There has been occasional chatter about a new Front Mission game but beyond SE saying they were working on a concept, there hasn't been any news since 2015. Not even any word on whether it would be an SRPG or action game.

Aside from Fire Emblem stuff has there been any good console SRPGs recently? Particularly any good non-fantasy ones? Feels like a bit of a dying genre... but then again they're really pumping out Fire Emblem games so :shrug: Maybe trending towards more X-com style tactical games. I guess a lot of this stuff on portable systems.

I used to love Front Mission and Vandal Hearts. Vandal Hearts 2 is one of, if not, my favourite PS1 game. Jeanne d'Arc on PSP was pretty good. There was one other I put a lot of time in, but can't remember the name. Similar to Fire Emblem.

Edit: Tactics Ogre. Closer to FFT than Fire Emblem. Sunk a lot of time into that on the PSP.

Not really, on PS4 there's only been Natural Doctrine (aka the Dark Souls of SRPGs) and a bland Dynasty Warriors based one. Utawarerumono is out on Tuesday but it's basically a VN where you occasionally play strategy bits, so.

Steamworld Heist is a cute little SRPG. Some pretty clear inspirations from the new XCOMs but side scrolling perspective with Worms style manual aiming. The structure of the game kinda irritates me though and encourages grinding missions to get enough cash to buy gear + get random loot drops.

Kinda old at this point but there's also Skulls of the Shogun

^^ I liked Steamworld Heist, but yeah it got repetitive pretty quickly and there was a specific issue I had with it, but can't remember what. I think there was some way of cheesing it, and in a run based game where you had to grind it was just too tempting when you were about to lose half an hour's progress. Fun though.

I think part of it in general is I like the simple old-school grid based ones and they seem to be almost all targeted at portables now (which at this point essentially means 3DS).

Or hey maybe Bungie should just make a new Myth or Oni game instead of Halo: Another. Myth was so good...

Myth and Oni belong to Take Two now as part of the machinations surrounding the original Microsoft acquisition.

It's a shame both of those franchises are dead because Myth is unlike any other RTS and character action games (and anime) are now much more popular than they were at the time.

My biggest gripe as a Destiny liker was the lack of quality things to do. Also for a loot treadmill type of game there wasn't a lot of loot to go around, honestly.

Lord of the Rungs Online launched with two :colbert:

LOTRO was a lot more fun that it should have been to play as a lovely hobbit. Ol' Dongdo Dongledill tricked and japed his way to Angmar, playing the finest midi versions of Journey on his lovely flute (which other players can't turn off), turning invisible and running away from squad wipes, throwing rocks to probably pull enemies that will trigger a squad wipe, throwing snowballs to stop people from stopping squad wipes, and starting calm, rational, daylong, serverlong discourses over how that hack Tolkien ripped off JK Rowling.

What attitude problem?
Destiny 2 looks a lot like what they would have wanted to do with the first one but couldn't because they decided to drag 360/PS3 along with it. While they didn't announce anything amazing to make it different, I'm okay with that. My biggest gripe with the original was the material grind for upgrades and they largely solved that with patches and expansions. I have a group of five or six friends who will buy it and play the activities with me outside of any goons who play. I've enjoyed PVP (until Bungie fucks it up because they can't figure out how to balance weapons and end up breaking another category by "fixing" one). I'm cautious just because I spent too much between the game and expansions and wish they would have done some sort of discount/deal/anything if you bought stuff when it came out as opposed to giant bundles, but whatever. I know from a cost/play time perspective I got my money's worth.

E: I'm also pretty okay with this because I haven't played ANY of the games released this year but they're all largely single player, so by the time I get to them they'll be cheap.

So, I might start Persona 5 at some stage today. My question is: subs or dub?

How okay are you with the dub mangling the pronunciation of names? The voices themselves are fine, but the voice direction seems rather bad.

Wait, HZD has bad voice acting? What the gently caress do you define as good in a video game, because while it's not bonkers amazing like TLOU, it's still pretty drat great for the main characters and most of the side ones. The jittery animations here and there are creepy and weird, but DXHR had that, too, and it also had pretty respectable VA.

Agreed. And the words said matter. HZD has engaging, interesting writing. Best since FoNV, which it easily surpasses because no need for mods. Which in turn is the real reason you always loving buy the PC version first, mouse aiming being better notwithstanding. I love my PS4 Pro but I'm always going to check if the console version has a reason for purchase beyond exclusivity.
