Altina is the best party member in the entire Cold Steel sega. Not only in terms of usefulness and utility but also character development.
>>1634957Which game and what difficulty?
>>1635018Two Mirage and one Time element is bad now?
I was on the Laura train till she got recasted on CS4 and I jumped ship for Altina.
I always just use Altina because I'm too lazy to try and stun enemies on the field from the back. I used to use Millium for the same reason.
>>1634744Her order is very useful, having perfect reflect for a while is awesome. Cheesing super bosses early with Altina and Emma spamming reflects is hilarious.
Why are yanderes so uncommon in RPGS?
Sacred Stones had like 4 male ones.
>>1647200Because most people can't handle them.
>>1650860Yanderes that want to kill you are dogshit.
>>1650860It's just like the people who describe themselves as "into femdom" but are really just lonely vanilla dudes who fantasize about a girl doing all the social/sexual heavy lifting. Mention any femdom hallmarks and they'll squeal about how disgusting/off-putting it really is to them.
>>1650860>>1651070There have always been multiple yandere types. The ones that want to kill the target of their love are a minority.
God, this game was such a masterpiece in terms of music and (debatively) story. Shame the Esper system sucked.
>>1651018VI's was better.
>>1651018>>1651052That’s not VIII
>>1651006>Shame the Esper system suckedWhat was wrong with it?
1-5 are great but I think 6 is when they really started to get ambitiousThey didn't succeed in all areas, like you said the Esper system is half-baked and ends up devolving gameplay to magic spam and undermining the individual character abilities, but the operatic theming, sheer amount of content, Uematsu going ham on the soundtrack, all of it comes together
>>1651006>Shame the Esper system suckedstill better than IV,VII,VIII and IX systems
Why don't you use non-human party members?
>>1643691BoF is kind of cheating because the games by default have no human characters.
>>1647099I was having a hard time finding any non-official art of decent size and quality.He doesn't get enough art in general it seems.
>>1643348I always use them, even if they kind of suck.
>>1647221>by defaultTechnically true I suppose, but Humans do exist once interbreeding between clans dilutes their heritage too much, or they "renounce" their clan inherited powers.Everyone from Ryu's village in the first game are technically human since they gave up their dragon powers, and Nina's entire race took a hit when she fucked the original Ryu and their mixed kids all lost the ability to turn into giant birds which spread throughout the entire wing clan.I don't think Nina even has wings in BoF5 because they degenerated so much.
>>1643348Kimahri's a mixed-role character in a game that has great rewards and absolutely no punishment for specialization - he gets outpaced in pretty much every role he can fill.
>11 years>still hasn't been surpassedI'm tired of replaying it bros, Cyberpunk 2077 was supposed to be the one
>>1651197played it like once then dropped it. what went wrong with gwent?
>>1651197What I mean is, they never tackled anything of the scale that a fully open world, first person immersive RPG with custom player characters would imply.Witcher has some good element of choice, but Geralt is still his own person. The open world in Witcher 3 is large, but you can barely interact with it in any meaningful way.V having a voice actor and the way he talked in the first E3 trailer is what threw up big red flags for me.
>>1649386Haven't picked this game up in three months. I remember liking the combat, and Geralt's pretty badassm but the whole "fetch me ten drowner dicks from the swamp" sidequests over and over again just burnt me out. Only reason I picked it up in the first place was because I heard the second game was way better, and I wanted context for it before I played it.
>>1651214>fully open worldNo true Scotsman? >first person immersive RPG with custom player charactersGeralt was 'custom', if fact, he is way more custom than any bullshit character you could make in Skyrim, for example. >you can barely interact with it in any meaningful wayThis means fucking nothing.
>replay the game>it's another cyborg cowboy Every time
To be completely honest, the first 2 fallout games are some of the best games I've ever played. The dark atmosphere of both games is awesome.
>>1648455Holy fuck git gud
>>1648455>I keep making stupid choices and getting punished for them, why cant I keep making the same stupid choices? I dont want to think about the consequences of my actions but still insist on playing a classic CRPG.Holy fuck the zoomers are lost
>>1648455I can't agree with you more. The only way I was able to beat fallout 1 was by stealing t51 power armor
>>1648550can't say if 10/10 bait or retard trying way too hard to fit with "le epic contrarian" /v/ meme
>>1648198these games make me feel like a brainlet, I keep getting filtered by the starting areas, like as soon as I get to the world map I start getting ass raped left and right until I uninstall, I wonder if I should just give up on not reading guide and make a recommended build or simply lower the difficulty
Anyone else have a soft spot for the first FF protagonist to actually have a personality? Given the limitations of the SNES/Super Famicom he didn't really quite get the exposition that later protags would get but he's more three dimensional than even many modern RPG heroes. He may not be the FF hero but he was an important one.
>>1645299He's my favorite FF protag.
>>1649557True, honestly the Cecil arc is fine as it is. The Kain act is the one needs to be cleaned up, currently he flip flops too much. He needs one clear betrayal and one clear redemption instead of three small ones.That or weave the small betrayals better into the story, and make his arc about how you can't always shake the sins of your past and the demons that haunt you in a single spectacular act, but that you may need many small attempts and false starts before you can finally break through.
Cecil felt like one of the few fully realized adults in the franchise and it was shocking to learn he was only 20 years old. Just an amusing contrast to other protags who are around the same age.That said, and the usual notion of "japan cant into age" aside, its hilarious and interesting imagining his growing career as a fucking child soldier + dark knight. Then again, we have FF8...
>>1649701FF8 is not that bad? Squall is just graduating from military high school (really should be college, but this isn't so egregious). He leads a squad of basically equals because he is the top scorer among them. Quistis is too young to be a teacher and this is an actual plot point. Squall being made to take charge of the Garden during the fight with the other one makes no sense and that's also pointed out.

>>1651077Do you want another rushed nightmare like OS1, where the game falls apart as soon as you clear the first act and gets progressively worse with each few hours? Let Swen do his thing.
>>1651077Don't worry, I think they'll finish that essay soon. Just be patient.
>>1651077I'd rather wait than get rushed shit.
>>1651077Early Access anon, they said that they aren't going to be adding new content apart from new classes, weapons, and spells.
>>1615595yeah you are always going to miss some story related cutscenes/quest i think they are not yet implemented but there are mods that can let you choose some origin characters and they have new scenes, like the vampire fag having a nightmare where he remember (dreamt?) his master and beg to spare his companion
What's the best game in the Dragon Quest Monsters series?
>>1644634DQV kek, idc if it really counts, it's basically the first and best one.
>>>/vg/falcom
>>1646550please respond
>>1644634I'm fond of the Joker games, can't quite get into the older ones
DQM 3 pro is my favorite I play it using a translation program on my phone to read the text boxes but it’s clunky as fuck when it comes to moves. I wish the team that did the non pro version English patch would do pro.
>>1649513I have a Dark Elf Corsair I'm playing in a warhammer fantasy ttrpg group. Halfway through character creation we realized he was just Crocodile Dundee because I was taking all the hunter abilities, so I roleplay as an Aussie every session.
>>1649531kek
>>1651081Are you like this?
>>1649513You also forgot:Underdark/Australia is a dangerous shithole filled with violent, poisonous wild animals.Drow Society/Australia is ruled by Lawful Evil (yet retarded) tyrants.

This is the first early Atlus game worth playing in current year, everything else is extremely outdated./thread
>>1649767>Majin Tenseiyeah good smartphone game
I really liked KMT and SMT2
>>1650850impossible, everything but the music and cheesy plot are outdated.
>>1651091>outdated Who cares?
>>1651098everyone who isn't living in 90s
Why do semi-boss enemies in this game have like +18 attack bonus when you can with martial class reach +7, AC of 27 when you can have 21 with tower shield and fullplate and spells that minimum deal 50 damage when your maximum HP is 45 on high hit dice?I have completed the game using minmax builds but anything other than minmax seems to be assblasted on solo.
>TFW promising to travel the world with Lelianna after the blight is over knowing I'm going to sacrifice myself this time
>>1650459This. Platonic relationships are underrated
>>1650420Just gals being pals
>killing yourself for no particular reason even when you are aware that it is not a necessity whatsoeverHow is this sad or compelling? It's like Fallout 3 death by radiation everyone else is immune to all over again.
>>1650420Gay is okay between women friends. Sapphism is a beautiful thing and I'm tired of pretending it's not.
>>1650752The alternative is relying on demon magic.
What am I in for? Yes, I'm getting the PS3 version so I can play on my VITA.
>>1650730holy cope
>>16505344 was better
>>1650534a fine VN
>>1650771t. Never played a VN
>>1650730>And the new OP sucksThe animation sucks, the song’s about the same. All the new songs are actually pretty good. All the updated versions of the Persona games have worse OPs than the originals.
