Random JRPG News Thread

[GhostCow]

Sisters vs Sisters was so bad that I find it hard to be excited

 

[frajaq]

so how was this game? dont see threads about it here, unless its not considered an JRPG

Death End Request is my jam. I hope whatever comes next in that series is more like the first entry and less like the second.

Generally, people here are a bit more restrained and don't make as many hype threads as in GRPG.

Anyway, this one's on my list to play soon. I'll try to remember to make a thread about it when I do.

I mostly try to make threads only after I've played games for a bit, but your question has invigorated me to thinking that maybe we should have more hype threads in here in the first place.

There are 2 people playing in the last jrpg you played thread, you can probably discuss there. This is on my wishlist but Nipponese dev has been retarded with regional pricing so I will have to wait for discount.

That being said impressions seems to be a Musou game for mobs + souls-lite for bosses with Fate coatings so I don't think it will be very popular in the Dex

 

[Lyre Mors]

It actually sounds pretty good. Not usually a big fan of NoisyPixel reviews, but just watched this one and it was pretty well-written. Gave a good rundown on what to expect.



I'm completely ignorant of the Fate series, so this might have to be my first foray into it.

Funny but some of the most popular threads on Codex tend to be those that feature the least 'Codexian' themes.
Don't worry about what you think might be popular here, everyone is about as normie as it gets. They just like venting here, so it creates a different atmosphere.

I don't know anything about this series but 4 games were just dropped on steam:





River City Rival Showdown port has unresponsive controller input and needs work apparently.

 

[Abu Antar]

The first three are old DS games. I have them on Switch. I also have Mercenary Wings, but haven't played yet.

Super small budget Final Fantasy Tactics is the only way to describe the three first games.

Wish they would go back to the days of the OG 4 games or GU trilogy. After GU the series has been shit for some fucking reason. And these days you don't need muh HD graphix too as "normal" anime graphics like Gust games are acceptable

I played I think the first two games in the original tetralogy. I remember enjoying the media-spanning consistency in the storytelling, but remember the gameplay being extremely dull - which I guess makes sense because it was supposed to be a representation of MMO gameplay.

Am I misremembering, or was I just missing something back then? This was literally right when they came out, so a long time ago. I'd probably be willing to give them another go.

No you got that right, it's just MMO grind the single player game. It's thematically consistent at least, but either you get into the grind of that style of thing or not. I liked it when I was younger, but I also used to no life MMOs. Not sure I could do it these days.

 

[lightbane]

Were the GU games better in that regard regarding grinding? I still have to play them.

Since it doesn't have its own thread, I guess I'll post this here. Got QUESTER since it was on sale for half off, but am sadly going to have to refund it. I didn't realize the dungeon was randomly generated, and that's just a big no-no for a dungeon crawler in my eyes. Shame, because enjoyed most everything else about it.

I watched about 2/3 of this trailer before I stopped looking for the female minotaur in a hijab.

 

[Rean]

Wtf

 

[Modron]

Peaceful female's weapon of choice is a pistol please tell me she has an improvised explosive skill.

And I noticed something else - the character designs are nicely painted (which doesn't mean they're good in themselves), but on the conversation screen they look worse than Neptunia.

Really? My map appears to be the same one shown on the store page, and I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else. I guess I could try starting a new game and seeing if it changes. If true, it's a bit unfortunate on the dev's part.

I tested it myself, though not extensively. Would love to be proven wrong.
