I started Suikoden after having never played it and I'm looking for guides for not missing any of the guys because I understand there's a ton of them to get but I literally keep running into big spoilers trying to read any. very dumb

Suikosource's guide (which Endorph linked) or this one go in order of when they're earliest available, so it should be fairly easy to avoid the (admittedly light) spoilers in those guides.

grieving for Gandalf posted:

even this one has kind of immediately in front of your eyes "available after you become leader of the resistance" which isn't exactly the most high intensity spoiler in a '90s JRPG but drat!

e: I wish these were more like "okay no sweat until you get to the Lake Fortress, then make sure you talk to everyone." generalized, vague, so I remain pure during my playthrough of the hundred-year-old game

Suikoden recruitment can get pretty esoteric in its requirements so guides can't really get more vague without it being to the point of uselessness.

Yeah, in the two times I've played through Royal I pretty naturally ended up in the level 90 range without doing any grinding save for what happened while gathering all of Jose's flowers.

Yusuke almost never left my party, with how much easier it is to trigger Baton Passes and the ludicrous damage buff his Baton Pass-relevant abilities get.

Yes? What would you describe the music as? It's got a really silly Halloween vibe to it which fits the Ghost Train' perfectly. It's a really cool song, by the way. Nothing against the tune.

Your read on anything and everything in any thread I see you post in genuinely baffles me.

I started playing Chained Echoes, the battle system is wonderful, the spritework is gorgeous and the music is catchy, but gently caress is the character dialog absolutely dreadful. Extremely stilted and with no personality or individuality to any character.

A remake of Wild ARMS 2 would be so welcome, as long as it's not, well, Alter Code F 2.

So Bro Nier is just as angry and single-minded as Father Nier? Sounds kinda interesting.

It's more that Brother Nier starts at a 4/10 on the furious scale, whereas Father Nier starts at a 7, then both eventually hit 10/10. The difference ends up more pronounced with Brother.

Worth noting that Replicant ver1.22 does improve the combat from "not good" to "serviceable."

yes I get it's a reference to his last name motif I want to know why they did that is all

Because Squall is exactly the kind of dork to think that going by a pseudonym is necessary in a situation where literally no one else cares

So... Radiata Stories

Star Ocean 2 Remake Remake is great to exist. I'm glad the best possible version of that game is coming out so that people can have the best time realizing that at it's peak SO as a franchise is less than mid.

Y'know, I agree with you a lot of the time.

My first JRPG crush was Katt from Breath of Fire II, and in light of that it's kind of surprising I'm not a furry.

Sometimes SaGa Frontier decides your hubris deserves to be checked and there's nothing you can do except accept its judgement.

I'm trying to think of the sickest but shortest-lived fit in rpgs. There's definitely at least one.

ImpAtom posted:

The protagonist's 'main' outfit. It's fine, pretty flashy and distinctive.

The disguise outfit, which I just think looks way cooler. It obviously evokes Tir McDohl but I just think it looks cooler.




He has two other outfits too but I like his 'disguise' one the most.
I think this has to go to Freyjadour's Royal Commander outfit, as you see it for like ten seconds of a single cutscene in the true ending of the game, and it fuckin rips

EDIT: Sialeeds' disguise also rips

RoF's combat system is all flash, zero substance. The winning tactic you learn in the first chapter is the winning tactic through the entire game, and it isn't that other tactics aren't viable, it's that other tactics don't exist.

i see... so what you are saying is ideally we should combine resonance of fate's system with the last remnant's. this is a great idea, and i am jealous i did not come up with it first.

FF4DS got hit the least by the faux-shakespearean Alexander O Smith train. I'm sure in large part that FF4 has comparatively little dialog and a very simple story compared to the other stuff Smith worked on.
