They're not all THAT similar in story or tone but they are dice based dialogue rpgs and they're both quite good so yeah probably you'll like the other if you like one.

Speaking of bad RPGs, I'm back on Bravely Default 2 and I'm enjoying it? The lack of dungeon maps and layouts of said dungeons is still bad, but I'm starting to get some more classes and the difficulty isn't as stupid as it was earlier. The story is pretty bland so far though, I just hit chapter 3 and there's the usual stuff about some crystals and whatnot. Don't know how long this game is, but I'll keep playing it for now. Ok bye

Harrow posted:SaGa games are one of the JRPG deep ends. There are several different "deep ends" in the JRPG pool and they don't necessarily intersect. Lots of bigtime JRPG fans don't vibe with SaGa even as they dive happily into other weird or niche JRPGs (and vice versa). I play ed saga frontier earlier this year and it was pure unbridled joy and that was after bouncing off it super hard like a d0dge ball to the back of the head all those years ago!!!

Harrow, accounting for my rekindled love for SaGa games, what SaGa game would you recommend I play next given that I've only ever played (or attempted to play) Frontier 1 and 2...???

Hell yeah!! fridge corn posted:Harrow, accounting for my rekindled love for SaGa games, what SaGa game would you recommend I play next given that I've only ever played (or attempted to play) Frontier 1 and 2...??? If you want one right now, SaGa Scarlet Grace is really fun. Really stripped-down presentation but one of the coolest battle systems around and it's surprisingly funny, too. If you can wait a month or so, Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song's getting a remaster that'll probably be pretty good, going by the SaGa remaster track record. It's the only other SaGa game I've sunk as much time into as Frontier. Pretty different (more standard medieval fantasy setting, characters all have the same main story but different things along the way, and there's a class system) but it's really good. Also the music is 10/10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXFGPtiMqqA FirstAidKite posted:Only "possibly"? :P Hey, he gets a lot nicer after he merges with his brother, regardless of who wins.

Honestly sparking is the easier one, because you can just ignore all the actual mechanics, look at the move tree, and run to the Bio Research Lab to spark what you want

Sparking isn't all that complicated really no, it's just funny to see how many variables go into it that even people who've played a bunch don't know about fridge corn posted:The hardest art to spark is always the last one you need for DSC It's kinda funny how almost every character has at least one DSC move that's not in their preferred moves list so there's always at least one move that's really hard to spark. But anyone can learn it if you're stubborn enough. Just ask me about teaching Blue the DSC.

Not that that's a huge deal, gun skills aren't too bad to spark because there isn't a ton of them.

VideoGames posted:That really does sound pretty intriguing. Having said that I really do just love recommendations and being surprised, so it was always going to be played this just confirms it You should play Dew Prism/Threads of Fate. It’s on the PS3 as a PS1 classic, it’s two full single player stories with unique twists on the gameplay for each, the artstyle is PS1 graphics at their peak, it’s charming as hell, and it will give you the feelings.

fridge corn posted:Show of hands please of everyone who is still vibrating exuberantly since the suikoden 1+2 hd remaster announcement 🙋♂️ Yooooo! I'm replaying five right now. After the remasters come out I'll replay three and then I'll think about four. I was an rpg nerd kid, my ps1 library was nothing but rpgs and, to a lesser extent, survival horrors, but Suikoden is my holy grail of niche rpgs and I cannot loving wait.

fridge corn posted:Show of hands please of everyone who is still vibrating exuberantly since the suikoden 1+2 hd remaster announcement 🙋♂️ I'll def get it because those two games deserve attention, though they aren't all that high on my favorites list because the battles are a bit basic. The music is great though and the spritework in 2 is very quality. I think I prefer the Breath of Fire games from the same period.

Incidentally on the subject of SaGa games, I've always been fond of Romancing SaGa 3 because I really feel like it does the best job of that open world feel they're going for. It's an RPG where, after the prologue, you really are free to go just about anywhere, do anything, recruit anyone. There's a main plot too but the game really doesn't give you any guidance, you'll just stumble upon it eventually (probably).

Feeling like I might take another break from Nuts and Bolts. It's a fun game but the creative demand doesn't really fit my 'I want a solution now' mindset and there's so much to do that it drags after a while. I'm enjoying the time I spend with it but also the idea of playing just this game for another couple of weeks is a lot
