/vrpg/ is a place to discuss all types of role-playing video games, including single-player, multi-player, and massively multi-player, turn-based and real-time action, western-style and JRPG.

Does this mean RPGs are banned on other video game boards? No! /vrpg/ is just a separate board specifically focused on RPGs where discussions about your favorite games can thrive.

Please familiarize yourself with the rules and remember to use the spoiler function where appropriate!

Please note that, like /v/, "Generals"—long-term, one-after-the-other, recurring threads about a specific game are not permitted on /vrpg/. Such threads belong on >>>/vg/.

FF4 is really good too. I actually was really fond of the steam version played on hard, even tho I grew up on the SNES original

All of them up to and including 13, which is when I figured its a good time to stop bothering. I grew up with them.
>None of the PRs are better than the originals.
Absolutely wrong. This is the definitive way to experience this game.

Am I supposed to jump through each character's story as I meet them, or is it better that I finish them one by one? Right now I'm just kinda wandering aimlessly through the map.

Honestly the one major flaw in their storytelling. I still liked it for what it was but the octopath system doesn't need to be continued.

Should have used an anime style on the vein of DQ XI or Ni no Kuni but i guess that ship sailed when they did AC all those years ago.

The way i see it people just wanted to believe. It´s the only explanation for the current situation. I guess people just didn´t expect it to be THAT underwhelmingly disappointing but hey, at least they woke up and didn´t support the next entry so if SE suits don´t have their heads too buried into their own asses they may take the hint.

Only when games go back to 2000s level budgets will gaming be healed. This modern era with its budgets of $400,000,000+ with 500+ employee teams and games that need to sell 1,000,000 copies to break even, and one game flopping tanking developers who have been in the industry for decades is fucking bullshit and needs to die.

>Fucking Yoko Taro hasn’t released a new console game in 7 years.
People really need to stop expecting a freelancer who isn't employed by SE to keep making games for them and save the company with a 2nd magical fluke..
He and Saito work well together but Taro is a freelancer and Saito is the man employed by SE from Enix and that man, that man kept extremely busy too.
The oft repeated cries about nothing since Automata are really tiring at this point, the man isn't bound by oath to save SE.


The man went on to create 3 very good games in 2021 and 2022 and they also released on consoles btw.
Aside from that he worked on Sino from 2017, did a full fledged alliance raid packed full of story for FFXIV that could comfortably sit inside the drakenier universe and then alongside VoC started work on a new NieR game that served as a perfect epilogue to the previous two, greatly expanded the lore and gave it an ending that can lead into a fourth NieR game. How much could a shitty EOS bait gacha game do in the space of 3 years? You tell me. For all the cries it wasn't a real NieR game they sure fell the second the third arc got into full swing. If you had any doubts still he was happy to pull the rug away and place you on the moon with 10H.
Outside of all that shit he's done for SE, he's wrote multiple short stories for them, wrote multiple stage plays, written new material for concerts, given them a manga to publish and worked on an independent stage play, anime and even a 404'ed gacha for SEGA.

The man has kept very busy. So has Saito. Don't forget he produced the megaflop Babylon's Fall for SE featuring his long lost Saito brother (Kenji Saito; Metal Gear Rising REVENGEANSU).
I get you really want a sequel to Automata but man, he's kept very, very fucking busy for a man in his 50's.

Why do you guys act like RPG games is a challenging genre? I see a lot of people say, "Have you even played x game?" As if people would lie about playing something? I don't get it.

If you can, name some RPG's you consider being the hardest. Because quite frankly, I don't think it's all that hard.

>Why do you guys act like RPG games is a challenging genre?
Most people don't. But sometimes people discuss relative difficulty between (usually similar) games.
Discussions about relative difficulty are almost always derailed by people talking past each other and not understanding (much less agreeing on) what challenge even means in an RPG in the first place. Faggot OP is a perfect example of this but this thread has plenty of examples.
>>3473535 >>3473543
Case in point, fags immediately generalizing that RPGs don't take "skill" (whatever that means) and anything requiring more attention than Chrono Trigger is just "tedious and cumbersome".
>>3473559
Obligatory ARPG fag too mentally crippled to do anything but apply action game standards.
>>3473534
>dungeon crawlers and whatnot, so they're magically no longer RPGs.
Dungeon Crawlers are RPGs (mostly), although sometimes lack the game world detail expected in an RPG.
And again it's not clear what this guy imagines "challenge" should be in an RPG.

well
i fucking did it
i may have had to basically cheat by using a +20 youkai sword that i'd been grinding, but all that really ended up protecting me from was a handful of ambushes: just using items properly, hurrying up and figuring out what stuff does so i can use it, and other gameplay stuff was the bigger factor in making this happen. though of course i say all of that but having a +20 AOE sword really does make an obvious difference.
really fun game, i generally don't care much for roguelikes but this one was quite, dare i say, soulful. teared up at the end. great stuff.
guess i'll play shiren 2 on gb next lol
>>
>>3473590
also, to detail a little bit more, the biggest jumpscare was probably the huge jump in damage (max level grim reapers are insane) and the biggest danger ended up being that i nearly starved. while walking around starving, i luckily had saved like 3 otogirisous and an entire pot of backs, and even with all of that i barely made it.
kinda wanna try and win without a cheat sword this time...
>>
>>3473590
>shiren 2 on gb
Shiren 2 is for the Nintendo 64, the GB game is different, and the GBC game with a 2 in its title is yet another game

>cheat by using a +20 youkai sword that i'd been grinding
That's one of the intended ways to beat the game. If you can beat it without entering the warehouse you get a secret extra reward though

>>3473832
If your chars are already at the TotSC xp cap (161k iirc) and all you care about it min maxing, all you’d be missing is I believe one additional wisdom tome, and any of the importable items that you don’t have (you only get three, there’s a list of possibilities and a default choice if you don’t have any of them)

However, Durlags in particular is a really cool dungeon, and the best one in the game, so if you enjoy dungeon delving you won’t want to miss it. But it’s side content and has no bearing on the plot, so if you’re really sick of bg1 you won’t be screwing yourself. However, it’s a pretty good expansion, and I would suggest playing through it and finishing it all. Going from late game 1 to early game bg2 will be a big shift down in power level, if you care about that, before it ramps back up. Also, bg2 had a different feel and style than bg1, bg2 feels more like shuffling through a theme park of dramatic set pieces, rather than bg1 feeling like a proper campaign. I like both games but I wouldn’t be in a hurry to skip the rest and jump into bg2, unless you think that sounds more fun and appealing to you.
