It could have been 'Song of the Ancient - Fate' or 'Emil - Karma' to be even better news.

Evil Fluffy posted:Suikoden IV. The death of a series that could've lived on otherwise. S3 was decent and S5 was probably the second best but it wasn't enough to save the series after the damage was done. S3 was going to be the big bridging Suikoden and it being properly told was essential for the future of the franchise. Instead executives rushed the director/writer to finish the game while radically altering some of the structure so he peaced the gently caress out of the company. Without him they didn't have a clue how the story would work and had to rely on the lead artist to try and piece together the pieces, and yeah it would have been a miracle if she could. The had the lead ARTIST loving direct and write a game. e-Actually she was game designer too, so it wasn't that bad. But still, there was 0% chance of suikoden 4 working.

At least we got Suikoden II aka the best JRPG before any of that happened, it's a bigger accomplishment than what most game series can ever manage.

I don't speak Japanese, but one of the new Bravely Second job seems to be Baker/Cake maker. Apparently cakes cause status effects? Also Flambé attack Kurtofan fucked around with this message at 13:58 on Feb 4, 2015 |

Nuebot posted:I remember when I finally finished xenosaga 3, sitting there and wondering "What the gently caress happened here" not the story, exactly. But just in general. There are characters that just show up, act important then go away without ever dying, or even really concluding anything because the rest of their storyline got cut. People come back out of nowhere because that content got cut but hey, they have to be here for this plot point gently caress all reasoning and explanation. It's just a god damned mess through and through. As a person who has pla6yed XSIII several times and knows the story6 inside and out I honestly can't think of a single supporting example of these claims. Yes, a lot of the game was rushed and crammed in but I can't recall a single character who just turns up and then leaves with no explanation. That was honestly more of a Xenogears problem, Xenosaga was pretty good at characters not falling into the Plot Void. ./Also neither Xeno game is even remotely close to the worst JRPG ever and I know this because I played Star Ocean: Till the End of Time and neither Xenogears nor Xenosaga made me hate my life like SO3 did.

KamikazePotato posted:I think the best way to sum up the differences between X and XIII is that people who played X gave a poo poo about what was going on and people who played XIII didn't. This is from 6 pages ago, but I think this is because you can't skip cutscenes in X, which is horseshit.

It's just very average. Also I'm glad we've broken the shackles of Final Fantasy and have now moved on to "Every JRPG is the worst game in the genre".

I saw it in the PSN store one day, thought "I have never heard of this, therefore it must be some Agarest War level bullshit terrible" and just moved on. A shame because Vandal Hearts 1 was actually really fun.

It was mostly mediocre, as much of a mess as the Vandal Hearts 2 was, it had an interesting combat system and some interesting characters, the PSN game had the Final Fantasy 2 "everyone can be good at everything by doing" system, which I thought was neat at first, but I quickly lost interest at making the characters somewhat specialized.

ImpAtom posted:Oh man, SD4/Dawn of Mana. Yeah, if you want to talk about a real shitfest of a game that's a big contender, especially if you count the original Japanese version. Wait, what was different between the US and JP versions? I still like that that game was basically about scaring the poo poo out of monsters so they wouldn't notice when you kill them.

VH 2 was great when you figured out exactly how to game the enemies so they never, ever had a chance to hit you and then you steamroll every map until you get bored and never play it again.

I have no issue with anyone's dislike for one game or another here but the way some of you talk about jrpgs makes me wonder why you still play them. I mean...I play them and I know that a lot of the games I play are not really "good" games but I still have fun playing them.

Yeah, I think I've said this before but Final Fantasy isn't even in my top-5 favorite Square-Enix RPGs from any generation prior to like the PS3, let alone favorite RPGs period. I don't hate FF at all but it isn't my super-favorite franchise either and I think it's sort of weird it's held up as the apex of JRPGs when it's spent most of its time behind behind the curve in everything but visuals. I think it's an interesting franchise at least since it reinvents the wheel every time, and I can't say another franchise that does that.

Man, I know XIII and XIII-2 had meh soundtracks with apparently a billion tracks instead of the ~5 each it felt like but... I do not remember this at all and "generic backing track with awful rap" would be pretty memorable (see also: Star Ocean 3). This was actually a thing in it and not just added to the OST to make it seem like it had more music than it really did?

The only Final Fantasy games I'd put in my top 10 JRPGs list would be like, 4 and 6 and 13. But I don't really dislike any of them except for the obviously bad spinoffs like Dirge of Cerberus. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and A2 are also really fun but TJRPGs are a totally different beast than plain JRPGs.

I suppose watching your mother get raped by thugs hired by the "good guys" of the story while your dad runs away makes you both pretty angry and pretty crazy, both Kefka-approved traits when it comes to good old-fashioned wrecking the poo poo out of everything.

FFXIII-2 is lackluster in a lot of ways, but it has 3 extremely good battle themes at the very least.

Right now I like IV, V, VII, X, and X-2. But depending on when you ask, that might change. That's the thing about opinions, they tend to change over time as our experiences mold us into different people and what we want out of a game changes. It's how every game can be both the best and the worst game in the series. Except FFII, that game will always be the worst.
