SC has some pretty tough ones is mostly what I was thinking of, especially a few of the Enforcers. E: Also that one sidequest with those worms, gently caress those guys.

I want to give Shin Megami Tensei IV and the Digital Devil Saga games a try, but I'm a casual baby and I've heard that these games are punishingly difficult. Are there any tricks and such to lessen the hardness?

The first bit is the toughest you'll encounter, so don't be afraid to play it nice and slow and grind a bit when the game really lets you start doing stuff. It gets easier all the way to the end. DDS1 and DDS2 will gnaw your balls off, but they are absolutely worth your time. Grinding is your friend in both, though, as you'll NEED to maxmize your exp gains in DDS2 to keep up with the power curve of the bosses, and there are so many mantras and so many skills to learn, depending on your play style, you will come to learn to love the enemy spawn increase items. EDIT: Oh, and it goes without saying, but eat everybody.

Those worms only use the earthquake attack if they've been damaged, so you have to avoid using AoEs and kill them one at a time to minimize it. that sidequest is brutal as hell even if you're well aware of their gimmick

I don't think Olivier gets treated that way because he's bi as opposed to being Olivier, but yeah Trails has quite a few gags in that vein that can be offputting taken as a whole.

The opening cutscene of SH, when the demon slices off Yuri's arm and he just reattaches it and shrugs was badass.

Still trying to power through PS1 but wowza is the encounter rate in this game out of control. Glad I played it emulated so I can just turbo the poo poo out of random battles, but man on the overworld it's sometimes as bad as every 3-4 steps you take. Luckily dungeons aren't real big and the counter rate seems a fair bit lower in them generally. Need to look at if PCSX2 can let me poke through memory and make a cheat to lower the encounter rate ... a lot. Meanwhile...     E: Oh and apparently it was putting the screenshots into user\Documents\PCSX2\snaps. Okay sure, fine. Gwyrgyn Blood fucked around with this message at 06:40 on Mar 11, 2016 |

Also dump Cielo in the reserve slot and ignore him for DDS1. He's much better in DDS2 though.

Way back in 2001, there was some TV channel that just put up constant footage of trailers and gameplay featurettes. One of them was the intro to Shadow Hearts up until the forced loss against the boss. I forgot the name of the game for the next 9 years but I remember being so impressed by it back then. It's weird to think Midway did publishing work on a JRPG too.

Man, the encounter rate in Breath of Fire III is insanely high. Really wish it had a map too with such an encounter rate so when I try to explore I at least know where I'm going and/or where I've been. Game otherwise seems fine/fun so far.

I don't remember it being so bad. My only negative memory of BoF3 was that one sequence where you had to train the guy. I hated that as a kid.

Game seems alright, fun, nothing special though. I'm playing it for the first time. I'm taking a break from Lufia 2 to play this because a friend wanted me to play it. Unfortunately I think I might have a better opinion of BOF3 if I hadn't been playing Lufia 2. That's a bit of a step down. I just finished the laboratory. God that sucked. Puzzle dungeons should be a thing in games with random battles. If a game has random battles and wants to have puzzle dungeons, the battles should be turned off like in FFX's cloister trials. some bust on that guy fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Mar 14, 2016 |

Divinity: Original Sin is probably one of the best recent turn based CRPG out right now though. Shadowrun Dragonfall and Hong Kong are also great.
