Pat has played EB and hated it and for JRPGs I mostly only want Pat/Liam. And if Mother was on the table it'd be on the table once so make it 3

and yeah people really shouldn't play Persona 3

Earthbound is more remarkable and so is P3, also Pat has bad opinions.

I think a Tales game would be pretty good to watch the full gang play through if they cut out battles where cool things didn't happen.

No? Mother 3 and P4 are literally better in every single way than their predecessors with the singular exception of P3 having a better final section than P4.

I'd love a 4 person Tales LP but that would take forever and I don't know which they'd play. I've heard Zestria is good but I've only heard that from the ADTRW chat thread which is the most suspect source possible.

No? I mean, it's subjective as gently caress, I'm just trying to make it more evident since you started the whole debacle. Four different games, four different stories, slight improvements on mechanics aren't enough to say "PLEASE DON'T PLAY X PLAY Y" like it's an enhanced version or something.

The "improvements" in P4 were all to things that never bothered me a lot in P3 and I prefer the way P3 handles its story and character stuff most of the time. But again, you don't need to choose only one at the expense of the other.

P3 is a good game if you like your story backloaded in the last 25% of the game.

edit: I probably liked Zestiria more than anyone else in the Tales thread, but it's pretty rough.

It's good but it is trying to do the same things that Graces F already did great and failing at it. It also somehow has the worst camera I've seen an action game have in years.

The small mercy of a Tales game LP would be that you could set it to the easiest difficulty and just skip encounters since most of them don't do the random encounter thing, but if they're going to do another JRPG LP I'd stick to another one of the sub-10 hour ones. Still want to see them do Lisa at some point.

Good lord, Graces F was terrible, what does that mean?

Like hopefully the combat, because in that GF was actually the best but everything else about that game was just, like, I'd sooner replay Abyss.

The equipment system of Zestiria is very tedious in a grindy, very specific equipment way that they would absolutely hate.

The combat is worse than Graces, and a lot of people say it's bad because the combat is restrictive with 4 total attacks not including buffs, until you recharge a meter.

Also your starting meter decreases per combat.

And the story is super meandering with a villain as yawn boring nothing as Matt would call it the worst.

So explain why mother 3 is so much better, please

You just keep saying "nuh uh it's better" without backing it up

I'm not saying it's bad, far from it, but you keep acting like people just shouldn't play eb at all in lieu of playing m3, when it's still a fantastic game.

No I said if they were to LP one it should be 3. It has better combat, environments, characters, music, and story.

EB is a neat thing but it's a quirky historical footnote where Mother 3 is an actual member of the RPG pantheon.

I still would prefer they play eb and then move on to mother 3 after, though. If only because if it's truly so superior, then going back would be more difficult, while going forward they could appreciate the improvements all the more(and we'd get twice the lp :v: ). And eb has some of the most iconic scenes in any game I've played (most notably, of course, the entire final boss stuff).

That's part of EB's problem though, that game's got some real rough pacing. Mother 3 moves you from setpiece to area etc at a decent clip and you're rarely doing anything boring, certainly not for long. EB has some real slogs between its major areas, and the actual melody dungeons feel like they were put it from another, more boring game.

e: well they were of course, from Mother 1, but talking about games nobody should give a gently caress about

e: on the other hand, it can't be worse than Naruto!

Graces uses an incredible combat engine to spit in my eye with characters such as Hubert, Sophie, Asbel, Cheria, and worst of all, Pascal.
