Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon (Quest Game) If not for the fact that Valhalla comes out today and I don't want my SO to feel like she's keeping me from playing Y7 by stabbing europeans with genetics or whatever, I'd be doing some turn-based good deeds in Kamurocho right now.

Amppelix posted:so what exactly does it have in common with dragon quest, if anything (real question) The main character is a middle-aged Yakuza obsessed with Dragon Quest (by name) to the point where the justification for turn-based battles is that he hallucinates every street fight as a jprg battle. None of what I just said is a joke.

that's great, i had no idea they actually got DQ into the game explicitly (last time they referred to it in 0 they used an obvious fake name) still, having turn based battles in your game is not exactly enough to say "this game's just like dragon quest!!!" which is why i asked if they actually have anything in common

They consulted with SE, though this resulted in the translators being told that they couldn't insert any more direct DQ references than already existed.

In addition to what was posted above; 1) The main characters default job is "hero" 2) You get a silver key that opens all silver chests in the world 3) When a character joins your party it does the Dragon Quest zoom in and pose thing + a knockoff DQ jingle 4) People do not shut up about Dragon Quest related things like talking about grinding the slimes of life in one scene 5) Random enemies can have wacky, useless moves that cannot succeed and exist purely for flavor 6) It has (I can barely see them it loads so fast) little sprite versions of the characters and will play 16 bit sounding jingles during quests Combat wise it feels like a natural evolution of DQs aka acceptably good and modern unlike DQs staid junk Barudak fucked around with this message at 04:26 on Nov 11, 2020 |

Yeah, the only thing Yakuza 7 isn't on is switch and a patched version for PS5.

Which Atelier game should I play if my last ones were Dusk Sky and Mysterious Book?

i mean depending on if you liked mysterious book i feel like basically anything would be a good pick outside of maybe the way older ones, the only modern games that are really seen as questionable in quality at all are sophie and firis. you could play ayesha since it's the prequel to dusk sky i guess?

Hell yeah like a dragon is good Anyone know what's up with the timing based attacks? I've tried pressing the button at different times, and failing it, and it never seems to do anything at all.

I don't think it's a thing for your own basic attacks, it's just referring to the button prompts that come on screen to power up your skills. Perfect guards are the only thing you can do without prompts.

Yes i know. That's what I'm talking about. The timing button prompt appears to do literally nothing so i must be doing something wrong

You mean Ichi's default special? You have to mash it out, when you do it enough it'll let you know. It's not a single button prompt

I knew someone would say that But no i don't mean that either. The actual timing-based ones The mash action command is real easy and says what it does when you succeed too, which is why I'm so baffled that i can't seem to get anything out of the other one with any timing

There are two types of skill command, there's the mash (pretty self explanatory) and a timing based one. The timing one took me a little bit to figure out because you're supposed to hit the button when the circle constricts around the button, not when it's just in the general blue area. The worst part is that every skill that uses the timing based one has a different timing window, some are pretty generous and some are really specific.

I tried, i did! Thanks for the proper timing info though, that helps. It really isn't very apparent from the prompt itself when you're supposed to press. Which is kinda bad considering that's its whole job

you can turn off the timing prompts in the settings and the game will just randomly throw you bonuses instead - it works out to about the same as doing it yourself

Yakuza 7 added sneaking into high level zones to my turn based RPG and it rules. There are some issues here and there (job changing is a little annoying) but its so so good Edit: Game is ahistorical, Virtua Fighter 5 came out 14 years ago, not 18.

Yakuza 7 was very easy for a pretty long time, but holy poo poo did it get start to get hard after Chapter 7 and I absolutely do not appreciate these boss fights. I mean grinding for this is pretty on brand for a jrpg, but god they feel awful

There is a visible Club Sega sign in a flashback that takes place in 1976, because you see it through a window and they only changed the inside for that scene. Isolated from the time stream indeed.

Bought like a dragon and so far loving it. Always wanted a 3d modern take on a present time rpg. No space future or fantasy past. Just me grinding through life with my buds. Strangely even though I usually prefer arpg's I never really stuck with any of the prior yakuza games. I think I needed more stats and gear for my lizard brain.
