So, for whatever reason, I want to try playing Ni No Kuni again. What do I have to do to make this less painful on myself? I stalled out last time on the Alchemy pot boss because my partner kept dying by wandering into his attacks. Also, it felt like I was doing no damage, is the solution to grind more, or are there some really good monsters I should be focusing on?

I finally have a PS3 and I'm in the mood for some decent to bad RPGs. How is Fairy Fencer F?

Cake Attack posted:Decent, i hear, but probably not where i'd start. its more of a not quite at the bottom of the barrel, but getting there kinda rpg I actually had access to a PS3 for a while, so I am getting close to running out of non poo poo/gross RPGs to play. SelenicMartian posted:Ni No Kuni looks pretty and is decent to bad thanks to the dense party AI, grindy sidequests, horrible interface and, you know, Level 5 only making good games by accident. Oh, that reminds me, don't touch either of their White Knight Chronicles ever, there's an almost done LP thread of it, and WKC wishes it could be merely bad. I think I've asked about Ni No Kuni in this thread before. I tried to play it twice, and both times the slow pace and AI killed it for me. I wanted to like it SO much, but it just wasn't happening. alcharagia posted:play Eternal Sonata instead I forgot about the weird Chopin game. Are the fights fun? I'm willing to put up with a lot of dumb poo poo for a good battle system (Tales of Graces f)

Panic! at Nabisco posted:Resonance of Fate is a really loving weird game, you guys. The gameplay gets stale, but I'd say it's worth picking up for the bizarre humor and huge amounts of pretty princess dressup with your characters. Aviators on everyone, always. This looks stupid in the best possible way, and playing dressup is one of my favorite parts of the Tales series. Sold.

I just started the third year of Meruru and I'm at 35 for alchemy and adventure levels. When I try going into Ent forest I can kill the griffin without dying horribly, but the Ent keeps pushing my poo poo in. The only letter I've gotten for this year is about the Ent forest, and I've cleared out everything prior to this. Please tell me there's some content that I've missed that's supposed to bridge this gap.

Oblivion590 posted:The Ent is a major challenge when it first appears, and you aren't supposed to be able to beat it right away. The forest will move around every once in a while until you kill the Ent, and some of its new destinations will not be accessible yet. A lot of content starts showing up around the start of year 4, but I don't remember how much shows up in year 3. It turned out I needed to return to the upper right and lower right corners of the map to get tasks to pop up for them. I wasted about 6 months, but the fact there's 4 years instead of 3 makes me think finishing everything out is just going to be a challenge instead of impossible. Thanks!

Ciaphas posted:I'm enjoying FF13 so far If you thought Escha & Logy's battle system looked good, you can try emulating Mana Khemia 1 and 2 for the PS2. That's where the battle system originally came from, and it's a blast. The story isn't nearly as great, and all the characters in 2 are either idiots or assholes. I personally enjoyed that, but it can turn some people off.

though I'm only up to chapter... 6 ish. But then I've never been much for exploring or complicated mechanics, and frankly would rather just be told a story and have fights in RPGs nowadays, so hey yo.

I just started Shadow Hearts 3 and am about to enter the Grand Canyon. Are there any permanently missable things, or can I just do whatever until I feel like looking at a guide to pick things up later? Also, the boss that you face right after getting Frank (who is great by the way) was a a bit of a slog for me. Is that normal, or is he supposed to be pretty quick? I'm guessing it's because I'm still getting used to the ring timings and dropped my combo a few times. Something that was bothering me, did they have to give Shania that pervy magical girl transformation? I'm pretty sure what I saw of 1 and 2 didn't involve Yuri having his clothes come off every time he transformed. At least you can turn it off. Erg fucked around with this message at 22:20 on Jan 13, 2015 |

Morpheus posted:Okay, the bug sucks, but from just reading this it sounds like you only freeze up if you open the menu immediately after the tutorial? Or is it if you open it at any point after unlocking it? Any point at all? I started playing this last night, but I think it's ANY time you open that menu. Something that bothers me every time I see it is that in the UI they have advancing dialogue listed as "Send" instead of "Next" or anything else that would make sense.

pichupal posted:Apparently there's a glitch involving Miruca's 3rd Support Attack that was never fixed in the Japanese version either. I think it triggers on the third Time Card if there was nothing in between? Yeah, someone posted it on the last page for the Japanese version. No idea if it's still in the English version, but signs point to yes.

How are Gungnir and Knights in the Nightmare on the Vita, are they easy enough to stumble through and finish even if I don't understand the systems all the way? I know KitN was originally on the DS, does the control scheme transfer over okay? I think Sting games always look interesting and make me want to try them, but I usually get tripped up in figuring out how they work.

In Gungnir, do I need to worry about hiring some generic units and keeping them up to date, or will I get enough unique characters to cover everything the generics could do?

Nakar posted:I read somewhere that equipment keeps showing up for her in later stores for some reason? Vaguely recall that being a talking point for somebody. That one guy who hadn't actually played it was trying to use it as evidence that Zesteria had gone through a massive rewrite in the end stages of production. I think Caphi stepped in and said that's just kind of how the item shops worked, and it would've just been extra work to take out weapon sets for her once she left?

I think last time I checked they were already up to Class of Heroes 4 in Japan. We're in the West are all stuck with the first part. No yeah 2 got crowdfunded and had a limited physical print run. It's available on PSN right now.

Cathair posted:As someone else who had never gotten to play a Tales game for myself before, Zestiria's convoluted systems are fairly disappointing because the whole button-mashy brawler-rpg hybrid gameplay is basically what I was here for. It always looked fun, and it is fun, just not as much as it could be. The gameplay in Graces is actually that amazing though. Graces really suffers from having a story that isn't nearly as good as the rest of its parts (besides the awful puzzle dungeons)

Getsuya posted:I thought the most hilarious part of Graces F was that they thought anyone would be invested enough in those characters and story to want to play through an epilogue story as bonus content. I could barely motivate myself to play through the 2nd half of the game, much less anything after the ending. I thought Xillia was a decent marriage between a lot of the good combat ideas from Graces and a plot that wasn't horrible. Xillia 2 was pretty fun too but the decision to make the protagonist silent, only not really?? was one of the dumbest they've ever made. The epilogue was when the party was at its best though because you had actual Richard hanging out with everyone instead of watching him be possessed.

Last Celebration posted:What's the deal with that anyway? I heart they did it for SMT4 to cover the costs of localizing a relatively niche text-heavy game and releasing it like two months after the JP release, but the Etrian Odyssey 2 remake didn't get that treatment, right? Or their other titles since. And I think we got some free DLC for EOU2 in the opening weeks that Japan did not.

Way Strong Pimphand posted:I just picked up Trails of Cold Steel. The reviews for the PS3 version are pretty solid and the combat is the love child of Suikoden and Grandia. Enjoying it so far, anyone else grab it yet? It is v good. Grandia is pretty apt because you've got master Quartz that level up for spells and bonuses, but then you can also add other random Quartz to get more spells/stat bonuses/passives. You also got cool stuff like being able to cancel enemies out of spells with skills and delaying their turns. Voice acting is also good, and the writing is pretty nice. If you care about collectibles, you'll want to find a guide because there's a lot of stuff you'll miss unless you talk to every NPC after every event that happens.
