aas Bandit posted:I really enjoy first-person RPGs--something about it really pulls me into the game a lot more. Morrowind is one of my all-time faves, and I've played and enjoyed the other Elder Scrolls games, and right now I'm playing through Dark Messiah of Might and Magic for a second time. If you like Elder Scrolls games, do yourself a MASSIVE favor and install the Nehrim mod for Oblivion. I'll let that page do the convincing.

Has anyone played Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky? It seems pretty interesting, and the battle style looks neat from the trailer.

The Black Stones posted:Infinite Space was a pretty loving awesome Sci-Fi JRPG on the DS. I really hope they make a sequel. It needs one so bad. Hah, 38 hours in like it isn't a big deal. You getting pretty close to beating it with that many hours in? I was curious what other RPGs it might compare to, and what makes it unique amongst other games.

Oh cool a jrpg/wrpg debate. Anyway, thanks for the mini review of Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky earlier. I am having a lot of fun with it. It's interesting to have a grid battlefield where it's not obvious how far you are from something like in FFT.

casual poster posted:How do you guys find the time to play through your RPG's? Ever since I got a fulltime job, girlfriend and started working out my gaming time (for rpg's atleast) has gone down to about a hour a day. I tend to lay in bed before going to sleep and play RPGs on the DS and PSP. It's pretty hard to sit down and play games nowadays with a wife, home, and a kid with another on the way. Fortunately there are a ton of amazing games on the DS and PSP. I am currently playing Radiant Historia (DS) and the new Tactics Ogre (PSP).

drat we need a thread like "Tips for playing old games/RPGs! Spoilers = ban" I have never beat Xenogears, or gotten past the first disc for that matter. A lot of this information is helpful, but I am sure to forget it by the time I come around to running through the game again.

Has anyone played Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes? Hopefully it's kosher to discuss, being a rom hack and all. I thought there was a C&D slapped on the project a long time ago, but apparently that was faked to generate publicity? It released at the beginning of this year. Any thoughts on if it's worth checking out or not?

Opus125 posted:What do you guys know about those Eschalon games? All I know is that they're games made in the spirit of old school RPGs. Can't find any major discussion about them though anywhere, which is kind of leading me to think they really aren't very interesting or noteworthy games. If you have any interest in those you should also check out Avadon. It has a 10% discount on Steam right now as a new release, making it $8.99. You can also check out a demo from the developer's website. If you like the oldschool isometric RPGs it is a lot of fun. There are also achievements if that is your thing too.

Philip Rivers posted:I wish there were more JRPGs that started out quickly. I feel like it's the worst trope in the genre that every single JRPG ever has to start 10 hours early before exciting things happen in the game. I want to play a good JRPG, but getting over that initial hurdle is just so much of an effort that I rarely finish JRPGs that I start. I would say play Xenoblade. However, it might be hard to acquire now if you are in the US. If you are interested head to your nearest Gamestop immediately to see if they have any copies left. Any JRPG fan needs to give this game a shot. It's easily one of the best RPGs I have played in the past decade.

Depending on what model of PSP you grabbed you should get custom firmware. It allows you to do fun things like fix the slowdown issues in FFT: War of the Lions. I am posting from a mobile device but if you hit the question mark in this post you can see my link to the fix a few months back. It is absolutely worth it. You can even play SNES and GBA games with custom firmware! There is a whole thread dedicated to it. I would also strongly recommend the new Tactics Ogre.

Instead of running around and hitting blue dots for ages until you randomly get what you need for a side quest, it’ll tell you exactly where the items are. The Switch version also has: Better graphics Improved UI Easier process reconstructing Colony 6 Casual mode Auto-run Fashion slots so you can look as rad as you want without sacrificing stats Cleaner audio/soundtrack

Inferior posted:Grandia is an enjoyable series of PS1/2 JRPGs with excellent battle systems that got a HD remaster pack on the Switch a few years back. If you like 1990s adventure anime you might like these. I’ll give a plug for the Wild Arms games too. They all hold a place in my heart. Absolutely love the music in Wild Arms 1, especially the over world theme heavily influenced by The Ecstasy of Gold. The intro video song has been my alarm tone for years. I would love a new entry in that series.

cheetah7071 posted:I think I would have had a much more favorable impressions of Bravely Default 2 if the game had told you what the boss gimmick was well in advance, so you could plan out a strategy and start gaining JP on it, so you wouldn't be surprised by the boss suddenly telling your favorite jobs to eat poo poo and have to go grind up something new The game teaches you about chaining enemies and the exp/jp boost that comes with it early in the game. You can hit up the beach area near the first town and max out a job in 5-10 minutes if needed.

It's nice that it has all those bonus options for folks that do wanna grind but I did just fine on hard mode without grinding. Same - the orbs you occasionally find are plenty for getting a huge head start in a job. If you get creative with the plethora of skills there isn't a need to grind.

I only used it once when I unlocked an awesome class I wanted the synergies for asap. I was able to max it out in under 10 minutes. It isn't a huge investment in a 50 hour RPG.
