People saying that JRPGs are only good for writing/story is funny to me, because Octopath Traveler came out very recently and that game is carried by its combat system. The story/writing is generally not great and the dungeon and over world design is tedious, but the actual combat is so good that I loved playing it anyway.

it's funny to me as well because the reason i say it's a garbage genre is not just because the combat/gameplay in general is bad but the writing tends to be too.

Honestly I always felt that the whole Wilford Brimley bit was kind of an unnecessary detour and could have been comfortably cut.

Good rpg combat is something I find comparable to like, deck building I guess. I think it’s a lot of fun synergizing characters and skills. Other mechanics such as SMT’s press turn system or Octopath’s BP system can also help combat feel more cathartic.

Yeah I’m talking about liberals getting triggered and wanting to censor barky 2 for telling the TRUTH about Hungry Man but making barkley 2 a f2p malware laden cryptocoin miner would also be very funny.

FFX was considered garbage at the time but JRPGs are in general extremely bad so it is seen one of the best modern examples of the genre now looking back since every FF since then has been worse.

I guess people are supposed to play JRPGs for the story but they have pretty much the worst stories and writing in games.
I missed out on the supposedly golden snes era but looking back on the ones I've played since the only two I can think of with a genuinely interesting story and characters is Nier 1 and Barkley
