Nobody:
JRPGS: An ancient evil has awakened
Spiky haired protagonist: awww shieeet

The 4 elementals are redpills they hammer into media all the time
Have you still not got it?

How many games actually have that story. I can only think of Bravely Default and everyone shits on the story.

I wonder as well but at least I know which people I should avoid based on their taste. JRPGs are literally the niggers of video game storytelling.

Where did this trope come from, Final Fantasy 1 or an older anime?

I grew up playing them so they’re basically a part of me now
I can find enjoyment in the shittiest jrpg

>Nobody:
fuck off back to youtube comments or wherever the hell this spawned from

>How many games actually have that story
Many older JRPG's have stories centered around elemental crystals, mana energy etc. E.g. Tales of Vesperia with its blastia nonsense.

I think it's related to the Chinese Four Symbols in some ways

I’m pretty sure there are like 15-20 jrpgs where you collect all the elemental powers and there is a Yggdrasil world tree, and only a third of them are Tales games.

Final Fantasy 1

I guess some people just want to play something very basic without any effort or thinking involved.

Environmentalism/power of the Earth was a huge thing in the 90's. It was everywhere, even in fantasy.

All wrong

You know it.

>don’t like genre so it all must be shit
don’t be a nigger

Name 7 (seven) games.

what jrpg has inspired combat? Curious. I'm guessing TWEWY.

World trees are in the Mana series, Tales series, Final Fantasy, Xenoblade, Dragon Quest, Skies of Arcadia, Baten Kaitos, Breath of Fire, Etrian Odyssey, Fire Emblem, Legend of Dragoon

>there's actual FMA vidya with an OC donut steel girl
Well, didn't know that

And the fanboys have the nerve to say that JRPG's are more original than WRPG's, fucking lmao.

tales of vesperia

FF1
FF3
FF4
Romancing SaGa
Golden Sun
DQ7
Bravely Default

If the whole genre has repetitive titles like "tales of", then you know it's far from being original

>golden sun
I guess it's close enough

"I don't know what happened, guys. We'd better reawaken the 4 elemental crystals again for the 6th time!"

They are

Bravely Default counts as 7

>"I've fucking had it with this fucking fairy no I'm not fucking stopping this time fuck you."

>Final Fantasy
the only FF games with world trees are 5, 9, and Lightning Returns

Poor tired Edward.

Yes of the series on that list, mana is the only one where every game has it(I think)

>Bravely Default
but in bravely default you awaken the 4 elemental crystals to power up the god of darkness

How do you make a non-linear jrpg that doesn't follow that trope?

Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse

>Why even play JRPGs?
comfy stories of adventure.

To be honest, even Bioware's games followed this trope:

>prologue
>go to 4 areas to get 4 things
>end game

It allows for some false nonlinearity I guess.

Fuck you, I'm going to pray to the crystal so hard it explodes so I can be done with this shit

I honestly can't think of a nonlinear game that doesn't do this unless it's a game where you are descending/ascending something.

Ironically, by making the stakes lower. Persona 5's first arc comes to mind. Instead of saving the world, you're taking down a sleazy teacher that has personally wronged you and your friends. It's not as grand in scale, but it's something that isn't as abstract and unrealistic as the entire world being destroyed by an evil entity just because.

>P5
>non linear

art imitates life

I was just thinking mostly in terms of story.

That's why I love Atelier games, stakes are always low and you get more immersed because it's more believable.

fuck off zoomer

(F)lying (f)airy

Do JRPGS even have gameplay

how can this turn based boredom be fun to people?

they are. fuck off back to your soi simulators snoycuck

t. braindead button masher

Yes thats exactly what you do in 90% of jrpgs there is no strategy or tactics involved
Play an jrpg with actual gameplay like battle network or twewy

I'm genuinely curious, also
>t. button smasher
I like a plethora of genres, but specifically JRPGS are boring.

Tell me what's fun in best game of all time combat?
Don't bring up story/art/ost/atmosphere, strictly combat.
