I played through Phantasy star 2 and managed to finish it and it sucked and beating the end boss is entirely based on luck if he attacks twice in a row with some powerful attack

It's going to be an insanely long time before a game beats it, and that game will be Dragon Quest 12.

how do people feel about the hard mode in dq11..it was refreshing to be scared of regular mobs but i got really sick of it after a while, bosses felt like an RNG mess unless you grinded a ton. wish you could've turned it off and back on

I have no idea how The World Ends With You has held up but objectively speaking, it has the best difficulty system and every rpg should copy it

It’s more the story and writing I don’t know if I would want to revisit than anything about the gameplay itself. Plus it’s like 50 bucks on switch which feels like a scam so I might just leave that one in the good gamer memories vault at least until I can find it on sale

they made a lot of shovelware garbage which is why the famicom has like 4000 games on it,actually

the main thing that's improved in jrpgs is pacing and combat speed, like there's a reason they add a turbo button to every old game port.

Also this. TWEWY was cool bc it basically had two difficulty inputs, a normal difficulty toggle which changed enemy drop tables and a character level slider where the more levels down you had = higher drop rates.

no random encounters and being able to just pick when you wanna fight like in dq11 is ideal

those are incredible and there's no real excuse not to have them in every game. Don't understand why Octopath doesn't have an equivalent tbh

Cyrus has an encounter reducing skill which I left on most of the time since it counteracted the over generous exp curve.

I have put 27 hours into octopath this last week 😳

the only jrpgs I played as a kid were the breath of fires that came out for the GBA I think? this reminds me of that and it’s been the only thing able to pull me away from phoenix Wright

I want to get into xenoblade, but idk if I’m just not far enough in or what but it hasn’t grabbed me yet like octopath did 😪

My experience with Xenoblade was that I didn't get it at all for like 5 hours of gameplay and then suddenly the curtain fell away and it all made sense.
