Endorph posted:go through that one forest in tales of symphonia and then come back and tell me jrpgs need more puzzles that's the one bad puzzle in a game where literally every single dungeon in a 70ish hour game has at least one puzzle/gimmick in it jrpgs need stuff besides hitting X to advance text and hitting X to do the same canned four hit combo into demon fang or whatever or they get really loving boring, esp most tales games because a lot of them fall into the trap of "just dial these combos against the enemy who can't escape and win" being some sort of good thing for more then 10 minutes. there's a reason ff7 has "quite possibly the greatest game ever made" on the back of the box. it's not because it was the first rpg for a lot of people, or because it had a lot of at the time revolutionary ideas for an rpg, it's because it has lots of dumb minigames like out-squatting some gym bunnies, snowboarding, or getting into a slapfight.

Endorph posted:oh so you suck at tales games okay stop being a pedantic rear end in a top hat, I'm not going to type out "two hit combo into jump attack into sky cast lightning, land, three hit combo, lightning blade, demon fang, victory light spear" or whatever the gently caress. every tales game with a huge focus on combos is really bad because they just turn into devil may cry for morons where you don't need to think at all about how you're going to fight the enemies. dragging the shadows takes 20 minutes, but so does every jrpg dungeon unless they decide to drag it out with endless hallways

Endorph posted:it just feels like meaningless busy work to pad out the game I have some shocking news. Literally all videogames are busy work that exist to pad out time, especially ones where doing the exact same combos on enemies who can't fight back over and over is "the good part" graces in particular is really bad about this poo poo because the enemies will decide to dogpile whoever is in the first slot most of the time, and your AI party members have no idea how to use the dodging mechanic every strong enemy is designed around and die in two hits on modes above normal. most of the time you're better off just soloing the game as asbel or hubert instead of trying to use the other characters who don't work when 8 monsters are charging at them or reviving your party members because they're just going to die in two seconds anyway. only way to make "juggle enemies to death with this one combo over and over" even more boring is by limiting the number of characters that are actually useable to do their one combo with

elf help book posted:its cool to juggle really giant enemies and also sometimes you can juggle them so long that they leave and reenter stagger before landing hell yeah that is cool but it feels weird to do no damage to a boss and then to do a shitload all at once idk. also in lightning returns it seems like they took out the launch aspect of staggering which is dumb.

I like the super confusing old Tales game dungeons, actually. The Aethersphere in Destiny was like one giant convoluted dungeon made up of several smaller-yet-still-large convoluted dungeons.

XIII-2 is crammed with every JRPG mechanic they could think of, and it made me realise that I hate modern JRPGs. Action RPGs are fine when they don't try to make you waste hours doing boring poo poo, so at least the only thing XIII had for gameplay was its combat, although it was only fun when it was challenging. XIII-2 was so easy that in every encounter you spent more time loading it and seeing the results screen than actually fighting it. Then you got to the final area, and if the platforming wasn't bad enough, the enemies will wipe the floor with you. If you completed XIII-2 100%, you used a guide and you didn't have fun doing it. You kept grinding those materials and filling out those maps and answering those quizzes because you knew that the endorphins released in your brain at the end of it would be worth all those hours of effort. You're an idiot and you've been tricked by a game that used every trick in the book to make you think it's fun, without ever actually being fun. It's a poo poo game, and if you disagree then go look at that bikini you bought for Serah because you didn't have the restraint to not own all the DLC.
