Never played 6 but you can't go wrong with either 4 or 5, they're both great games

V is usually the one that comes the most recommended.

Yeah, 5 is basically all the hyperbolic poo poo everyone says about the SNES era that’s actually true, it’s just a real well done game.

atelier shallie's battle system is like 95% the same but it has less of being able to interact with delayed effects directly like card guy could in MK1

also shallie is less satisfying to me because upgrades aren't directly tied to crafting

Atelier Shallie has the same system pretty much, and the upcoming one looks similar

Legit, Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain (the 2D top down Zelda one), was one of my favourite games back in the day, and if it ever got the Breath of the Wild treatment I'd be so down.

Edit: Good Zelda game replacement.

I actually meant Breath of the Wild. For some reason Skyward was on my mind, but yes, a full 3D open world for exploration with more or less no loading screens.

What RPG main characters haven't (primarily) used a sword? I'd say fantasy only but even as Star Ocean shows, even "sci fi" series have the main character use a sword.

Estelle from Trails in the Sky and the main characters in the Suikoden games are the major ones I can think of.

Maya is both the co-main character of Persona 2: Innocent Sin and full main character of Persona 2: Eternal Punishment and she only ever uses two pistols. (Weapons are worthless in those games anyway. Dunno why anyone would use anything but Persona skills. Plus her strength stat is abysmal while her magic stat is amazing.)

In Persona 3 FES the Male MC can use any type of weapon. I missed that feature in the later games.

Playing Dark Cloud 2, I'm on the second area (the forest) and it seems like everything is doing way too much damage to me and I'm doing way too little, is that just normal? I'd assume I was just supposed to use the Ridepod for tougher enemies but I'm locked to using the girl for the level I'm on.
I've been upgrading my weapons and I'm on I think the third tier wrench and second tier sword.

Sometimes you have to use the item that breaks the seal to have an easier time. You should probably upgrade you weapon more often too.

An open world Legacy of Kain where you have the same kind of vampire transversal abilities that you had in the Nosgoth shooter would be sweet as hell.

Cyber Slueth isn’t really clicking yet. I’m only on the 3rd chapter or so but I’m not feeling really hooked into the story and my party feels like a rotating door with all the digivolutions and trade outs for space.

Does the story pick up? I’m sure my party will solidify more once stuff isn’t leveling up so fast and often.

Things should start picking up a little by Chapter 7, but poo poo doesn't really hit the fan until 13 or so.

Index Digital Media's behavior in recent years has made it clear that it's joining the war against general-purpose computing on the side of the prosecution.

This will probably make for awkward talks with Atlus USA.

Nintendo at least has the excuse of owning their own console brand. Atlus are just dinosaurs, especially when their parent company Sega is more of a PC developer and publisher these days than a console developer and publisher.
