ExiledTinkerer posted:http://www.decklinsdemise.com/news.php Incredibly long in the making, but almost done as far as "expansions that essentially redo the source and then some with much content". Probably one of the things I'm most looking forward to in this regard assuming it can make the October release date. If they iron out the bugs and make the MP slightly less retarded, it could be the best RPG ever.

Miketopus posted:Anyway, it depends. Certain games, like Tales of Phantasia, are traditional SNES RPGs with something about them that's just compelling. I don't even like the other Tales games that much, but Phantasia was fantastic.

If you're happy with singleplayer, Torchlight is the absolute best mechanically, Titan Quest is a close runner up and has co-op, but with less interesting loot and no randomly generated dungeons. Of course, all that is until Diablo 3 reclaims the throne in a couple of months. casual poster posted:Is DOA like oblivion?

Man I am shocked at all the love Legend of Mana is getting, I remember when it came out it was completely torn apart because it didn't have a big angsty JRPG story or huge world map. Personally I think its the best game in the series, I love the ridiculous degree of customization and the short, mostly unrelated quests. A loving blast in coop, too.InnercityGriot posted:When I made my not deep comment, I was referring more to the combat, but you're right that the story system can be really deep and hard to figure out.

The Black Stones posted:I know I'll get poo poo for it. But I like Atelier Rorona. I think it shouldn't have been a 60$ (Canadian) game, but it's nice looking, has vibrant colours, and I loving LOVE trying to find as much random poo poo as I can so I can make other random poo poo. I'll sit around and find as many jobs as I can and then see which ones will all be doable just by going to certain places. Samurai Sanders posted:

Its not just anime cutscenes, its also missing the in-engine polygonal stuff. All plot development was replaced with talking heads. Pretty big mark against it imo, because that stuff is half the reason I like Persona. Its a much better game mechanically though, adopting a bunch of Persona 4's pleasant improvements like direct party control. I haven't played Trails in the Sky yet, but Tactics Ogre and Persona are both some of the best SRPGs and JRPGs respectively, and the PSP versions are the definitive way to play those games. You can't go wrong either way, get whichever has the kind of gameplay that appeals to you more.

It doesn't even get that anime-philosophical until like the 3rd act, I remember being really impressed with how mundane the first 2 parts were. When the game is all about a tariff dispute with the baron of Animeland or whatever. Battle system in Eternal Sonata owns though, one of tri-*'s finest.

HondaCivet posted:I don't know why but I've been itching for some Disgaea . . . I'm trying to decide if I should pick up the PSP port of 2 over PSN, or if I should wait for the Vita port of 3 which is coming in April. Normally I'd just wait for the shiny newer game but it seems like people have been lukewarm about 3, especially in comparison to 2. What do you guys think? Pretty sure popular opinion goes 4 > 2 > 1 > 3 these days. Haven't played 4 yet though, I only just got a PS3.

MockingQuantum posted:I like games that treat random encounters like a war of attrition, requiring you to conserve resources because you know there's gonna be a major boss smackdown at the end. I can't think of any games like this, but I know they exist, and I remember dungeons being tense and enjoyable because of it.

MockingQuantum posted:Has anyone played SMT: Devil Survivor Overclocked? I really want to play the first Devil Survivor, and I have a 3DS, so I feel like I should take advantage of the extra content, but I'm pretty sure there were 12 copies of the game ever made. New ones are going on Amazon for $58 minimum, and the nearest copy I can find in any chains is 60 miles away.
