yeah jrpgs are way too hardcore to figure out durrrr gently caress do I use the fire sword on the fire boss? how do I move to one area to the next?! ugh this boss is too hard should I grind??

i'm saying if you need more simple, perhaps you should move to a game like, oh, I dunno, call of duty pleb

I missed the part where I talked about battles in JRPGs. It looks to me like I was talking about all the bullshit in them that completely wastes your time.

My favorite RPG is that Anticipation game for NES with the teddy bear and the horn, I think a stiletto too but I was too young for that filth.

The best part about anticipation was the cover because it had eight people on the cover watching the viewer in Anticipation wondering if you would play the game to find out if eight people could actually be interested in these bleep bloops all at the same time

its a relaly slow game. the menus the dialogue the animations the battles everything is so dang slow

You could speed them up.

I think they had the menu option rear end backwards where 1 was the fastest and 9 was the slowest so I can see why some people would gently caress it up.

Edit: true story I beat the game without realizing you could save on the world map. you couldn't in mario rpg so my dumb child brain didn't think to try it here.

I liked Terranigma until you got closer to the end. The whole last couple of areas you go to are so confusing plot-wise.

I remember someone actually being able to import Black Sigil's assets into Chrono Trigger before Zeality decided to scrap all ROM hacking. :suicide:

wait a minute there's no more CT rom hacking? it seemed to consist entirely of either lovely "hard mode" hacks, an arena mode, or hacks about mediocre fanfiction, but that's crazy. why would he do that?

Bioware Writing is Win and hell the Mass Effect series is awsome. But Baldur's Gate barely has any writing at all and the core systems are fucken broken.

That's because 2nd edition D&D was loving broken, which was the system it was using.

If asked, I would agree that I loved Chrono Trigger but I would add that there were many really amazing RPGs released the same year CT was (:eng101: 1995). Earthbound, Tales of Phantasia, and Phantasy Star 4 to name three, and all of these games were better than Chrono Trigger IMHO.

So yeah, I loved CT and I'm glad it exists because it's an amazing game, just not my favorite.

Though, any time anyone asks me what my favorite RPG is I tell them it's Blue Dragon.

PS: Phantasmagoria was also released in '95.

FF9 was great but it had some pretty glaring issues. Namely that the battle system was slow as gently caress. An emulation patch or remake that sped up battle animations and removed the load times would be baller as gently caress though.

Also that several of the party characters just stop mattering to the plot abruptly. Or never mattered to the plot at all.
