I think I'll refund it for now since $30 is a bit steep for a game I can see myself abandoning in a few more hours, but I might give it another go if it goes on sale, or if they release the Hard Mode mentioned in their most recent news update.

you can do an interesting thing with colette getting her voice and identity taken away. tales of symphonia does not do that she just doesn't say anything for three hours and then it gets broken and she gets her personality back and spends the rest of the game playing a bit part because the bad guys have no reason to care about her anymore symphonia just does not have any real moment in which colette makes a major choice that changes the tides of the game, there's sort of that with her asking the angels to save both worlds but ultimately everything that happens after is lloyd's choice. it's very different from what yuna gets in ffx where her refusal to become a sacrifice is grounds for the final act of the game, a showing of how much more independent and willful she's become since the start of her journey, how much hope she's come to have for creating her own, better path forward. colette in symphonia, literally gets a skit about how she doesn't really have much to do anymore The Colonel fucked around with this message at 23:53 on Feb 13, 2024 |

tales of symphonia is a game that opens its final dungeon with the bad guy literally possessing colette and going "hahaha... i have kidnapped your friends, lloyd... and you must come to my evil sky castle to save them!!!" before flying away into the sky

ImpAtom posted:Honestly "the lady is the chosen important one with the legendary powers and destiny but she ain't the main character" was an extremely common thing for a good long while. Eh, I would classify that as a type of "ordinary person meets extraordinary person and is pulled into their extraordinary world." The main distinction being that Lloyd always lived in that world anyway, he just never paid attention before because he's really really dumb.

also plenty of stuff has characters with no voice or an 'emotionless' shtick that manage to express more identity than colette does. symphonia largely just isnt that interested in colette as a character

ToS2 is bad because the main character's mystic arte is called 'Ain Soph Aur', meaning light without limit, but it is a dark elemental attack. Also courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality.

Endorph posted:exit fate is one of the better rpgmaker games thats an actual classic style RPG and not some weird indie horror thing bewilderment posted:I second Exit Fate because like... it's a real RPG, it's free, and it's even a Suikodenlike with a decent plot (that cribs heavily from Suikoden2 and a little from Xenogears). Will probably never be sold for money since all the music is taken from other JRPGs. Junpei posted:while we're on the RPGMaker stuff I'm friends with the developer of this game, it's just a demo but I really like it Thanks for the free games recommendations, I'd actually glanced at Exit Fate years and years ago but Suikodenlikes always give me anxiety because of missable and perma dead characters. Snooze Cruise posted:last profit is neat, soulestination is even cheaper than it normally is The 7th Guest posted:yea final profit is neat, and so is the lost art of innkeeping, tho neither are conventional RPGs in the slightest Love Final Profit. Soulestination is Tactical Nexus style game that's already in my library because I love the idea of playing those games more than I'm actually good at them. Put the Lost Art on my wishlist. Catgirl Al Capone posted:very personally speaking, VX Ace is still my favorite, I very much dislike the newer web-based ones. they reek of chromium embedded jank. that said VX Ace has limitations, like it can only get up to 640x480 resolution unless you do something wild like program an entirely new game executable for it or something. TheMightyBoops posted:A license of MV is cool because it’s all built with JavaScript and if you know a little JavaScript it’s easy to poke at. Good to know that people have preferences on RPG Maker itself but don't think I'm actually compelled to make anything. Thank you anyway.

Symphonia was my first so I assumed the entire franchise was poo poo and didn't play another one until Vesperia came out and then I knew it was a poo poo franchise. Abyss I still played because I have pattern recognition issues and sometimes it pays off.

I really love Symphonia and I'm sure a ton of that had to do with when I got it and the relative dearth of RPGs I played before it. I dunno if I'll ever go back and replay it, but it is one of the few games I've beaten more than once and there's still stuff in it that stuck with me even after like 20 years. Also for me Symphonia pretty much is Tales since I think I got bored of and abandoned uh pretty much every other Tales game I tried afterwards for one reason or another except for Abyss (which I also love).
