babypolis posted:oh god repressed memories of all the terrible islands are flooding back into my mind This has been my entire run of the game. The only two I remembered as egregious before picking up 3DS were Dharma and the aforementioned "gotta do this place 3 times to peace out" story arc. Then I got to the cliffside city and there's a reason it's been on hold until I finish a month-long Mr. Driller match.

if you were gonna compare tits unfavorably to something at least compare it to like, shadow hearts covenant, a game from the same year that actually has a more engaging and fast combat system and not something even more mindless and repetitive

Turbo buttons are good, but if you skip animations in Disgaea you're dead inside.

People complaining about optional features never, ever made sense to me. Must be that same disease that makes people platinum games for trophy on FFX.

Flame wars are the ultimate turn-based combat system, when you think about it.

i don't know how you can play 100+ hours of trails while thinking the plot is bad the plot is the characters. the character writing is intrinsically tied into the plot. you can't even make that excuse

i guess he could mean 'i didn't like the plot but i liked the characters' which'd be kinda fair but that still makes no sense because skipping to the second game would make all the character arcs make no sense or have no basis

Tae posted:People complaining about optional features never, ever made sense to me. Must be that same disease that makes people platinum games for trophy on FFX. For a consumer, yeah there's nothing wrong. For a dev, there's only so much you're gonna be able to put in your game. I also never said there was anything wrong with options, unless we're talking "play game at half-speed" options which I would say it's mostly useless. Or at least, it would be for turn-based games where speed has no bearing on the actual gameplay systems. It's good in other games. U-DO Burger posted:why on earth would you play a trails game if you don't care at all about plot? There's a ton of other good rpgs with minimal story to choose from instead My friend sold me on trails by all the extra dialogue and world building and extra poo poo outside of the plot, which I am cool with.

Endorph posted:the main plot in the trails games is good They are but people tend to only think of games as when the main plot starts and everything else is wasting time. If you feel that way I don't think the trails games are gonna work because they all take their sweet time setting it up. I find the idea people treat games that way confusing and dumb but they do.

trails in the sky fc has a main plot, and you're introduced to lawrence and the gang in chapter 2. it starts kinda slow and it's more figuring out what they're doing for 90% of the game but it still has a plot. something being small scale doesn't make it not have a main plot.

exquisite tea posted:I mean in the sense of like "this item actually does stuff" and mousing over it gives an explosion of affix text instead of +2 strength, forever. Would The World Ends With You count? It's been awhile, but I seem to remember the pins having a uniqueness to them that other JRPG equipment doesn't have. They decide what attacks you use for starters.

I actually kind of appreciate it when a game doesn't rocket out of the gate with some world ending crisis or some obvious Bad Guy.

"Slow as poo poo combat" is the reason I only got 4 hours into Lost Odyssey.

I almost stopped playing Lost Odyssey because the first boss pushed my poo poo in like 20 times before the boss' AI routine finally decided not to spam AoE

Is SaGa Scarlet Grace a must-buy? I have a buddy going to Japan and he asked me for a list of Vita games I want him to get cheap/used. Other than Scarlet Grace (and SRW V) I can't think of any Japan-exclusives I really want. I already got Tales of Innocence which was the other big exclusive.

I would also like a Unicorn. Also: What IS your avatar from. It looks like something from a game I've probably played before but am drawing a complete blank.

The plan to seal it was done VERY carefully, because even a stray thought would've gotten everyone involved very dead. Obviously letting Weissman and Ouroboros have it would not have been a good thing. And why the Church made drat-sure that Weissman was dead afterwards because they do not let that poo poo stand.

MotU posted:yeah I really liked TiTS FC just because it was small-ish stakes rather than WROLDS ENDIN GOTTA FIGHT GOD I'm so sick of large-stakes games. My favorite games never are so wrought with world-ending consequences and villainy. That being said, TiTS is small stakes. It's VERY small stakes. Sometimes the stakes are so loving small as to be so arbitrary that killing that rat in the inn's basement seems like an epic quest. Edit to add: I should have added before posting: I didn't play very far into the game, so it might get weird later.
