Kilometers Davis posted:I'm 20 hours in and taking a little break for Rift Apart. Hell yeah awesome videogaaaames. DQ is such a comfy series, a lot of the games (XI included) are almost broken up into little vignettes where you go to a town and solve everyone's problems, it makes for nice pacing since you can get through a few hours in an evening and feel like you accomplished something

Shammypants posted:That's certainly an opinion with Civilization, Persona, Xcom, various card games, Advance Wars, Steamworld etc. existing. DQXI is better than those. Only Civ and Persona come close sorry

The company that makes cards against humanity also has been accused of having Blizzard-esque racist and sexist office environment and one of the co-founders stepped down last year after sexual assault allegations

Raylax posted:The problem with putting fast forward & infinite HP/Dmg buttons in the FF ports is the real-time investment is an important component of an RPG's balance. Nobody sits and grinds the very first area of an RPG to get to Lv50 because that would take loving days of realtime. So removing the realtime element with those conveniences actively damages the game's balance. Which is fine if you're revisiting and just want to get to all the fun story beats, but it's going to ruin the first-time experience unless you're playing a particularly badly-balanced and grindy RPG Incredibly cursed post

For a lot of RPGs I feel like AI is fine but for something like Persona where resources are very limited early on especially MP, I would never want to relinquish control. That's part of the reason why I played P3 Portable

Arist posted:Anyway, in regards to grinding: I have probably killed literally thousands of those Dhorme Chimeras that appear in that one desert north of the Library in FF5 because I had to kill Sandworm with four Berserkers as part of the Four Job Fiesta. Two separate times. You pretty much have to just grind to level 45 to do it, and it sucks. I had speedup on an emulator, though, I'm not a monster. That's rough. I did FJF once and didn't get any berserkers thankfully

My dad is from County Derry so I have less of a problem with Northern Irish accents but there's still regional variation up there, like a Belfast accent is different from a Derry accent The only time I've ever had to put on subtitles for an Irish movie was Intermission where there's a lot of thick working class Dublin accents but also multiple Scottish people playing Irish

FF13 could be summed up by Final Fantasy XIII[a] is a science fantasy role-playing video game developed and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles and later for the Microsoft Windows operating system. Released in Japan in December 2009 and international in March 2010, it is the thirteenth title in the mainline Final Fantasy series. The game includes fast-paced combat, a new system for the series for determining which abilities are developed for the characters called "Crystarium", and a customizable "Paradigm" system to control which abilities are used by the characters. Final Fantasy XIII includes elements from the previous games in the series, such as summoned monsters, chocobos, and airships. The game takes place in the fictional floating world of Cocoon, whose government, the Sanctum, is ordering a purge of civilians who have supposedly come into contact with Pulse, the much-feared world below. The former soldier Lightning begins her fight against the government in order to save her sister who has been branded as an unwilling servant to a god-like being from Pulse, making her an enemy of Cocoon. Lightning is soon joined by a band of allies, and together the group also become marked by the same Pulse creature. They rally against the Sanctum while trying to discover their assigned task and whether they can avoid being turned into monsters or crystals at the completion. Development began in 2004, and the game was first announced at Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2006. Final Fantasy XIII is the flagship title of the Fabula Nova Crystallis collection of Final Fantasy games and is the first game to use Square Enix's Crystal Tools engine. Final Fantasy XIII received mostly positive reviews from video game publications, which praised the game's graphics, presentation, and battle system. The game's story received a mixed response from reviewers, and its linearity compared to previous games in the series was mostly criticized. Selling 1.7 million copies in Japan in 2009, Final Fantasy XIII became the fastest-selling title in the history of the series. As of 2013, the game has sold over 6 million copies worldwide. It would be followed by two sequels, Final Fantasy XIII-2 (2011) and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII (2013)

Bust Rodd posted:Final Fantasy XV is a great and loose and chill video game precisely until the game is over, and then it poops its pants and falls asleep in the poop and no one knows who brought them or who their friends are so they just lay in the poop, sleeping in their own boom boom

Bust Rodd posted:No, it feels completely divorced from the entire preceding 50 hours of gameplay. The ending, the villain, Luna... none of it feels connected to the game i was playing or to the things I spent most of the game actually doing. "but but but the DLC!" no that loving sucks. i already played the game for 60 hours, I'm not putting another 20 in so I can ret-con the poorly developed characters into good ones. Nah it’s good. I didn’t even play the DLC

Bust Rodd posted:We've also been over this ITT, but the original didn't have insipid anime hoots and grunts that just absolutely demolish any semblance of sincerity in every voice acted scene. This game might be japanese but it isn't anime, and having such a huge anime convention showing up alongside these much more "realistic" looking characters just creates this really weird incongruity for me. The graphics are telling me you want me to take this game seriously, the sound design tells me that you do not. This sounds entirely like some sort of personal hang up issue.

pumped up for school posted:Looking for a turn-based rpg or tactics, something where I can casually grind for an hour or mainline, then put down for weeks at a time before resuming. Might I suggest Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride for the Nintendo DS.
