>video games are dead

>>5357762
To me the are. Last console I owned was PS3.

>>5357772
last console i owed was ps1 because tomb raider and resident evil were the only games, i guess ff7 came out later but it wasnt an exclusive so i got it on pc instead, never bought another console

>>5357752

Dragon Quest Xi says hi.

>saga frontier 2
>legend of mana
>threads of fate
It hurts.

>>5357782
Unironically gave me hope for square and for the genre in general. I just pray they don't fuck it up with final fantasy XVI

>>5357782
>>5358003
Are you fucking kidding me, that game is completely generic. I have seen abandoned rpg maker projects by 12 year olds with better gameplay. Fucking weeabos

>I use sweeping hyperbole to conduct all my arguments and don't understand why nobody takes me seriously
fucking sigh

>>5358015
DQ is completely mediocre, I don't understand how weeb trash glorifies that shit series so goddamn much.

>>5358010
DQXI with hard mode enabled is literally the best JRPG ive ever played mechanically speaking

>>5358129
>grind with grind mode enabled is the best grind I've ever grinded

>>5358129
sad if you're not joking

I miss the old FF but i understand the change of the industry.

>>5358130
I havent played a lot of stuff that forced me to plan this many moves in advance. You have to exploit every tool you have at hand (speaking of, letting the player respec at any savepoint is such a great decision) and you'll struggle to make any progress against late game bosses if you don't learn how to switch party members at the right moment. When's the last time you played a JRPG with menu driven combat so flexible you could actually feel like you were picking up skills over time? Every character has their utility depending on the kind of battle you fight and I haven't had a single one take the back seat for what felt like a significant amount of time. But I guess all of that stuff would probably fly over your head anyway because all you can see in it is "generic good guy hero fights evil dark bad guy story" or w/e

>>5358135
You can't increase difficulty in jrpgs only tedium. You've only made it more tedious. Kill yourself.

DQXI literally has better, deeper combat than Etrian Odyssey

>>5358148
nope
even 1 had deeper team building, limit mechanics (pep is total shit) and usage of follow-up skills

How can a board with so many JRPG threads be so game iliterate when it comes to talking about JRPGs

>>5358010
It definitely does get shallow at points (think the chosen one trope, the villain having no real motives other than being evil) but beyond that is a fantastic game. The artstyle is great, the dynamic between the characters is among the best I've seen, and just the overall atmosphere really makes for a fun and immersive game. Maybe it's just rose-tinted glasses since 'classic' jrpgs are becoming less and less common in favor of edgier action based stuff but it feels damn nice to have a modern title stick to the tenets of the genre.

>>5357782
I prefer when jrpg are not that talkative

>>5357752
>FF7 & 8 comfier than 9
kill this thread

Splitting hairs

=(

>>5358152
Feeling-based posters don't use their thinking function.

>>5358140
stronk womyn

but it's okay when Japan does it.

>>5358190
Sounds great. I'm holding out for a Switch version because I don't have a PS4 and playing Dragon Quest on PC just seems wrong.

>>5358486
only wimpy ass western fuccboi whitoids are afraid of strong women.

>>5358486
When Japan does it it's because the creator(s) wants a fun character, as opposed to when we do it - because some political agenda demands it.

>>5357795
Threads of fate music is shite mate
No way this games comfy

>>5358628
How the hell is this shit? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1RDicKVO_w

Music and graphics in games are the only things you retards ever talk about and you can't even get your mind straight about them half of the time

>>5358628
u got shit taste nigga

>>5357752
All the talented developers that left square went on to continue creating innovative and fun JRPGs for their own studios/other studios long after Square died. You only have to go and play them.
>>5358003
Play more JRPG's. There's been a bit of rennaisance since about 2017. Also Square didn't make Dragon Quest XI.
>>5358020
There is some good stuff about it. The level designs in the towns is really jaw dropping for eg. But yeah it's painfully traditional..... which is what people seem to love about it.
>>5358628
Incorrect.

>There's been a bit of rennaisance since about 2017.
Have any good recommendations? And yeah I'm aware it's technically an enix ip since before the merger

I feel like no one ever talks about musashi. Set me straight if I’m wrong. But I feel like it’s one of those games hardly anyone played. Or at least only tried the demo on a PlayStation sampler disc.

PFFFFFFT hahah, there are people who actually believe there are good games after 2014

>3 fucking yous
Seething weebs with shit taste or bad ears or both

>>5360659
Bump that down to 2007, you fag zoomer.

>>5358146
Let him have fucking fun with the game you dimwit, it's not tedious for him on normal so it makes sense that raising the difficulty give him a challenge

>>5360729
There were still some good games during 7th gen retard

>>5360752
The most underrated and hidden of gems right here, bois.

Radiant Historia came out in 2010 and it really gave me the feeling of mid 90s jRPGs. I liked it quite a lot.
Also, it did time travel/parallel worlds travel better than CT/CC did, IMO. But then, I'm /that/ asshole who never really liked CT all that much to begin with.

>>5357752
>there will never be another seiken densetsu but actually good and fun like 3

>>5361965
The thunder never struck again with that series after Legend.

>>5360951
This is giving me golden compass vibes

>>5360521
It's a great game. Feels like a Saturday morning cartoon.
