TheOriginalEd posted:Jeanne d'arc was a great little strategy title for the psp that was underacclaimed. I can agree with that--it's a game I picked up on a whim and found myself drawn into, at least until FFXIII came out and I focused on beating that during some time off from work. It's an admittedly different look at the Joan of Arc legend, and I think they didn't do too badly in converting it over. I'd love to go back and work some more on it, but my PSP has decided to go missing on me.

Jadz posted:... With the exception of the first paragraph (I actually liked the change of pace that XII's combat system brought, especially since you could set up your own gambits), I agree with the poster above. FF3/FF6 gets a playthrough a year, Chrono Trigger about every eighteen months (though with the DS remake, that might become a yearly thing until/if FF6DS is released).

GreenBuckanneer posted:Hrm...I did like 10 of these sidequests (there's 60 of them? not loving bothering till I get a chocobo to roam around that's for sure) in FF13's chapter 11 but I think I'm ready to move on. Since no one else picked up on this.... Yes, after you beat the final boss you can resume the game from Pulse, and finish side-quests/leveling in the Crystarium/achievement hunting/etc. On my copy I've put in about 15 hours since beating the game working on powering up my weapons to take out a Long Gui without spamming Death with Vanille. No luck yet (also haven't played it in a few months), but it's on my backlog of things to do with it.

The Black Stones posted:That's pretty much all you needed to say. Having played both games, I prefer FF13 far more to Star Ocean: TLH. Yeah, 13 was too linear, but I actually preferred the combat to TLH. Perhaps that's just me, though. Though the list of things wrong with TLH is something I can agree with (especially Lymle), and the plot seems a bit "meh" in my opinion.

DeathBySpoon posted:I know I'm late to the game here, but I just got a PSP the other day and as such have a huge backlog of games to play now. I got FFT and Jeanne D'Arc and played each for about an hour or so- FFT feels really clunky but I like the plot, and Jeanne D'Arc is just fantastic in every aspect so far. FFT is also kind of hard to look at because the text is really blurry and it looks like it doesn't run at the PSP's native res, but I'm not sure. What's everyone's thoughts on these two games and what other RPGs should I look for? Not specifically SRPGs, I'm up for pretty much everything. A western RPG or two would be nice as well. Cannot recommend Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth and Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together enough. Both are quite good and should work well for you. While I am a fan of FF4, I'm not sure I can recommend the PSP port. The original game is ported over rather well, but I'm not entirely sold on the After Years content. If it's something you wanted to try, though, you could certainly do worse.

pw pw pw posted:I did see a used Revenant Wings... Was that game any good? Would it be lost on me without having played through ffXII? Do yourself a favor and skip it. I'll cop to being a huge fan of just about anything Final Fantasy and I just could not get into this game for anything. If it played fore like a FFT game I'd be more lenient on it, but as it stands, it's not really worth your time or money. Just my opinion.

Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth (port of the original Valkyrie Profile on PS1) would be good to pick up. The aforementioned Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together is also worth it. In the same vein, I'd also recommend Jeanne D'Arc and Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions (ported and retranslated FF Tactics). Note that load times may become a problem. May also consider the first two Star Ocean games as well, though I'm basing that off of the console version of Star Ocean: The Second Story.

I just got ROF and can confirm you can set your difficulty at the start of the game. Only on Chapter 3 but still getting the hang of the combat system.

BadAstronaut posted:Hey, my memory is a little fuzzy here, but what games had the main enemy as your brother or childhood best friend, and this was the big reveal at the end? I know Baldur's Gate played on this, but for some reason I'm thinking Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic did too. Were there any Dungeons and Dragons games where this was the case, or anything in the Final Fantasy series? Final Fantasy II comes to mind. FF IV to a limited scope (Cecil/Golbez) as well. Edit: vv Fair point. Then again, I've tried to forget a lot of FFIV because of The After Years. vv ShadowedFlames fucked around with this message at 13:39 on Sep 11, 2013 |

I’m waiting somewhat impatiently for Tactics Ogre: Reborn. I got all achievements earlier this year for Fell Seal: Arbiter’s Mark, which is the closest to Tactics Ogre/Final Fantasy Tactics I’ve come across in years, and it gets a nod of approval from me for anyone looking for a FFT would-be in the lead up to TO:R. The DLC expansion for Fell Seal allows for monsters to have different variants/classes as well, with a main and sub-job like human units can have which really sat well with me when I played through. I’m hesitant to get deep into a honest attempt to beat FFT—my last one on original hardware got lost in early chapter 4 due to memory card issues—or even to hook up my Vita TV for Let Us Cling Together or Jeanne d’Arc with the aforementioned TO:R being under a month away. I intend to put a large number of hours into Reborn given my relative lack of disposable income for gaming, and I don’t want to burn myself out on the genre knowing how much content is coming in four weeks in a single game. In non-SRPG news, I’m slightly disappointed in Valkyrie Elysium, as it’s not nearly as RPG as I’d have hoped given the other three games in the series. Personal opinion, it feels like the writing isn’t as decent in this as in Lenneth/Silmeria, or even Covenant of the Plume (though that could be debated). Maybe I should give the second Voice of Cards game a go; if it’s similar to the first one that will be a nice filler before I lose far too much time to Denam and the Walister struggles.

Zurai posted:Fell Seal is on sale on Steam for $7.50 right now. It's gotten reasonable reviews and gets compared to Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre, so it seems like a decent pickup for the price. Of course, the Tactics Ogre remake is coming in a couple of weeks, which is probably why they're putting it on sale now. This is a drat good price for this game, in my opinion (see also a few pages back where I suggested it for anyone wanting to get ready for Tactics Ogre: Reborn). Delsaber posted:
The speed part of this quote is also accurate. I played at 1.5x speed the majority of the time so that’s one thing to also consider.

WaltherFeng posted:Dropped Valkyrie Elysium around chapter 6 because the game is pretty much a whole lot of nothing and the combat itself isn't quite good enough to carry the whole game. That’s pretty much where I dropped it, too. First I’ve heard about any potential DLC though.

Welp, I’ve added Troubleshooter to the wishlist, thanks y’all for discussing it here and bringing my attention to it. Need to see if my low-end rig at home can run it given it’s an i5-2400, and it needs an i3-33xx or something. And also that whole pesky “this requires money” thing. This may be what follows Tactics Ogre when I’m done with that, if the machine can run it.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Tactics Ogre Reborn infinite money: At the start of ch3, you can buy the Ranged Weapons 2 recipe from the shop. This let's you craft the Baldur Blow Gun. It takes 2450 goth to craft. It sells for 6400 goth. There’s a slightly slower method but it can be done in Chapter 2 after getting Ways of the Gerges, if you wanted it earlier. Mutedart Blowgun: 2270 to craft, sells for 4100. A full stack of 999 nets you about 1.8 million goth in profit.

Arzaac posted:God I'm not thinking about the games coming out next year, I'm still dealing with all the games released this year I feel this. Tactics Ogre is going to take me until the New Year to platinum (thanks to work killing my brain and ruining my time to play in evenings), then I want to go back to actually get Live a Live and Front Mission 1 remake, and somewhere in there I need to play noted non-RPG God of War Ragnarok…and then RPG-related Final Fantasy Theatrhythm: Final Bar Line to tide me over until actual RPG FFXVI. That basically covers through July and I’m not even sure what else will catch my eye in the interim! Edit: gently caress, forgot Octopath II was next year! Add that to the list…
