What's a good JRPG to play? Preferably on ps4 but also accepting submissions for PC

The only good JRPG is a dead JRPG. so just play Yakuza or Nier.

its not a new observation that these people are hypocrites but its funny that they're all 'you cant change the original creators work! let them do what they want!' until the original creator decides to remove something that they feel makes their game worse, then its 'wtf, how dare they!'

I think people really overstate how significant the relationship stuff in FE is. Awakening was successful out of the gate and it wasn't exactly marketed as a dating sim, and people actively disliked how they contorted themselves to shoehorn the exact same systems in Fates.

yeah, people enjoy the characters but the relationship building stuff in awakening was well received because it gave you more of the characters, not because of self-insert dating

im sure some people enjoyed that mind, but it wasnt the sum total of the appeal

also tbh people saying 'waifus' a lot about a series with such a huge female fanbase is weird

Yeah, the whole 'kids time travel back from a dark future to to when their parents just started getting hooked up' plot element very easily allowed the kids to appear plausibly within the story.

What made me decide to not get fates was that every character design seemed to be reused, and the 'hyperbolic time chamber daycare' to get the kids really did not make sense at all.

i like persona 4's presentation but even ignoring the insanely lovely excuse for humor that game has i just don't connect with anything about the game's story at this point. looking back on it everything about its writing just feels insulting to me now

I recently finished Persona 5 (my first Persona game and one of the few JRPGs I've really gotten into) and liked it so much that I went back to my Vita to see if P3 Portable would scratch that itch. I liked P3's tone and story, but found Tartarus a bit boring and did not care at all for the pared-down VN-style presentation. (I also think I screwed up by choosing the male MC instead of the female MC, everything I've read since makes a female MC playthrough sound much better.)

So I set P3P aside to try P4G, and now I'm about 16 hours in, and... I don't know what to make of this game. There's some I like but, man, is it rough at times. Yosuke's annoying and is not growing on me like Ryuji did, Chie's voice actor sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me, Yukiko's got even less personality than Makoto, and I like Kanji but this game does not seem to know what to do with his sexuality and I don't see that ending well. The humor just isn't doing anything for me, and I'm not really excited to find out how many more lame and tired fat jokes they make, or to see just how far into the ground they run this awful Chie--and-Yukiko-can't-cook bit. Put that all together with clunkier mechanics than P5 and procedural dungeons that are a lot duller than P5's dungeons, and... I think I'm gonna set this one down and go back to hoping that P5 gets ported to Switch.

P4 does have one thing to its credit: Nanako's a sweetheart, and yes I will spend time with her this evening, I don't even care that it's not going to rank up my S. Link.

Weirdly enough P5 is the only Persona game I maxed all S. Links the first time through, though it required a ton of save scumming in the final month. But yeah that was only because I knew to look up "what should I know ahead of time?" and saw that Fortune was recommended as one you level up ASAP.

Question about Anthem:

Probably my absolute least favorite thing in video games is inventory crafting hoarding where you need a CPA license and a zillion years experience with Excel (think Monster Hunter World and ____ Souls)

Is Anthem like those games, mildly similar (like Dead Space and Prey), or completely straightforward shooter like Halo?

Every review I've watched talks about upgrading your gear but doesn't mention if it's the kind of thing you just pick up or it's hours of grinding for rare elements to use in a crafting system.

TIA.
