I asked in the Android gaming thread, but figured I'd ask here. Are there any good offline RPGs other than the square-enix ones for Android phones? Gonna be riding shotgun on a long car trip with spotty reception.

Commander Keene posted:I feel like the fact that I had to go back eight years to the release of a DS game to find the most recent plot-focused game I could remember that didn't include a romance for the main character somewhat justifies my point. I mean, I guess most puzzle games don't have romances? Don't quote me on that, though. And I suppose Kirby's never had a canon romance... There's a fuckton I can think of? Like most games do not have romantic subplots. Even in the realm of story heavy RPGs I've played the following ones in the last few years that had no romantic subplots for the main character, optional or otherwise; Nioh, the new God of War, Pillars of Eternity, Digimon: Cyber Sleuth, all the Pokemon games, Ni No Kuni, Super Robot Wars V, Bloodborne, Divinity Original Sin 1+2, XCOM 2, Far Cry: Primal, Mario x Rabbids, Dragon Quest 9, Etrian Odyssey 5...

forgetting about threia is honestly a crime there's nothing wrong with games with or without romance and nobody thinks atelier is a dating sim if they've played it everybody would probably prefer better romance writing but that doesn't necessarily mean there has to be only one canon option. some of the different pairings in games that let you do multiple are quite nice really

also you know nobody takes it super seriously when someone posts about batman and superman being gay so i'm not sure why "these characters have subtext that you can read as relationship-y" is taken as "the wimmenfolk have gone mad with their crazy detective walls" and not just pleasant banter

You can definitely bone people in Divinity: Original Sin 2, quite literally if you roll an Undead character!

Gonna be riding shotgun on a long car trip with spotty reception. Egglia, I guess. I say "I guess" because I don't ever end up playing phone games even when I'm interested, but it's a game made by ex-Legend of Mana people that basically looks like Legend of Mana, except they replaced areas and combat with some board game thing. It used to have online components but that got taken down so they released an offline version and also it's just a one time purchase deal.

Gonna be riding shotgun on a long car trip with spotty reception. I think Lunar Silver Star Story may have come out for Android (definitely iPhone) but cant confirm. Sadly outside of that there are some really shoddy srpgs you can get, some no budget rpgs that i dont think anyones ever played, and the Knights of Pen and Paper games. Youre honestly better off buying a switch or DS.

Missed a task on E&L. Crap. That’s gonna haunt me for the rest of the game but eh I wasn’t aiming for 100% anyway. I wish I was playing this in English because my eyes tend to glaze over when I try to read all the different effects and bonuses and I’m probably not using all the stuff I could be during alchemy.

Hi. Appreciating the thought of characters being in love isn't usually what draws me to media, but for those who (for various reasons) do derive joy from this mode of reading, I'm glad that there are video games that satisfy that goal.
