaging, difficult or have interesting narratives. the games can play themselves which is why they have always been popular with women and actual retards. you barely even play the games anyway. jrpgs are cinematic garbage and the proto cancer of the soyny cinematic trash we have today. jrpgs are not only garbage games for garbage people, but have caused irreparable damage to the industry by popularizing cinematic trash. fuck you, weeaboo faggot

Sin always seeks to pull you in deeper and deeper until you hit peak degeneracy. Normally nature would take care of that, or fellow brothers would put you out of your misery but in the days of unnatural individualisation the only thing that will end it is suicide.

Stay safe.

My general feelings on Berseria is that its Zestiria with its ideas done a whole lot better. The game still has a lot of problems that stem from its modern Tales dna, but it was at least a marked improvement over the previous one, just remember to play on PC so you can crank up your map movement speed with cheat engine, holy fuck these areas are so fucking huge with absolutely fuck all to do in them

>jrpg with encounters that are non-random

>overwhelming majority of maps are narrow corridors with enemies that spawn in 10 feet from you or have their ai set to 'run up players ass at 100 MPH'

>thus largely obviating the point of making the encounters non-random

What did other JRPG developers think when they saw how much acclaim Chrono Trigger got? Did it go no deeper than "If we make our game non-random encounters, they'll like it too!" Did they not get that maybe there was a reason WHY people liked it? Like for example, making encounters on-random would mean you can actually avoid them, and make things more challenging for yourself?
