I'm bored as fuck in quarantine, what are some good JRPGs that'll suck me in for hours on end? Pic related is my favorite vidya, alongside Nier Automata.

Suikoden 3 was fucking great. Gonna look into Rune Factory, thanks user.
Carson Brown
Based taste. Also: Reminder that the nier 10th anniversary livestream will start in 10 hours
Julian Sanchez
Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully a remaster of Gestalt/Replicant pops up, though i doubt it.
Sebastian Diaz
If Xenogears is your idea of a good JRPG then I don't know what to tell ya kid. Try Breath of Fire II on the SNES for dialogue that's even more garbled and a story that makes even less sense than this overrated snoozefest. It even has an obnoxious high encounter rate just to make absolutely sure you won't be enjoying yourself. Right up your alley, I'm sure.
Luke Wood
Already played it m8
Lucas Roberts
Breath of Fire III is a classic.
Benjamin Nguyen
Top tier comfy right there.
Jaxson Ramirez
Replaying Xenogears right now. Honestly, I hoped it's nostalgia and I'd get bored after a few hours (I try to play games I haven't yet, instead of replaying old ones), but nope, it's still as fucking good as it was when I last played it, that is around 12 years ago.
If you say something like that, I bet you're going to list games with better stories and better written dialogues to help us improve our shit tastes.
In the meantime, while you're making the list, I'll look for a link to Xenogears Perfect Works for you - it's a book that explains the game's story. It's great for those, who couldn't understand it.

If you're talking about "comfy" games, that "suck you in", aside from the most popular ones, like FFs or DQs, I'd recommend:
Grandia II
Tales of Phantasia - PSX version
Lufia 2
Lunar
Phantasy Star IV
That would be great. I wonder if there's even hope.
Julian Bailey
Never heard of this, looks pretty neat. Thanks user, gonna play it tonight.
Eli Cook
How much do you make a year? If its less than like 30k-35k, you have no business doing anything other than working on yourself.
Owen Sanchez
Just note that the first decision the game gives you determines what route you take. Its really inconspicuous and doesnt signify to you at all that the decision decides the route you take. Just saying, if you decide to go with him you will get the easier route which is recommended for first playthrough
William Johnson
Oops, I meant Suikoden II
Joseph Richardson
Skies of Arcadia is pretty fuckin good. It doesn’t have the most unique or crazy deep story like Xenogears but it’s one of the best shounen adventures you’ll find. The sense of adventure is unrivaled, it kinda reminds me of One Piece in that sense. It’s also got lots of really cool side content, like discovering uncharted islands and hunting down wanted men. The story also knows exactly what it wants to do at all times, and has a nice mix of just fun character moments and surprisingly dark moments. Everything feels really perfectly paced, the game always has a perfect tone, and you’ll love every single character by the end of the game. It’s on dreamcast and gamecube, GC version has way more content but the music got kinda screwed. I’m sure you can find a patch online to add the DC music into the GC version of the game.

I've been replaying the .hack franchise.
Connor Lopez
The only thing stopping Xenogears from being a 10/10 game is how slow the text advances. It's irritating as fuck for anyone above a fourth grade reading level.
Anthony Sanders
Also the main character (& the main cast in general, desu) is based as fuck. If you like Simon from Gurren Lagann, then you’ll love Vyse.
Thomas Morris
I'm playiing Tales of Vesperia right now on Switch
I'm enjoying it
Jaxon Morris
Yeah... and the fact that the game is blatantly unfinished to the point it becomes a VN, but let's forget about that.
Jack Bailey
No I didn't Suikoden II is just okay. He wants grindy weebshit. You Can't break III for that.
Tyler Foster
I fucking wish i could play this again for the first time. I've played the DC version though. What's new on Gamecube?
Benjamin Green
Same composer as Xenogears
Thomas Cox
More JRPG+Turn-Based Strategy, but if you can get your hands on this, fucking do it
It would be a classic here if Sony publishing pulled their heads out of their asses early PS1 launch.
Dominic Morris
Suikoden 3 was great until the Flame Champion choice shit. It completely fucks over the character you choose, he/she becomes a blank slate. Ruined the game for me.
Gavin Hill
If you haven't played it yet, you can put a lot of hours into this one.

>monster fusion system
>city building

So lads, Breath of Fire 3 for PSX or PSP?
Daniel Torres
PSX emulated on Wii

So many missed opportunities
Jason Diaz

so you can play the fishing game right from the menu, instead of making an extra savestate
Ethan Perry
Speaking of Suikoden, are there any other games that do character recruitment as well as these games. I've only played Suikoden II so far but I loved how it made me feel like I was slowly building up an army in my castle over the course of the game.
The only other games that come to mind are Skies of Acadia and Infinite Space on the DS, and I guess Mass Effect 2 to a lesser extent.
Nicholas Lopez
I have started playing Final Fantasy games for the first time and I find them very enjoyable. Still, I can imagine that you must have played them before. Currently on FF IX and loving it.

I started playing Front Mission 3 not too long ago, digging it so far.
Anthony Bell
Coz you played it when you were 9 and you haven't played it since. Stop recommending garbage you haven't played since 1945.
Good game but they ruined the translation. The team literally said they threw the script out and made shit up.
>I’m sure you can find a patch online to add the DC music into the GC version of the game.
You can't.
Josiah Nelson
Give me a vidya to make me feel bad as much as NieR - already played DQ8 so that doesn't count.
Jason Turner
Rean's early games are solid. Trails in the Sky is comfy as fuck.
Juan James
ys 8 maybe?

what the actual fuck? when did Yas Forums suddenly develop good taste and actually recommend good games in a thread?
Jordan Thomas
Lol imagine giving a fuck about this when the dollar is actively getting printed into nothing
Kevin Wright
Suikoden 1 & 2.
Ian Thomas
Legend of Dragoon
Lunar SSSC
Breath of Fire IV
Wild Arms
which one and why?
Jaxon Gomez
All of them, fuck you user i ain't playing this game
Jace Ortiz
I've been hearing about how good this is for 20 years and finally gave it a go a month ago. I'm interested in some of the story concepts that I know pop up later (the fact that God is a machine that you fight was spoiled for me ages ago), but man, the game just felt like more of an interactive book and I haven't played since Fei agreed to join a Gear battle in prison since it got pretty boring.
Jordan Parker
which one do i play right now
Blake Watson
Based.
not even worth mentioning good games for xenolets. By experience I know you can't grasp what is a interesting game so even less what is Art. Keep your mind busy with what you got man, maybe try some undertale so you don't challenge your brain that much.
Michael Lewis
Play Breath of Fire IV first,
I bought it and I wanna know if it's good or not.
Julian Brown
k
Dominic Robinson
Did they fuck or nah?
Oliver Wright
This is a pretty god tier thread so far
Fei 100%, canonically got laid
Levi Gomez
BoF IV is a masterpiece of pixel art. Not only it has an actually interesting story involving gods and mythos (Not like the evaxploitation that is Xenogear), the playstile is damn great! You can combo your magic/skills, change party members during battle.
Asher Long
Give me some JRPGs with fun action or turn-based combat. I’m always up for something new and discovering some new faves.
Also, I recommend stuff like DQ5, FF9, Lost Odyssey, and TWEWY if you don’t mind trying something new.
Easton Harris
How does Breath of Fire III compare if I may ask?
Michael Clark
I wish Sega would rerelease Arcadia
Connor Gonzalez
Radiant Historia and Baten Kaitos Origins are always the first that come to mind when I see that question. Fantastic games, check em out.

If I remember correctly they fucked long and hard but she couldn't get pregnant so they created Emerald in replacement for their kids.
Noah Parker
What the fuck is wrong with zoomers? saw a twitter thread yesterday where a guy said that Joker and Shulk are the best jrpg protags. shulk isn't even the best xeno protag
Easton Turner
I just want to play Phantasy Star Online again anons
Tempted to get my Dreamcast out and play solo like a fag
Cooper Allen
I am playing it right now, for the first time. The gameplay is generic, the dragon gene system is not that great as everybody says, the story so far is quite mediocre (I am on angel tower 2nd) and for the love of God, having almost all the bosses (and a lot of random mobs) with confusion is a pain in the ass, totally a cheap way to balance the game. Since the chronology of the world of BOF is supposed to be 4>1>2>3, I would recommend you skip the first trilogy. 4 Is trully great and a cornerstone for RPG's on PSX era.
Asher Bailey
Final Fantasy 7, 9, 10, 13-LR, Type 0

>shulk isn't even the best xeno protag
Yeah, he's carried by his dub.
Hell, until Rex came around, I'd go so far as to say he's the WORST Xeno protag. Pretty much every party member in Saga has more depth than him.
Christian Stewart
Isn’t Joker literally a self-insert?

>Kim/Fei finishes fucking Elly

Alpha as fuck.
Noah Gray
I totally forgot to include Radiant Historia in my post. Overall fantastic game and the battle system is a large part of why it’s great. I’ll also be sure to check out Baten Kaitos as well.
Lucas Garcia
Chrono Cross
Front Mission 3 (2 full campaigns that are each like 40 hours)
Radiata Stories
Valkyrie Profile 1 and 2 (Just have a guide open for VP1, you'll never get the best ending without it, and the other ending is a whatever dungeon followed by a non-ending, so do yourself a favor and have a guide open. Also play on hard, it's not much harder but has bonuses)
Tactics Ogre
Legend of Mana
Dark Cloud 1 and 2 (you can safely skip 1 if you feel like it)
Lunar Silver Star Story and the Lunar 2 Eternal Blue (both for PS1)
Wild Arms (1-3 and then stop)
Tales of Symphonia
>Ellie's gear that she uses for the vast majority of the story is called "Vierge"
>Vierge is french for "Virgin"
>After that scene, she never uses it again but instead starts using her omnigear
It's pottery
Josiah Carter
Nocturne, get the Hardtype patch for extra fun.
David Torres
Huh, never noticed that. That does confirm she's pure, right?
Luke Ross
is smt4 good? heard ppl talk shit about the map
Austin Fisher
It's pretty good. Oldschool SMT fans will tell you it's shit, but its a pretty good game. It's just probably the easiest SMT, especially after you get past the second major boss.
