BoF4 has one of the neatest stories in JRPGs while also having some of the prettiest spritework and the 3D on the bosses and dragons and such looks cool because it adds to the "this is a thing out of place" mystique

Morpheus posted:Because the game doesn't work that way. It's not an mmo with aggro calculations and such - the enemy goes after who you are controlling. Ergo, if you want to balance aggro, you balance who you are controlling. duh we know how it is, but that's kind of wack. I don't love switching to Aerith to build up a little meter and everyone beelines to her even though she hasn't been bothering them

I got SaGa Scarlet Grace on a whim and I'm already utterly fascinated. I have no idea what's going on

the most SaGa I've played before this is emulating FF Legend 3 in like 2001 and feeling bad I turned a girl into a monster and trying to rent a SaGa for PSX and some teens had somehow overwritten it with an audio file of them laughing with their friends

Libluini posted:JRPG-logic strikes again. I never thought about Cecil's age, but considering he is already a highly-decorated soldier at game start, I until now quietly assumed he was in his 30s at least. But always, always JRPGs beat me. well, he's at least been in military service since he could be and has been trained in a difficult art with the dark sword

all the ones about space stuff are bad explicitly scifi is different from that though. lots of RPGs are science fiction, like all FFs for instance

The Colonel posted:my favorite weird untranslated sci fi jrpg will forever be cyber doll, the sega saturn jrpg where characters' dialog portraits are literally just the game zooming in on their sprite and the plot is about how someone found a cure for aids, but then the aids mutated into incurable super aids and the only way to save humanity was to turn everyone into immortal cyborgs, but then the super aids evolved into an ultra aids that drives cyborgs insane, and all of this is dropped in a five minute long low budget cg intro narrated in english by a guy who sounds insanely bored that's just nier minus the bad va

ff9 is hella scifi, and from the jump with the mist machines pumping out black mages the least scifi might be ff2, but even then I might be forgetting something

Its just such an enormous waste of time to talk to a demon, go through like three dialogue choices, then just have it gently caress off or decide to attack me. Bonus points if I've given it something already. I'm glad they do this because it's very funny
