JRPG THREAD #2

Lost Odyssey is kino.

Either Lost Odyssey or Resonance of Fate

I've played just about every mainstream jrpg and for the most part they're okay. I've only played DQXI and I didn't like it.

What is your favorite "hidden" gem jrpg? For me it was discovering the Secret of Mana 2 with english patch before it was popular. Do any of you have any other recommendations? I recently heard about Bahamut Lagoon and will try that next.

strange journey redux hard and ys viii on nightmare come to mind. If you want something retarded, xenoblade 2 on hard

>FFVIIR is such a masterpiece
Nah. It's okay at best.

Gonna ask my FFT question again
Is Ramza the only unique character you control throughout the entire game?
Also, how easy is it to break the game and make Ramza OP as fuck? Right now he's a knight with Brawler and Counter and he's fucking everything up.

define recent

>What is your favorite "hidden" gem jrpg?
Definitely Wild Arms 2. Unfortunately for the EOPs, the translation is ass.

What are your honest opinions of KH1, anons? I’m currently replaying it and finding it to still be just as good as I remember it.

Fuck, I shouldn't want to replay shining resonance when I have so many legitimately good games on my backlog but I'm tempted. The gameplay is nowhere near as strategic as I usually like but the characters and music made the game really comfy.

SJ is not even remotely hard. There are no hard SMT games. Stop this retarded meme.

Make your own opinions

it's not bad it's just generic, the story is generic and like that other user said just play Refrain, it gives you 2 good characters and because they never interact with anyone but the MC he kinda looks like a schizo talking to the air

Oh and enjoy dragon mode until the game ruins it, then it can get a little bit of a chore to play through but it's not, say Compile Heart bad

KH1 and 2 FM are fucking fantastic.

Depends what kind of setting you want.

I wrote that whole thing. You can actually try responding to specifics in it if you want, or you can turn this into a "muh purists" shitposting thread.

Unique units are the most broken shit in the game

Absolute kino game I've never seen posted outside of /jp/. Play .hack because its a really fun ride

>#2
doomed thread

It has genuine charm and is actually a pretty great ARPG.

I also recently started replaying it. The early worlds are pretty awesome, but the backtracking in Deep Jungle fucking blows nutsacks.
I'm sad the series basically dropped the platforming after KH1.

>Is Ramza the only unique character you control throughout the entire game?
Been awhile, I remember there being a bunch of uniques, more than 10.
>Also, how easy is it to break the game and make Ramza OP as fuck?
everything in the game is easy to break. its not going to get any harder

Is there anyone more Chad than Adol?

>try to pick up back up again today and realize I've lost 5 hours of progress after formatting PC and thinking Steam Cloud had my back
Fuck.

Also,
>#2
Seriously?

Anyone got tips for DQ11? Fights are easy so far but I still don't really understand stats and scaling and which units are actually good. Erik seems trash, Sylvando too.

>#2
You dumb fuck the thread gonna get deleted.

Do you think that $12 is an ok price for Refrain?

This is a very accurate and honest review. My sentiments exactly.

What is a hard game to you?

What RPG has a lot of comfy towns and side quests? Platform is not a problem, most likely.

>Depends what kind of setting you want.
Deleted my original post because I was replying to something completely unrelated by mistake.
Honestly, I still very much like traditional medieval/European settings even if it is cliché but I'm very open to any suggestions.

No, no there is not. Dudes a beast

>I wrote that whole thing. You can actually try responding to specifics in it if you want, or you can turn this into a "muh purists" shitposting thread.
Fucking based.

>My sentiments exactly.
Of course they are.
You are the one who posted it originally and you are reposting it now and here for some reason.

>I'm sad the series basically dropped the platforming after KH1.
Yeah, I always found that to be a shame. KH1 felt like an actual hybrid of ARPG and platforming and it was good at making both things feel equally important.

Playing through Hacker's Memory and what's the deal with the wacky translation in the game especially the message in Digiline? Is this another case of SRW Moon Dwellers where they hired seamonkeys for localization?

is strange journey redux worth playing if i already played vanilla and didn't care much for it?

>Shining Resonance Refrain
Funny story for anyone that hasn't heard about this game
the original game came out with a marvelous system in which there were no continues, you die you restart from save OR pay 10 yen for a continue that reloads you on the battle you lost
Refrain (essentially the apology game) removed this system but back when I played it I didn't find it particularly difficult so I thought nothing of it
Until you reach a point in the game where a boss fight that comes out of nowhere starts a series of events that lead you to a dungeon with, tight corridors, lots of hard enemies and the hardest boss yet; and I thought "this is it, this was the point where they were sure the would get at least some people" because after the cutscene leading to that surprise boss starts there's no break or save point until you clear the entire area
yeah, I bought it on release and I don't really regret it, it's not that long but you can get 20-25 hrs easily

>if i already played vanilla and didn't care much for it?
Absolutely not

I started Trials of Mana in the collection.
Its okay so far, can't really say much since I only had time to play it for an hour. Its pretty gorgeous graphically, and though the combat is extremely clunky and slow, it feels way more responsive than SoM's combat, and is more enjoyable to play.

I picked Duran as my leader since I always go the warrior route for my MC, and I picked Riesz and Kevin as my party members. I picked Riesz because I though she was pretty cool looking, and I wanted to go for Hawkeye next, but I know that story line has a pair for each major issue or whatever, and I figured that it'd be better to grab one person from each path, instead of grabbing two from the same one.
