What are the best zelda-like games out there? Specifically SNES Zelda. Landstalker and Alundra spring to mind, but I'm sure there must be more.

So I'm up to Chapter 9 in Trails SC and goddamn, the Liber Ark is loving huge  . From the cutscenes and vantage shots from the top of the castle and Rolent Clocktower, I thought it was just a floating fortress or building. Not an entire goddamn city. Gotta admit though, I'm always a sucker for a good lost/intact ancient advanced city in a JRPG. Are there any particular things to look out for? I found a console in a bar out in the Residential District talking about receiving packages, is that something to keep in mind for later or something?

Searching google for a way to get it to work, I found some links for Wine and Steam Wrapper which just led me to ads and malware. Oh well, back to consoles.

Darksiders 1 is basically a Zelda clone Terranigma, and Illusion of Gaia also have places in my heart but they lack that over world explore/unlock feel. Levantine posted:Sounds good, I've been doing Wars early and exploring more than doing story. I am building my fifth troop around a dragon mage I found with a B in Con, I think so we'll see how that goes. What does TEC do other than increase EXP gains?

Numberwise, I'm pretty sure I read that 99 str/mag increases your damage by 50%, and that 99 vit increases your gauge by 50% as well. So it seems like getting the stats from leveling up with 99 tec is more useful than those.

kirbysuperstar posted:To quote TCRF: These are pretty good. Fallout 2's Euro version had to deal with the "no depicting violence against children" thing. Back then simply making the children unkillable (as in Fallout 3 onward) wasn't an option so they made them invisible instead. Two particular cases where this gets nuts, is that in one town there's pickpocket kids who still exist and will still rob you but are now invisible. The other is that the children aren't impossible to harm, just to see or target. So if you know where they are and have grenades, rockets, or happen to walk around naked with only a lit dynamite for the little bastards to pickpocket... War Thunder's a f2p WWII tanks/planes game that for similar censorship in the EU can only have people "become unconscious." Yeah that 57mm HEFI to the chest really knocked the wind out of me for a while, but I got better. Flaming death spirals into fireballs merely knock the crew of a plane unconscious.

the eu censorship makes me wonder how fallout 2 would have handled that, if they had gotten the dev time they needed to put in the orphanage side quest that gets all those kids off the streets in the first place would that entire side quest just not exist?

I know the highest level equipment is 51 but I found a level 70 monster group in one of the travel quests. Still no idea how to regularly increase Guild Rank

ChrisBTY posted:I guess the question would be 'why does the stat increases with level matter if all the content is scaled to you'? For offline, campaign stuff is level locked and doesn't scale. Singleton missions do scale. In the exploration mode, there's usually 3 "golden bounty" bosses on each map. Typically one that's scaled for the area level, one that's slightly above, and then one that's much further ahead. You need to kill these things for schematics and junk to give you the good equipment for use online. However you stat yourself out just gives you edges wherever. One of the ranked heroes who is always straight S'ing eveything online says he just raises vit/agi on all his offense people so they can get around more so that's just one flavor of something you can do to give yourself an edge. I mean basically the whole game is one of those mobile phone war sim games when you get down to it. It's just fun to waste time in ultimately.

Rascyc posted:I don't see how that's possible but I suppose it might be. The problem with pyroxenes is that they only buff one specific type of skill line and you can't stack the same gem, so you need to find all different tiers and then start slotting them in. They're all pretty low values too but maybe there's some gigantic ones later? Highest pyroxene I've found is +16% damage and considering 99 str/mag is +50% damage the extra +16%,+8%,+4% or whatever from gems is already worth 25 levels worth of str/mag it's nothing to sneeze at. I assume higher level weapons have way more pyroxene slots too. My level 8 team had to fight level 11 teams a few times in War so I'm not quite sure what determines the highest level teams you'll face but it's definitely not based on your highest person in the current troop. Versus missions scale the monsters but sometimes it'll drop someone's super high level troop to compete against you so watch out. Remember that the points you're investing at level up are BONUS points and your units still get stats in everything at each level which is why people are suggesting 99 TEC or everything into vit/agi Lakbay fucked around with this message at 23:15 on Jun 24, 2016 |

Rascyc posted:Yeah but it's like ... so what. Everything dies so fast anyway so unless you are chasing Hero in the ops you can pretty much do whatever. Well like you said everything dies so fast even without any points into str/mag you might as well maximize your actions/movement. Since the story is so sparse and the way the game is set up, the whole point is to have a ~perfect~ set up of stats and to sperg over minmaxing. I mean I only put points into TEC because I consider the experience gain to be glacially slow and I haven't found a super overpowered skill combo I like. While I really appreciate being unable to gimp your character, the game doesn't really reward specializing bonus points.

I'm in the intermission between chapters 1 and 2 in #FE and so far it's fun. Not terribly hard as of yet, since unlike Persona you can leave dungeons to heal and such whenever you like, but it's flashy and satisfying and cute.

Its effectively a tactical rpg where combat takes place on 3 planes, with a smidge of real-time attacks. Game is very pretty and plot isn't anything to write home about or anything but it is fun to play. Online war's where you can send your guys off to either fight in real time or be used as NPC's by other people is quite neat as well.

bloodychill posted:Is there any sort of consensus on Grand Kingdom being worth it? What games is it like? I couldn't find a thread for it. Game is fun. What you can't probably tell from some of our back and forth is that the game runs extremely well on the PS4. Lag is not an issue, the menus are all snappy, everything looks good (albeit a bit ... mobile'ish I guess?), the music is subdued but not annoying, and there are quality of life features for pretty much every single thing from saving formations to locating resources to craft. If there's any complaint, the voice acting is pretty lovely on both sides of the language. I've noticed a lot of people complaining about lack of tutorials but I honestly thought there were too many tutorials. The game does leave you to your own devices and you can do whatever you want. There's a lot offline content. The game came with all the DLC from Japan so we have the main campaign that ends at like the mid twenties (which is like baby merc territory) and then the country campaigns start at like level 50. There's a bunch of other stuff to do like explore the country side to kill bounties, and things like that. I think we've talked enough about the wars but they're charming too. Combat's a lot of fun but can get repetitive. Thankfully there are 17 classes so you can always just tinker with your party to vary it up, and there are A LOT of skills so there's no shortage of variety. Also I get the feeling that a lot of offline encounters were hand crafted instead of RNG'ed lik the trash. All of the bounties have these neat themes going on and there's plenty of random events that proc on exploration type adventures. Unfortunately you can never skip animations, which means you need to watch that 3 second armament animation a lot if you decide to do wars. I really like it, but you need to find your own reason to play the game and that's usually going to be making arbitrary numbers go up and building cool parties. It's pretty open like that.

OTOH if you do need to level, the experience skill + bounty is like 5 level ups if you fight the ones grossly over your level. Experience + fort spam is also good in wars. I use that other skill that lowers enemy stats by like 50% on the field, it's also pretty silly. Rascyc fucked around with this message at 07:18 on Jun 25, 2016 |

Is the online stuff actually worth it? Because the minute I saw the 'daily checkin bonus' I got a bit suspicious about whether it'd be mobile skinner box level stuff. Also I'm enjoying the posts while I try to figure out whether to buy it so really who cares about more posts in a thread

The online is neat but I think it's gonna wear thin in a few weeks. There's really not a lot of people involved. I put in maybe a hour or two and I get like top 200 with moderate rankings. The daily check-in has been broken since launch, at least I think that's the stamps or whatever. The rewards look like they suck too? You do get rewards for killing like ten people in each theatre and if your country decided to wage war on three fronts well that's a lot of killing if you care about some of the loot. Nothing too special in those lists aside from class up scrolls. The king weapons are online exclusive and you need to be a hero to get those. Afaik hero is translation for whoever decides to sit in the war mode the longest so gently caress that? The whole thing is a fun diversion. Don't treat it like an "end game" or anything though, it'll be terrible.
