It sure is. I assume the original Vita version was even worse.

It's kinda cool I guess, it makes the random battles take too long though. Would've been a better game if they had focused on fewer higher quality battles

Having a x4 speed option or something would have made it way better. Might stick with it just to see the story but it did not leave a good first impression after an hour.

Harrow posted:Anyone familiar with Undernauts: Labyrinth of Yomi? I saw a Wario64 tweet about it going up for preorder and the art looks cool. I haven't played a first-person dungeon crawler in a while so I'm curious how this one is. I'm missing that dungeon crawling experience in the absence of new Etrian Odyssey games. It's by Experience, which has a long history of making solid if not super innovative dungeon crawlers, so it's probably going to be at least okay.

Motto posted:Even the biggest caligula fans I know wouldn't have much nice to say about the gameplay The best I can say about it is is there is the skeleton of a fun and unique system in there. Making area control and timing matter is pretty interesting in an RPG. But the way it works in Caligula takes to long and is really finnicky

Zereth posted:Well, I grabbed it. Got any basic advice for getting started? System traps to a voi,d or anything? Honestly I don't think there are any system traps if you read the manual. Even Element selection isn't that big of a deal just because there's elemental rings that let you cover other magic anyway. (Though I would frankly take Lightning no matter what from what I see because come on, Spell Haste.) Could probably use a very costly talent reset system, but that's about it. Just... save often. You "will" die. Oh, one thing: talk to the animals. --- Skjorte posted:Full disclosure: I'm on friendly terms with the creator (or, well, at least he hasn't given me any indication that the blood altar is calling for my sacrifice), who's been super generous with his time in helping me get my own (unfortunately far less Lynchian) RPG Maker project on track.

Got any basic advice for getting started? System traps to a voi,d or anything? Awesome! Thanks for taking the plunge.  If you see a pentagram somewhere, go beat up the mini boss contained within it. Destroying these enemy strongholds is the fastest way to decrease monster activity and growth. On that note, in the mining camp, you can talk to an NPC that will ask you to set up a defense pillar. While not essential, I recommend you get this done before you log too many hours of play, especially if you're not having any luck finding pentagrams to destroy or quests to finish. One major thing that's easy to miss, or brush aside as insignificant, is the Ghost Town. Most of the stats (Population, Happiness, Crime, etc.) you see on the Continue Game screen directly relate to this mini game. Talk to an elderly gentleman on the side of the road between South and North Kattis to trigger the quest, then go west to visit the town and get briefed on how it works. From then on, you just check in every now and again (make sure to activate the fast-travel crystal! These are pretty easy to miss in general, but you'll want to activate 'em all) to get your salary, buy items at a 10% discount, and put to use whatever Population points you've collected. The town also has a sphere grid-type talent system, an optional NPC party member, as well as an option to respec skill points for each character. The manual that Tallgeese mentioned is a pretty comprehensive BeforeIplay for Wooden Ocean. Tallgeese posted:I noticed the butterfly in a certain town. I posted something on Steam he might find most murda. No idea if he checks the forums though, and his Discord link is kaput. He's been very quiet while working on the latest update, but I think he does read and take into account all Steam feedback, so I expect you'll see him writing in tongues at you eventually. Previous attempts at avoiding the disaster that the butterfly speaks of seem to have clashed with whatever magic goo he's had to put in there to pull off the faux 3D scenes without everything exploding.

What's a good hidden gem jrpg? I wanna get into a really big and dense jrpg, but I've tried or beaten most of the big blockbuster stuff of the last decade that people recommend. I tried some of the Falcom games, but couldn't really get into either of the translated Trails series.

It only just got translated to English last year for the Switch. Wild Arms 3 is the best game in that franchise, and the only one available for download in the Playstation store. It's a fun post-apocalyptic Western adventure, although the combat is pretty basic.

I tried some of the Falcom games, but couldn't really get into either of the translated Trails series. Could you list some of the games you've played and liked? Blockbuster could mean a lot of things. If you haven't the Whole Megaten series, barring a few, Persona 4, is worth playing. Nocturne HD just came out and could be a good starting point Shadow Hearts is one of my favorite series, I wouldn't call it super deep or anything but the battlesystem keeps you engaged and the story and characters are very well done. As well as having a very unique atmosphere. You can probably skip Koudelka and 3. Koudelka is...Interesting but I've already seen one person bounce from it on these forums. 3 is just not great Tactics Ogre LUCT for PSP is some of the best writing in games, and very dense, being a competitionist in it will lead you to madness. TWEWY for DS is great, can't rec the version for any other platform

Do you want like a long turn-based game, an action RPG etc? Games with set protagonists or SRPGs where you can build a party? Have you played Dragon Quest? 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 10 are all really long and good JRPGs. The Monster raising spinoff games for it are also really good if your in the mood for monster-catching/raising sims. If you like giant robot anime maybe check out Super Robot Wars?

Morpheus posted:Now, let's talk about Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights... It's supremely mediocre. Combat, music, movement, level design, basically everything that isn't the art is meh at best. Especially the combat and movement. It's not fast and responsive like a metroidvania, Dead Cells, Deedlit, etc but it's also not slower and intentional like Death's Gambit and Blasphemous. It just occupies some weird mushy middle ground that does not feel good at all. It's not a bad game, but it certainly isn't a good one.

Has a lot of the 90's jrpg issues (unskippable text/cutscenes, linear story, long spell animations), but the story has been fun so far and I enjoy the old style grinding, so worth a pickup.
