Well I went to upgrade and update my equipment and sure enough I went back to the boss and area and it was a complete cake walk. I feel silly now.

You could try Cherry Tree High Comedy Club, which is like the social aspect of persona, but you're trying to start and run a comedy club, and you tell bad jokes and have to win people over by interacting with them and growing your relationship with them. It's almost literally the social aspect of the persona games but somehow even more anime. Edit: This is the RPG thread and not the recommend a thread so maybe not the best recommendation I could have come up with.

natural doctrine is... good...ish? i don't know why, but i'm really kind of enjoying it, despite the link system being kind of silly. the checkpoints in battle is nice though, especially because sometimes battle can be a bit tricky.

I'm sure this has been asked before, but what Snes rpg's do people recommend? Only tried Chrono Trigger which is pretty amazing, and I'm sure there are more games out there that I've never heard of as well.

So I followed the tutorial and stuck ranged guys right behind a shield guy. Then I realized that ranged attacks had friendly fire, but this didn't happen in the tutorial for some reason. Combined with the immensely bland aesthetic, I just don't think this game is for me.

Combined with the immensely bland aesthetic, I just don't think this game is for me. its nothing to write home about but it is scratching an itch i didn't know i had so there is that i'm a few hours in and haven't had any friendly fire incidents but you are not the only person to field this complaint. i've found that shooters always go first, so if you position them in a way as to not hit your guys they will not hit your guys and will only make "safe" counter attacks. not sure why this is such a rampant problem for people.

Danganronpa  There's also Mana Khemia which is a pretty average anime RPG but you're students at a magic high school and in between spending free time with your harem you have to dungeon crawl and craft poo poo to get good grades. It basically has a social link which determines your ending scene although it's as simple as choosing which girl to talk to on your days off. e: I want a Japanese version of Bully. Actually I just want more Bully, that game was sweet. al-azad fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Jan 2, 2015 |

Haven't ventured past the first fire cavern yet. junctioning is basically just magic spells used as equipment slots corresponding to specific stats. the type of magic and amount you have dictate what you get from them. you can get a general idea by testing stuff out but if you need specifics on what has the best efficiency in each slot here's a reference: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Junction_System

Overall I'd say not to stress the junction system. FF8 is a game that's easy to break even casually. And because enemies scale in level to a point you can play it comfortably without worrying too much unless you're going after optional content. I'd say focus on GF abilities early on. Boost should be the first thing for all GFs followed by their refinement ability which turns worthless items into spells. Some of them have really helpful stuff like Diablos turns off random encounters, Siren lets you see invisible draw points and learn tool refine (tools teach GFs new skills), and Quezacotl has card refine to get rid of unnecessary cards. kirbysuperstar posted:Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble is probably the closest thing. Unfortunately it doesn't take place during school.

Haven't ventured past the first fire cavern yet. you get magic from drawing, either from enemies or draw points (those purple sparkly places), or from refining items into spells using GF abilities (this is way faster and less annoying). then you can cast it if you want, or you can equip it to your stats. GF abilities unlock which stats you can equip things to, which can be basic things like strength or something like the element of your attack. the effect is increased if you have more of a spell, so just stick those spells on there and go to town!

And because enemies scale in level to a point you can play it comfortably without worrying too much unless you're going after optional content. That first sentence is only somewhat true. Early on, yeah. Maybe to about level 11 or so. Every ten levels-ish, enemy stats take a large leap, and they very quickly overwhelm your own stats, unless you figure junctioning out (it's not hard). ETA: Figured I'd dump an explanation of junctioning here, as well. Like said above, leveling your Guardian Forces will give you skills that increase what you can junction spells to. Now, for stats, each spell has a value for each stat. For example, Fire is: Hp- 1, Str- 0.10, Vit- 0.04, Mag- 0.10, Spr- 0.04, Spd- 0.08 Eva- 0.03, Hit- 0.10, Luck- 0.08. For each Fire spell junctioned to a stat, it'll add that much. But actually knowing all those numbers is for min-maxing crazies. You can generally just stick to 'non-elemental' stuff like Death, Triple, Aura, status effect spells, and whatnot for strength. Healing spells for HP. Haste for Speed, Elemental skills for magic. The more spells, the more of a boost. For adding elemental or status effects to your attacks, it's as simple as the more of a spell, the higher a chance of it connecting, or the more damage done. Same for junctioning resistences. AngryRobotsInc fucked around with this message at 17:17 on Jan 2, 2015 |

The high school thing wasn't influenced by Persona. Persona didn't start Japanese Anime High School stuff and the series that Fate/Extra is based off of also features a bunch of high school protagonists.

Also there's no real reason to play Fate/Extra if you aren't already a fan of the series.
