So I can stay?

>>9528108
Yeah. In reality you can just post whatever you want here.

Fuck that tactical bs and play Ys.

>>9528092
This.

I only see videogames. Go there.

>>9528119
Ys?

>>9528128
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ys_%28series%29

You can start with origin.

Tactics Ogre. It's made by the same team as FFT.

PSP version because it adds a ton of stuff.

>>9528130
It's fine.

>>9528097
>>9528097

maybe this will help

>>9528133
congrats on the marriage

>>9528108
Yes, /jp/ is a Random board after all.

Being /jp/ related, KamiDori, despite the faults, it's really nive. Big Bang Age also has some RPG elements, but it's more of a tactical game.

>>9528138
I want to slap whoever made that. Why would you put mario in with those other games, it just doesn't belong.

>>9528159
They're great RPGs. Have you played them?

>>9528138
Golden Age of Square

>>9528162
No, I am not saying mario is bad, it's just that it doesn't have the same RPG elements as those other games.

>>9528159
Paper Mario is a great JRPG series. An essential I'd say.

>>9528162
The first two are, the wii is a disappointment.

<--

>>9528188
Is that fan art? That looks pretty great.

>>9528172
I don't see how they're out of place. First two Paper Mario games are pretty regular RPGs. Second one if one of my favourite Gamecube games.
Also they're both better than Kingdom Hearts.

Why isn't Mario rpg there? It's even better than Paper Mario.

>>9528190
I think it's official, I'm not sure though.

>>9528190
lol

>>9528204
Secret FF boss, it should be there.

Criminal Girls is a good, recent JRPG.

>>9528071
Make sure to give Super Robot Wars series a spin.

>>9528071
I am a Baldur's Gate fanatic and have been for 12 years now.

>>9528188
I must be getting old. I no longer can deal with hyper-weabu styled modern SRPGs and long for the subtle grace of FFT/Tactics Ogre/Vandal Hearts art styles.

Pic related was the last one I tried and the shoddy voice-acting sealed the deal.

>>9528328

I played that a long time ago. Which girl did you go for?

>>9528328
Eh, the voice cast is one of the main draws of Luminous Arc.

>>9528302

> Super Robot Wars

Exceed localized yet?

>>9528364
Quit during the tutorial. My tolerance for detestable game design choices has gotten lower and lower over the years.

>>9528393

I horribly misread your post. Yeah, it wasn't a very good game and I wouldn't recommend it.

>>9528379
I grew up with SNES/PS1 games that featured little/no voice acting and never got used to it with the successive generations. Every delivered line sounds completely different from what I've imagined. I'd rather have the developers leave the voice acting for the player's imagination.

Not OP but are there any low spec JRPGs on PC?

English preferably but not mandatory as long as it's not really menu heavy or objective based.

>>9528478
Just emulate SNES/PSX/GBA

>>9528478
The only ones I can think of are Wizardry type games which are text heavy. Just use an emulator.

>>9528488
>>9528494

Okay

One vote for Disgaea

You guys suck.

>>9528501
There is Ys if you're OK with action oriented stuff.

I enjoyed Langrisser...

Disgaea!

FIGHT IT OUT

>>9528507

I was thinking more turn based but I guess that'll do.

>>9528557
My 64 used to lag even with the ram expansion. I also never finished it... I should retry.

>>9528557
Holy shit... I'm NOT the only one who fucking played Ogre Battle 64.

Great game. So much nostalgia.

Yggdra Union

Luminous Arc 1 and 2 are pretty good.

Team Fortress 2

>>9532287
it's great on an emulator because you can speed it up when your guys are just marching around the map. also you can use a hex editor to change your chaos frame.

If you're okay with SNES games, give Bahamut Lagoon a shot. Essentially, you're the leader of a resistance group and you're assisted in battle by dragons. You can feed the dragons different items and they change into different forms. I don't remember beating it, but from what I recall, it was a very challenging but fun game with a good story. There's a lot of variety in what you can do with the game and I'm sure it'd be worth your time to check out.

There is also Front Mission you could play. That one has a remake for the DS I'm playing currently. The premise is that you lead a group of mech-piloting mercernaries. You can swap out parts and customize each mecha, or Wanzer as they're called, and there's always a lot to choose from. I'd say that the main draw of the game is the customization, since you can pick between melee, short-ranged, and long-ranged weapons, as well as the different arm, legs, and body parts. It's a little slow, but there's something about it that just keeps you wanting more.

A personal favorite of mine is Live-A-Live. The game lets you pick from seven different stories, each with a different character artist. The stories are very different, with the Bakumatsu chapter focusing on stealth, or the Western chapter focusing on setting up traps, while the Wrestling chapter is a big parody of fighting games. It's really neat and I'd definitely check it out. I doubt it's tactical on the scale that you want it to be, but it's definitely more strategic then the average RPG.

There's also the usual Tactics Ogre and SRW that everyone has mentioned, but I'm sure you've researched them by the time I submit this post.

>If you're okay with SNES games

I'm not.

I prefer post 32-bit and for handhelds GBA or better

>>9532435
You are missing out. The best Fire Emblems are on the SNES.

>>9532425
>Live-A-Live
I just decided to download it on a whim. Thanks, man

>>9532435

Well, if that's the case, I'm afraid I may to have to recommend a few remakes, not that that's all I'll recommend.

Shining Force was remade for the GBA. It's actually far more improved than the original too. It's a lot like Fire Emblem, except there's more fantasy elements to it, such as different races like dwarves and elves. There's more personal exploration, being that you can talk to characters outside of battle and visit towns and there's a small focus on collecting cards. It's very challenging, so it's worth a look.

There's also the Advance Wars series for the GBA and DS. They're made by the same people who made Fire Emblem. It's not an RPG in anyway, so that may turn you off, but there's more focus on micro-managing and strategy in general. You produce units and have them either capture the enemy HQ or some times to rout them completely. You get to pick a diverse cast of COs, each with their own specialties and strategies, with some being defensive and others focusing on certain units. Days of Ruin for the DS is the most balanced one, but Dual Strike (also for the DS) is my personal favorite. It's very fun.

This is 32-bit (PSX), but I honestly find Vanguard Bandits to be one of my more favored Tactical RPGs. It's a game involving mecha in a fantasy setting and it has a very older anime kind of feel to it. You can build relationships between your party members and give out stats when you level up. There are three possible routes you can take and two of them have multiple endings. It's very much a classic, and I would really hope that you would give it a chance.

>>9532485

And again, there is also also the SRWs you can play. SRWJ is translated and those play essentially like Fire Emblem, so give those a shot. Again, Front Mission was remade for the DS and it's quite challenging, so give that a shot. I'm afraid I've recommended all the ones I have any experience with, but I really wouldn't knock the SNES titles before you try them. The SNES has a lot of quality Turn-based strategy games (like Metal Marines), so it's really a system you should give a chance.

I could also let you know about Power DoLLS, but I'm afraid I've never played it, so I know next to nothing about it, other then you're commanding a group of mech-piloting girls. There's also Metal Gear Acid for the PSP, which I also know nothing about, but I heard that it's card-based while also having an element of stealth. Sorry if I have wasted your time, I just hope that you find something that catches your eye!

>>9532461

It's really no problem! I am happy to share my hobbies with others.

Tactics Ogre is all you need after FFT. I don't like Disgaea as much as I used to and wouldn't compare it too much to FFT.

Anyone who hasn't played Radiant Historia yet should. It's the best story I've seen in a game whose plot is so heavily influenced by a gimmick.

>>9532507
I will second this. I also loved the soundtrack.

Also Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume.

>>9528071
Jagged Alliance

Sengoku Rance and Nectarbutts are good (eroge) SRPGs.

>>9528504
That's because it's more like GRINDaea

>>9532425
>If you're okay with SNES games

I don't think this is worded correctly. Bahamaut Lagoon is a really bad example of what the SNES can do graphically.

>>9532507
Eh, it's pretty mediocre. Got repetitive extremely fast.

>>9528111
If I have W7 using a VirtualBox is obligatory right?
Anyway I'd like to play Growlanser 1, is it worth playing (and above all long or relatively short) ?
I wanted to play it due to Growlanser 4, after it I'll try some Fire Emblem titles.

>>9528390
She's too sexy for me, why aren't there many doujin about her? ;-;

There's always Silent storm, if you like killing nazis with power armor.

Disgaea, front mission

>>9528094
thanks bro.

I could never get into Disgaea. The first few hours I'd love it and be excited to play then I would just lose interest. It isn't the grind either. I've put at least 250-300 hours into the Etrian Odyssey games.

>>9532662
Same here.
