this nintendo direct was so hype that any other normal direct i would be lying to myself and be like "i guess i might play final fantasy x-2 with princess peach" but then saga emerald, shiren 6, eiyuden chronicles, and unicorn overlord has me barely registering that was a game

important saga detail: one of your party members is just a cat. literally just a large black cat



One of the other characters looks just like Macha, one of the major gods from Scarlet Grace, who inexplicably showed up as an optional boss with a turn limit in a random quest or two. 🤔

saga emerald is going to be so good that will we get a new RPG thread when it comes out because it will completely redefine the history of rpgs and we will talk about the genre by defining games as pre saga emerald and post saga emerald

Is this Direct going to stop people from acting like turn-based RPGs are dead or are we cursed to keep hearing that for another 6 years

The complaints will continue until and unless Final Fantasy releases another mainline turn-based (or ATB) RPG, I imagine.

Square-Enix put out a turn-based RPG earlier this year and it still didn't stop it so I doubt it.

Captured from my Switch in portable mode, but this game looks great imo. I have a lot of nostalgia for SO2, and the opening forest and crossing into Arlia were really nice.

unicorn overlord looks sorta RTS-y so I dunno if its actually a game snooze will play, she can't do RTS games she is an old lady now

since it looks a lot like ogre battle unless proven otherwise I'm gonna assume that like ogre battle you can just pause at any time to issue commands at your leisure

playing more summon night 3. got to a chapter where your robot nurse friend has an existential crisis because she's jealous of your ability to bring a smile to the face of the woman she loves so she tries to go kill herself in a trash compactor and you have to stop her by beating her in an srpg battle so you can make her understand how much she means to her loved one

Enough of this nonsense. You are an important mayor and this absurd contraption has wasted enough of your time.
So fuckin excited for the next chapter. I loved the remake and this still looks cool as gently caress. Plus it looks like there's a bunch of team attacks now and I love team attacks!

That’s a lot sooner than I was expecting. I was kind of hoping to squeeze in a replay of part one before the sequel came out, but now… and the Persona 3 remake comes out like two weeks before. Too many games!

Yeah, Archers are a mid-tier support class in Reborn instead of one-size-fits-all death railguns that trivialize the game when spammed. They still have an important purpose but they're mostly for picking on enemy squishies and will pretty much bounce off enemy frontliners.

TO Reborn is a much more balanced game in general and is a fair bit more intuitive as a result; tanky heavy melee frontliners are typically your bread and butter assault units, mages are good for cracking open said heavy melee frontliners, archers and ninjas are good for killing said mages. The farther you get, the more potentially broken stuff you get access to, but generally the truly hellaciously broken stuff is in late/postgame optional content now.

I always hated that I made my main guy a Knight in TO as I always tend to do in SRPGs and he just sucked complete rear end forever and got like 2 turns per map

If it was for an original game the PSP design is okay. A bit generic and 2000's but not bad

But as updated Rena design it's just not good
