You should play Legend of Dragoon. It keeps you involved in battle and if you can't land Lavitz' gust of wind dance you're a huge scrub baby.

Legend of Dragoon is poo poo.

The translation is bonkers and the QTE thing is entertaining for a time, it's worth playing some. It's hasn't really aged worth a drat but it was cool when it came out.

whats a good jrpg other than smt4 on 3ds

people say bravely default but i wasn't huge on it. I count etrian odyssey as jrpgs and both 4 and untold own and I have a backlog of other stuff to play

smt4 is one in the strictest sense though

Legend of Dragoon translation is so loving bad I don't know how I didn't notice it the first time I played it, aside from the obvious instance of

"Save your breath, you'll be okay" or whatever -> "Shut up, talking makes you die."

FF9 was great until about the 3rd or 4th disc.

Never played Parasite Eve I remember that being some crazy thing. PS2 right

parasite eve 1 and 2 are two of the best psx games

Final Fantasy Tactics was actually the best Final Fantasy, I think you guys will find

emulate the psp version with ppsspp after installing the anti slowdown patch and bind a key to fast forward and you have a good copy of fft finally

presona 3 is a little irritating because normal is too drat easy except superbosses and difficult is in an annoying balance between hard and party wipe because enemy AI decided to do something bullshit

Persona 2 has some of the most boring combat I have ever tried. The series definitely got better as it went on.

it has some of the best characters and concepts, and the worst goddamn gameplay

do not make bad decisions because you can never change jobs ever

this isn't a big deal unless you want to do superbosses low effort though, i think even a 3 time mage team can do everything

edit: you can control all party members. this is not new. but now it includes guests and espers

Not really. Because they have longer animations for guns and bows Balthier and Fran are respectively the worst with each but only by a tiny bit

Make Fran a breaker and do whatever with everyone else imo

it is a difference of frames but it's funny that the two characters who use the weapons ingame are the worst with them

monk vaan is sick as hell, so's red mage vaan

in the IZJS version of FFXII I just made Vaan a hunter because he starts with a knife

I've already hosed up haven't I?

vaan is a sicknasty hunter and it's possible to get him a midgame knife before you go into the plot
