I'll second Jesto's post. I've gotten most of the way through Last Scenario and it's a ton of fun and does have that early Final Fantasy vibe to it. It's also far and away the hardest RPG I've ever played, so if you want a challenge pick it up. I didn't get through much of Exit Fate but not for lack of interest.

GreenBuckanneer posted:Oh my GOD Last Scenario's mini game is loving lovely. Why yes I love the FF9 system of you lose the game oyu lose cards haha YOU DONT HAVE ENOUGH TO PLAY Pretty much this. I played one game, got my rear end handed to me without even realizing what I did wrong, and never played again. I know you can get prizes for trading in certain cards, and I think there's an optional boss if you collect every card in the game, but gently caress that.

Gilg posted:I've got an itch for a traditional class-based RPG, preferably for the DS but possibly also Wii or PC. I'd like one where you "master" classes fairly often and then move on to others. Like Final Fantasy Tactics or Disgaea without the tactical aspect or Dragon Quest 9 but with more frequent "class mastering". I might be forgetting how it plays, but I think Final Fantasy X-2 is the most recent example of that type of game that I've played. Easiest to find would probably be the Final Fantasy III remake for the DS, methinks.

Doc Hawkins posted:Just gonna say it: I am in literal disbelief that people actually buy and use strategy guides. I bought the BradyGames guide for Tales of Symphonia just because there's so much extra stuff in that game and it was a pretty well-made guide. I want to say I bought it after beating the game at least once though I'm not sure. At any rate, that was the last one I ever bought because these days you can find all that stuff for free with minimal effort.

niggapolis posted:the funny thing about the bad voice acting in baten kaitos is that it was intetional. its a pretty weird mechanic were the closer the relationsip between the main character and the spirit thing (ie you, the player) the better it sounds to simbolyze you being closer to the human world or something like that. Wait really? If you turn on Surround sound in the game's Options the "tin can" effect goes away. I never knew it served a purpose

No swords OR magic there and they're very well regarded.

SatansBestBuddy posted:Also, I distinctly remember Baten Kaitos having an option buried in the menus to turn off voice acting, which I used for however long I was playing the game until I had to return it to Blockbuster. If memory serves, you have to switch to Surround sound in the game's options, which eliminates the echo for some reason  It's definitely a worthwhile title but being on the Gamecube and having terrible voice acting hurt its appeal. The game is absolutely gorgeous (maybe the best looking Gamecube title), has a really great soundtrack (as a brass player I find it almost  -worthy) and the combat system is one of the most fun I can think of.

Making my way through a bunch of random 3DS demos ahead of its eShop closing down, and I'm currently playing something called 7th Dragon III Code: VFD, which seems fun enough but is something I've never heard of. What's the cool stuff in this game that would separate it from the several other jRPGs/turn-based RPGs that I own but not played?

Does anyone here know if your Streetpass data in Bravely Default (the first one) is saved on a system level, or if it's saved on a per-file basis? Would be pretty happy to have all of my little Streetpass village dorks available in the event that I want to replay this game which I haven't actually beaten yet

Missed Bravely Default chat on the last page, I've been (very) slowly playing through the first game and wishing that I didn't have such bad class ADD in these types of games. But it takes so loooooong to level these dang things up! Also, does anyone know if Streetpass information is saved on a system level or a file level for this game? If I ever decide to start a new file in this game it'd be nice to have all of my little dorky villagers.

Ace Transmuter posted:I think I remember the StreetPass stuff carrying over. Oh for sure, but there's some formula by which each character's combat stats are calculated that really favors you going deep into one or two classes rather than having a few levels in a bunch, so I'm getting beat up a bit because my part is underleveled in terms of class. Yes I know it's my own dang fault!

Junpei posted:I'm trying to recall games in which you had characters who could equip multiple weapon types that didn't have some sort of skill tree system that made using multiple weapon types unfeasible until the endgame when you had enough points to max everything (Dragon Quest 11, EO, etc). Edgar in Final Fantasy VI can use both swords and polearms, but most players will never discover that because why wouldn't you just use the Tools command all the time?

Inspector Gesicht posted:What RPGs go simple with the stats, and which go overboard? I think this is a little different from how other posters have interpreted "simple", but I've always appreciated how the various Mario RPGs have kept their star numbers relatively low, especially HP and MP which don't seem to go above 100 until the endgame.

I remember reading a Nintendo Power article for something for Aiden (Aidyn?) Chronicles: the First Mage, which IIRC was supposed to be an adaptation of a pen-and-paper RPG system on the N64? It looked ugly even by N64 standards and overly complicated, and I don't think I've heard anyone ever talk about it. That being said I remember liking Quest 64 at the time, or at least finding it engaging enough. But by I was getting my RPG fix on other Nintendo platforms at the time

Been scooping up RPGs on my 3DS as that digital store is getting sunsetted, help me prioritize what to play- Bravely Default 1 (been chipping away at this for a while) Etrian Odyssey IV Crimson Shroud Fire Emblem Awakening Kingdom Hearts DDD Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology Dragon Quest VIII if I can figure out how to put a larger SD card in this thing? E: Also something called a "Culdcept Revolt" which is $5 until tomorrow and not a huge download, so I might just grab it for funsies. I think it's an RPG?

Since you have EO on there I'd assume so but the 3DS SMT games are the best in the franchise, IMO. I never got a consensus from the goon hivemind on which 3DS title was The One To Get, so I didn't get any of them  Also SMTIV would have eaten up all of the remaining space on my memory card, when I finally get off my butt and buy a larger card I will take another look at the series on there.

FirstAidKite posted:Hi I'm still playing Stella Glow and just got through chapter 3 and wow Nonoka is just terrible and I hate that she is definitely going to be very useful in battles. I played the demo of that as part of my ongoing 3DS exploration, and I kind of enjoyed the gameplay despite being a big baby when it comes to tactics games like Fire Emblem. However, the point at which the demo ends (when your village is wrecked and you're conscripted into the royal army) might as well have involved a giant banner reading "it's about to go Full Waifu up in here". How waifu-y does it get beyond that point?

During the intro/demo chapter, I told the childhood friend to believe in herself and the game told me that was the wrong dialogue option. And as we all know, there's nothing more attractive than self-confidence  Maybe think about that if you want me to buy into your relationship mechanics! If the relationship stuff is secondary and not too awkward then maybe I'll give it another look, but like I said I've got a lot of other stuff to get through on this thing so I'm being pretty choosy.

Going through my 3DS backlog and trying to figure out how to spend the last few dollars in my eShop account, is any of the DLC for the 3DS Radiant Historia worth picking up? Worth noting that I have not actually played the game yet Also I ain't touching any of this '00s XPlay stuff because it's gross as hell, but since a Baten Kaitos Origins review was the first thing I saw on this topic I feel obliged to say that the BK games kick rear end and it's probably worth picking up the remaster bundle on Switch if you haven't played them before, and also like deck battlers with really wild art direction. Too bad they couldn't get the rights to the English VO (or were too cowardly to remind people of the VO from the first game)

Finally putting some meaningful time into Bravely Default 1 after staring at it for years. I'm in chapter 3, and are the random encounters supposed to feel more mindful than JRPGs past or am I just not abusing the Job and/or Brave System hard enough?

Bongo Bill posted:If I remember correctly, chapter 3 is when it starts paying off to play very aggressively, but you don't yet have access to the ingredients that can make the ability combos really start popping off. You should always be on the lookout for ways to abuse the system, however. Yeah, I can start to see the sicko stuff materializing. My problem with these Final Fantasy V-likes is that I just never know if expects me to go deep on one or two classes per character or really spread them out, so I always seem to end up grinding a bunch of class levels that end up mostly worthless. Plus in BD your character's stats rely heavily on their current class level, so if I want to grind up new classes on everyone I have to do it kind of piecemeal; switching them all up at once is a great way to get my rear end beat.

I wish the random encounters in Bravely Default 1 were, like, 10% easier. The default encounter rate is fine but the enemies are just strong enough to make them feel like a hassle, I'm in Underflow right now and the group Fira + Silence ability that the Flare Lanterns have is the strongest trash mob move I've seen in quite a while. Wondering if it's too much menu fiddling to set the game difficulty to Easy when I'm wandering around and then dialing it back up to Normal for bosses, I'm coming up on 40 hours of playtime and it feels like I still have so far to go. Kind of just want to speed things along at this point.

Clarste posted:After a point I just turned off random encounters entirely and got by on boss experience only. It was fun. Yeah, maybe I'll just cut the encounter rate in half and see how that feels. If nothing else I feel pretty OK on the Jobs front and I've had to do very little JP grinding. It wouldn't be so bad if there was some sort of Tent/Cottage item, for a game that's very purposefully apeing the era of Final Fantasy being discussed right now that feels like an oversight to omit those.
