Why hasn't japan made any 1st person RPGs of the, and may Allah forgive me for using that term, "immersive sim" style when it's obvious that's the next step in the evolution of the genre?Why are 1st person RPGs comparitevly rare in general when you factor out the bethesda brand of bland blandness?
>>254461First-person games in the modern day are a lot more expensive to make. Since you can see everything up really close, a high fidelity of asset is required to maintain immersion. The more zoomed out the camera is, the less fidelity is expected as the individual assets become harder to see - in fact, low quality assets may be beneficial and help the game to run better.This is why, since the current gen started, you've seen so many shitty licensed tactics games (Peaky Blinders, Dark Crystal, Narcos) - with how zoomed out the camera in these games are, they can get away with a lot in terms of asset quality and reuse.
>>254461They are filthy consoleniggers and games with 1st person on consoles are harder to play and prove that gamepad is inferior.
>>261791I've observed that styles of RPGs fit pretty nicely into Orson Scott Card's MICE quotient (http://www.sfcenter.ku.edu/Workshop-stuff/MICE-Quotient.htm). As such, I propose we rename the genres accordingly:JRPGs and most JRPG-likes: ERPGs (Event RPGs), as generally speaking they focus on an idea or ideological conflictWRPGs and most WRPG-likes: CRPGS (Character RPGs), as they most often focus on building a character and fulfilling a roleEurojank and most Eurojank-likes: MRPGS (Milieu RPGS, Milieu meaning world or setting) as they tend to focus on exploring a world and its worldbuilding.
>>261915I think those cathegories are too general and there's too many exceptions to have them in consideration. At the end we have our perception conditioned to what games we had here and were succesful in our market, so FFVII becomes some sort of standard when it doesn't necessarily had to be like that. I read once that you can find more differences between two japanese rpg's than between a jrpg and a wrpg and the more games I know the more I tend to agree. I preffer to use more words or refering to other games more than using labels that are too limiting.

Is this a good entry into FF? My only experience with the series was playing a bit of VII a while ago.
>>262268XIII is not better, shut the fuck up. I'm not saying it's bad, there's worse games in the series for sure but it's not better than X
>>261507What does it matter? None of the games is connected anyway, except for a few exceptions.
>>262277The truth hurts.
>>262209>Just don't be THAT guy who praise this as your favorite.But many do
>>262209But it is my favourite.
ITT: games that let you play as a psionic
>>262189not sure what you mean by character grinderUnderrail can be hard if you make a shitty build (spreading your skills too much). However pure PSI builds are very easy to play and really strong. So strong that they are going to be nerfed in the coming update, so might as well experience them now.
>>262056Fireball is a spell that creates fire. Pyrokinesis is about controlling fire that already exists.
>>261891ADoM
>>262253that depends on how lazy the game designers are
Would you consider cipher psionic?
>>255337Looks a whole lot better than it did. Cyber samurai kino may be possible now.
>>260350I play a decent amount of racing games but even I still need to play a game myself to get a real feel for the handling so I won't know how it really feels until it's out and I can try it myself or final comparisons can be made.
>>256304Yep, Refused is just not on the level. Why the fuck did they take such a memorable melody and made it into some throwaway screaming song?
Any news about VR support yet?
>>262184they want the zoomer audience.
>the villain joins you to fight against an even greater threat
>the villain is completely faultless but so are you>circumstances beyond anyone’s control have created a situation where the only way forward is for one to kill the other>the villain asks you to finish his work should he be the one to lose
>>260714>the villain asks you to remember him for he once existed
>>255809>you even find an entirely new party member inside said sea monster gut dungeon who was foreshadowed earlier in the gameFF2 gets a lot of shit but it has plenty of fun moments.
>>260246lol
>>254354>MGQP p3 NEVER EVERI need it!I need it now!
So SoA is pretty fun. Burned it cause I heard it was one of the best rpgs for the dreamcast. Is this true? I havent played any other, any good rpg recommendations for the dreamcast?
>>260090prepare to get killed by purist fagbois
>>260090The soundtrack in that version is ass though. Otherwise, I would recommend that. It really just depends on what you like more.
I really liked this game as a kid but going back to it as an adult I have to admit how bland and generic it is.
>>260838you can mod to change the soundtrack
>>260896That's the appeal though like Legend of Dragoon they don't make it like this anymore.
What are your expectations for this? Played the first one last year and loved it enough to immediately replay. Paradox making it is weird as hell though
>>259113She looks like a man
>>260406All good
>>261470Is anyone else bugged by the lack of acting by the characters in the released gameplay? In the first Bloodlines, every character was mad expressive. They moved their faces, hands, bodies. Meanwhile the B2 characters shown were just standing there, their faces barely moving, their bodies and hands still. I hope they're working on that.
fascists aren't welcome in our setting!>Believe they have a superior bloodline, humans are inferior beings>Might makes right, survival of the fittest>Believe in tradition/the old ways>Hierarchical power structure based on age, wealth, power>feeding equivalent to raping/killing someoneUnironically a weird setting to try and make woke. The first game had solid writing to fall back on, that's my concern. I don't care about the politics of a game if it's written well but I have zero confidence in the writing being competent.
>>262057Nah I noticed it too. It just seems like bad mocap this time. Source engine did face animations really well so it's not surprising that it's not as good this time with them using UE4 instead of Source. Pretty disappointing since the great character animations were something that people still talked about and brought up when talking about how modern games have gone backwards.
Hi.
>>257944Ah yes, Debisama TV series.
>>258416>tfw want to confirm whether pic related is legitimately what he says in Japanese>can't be arsed to fire up SMT2 and spend the hour or two it'll take to get to where he can be encountered>tfw not a single 実況player on youtube triggers the dialogue
>>257862
What's he imagining?
>>258560https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BiVIaoFXgE
Can we talk about Fairy Tail?
>>258869Ryza took half an year to get a 40% discount
>>250810holy kek
>>248735>spoiler pic is a mimictook me a while to see
After updating my Nvidia drivers for Tranny Zero Dawn (which I promptly uninstalled) Fairy Tail opens to a permanent black screen. What do I do?
>>262217Right, shader compilation. Still would be nice if it actually told you what is was doing.
What's your favorite ARPG? Mine is kingdom hearts 2 final mix. But I'm hoping that SMTV will be similar to the smt raidou games, would be fun to break the turn based cycle again
>>260986you're insane
>>260986>Mainline action gameTake it easy on the alcohol bro.But as a real answer to the question, of all fucking things, Code Vein. Somehow I ended up enjoying that more than every platinum game, DMC and KH2FM.
>>260986its not an RPG if you cant make your own character and are forced to play a premade one, like in witcher or uncharted
Nioh was fun but Nioh 2 is so much better it’s not even funny. The nitty gritty autism in character building puts most modern RPGs to shame with its depth and potential, all while being a fairly deep action game in and of itself.
I just want an ARPG with gameplay as tight, fun, and outright ridiculous as KH2:FMBut without the retarded everything else.I want to die.
Anything you want out of Bravely Default 2?
>>250588same thing I want from all FF5-esque class systems: unique and weird abilities from each class
>>260229I thought BS2 had some pretty well-designed random battles in parts, and shit ones in others. There were a lot of places where there was a good mix of difficulty and counterability. The best part about it was that Astrologian had an ability to prevent ambushes, which removed the most frustrating aspect of BD's fights, getting oneshot without a chance to react.Then they ruined it by including random unavoidable fight chains and counterattacks on completely random enemy types. Why is it sometimes the katana that counterattacks and sometimes the shield guy? Nobody knows. Hated the fucking hot spring cave, too. So much potential for cool battle modifiers, and two of them are just "kill the enemy in 1 turn or lose the fight". And the fucking berserk area, my god.I never felt that single battles were unrewarding, but it was hard to argue with the results when you could do two battles and get the effect of three. Certainly made me feel more incentivized to turn encounters off, skip through the dungeon, and do 3-4 fight chains right at the end.
I just want it to be playable on PC with a decent interface and not cost $95 and ship with six layers of DRM.
I dont really understand, is Bravely Default like a Final Fantasy spin-off?
>>261970It was meant to be a sequel of FF the four heroes of light but it became its own thing halfway through the game's development so yes and no. It's meant to be the equivalent of oldschool FF games.
https://files.catbox.moe/i8ti6f.mp3>yfw we are finally riding hoooooome
>>262373We don't have four magic DPS though. We have three and a piece of "lifestyle content" masquerading as a job.
>>262834So four magic DPS.
>>262832just a few things. and a waking sands ticket i still dotn know how to get.
>>262776i enjoyed the 3rd fight but other than that yeah its overall worse than the copied factory
>>262843No, three. Can't you read anon?
Why does this character want the protagonist to fuck his sister so badly? It kinda comes out of nowhere.
>>259740Melia has a stick so far up her ass she can't even arch her back while taking it from behind and Shulk is too easily caught up in his own thoughts and needs someone to pry for his input.Fiora is the nosy kind of person who can open up Shulk like a book and have him pour out honestly.
>>259809Delusional
>>260363wouldn't it be easier to just admit that you're projecting yourself onto shulk instead of making an idiot out of yourself by trying to win an argument by namecalling
>>251534You think Egil would be cool with Dunban fucking he sister? Like after he decides to live in peace with the people of Bionis.
>>261841Sure, why not, I mean it is Dunban
Necromancer confirmed as next job via minion.
>>262171Are you done posting this shit every day, retard? Kys
>>262174>Are you done posting this shit every dayI just fucking posted it for the first time.
Say what you wantabout Final Fantasy, but at least they're always trying something new.I can guarantee you the next Shin Megami Tensei game will revolve around a blank slate avatar and exactly 3 other human characters who will be generic Law/Neutral/Chaos stand ins and will have no personality other than "hurrr look who lawful/neutral/chaotic I am". Gameplay will be the exact same shit it was since fucking Megami Tensei 1.
>>258318Square is right: the West has exactly zero tolerance for turd-based combat. It's objectively proven by how much """better""" turn-based becomes by skipping attack animations.It's almost as if turd-based fans want to play an action-based combat where their button timings don't matter.
Where’s the FFXV combat system webm?
>>258461>Falcom game talked about moreI honestly have no idea what you're talking about so I'm going to assume it's some autistic general thread that has 3 people obsessing over said game 24/7, and you're very likely one of them.
>>258793>tfw DQ Online 1 was never localized in the westt-they did say they were gonna make an offline version for overseas someday.. r-right?
>>262148Nice way to out yourself new fag.
