here is your """game""" of the year """game""" """play"""

asian girl feet

Sold.

looks great to me

mime

least difficult or complex enemy in the game

lol k

Tfw just got 4 party members

Don't know who to replace

What the fuck man
Like, the man is the MC, the little girl looks like is going to be extremely important in the story, and Luna is the healer.
Where the fuck do I put her? Her card mechanic looks fun but I just can't decide

only mentally ill/retards play JRPGs and VNs

just bought a copy, thanks

Sciel really becomes a thing you do after the main story, she's great for running in party post Act III when you can afford to put Verso to the side.
Though Verso is hands down the best breaker in the game if you build him right and is still pretty good to have in party in the post Act III game too so its still a hard call.
I don't think it would have broken the game mechanic to have a 4 person party tho though it would have given the player an extra attack over most enemy groups, but that would have been fixable by making the max enemy count 4 too so...who knows.

To be fair, you wouldn't be on a site like Anon Babble if there wasn't something wrong in your head

You don't need healers pretty shortly after getting the 4th. I find Lune to be the most useless party member due to her setups being slower than the other 3. I run Verso, Monaco and Maelle and focus on applying insane numbers of burning stacks with burn lifesteal picto.

turn based retards be like

YOOOOO THIS GAMEPLAY IS FIREE, LOOK AT THAT SO MUCH FUN AND EXCITEMENT, CAN'T WAIT TO DO THIS FOR 50+ HOURS

How come no one ever bothered to call the Mario & Luigi games dodge slop?

would you enjoy it more if there was a little window in the top right of someone playing subway surfers

complaining about games that you've never touched

The speed of the combat is fast you retard
Also, it's ironic that you post an ace attorney pic when those games were absurdly slow for VN standards and you were only allowed to have instant text for already seen scenes

Truth nuke

French games

No le niggur

This looks like Persona 3 remake.

turn based cuckoldry is such shit garbage shit

because in those games, those are mechanics that are not core

Is the girl in the middle okay? She moves autisticly.

Bro it's literally the fucking core of the battle system you retard
Shit, the new games even go as far as adding like 30 second long run sequences where all you do is dodge an attack and there are numerous equipment locked behind doing battles perfectly without ever getting hit

mad retard seething because everyone's having fun while he's here jerking his micropenis to being upset
LOL

I use the weapon for verso that applies burn on light dmg crit and the monoco ability that applies defenceless to get maelle to virtuous on the first turn then I build up by turn 2 I have verso at rank A if I was allowed to parry and I can just burn ap as monoco has the weapon that gives the party 1ap for upgraded skills and 2ap for almighty.

I average a little over a minute in normal fights typically it's over by the 3rd turn you can also turn off camera movement.

40 different scene transitions

character makes smallest slice attack

Holy shit, Bloat of the Year

Actually it's a rhythm game.

drop maelle, she trivializes all content very early

People don't like the new paper Mario games, only the most diehard of tendies will defend them.

No one was talking about Paper Mario.

All blacks got killed at the first 10 minutes

The developers knew what the people want

I think i found a very weird bug

So, im platinuming this game and im doing the music discs stuff (get all 33 discs). I was 32/33 because according to the wiki the last one is gotten after finishing the game (drafts collide) or something

So i was going through lumiere in Act 3, and in the opera house, i found a music disc. Called Lumiere. A music disc i already had back in the fucking prologue, the first one

yet i just got the trophy
what the fuck?

Persona menus + Souls-ish aesthetics + Paper Mario action commands

What's this, the ironic JRPG enjoyer trinity?

I haven't seen seethe like this since CP 2077 hit the best sellers for the second and third time
DELICIOUS

Literal schizo post
NO ONE was talking about paper fucking mario and the reason why people even hate the new games in the first place is because they fucking ruined the battle system. 64 and TTYD's battle system is similar to E33, they even have the option to parry too, though only the TTYD version can reflect damage
The Mario & Luigi games on the other hand play exactly like E33 you retard

People are trying way too fucking hard to shit on E33, it's pathetic

Who cares people who platinum games are niggers falling for Jewish tricks to artificially inflate hours played

do they really need the turn order

Do you play any video games at all?
Can you name a couple?
From what I can tell you just shitpost about multiple games all day

Yes, it works exactly like in FFX where speed influences turn order and you can do multiple actions in a row if you're fast enough

I hate video games

Noted

Is this a mobile game? What's with the horrible camera?

You can pretty much bench Maelle until Act 3. Everyone else's multi-hits reach max damage at that point, so she isn't really worth using.

Verso with Duellist, Combo attack and attack gives AP, as well as Marking Shots and attacking a Marked enemy gives AP etc. etc. lets you stack up so many actions from just Free Aim and Base Attacks that you reach A in a single turn. You don't even need Cheater for this, just mid-game Pictos.

Lune is hilarious in that you just max crit to 100%, run Trebuchim, cast Elemental Trick and then on the next turn you have all four stains and can cast her ridiculous screen clear apocalypse move. It only needs a little AP support and you're set.

People usually run Maelle with their OP weapon from the Arena so that lets her bust into Virtuoso combos instantly.

Monoco with the ability to use Free Aim to move the wheel can do some spicy memes.

Unfortunately only Sciel doesn't have a two-turn bullshit combo, but her support skills are insane in enabling other people's, so it's fine.

Maelle requires Rain of Fire, Swift Stride and Combustion to pull off her best damage

the reason maelle is busted is because with enough AP you can stendhal instantly and delete everything, even if you dont go that route you can instantly percee/flurry as early as the gestral village

not gonna play turn based trash but it looks better than the rest

same animations repeated like 80 times in a 1 minute clip

while fighting a single enemy

doesn't even get down to half hp

How can people stomach this

this is an optional boss that's entire gimmick is it keeps going until you perfect parry counter it. Then you get 1 turn to damage it and he starts over again. It's a very bad example to use for what the game is like

They like video games and enjoy playing them

What's the problem? You got ADHD?

not breaking shields with maelle

what a shitter

Yes, I do, and I'd appreciate if you not make fun of my condition

Why do leftoids hate this game so much? An anon posted how they were angry in resetera/gaming circle jerk because the main cast was extrictly white and straight

So when people say this is like Dark Souls, are they lying or just dumb?
Also...wtf are these enemy designs. I have no idea what kind of area that's supposed to be or why a mime monster is supposed to be there. It has no sense of place.

Actually it's not synced to a rhythm at all and animations don't line up properly.

Almost every image of this game looks like it's set in a cosmic shit-heap

the mimes are basically just gimmick fights that give you music records/new costumes

when people say this is like Dark Souls, are they lying or just dumb?

They're dumb. Dark Souls didn't pioneer misery or dodging enemy attacks.

ive seen david cage games with more gameplay

What about a limited amount of consumables that refills at fixed checkpoints that respawns the enemies if you rest at them?

i'm so tired of persona 5 UI

why did you speed it up lmao

Turn-based combat has no place in video games. It makes sense with board games, card games and the like, but zero sense for games that run on a computer where you can make the combat real time. It's tedious, not fun and takes away from immersion.

RPGs died for this.

I hate retarded normalfags so much it's unreal

Ok, thanks. I play it instead of being a miserable cunt on Anon Babble and find the combat pretty fun

You need to look into where the political left and right terms come from. The people sitting on the right in the French national convent wanted to keep the old political order and institutions, they were simply conservatives, and the left wanted radical change and take up all power by themselves. During the revolution ever more radical factions turned up and took power and lives of the older, less radical leftists. The pursuit of changing every aspect of society was at the core of the revolution - just ending the negative aspects of absolute monarchy wasn't enough - and it ended in bizarre shit tests for the population, like having to acknowledge an atheist, metric ten day week and a metric amount of hours in a day. Similar insane shit happened during the Spanish Civil War where the leftists wasted time digging up Christian cemeteries and molesting hundred year old corpses to dunk on the Christians they hated so much.
Leftists are mentally ill misfits that want to uproot society since they can't be happy and fit among other people.

Hey it's that bot opinion, again. Care to say it again you dumbfuck parrot, maybe this time it will come true.

KINO!

The characters are straight, but white? Buddy this cast looks like it's about to invade the Sindh from Gujarat. No, seriously, does this game take place on the India-Pakistan border? That could explain a lot.

They are white, they look like shit because they are badly sculpted models

I hate retarded normalfags so much it's unreal

self loathing is fine, but when you are going to suck down a bullet, then?

Yeah, I'm with you. It's additionally odd that the camera often goes to visually unappealing areas, like directly behind a character doing an attack. This seems symptomatic of how jittery media in general has become due to the rise of shortform content for smartphones.

Dark Souls didn't invent consumeables or checkpoints, or even checkpoints that let you level up
I can't say if they came up with the idea of handing you item refills at checkpoints, but I want to assume no as it's not exactly a groundbreaking feature.

Anon Babbleset era troons and Anon Babble browns are ass mad beyond belief

this game is so fucking based

Looks good, just bought it

Gustave and Maelle are white. Lune's asian and Sciel's a gyppo.

What's wrong with it? Seems more engaging than any turn based game that I have seen

Maelle won
the French won
I won
RPG lovers won
Codex won
Gamefaqs won
Heteros won

troons lost
Anon Babble lost
browns lost
Retard Era lost
Steam forums lost

I missed this. Am I locked out of it for the entire run?

asian

*french

everyone who disagrees with me is a bot

holy reddit
transition immediately

Why is it always action fags completelly seethe with infinite butthurt over 4 niggas in a row classic combat?

I mean, I'm not a turn based fag but I'm still able to enjoy turn based combat.

turnbased parry slop

Grim.

defense attribute

eeeewwwwwwwwwwwww

Sciel is godmode on all chapters
Maelle is amazing in Act 1 & 3
Monoco is godly in Act 2 and great at Act 3
Lune is shitty in all of them (compared to other party members at least)
Verso is the best in Act 2 and still great in Act 3, it's just that Maelle one shots everything, but so does every other character in 1 turn anyways

THIS!
SO MUCH THIS!!!
From Software showed us the path for true RPG.

the cancer that is QTE from 2008 has been discovered by the modern devs

It's over.

Lune requires Wildfire...which is an AOE which is a big deal, then Thermal Transfer, then Lightning Dance to deal the bulk of her best chain damage...which is 3 turns.

I don't use any of those spells. Use any of the AP at battle start pictos or the AP on turn start picto on both her and sciel and you can have Lune shit out Hell or Typhoon on turn 1 with sciel's intervention.

no
and it's not even her best weapon and you don't need it to carry early game - try Luna ignite everyone into Sciel Searing Bond; this combo will kill basically everything on Expert until act 3

MEANWHILE

Why does the short one look like that? Lol is it a boy disguised as a girl?

Oh my HEKKIN SICENCE IS THAT A PARRYDODGESLOP GAME but...... no........ it's turn BASED?!?? ahhhhhhh this is like DARK SOULS I LOVE THIS SO MUCH POGERINO POGPOGPOG

Maelle requires Rain of Fire, Swift Stride and Combustion to pull off her best damage

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I think retards on Anon Babble are just brain damaged. I love RPGs and I also love action games. Imagine only playing one type of game like your name was Jamal and you love Madden
LOL

do people really play this kind of slop?

Gustave is the MC

he doesn't know...

Lune is an AP battery and not a damage dealer. All you need to do is to cast Typhoon once and she'll max out everyones AP every turn. After that you just spam 9 AP attacks repeatedly every turn with every character, no setup needed.

the point of turn based is to fight using a 4 niggas party at once.

You can't do that shit with action games.

turn based slop

lol
lmao even

That weapon is not the best choice in both Act 2 & 3
Definitely best for Act 1 at least

parry slop

rpg

turn based

fucking retard holy shit

Sciel does the same thing AND can give someone an extra turn with 4 ap AND can apply all buffs to everyone in one turn
What a waste to use Lune as a second tier support

The board was praising this game a few days ago and now the narrative has changed. No opinion here matters in the slightest

it got popular, I miss the 2024 threads

You're acting like any of that matters when the game post Act 2 revolves around Mael one shotting everyone.

There is no Anon Babble, it's all spam from journo sites.

Game fucking sucks. Also stop getting propaganded you retarded dumbfuck zoomer play whatever you want, even if it's dogshit parryslop, i mean your entire generation is the reason why modern games are like that

Lune is for lightning dance.

yeah this game IS turned based and it requires you to time some button presses, like Legend of Dragon, like Mario RPG, like Shadow Hearts, like Thousand Arms, like Valkyrie Profile, like Magna Carta, like Utawarerumono, like Lost Odyssey, like Rogue Galaxy, like Legrand Legacy
PLAY MORE VIDYA YOU FAGGOT BROCCOLI HAIRED ZOOMER SHIT STAIN LOL LMAO

if bg3 can win this can win it too
turns out gameplays is irrelevant

Wait, can you see the French girl’s feet too? I thought it was just Lune?

Wait, this is just persona with qtes?

turn the game off of normal you shitter retard

You forgot FF8

This looks like shit

Real game starts at NG+

I forgot a lot; my point was made though and the broccoli is going to shit himself in rage because there is zero rebuttal for him not knowing video games

This looks great

wow, I love games where I can't tell what the fuck is going on and have zero control over my AI controlled party members!

cool but this is a Expedition 33 thread

Threads in the first week of release are always 95% paid jeets doing what they're paid for. You'll only get real discussion once the marketing budget runs out.

Yeah because mashing that X button during GF attacks is the same as an entire game built on parry/dodge slop mechanic.

Eat shit retard, game fucking sucks.

What do I play now bros?

Healer

Doesn't exist in this game unless you're not playing on Expert in which case you're a pussy.

Don't care. Still playing. Dilate.

I played the entire game on expert, nigger.

I don't get what this is trying to convey? P5 and Metaphor are the same with lesser interaction. It's almost like it's a turn based game.

We had a fine thread just a few hours ago, some shitposting retard finally managed to get some attention I guess.

he ignored everything, focuses on one, AND THEN got the timing mechanic from that one wrong and named a different mechanic

LOL fucking ZOOMERS holy shit

Hope you did it as permadeath like I didincluding all optional content

no you didn't

cheese

Didn't beat it

Good, you are ther eason why every single game is made for retards and the only mechanic that you can use to create some semblance of challenge is the parry slop button. Hope you enjoy your slop retard

ok

Don't care. Still playing. Dilate.

it's a grinding in Yellow Harvest for lv25-30 in Act 1 episode

game even rewards you with music for it

youtube.com/watch?v=UrM2c7b4Zdk&list=OLAK5uy_lJbuSXw4Bfo2tDlP6s_CNznTfYGe0GEBM&index=81

now the narrative has changed

It didn't though? Are you retarded?

french rpg

hahaha wtf is that? A game where you keep surrendering?

some people like this kind of gameplay some don't.Imagine having the mindset of a 4yo who can't think outside his tiny head and consider other beings liking different things.
and i'm someone who dropped the game at the tutorial.

he can't parry

Lmao

Looks fucking good.
Who was the fucking RETARD who said turn-BASED combat was """outdated"""?

You guys grind too much. I'm level 50 in act 3 and it's balanced enough for me.

Are you seriously implying you can't one shot bosses on expert? You must be really bad at video games then. I didn't even use Sciel or the low life lumina for this.

le surrender monkey! freedom fires!!

>>/reddit/

eat the slop

Lune is shitty in all of them

Nigga what? She's the best damage dealer pre-damage cap. Just turn 1 Mayhem cheese.

not hitting 10 digits already

Are you even playing correctly anon?

I was 75 by the time I started Act 3
Doing Frozen Hearts grinding and getting a lot of Act 3 stuff in Act 2 fun as hell

the man is the mc

:)

Anon Babble joining Retardera is having a mental breakdown over an AA RPG doing well

I love it, I'm drinking in all of the butthurt while playing it. The seethe fuels me

that's not act 2 like you said because there's no damage cap
QED lying fuckwit

There's no point. All the content is done and nobody likes ng+.

They all have swimsuits where they are barefoot

holy shit I thought it was a meme, they really added an Asian woman and didnt give her shoes.....
whiteboy kryptonite, literally game of the decade its that easy

Saar your reading comprehension is lacking. I said POST act 2. Do you know what post means? We're not talking about lamp posts here.

How to break verso and monoco to do millions of damage? Maelle is obvious but boring.

how come action fags never play kof if they love real time hardcore combat so much?

It's always so cute to see action fags playing casual mashers like hack and slash movie games and then act like hardcore shit.

oh shit oh shit I lost better call him a jeet even though I'm a mystery meat 56 IQ muttoid

LOL

What the fuck should I play one?
Figured I might play kingdom hearts 2 and 3 since I never played those, but japanese writing might cause me a huge ass whipslash after playing expedition 33

Whats with all the contrarian posts on here the last few years? It happened with BG3 and Metaphor. People are like "Uhhhh heres a video of the first enemy in the game. Doesnt look so action packed now does it???"

only AA'ing

modding away the redhead

As always, OP is a gay faggot.

He is too powerful...

Anon Babble couldn't even beat an easy Fromsoft game that was made to appeal to everyone. They literally cried and seethed over the first real boss of the game for being 'unfair' when e-girls were beating him with DDR pads
Anon Babble is SHIT at vidya. They're all LARPing.

Here's your (you). You ain't getting any more than that.

KH is played for gameplay and music, not story.

Protag, Maelle and the last slot is flexible. Sciel is a good buffer/healer. Dunno what Lune's niche is since I dont see people using her as much.

TORtanic lice having their weekly meltdown. It's very funny the vidya board is actually the dedicated 'brown people hate video games' board.

I lost and I'm running away

I know. You know too. Better luck next time, brownoid.

switch them out depending on the situation

Not really. The fact that Colors of Lumina ate finite and only applied to a single character you really want to choose your three main chars and make those good.

Doesn't matter that Maelle takes the spotlight, it's foreshadowed with him saying "for those that come after" in his ultimate attack.

slop slop slop slop slop slop slop

learn a new word jesus fucking christ

For Verso I just used the sword that burns on crit and then spammed the 5 hit aoe. You'll be doing millions of burn damage every turn and it just keeps ramping.

Medalum

Dueliso

anything Sciel

Monoco & Sciel turn loops

Stendal

You ABSOLUTELY did not beat the game.

Filter all jaks. Filter anyone who just attaches "slop" to everything.

99% of action fags can't even do the most basic combos with super of kyo kusanagi in kof 2002.

they pretend that mashing square square square is the most hardcore shit ever.

Bladur's Gate 3

Clair Obscure

Disco Elysium

VS

Dragon Age 4

No amount of contrarianism on Anon Babble can remove the sales and soon to be awards. The studio has made bank and will probably become a household name from now on. Until they get bought and ruined sadly.

So when people say this is like Dark Souls, are they lying or just dumb?

Its not about the difficulty and heavy choreography, its more about bonfires (expedition flags), estus flasks, posture damage, parry and evasion, and the overall dark fantasy nature of the game

This is a sharty thread, they just respond to each other and rope other people in thinking its a genuine conversation.

It is the best in act 3. You open with Sciel's double damage buff into Maelle's nuke, and the fight is over.

because it's not Japanese or anime they can't as opening hate on it like they want to so all they can do is seethe and go along with the mainsteam opinion for now, which is that it's good (imagine being a games journalist who has to pretend to like a game with no black female party members in 2025, it must make them so mad)

looks like persona, but lamer

non argument

Fuck off muttoid

Yep, they literally became an RPG powerhouse overnight. If they are not retarded and let DEI take the wheel, we are looking at second coming of late 90s early 00s Bioware.

Game literally had me yelling 'PEAK!' at the screen. I'd say it has GOTY locked in.

Stay mad though.

they literally became an RPG powerhouse overnight.

Until they make another success, they might just be one trick ponies, hell, they could just dissolve with the money they got from expedition 33 for all we know.

The second game will be the real test, to confirm if it was a fluke, or they are genuinely good.

Does the hair rendering look like this in the actual game or just this cutscene?

The problem with burn is that I don't quite understand how it does damage. I have a setup that can stack up to 300 burn, and sometimes it does 2 mil, but sometimes it does 20k. And it's not like I stack it on fire immune enemies..

looks like persona, but cooler

its basically persona but better in every aspect and you aren't chained to anime highschool dogshit

I'd say it has GOTY locked in.

Would be cool, it deserves it.

how is the blue mage guy? I think I'm going to use him regardless of how good he is

If I can't date anime girls it's nothing like Persona

There is apparently another one

there is a mod to improve it

Sandfall replacing Squeenix in terms of realistic JRPGs just how Larian replaced Bioware. Sovl.

The Lamp skill does Maelle tier damage after a few uses and doesn't appear to have a cap.
Use 1 Gradient to get into Almighty Mask then pop it every time Monoco's turn rolls around.

He is quite good.
Not maelle broken good, but very good.
There is no bad character in the roster desu

I don't think rebirthkeks are ever going to accept that people like E33

LMAO

I don't really know how it works either but I just removed everything that could burn from my other characters. It seems like the burn damage is calculated based on the last character that applies a stack so you only want Verso applying the burn.

Yeah, only other way to have Monoco steal his feet

Has anyone even done the Challenge thing where you have to solo a boss with every character?
There's no achievement for it so I think almost everyone just forgets it even exists.

Anyone else surprised they dont let you play as Gustav after beating the ending?

Do you unlock his locked skills on the tree if you do NG+ or are they really just red herrings and don't exist?

can anyone explain why I liked this game but when I tried the Metaphor demo I hated it and found all the anime ness cringe and off putting?

red herrings.
I wondered the same, why did he have so many skills if he wasn't gonna show up again.
They got us good

Looks like shit

man, how did they copy P5's menus so hard and yet make them look like complete shit at the same time? like all that excessive camera movement is just nauseating.

Step away from the mirror, lad

Finish Act II

mfw

Ok fine, I guess this is my goty now.

Yeah I've done it. What about it?

For how amazing the environments and general style is they really dropped the ball on the UI design hard.
The menu is fucking garbage and the combat UI okay at best, it feels really phoned in compared to the environments and how much attention they paid to cutscene cinematography and all that.

The doors, the mime, or something else?

Looks like the most generic soulless UE asset slop ever

The Chosen Path?
It's not really a challenge, it's tuned for early Act 3 and pretty easy, it's not like this is some extra superboss or anything, just a normal area with a gimmick.
The reward for finishing it is just a Picto that gives you 1 Shield on turn start if you don't have one yet.

choose a meme fight

play the game slowly

it looks boring

Woah!

I dunno how I beat him, I was so focused on parrying his long as fuck chain that he just suddenly self destructed. I must have filled his break bar or he's on a turn limit.

I don't know what the fuck to play now lads...

Baldelle, Baldoco, Balderso.

Discuss.

It'll be even moreso when you finish act 3.

get monoco

use monoco, verso and mage girl for the rest of the game

I have zero interest in maelle.

Welcome to the boring part of the game. You either go finish the main story that takes like 1 hour max or spend tens of hours doing boring unbalanced side content for no reward. Have fun.

He has a turn limit, technically all you have to do is dodge

remember when the gaming community used to make fun of QTEs

Can you turn off the QTEs? It isn't very progressive or disability friendly to not have the option or whatever.

Just a quick heads up, the "final dungeon" is tuned to be done right now.
If you go do all the side stuff first you will blast through it.

This is a targeted shilling campaign. QTEs are still shit in spite of that

stop samefagging.
final fantasy is shit lol you will never be a woman.

You can auto-succeed the QTEs.
Not the dodges or parries though.

This is literally the main grievance in resetera right now lmao

I don't complain about them because you can turn them off with no drawbacks.

why can't they see that this game selling like hotcakes and in the gaming news everywhere is paying to SHILL to poor brown people on Anon Babble who can't afford video games, they need those 3 extra sales HOW CAN EVERYONE BUT ME BE SO BLIND

lol fucking retard

Doesn't it give you normal successes not perfects? In which case it's suboptimal

So many threads about sales, Steam charts, what the women look like, and this is the first time I see any gameplay
lol
lmao in fact

Damn these troons are so sensitive defending their copy pasted asset QTE UE slop

It gives perfects. You can try it out with buffs that only apply to everyone when you perfect them.

Then you are retarded because people posted videos all the time in these threads

it must drive you insane knowing final troonasy has been completley mogged by Europeans huh you disgusting weeb nigger

You get a hebe daughter/sister/wife who loves you instead.

Damn these troons are so assmad they are getting BTFO in their TORtanic threads despite calling in trooncord backup
Going to see ropes go up today for sure

The game is damaging to the industry because it makes it seem like a $50 pricepoint is okay.

Wait for tomorrow when it will hit a new playerpeak

oh true, coming right as MS jews it up is a big black eye to a lot of these companies. It explains a lot, actually.

baldoco

cursed

Kek

Sharty bros we won

Who cares, oldfags hated QTEs I can't believe people are defending it.
Eh. That's fine then. Can't dodge in final fantasy games either

Now that I think about it, this is the second Western JRPG

AA indie game, please understand.

oldfags hated QTEs

timed button presses in an RPG aren't really what people are referring to, retard. Oldfags loved Legend of Dragoon and cum tribute to it to this day
fucktarded zoomer

Aline didn't feel inspired that day.

In JRPGs? Nobody hated QTE's in JRPGs, we've had stuff like FFVIII's limit input for ages.
QTE's got a bad rep when they started getting overused in action games around in the early 2010's.

So, beating Maelle's ass and kicking her out of the painting to free everyone is the true ending right? Other one is straight up cursed.

So, I haven't finished Act 3 yet. If it's explained, please don't spoil it, but are the Writers just a wink at the audience referencing the devs, or are they expanded upon?

no

Who was the fucking RETARD who said turn-BASED combat was """outdated"""?

If you have to throw in real-time action elements to get people to play your turn-based game, it seems like a concession that neither the devs nor their desired audience actually likes playing in turns.

Yes, but retards will emotionally screech about genocide whilst missing all the implications and consequences.

Neither. It's franchise/sequelbait.

this but completely and utterly unironically

You give yourself away so easily.

I don't play Turd-Cringe Roleplaying """games""".

Nothing is explained. Enjoy your shallow story about a family coping in VR worlds.

JRPG is not a genre, but ignoring that the first would actually be Septerra Core
store.steampowered.com/app/253940/Septerra_Core/

This was one of Marty O'Donnel and Micheal Salvatori's earliest vidya works
youtube.com/watch?v=-31VNPg9gds

Yes, but some fags who cant let go of the magical perfect world will try to use muh genocide as a defense
its FF tactics all over again

Why did they make a god-tier post-final boss theme of 8 minutes for a fight that lasts one turn even if you don't cheese and go straight from the Monolith to Lumière?
youtu.be/VxfRe9wkj5Y?list=OLAK5uy_lJbuSXw4Bfo2tDlP6s_CNznTfYGe0GEBM&t=136

Insane how this blew up when it's just westoids aping Persona 5's UI/Gameplay

Dunno what Lune's niche is

maxing crit so you get all stains with elemental trick and obliterating everyone with elemental genesis
best way is to get source of burn and have someone put a bun on the enemy before her turn while using crit chance on burning enemies pictos on her

Sciel's a gyppo.

This theme aint for us
Its for the people who do 0 side content and actually see renoir move set

Pajeet Persona

It has literally nothing in common with Persona 5 other than being menu turn based, it plays more like a Mario RPG.

tbfh I appreciated a lot that the main story content was piss easy, once I done all the side content I just wanted to rush the story and see it done

Ultimate Sakapatate (Megabot#33)

Why do joke boss fights in JRPGs always have such slappin' sound tracks?

Lune doesn't deal anywhere near enough damage in the late game once the damage cap is removed for this to be viable. Maelle is pretty much the only option and every other character should just be buffing her.

How do we rate french taste in underwear?
holy shit i cant remember the last time i played a game where you could see the panites

I was hitting 2.5mill damage with genesis on the late game
sure it is not billion damage that maelle is able to dish but its aoe damage that clears shit fast, and its honest

i finally got gaypass and tried out this game and while the story seems okay man I'm not feeling it
does it stop being a ff13 simulator soon? so far after the intro its been corridor, cutscene, corridor, cutscene over and over

I want to do the side content in act 3 but also don't want to steamroll the main quest. What do?

The only panties you see are at the very beginning of the game so it's just an obvious bait for the 4channel audience.

holy shit i cant remember the last time i played a game where you could see the panties

You don’t play a lot of non-western games then

and its honest

An image just flashed in my head involving Lune in overalls and sunhat standing in a field of dead nevrons.

dueliso isn't good

Do the main quest first then? Are you retarded?

Bros I don't think I'm gonna make it...

Seems like a skill issue with you not exploring the side tracks and world map.

It's the best weapon for him in Act 2 until you get Cheater if you do it early

It doesn't end the game and force you into NG+?

It gets slightly better, but not much. The maps open up a bit the further you go but the game is still a cutscene simulator to the very end.

Bro your stendhal????
Your lampmaster???

Same

Unless you play bottom tier slop like trails or something similar, youre not saying a lot of panties from japs my dude.

screech about genocide

I mean any world where you can just bring the dead back all nilly willy just to feel fake happiness should not be considered real or worth saving. I thought that point was obvious.

No. You have to manually choose to enter NG+ at an expedition flag.

why do people waste time coming here to post misleading material to make a game look bad or vice-versa, don't you know that most of the people here don't have critical thinking skills and can be easily fooled?

I mean, funnily enough, they might have an in-universe explaination lol. Like

enemy isn't even animated

come to sharty brother

Simon had a hard life...

Cool, time to expedition.

If you didnt do an expedition 60 run(no pictos/luminas) then you didn't beat the game.

Turn 1 Stendahl

Nothing personnel, Simon

random lady at the start of the game sitting alone on bench surrounded by flowers and humming

Shes the main villian isnt she?

The speed of the combat is fast you retard

jarpiggers genuinely believe this, how embarassing.
it's not turn based that's garbage, it's the 4 niggas in a row genre that's complete ass. the reason a game like chess holds up well is because positioning is important, tactics games understand this very well. jrpg 4 niggas in a row is ass because after decades of putting these games out the most innovative thing they do is timing based minigames and needing to remember weaknesses.

It's not Persona 4, no.

Someone being slowm dumbm and indecisive looks like shit in action games too. Not the game's fault. Not the genre's fault.

constant obnoxious camera snapping

had to speed up the video to make the game not seem slow

I will not play anymore french slop, I learned my lesson playing Spiders games

RPGs died for this

The past two years has been full of RPG games...

Turn based games are the gayest fucking thing I've ever seen
Even gayer than Shittendo and that's saying something

Woke engine.

JRPG is not a genre,

Just as WCRPG isn't a genre but we treat is as one and everyone understand what kind of games we are talking about

jrpg 4 niggas in a row is ass because after decades of putting these games out the most innovative thing they do is timing based minigames and needing to remember weaknesses.

The problem is that when someone tries something new people will complain that it's too hard or trial and error.

funny how every now and then someone will reinvent unlimited blade works

Simon and Clea are lovers

Painter-Clea learns about Clea, paints over her, and locks her away to become a Nevron factory

Painter-Clea figures she can manipulate Simon using Clea, gives him shitloads of power, tells him to kill Axon-Clea and defeat Paintress (Painter-Aline)

Simon kills Axon-Clea and journey to the Monolith where he ends up talking to Painter-Aline

Painter-Aline manipulates him further by pretending he could free Clea if he defeated Painter-Renoir who she held trapped under the Monolith

Simon makes his way to Painter-Renoir who starts mindraping him so he can use him for his own bidding to defeat Painter-Aline again

Simon had a hard life. He got fucked around with by the entire family.

it doesn't feel right to do it

Clea.....forgive me

It's a wooden puppet.

WCRPG

It's just CRPG, the C standing for Computer because they're computerised versions of tabletop roleplaying rulesets or inspired by said rulesets. WRPG isn't a genre either btw

You know what? Maybe the writers had a point

What's so good about Lampmaster?

Blame the devs for adding in a picto that gives 50% more damage on the first hit and then removing the damage cap entirely. It's like they wanted this to happen.

I'm watching streamers play this game to see all the attacks I missed from the bosses because I was too strong.

Septerra Core was pretty good. And there's also Anachronox, this one was great.

You faggots love Paper Mario.

There's also a second one too that boosts first hit done and taken.

I tried anachronax on gog but it keeps bugging out for me right after the tutorial.

I hate this faggot menu style. Just give me Chrono for fuck's sake.

Ya but the memes

Septerra Core, my forgotten beloved.

It's like they wanted this to happen.

i'm sure they wanted us to get creative with picto but doubt the idea was for players to one shot their major superboss

As kids yeah. Anyone praising paper mario now is a mentally stunted idiot.

western atb game

How the hell have I never heard of this until now

Turn based gameplay continues to filter retards decades later

Based

I remember finishing it once but the dungeons were way too long and billion fights in them way too tedious. But the game had charm.

i like turn based games like fire emblem, ff tactics. i loved trails in the sky. but for some reason the persona style "3 units in a line, attack, defend, skill, item" turn based are so fucking boring to me. not sure why, i guess i like being able to move my units around

this is just mario with french music

In short you like trpgs and dont like jrpgs...

expedition 33 is so good it single handedly reversed 20 years of ubislop tarnishing french games.

persona style

are these seriously the ONLY turn-based jarpigs you guys know?

is that the difference in terms of genre names? trails in the sky is still a JRPG though right?
idk persona is the first one i tried that has that style and i hated it. then i tried this clair game and made it 10 minutes in to the first battle tutorial, realized it was the same style as persona, uninstalled. luckily i had a free month of gamepass so only thing i wasted was my time

I though you were talking about E33 for a second because everything you said still applies.

You obviously didn't play Septerra then. E33 doesn't even have a fraction of tedium from Septerra.

Trails used tactics style combat but it's not a full on tactical rpg like Fire Emblem or Disgaea. It's more like a turn based CRPG but with stage transitions instead of combat taking place on the open map.

tilt shift filter

camera flys all over the place on every menu action

Why is this the trend now? I couldn't play the latest Atelier game because of bullshit. What purpose does it solve other than giving the player nauseating motion sickness?

guess that makes sense. well going forward i'll look for more tactical rpgs and ignore jrpgs then thanks

I'm kinda surprised the game doesnt have a secret new game plus early ending thing.

why do you sound like a zoomer retard? you sound like you need to lurk a lot moar you fucking faggot

i can guarantee you without a doubt i've been on Anon Babble longer than you, now fuck off retard

You can try Lost Eidolons, a korean game made in the style of Fire Emblem or Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children, another korean game but essentially weaboo XCOM

You can actually disable camera movement but it makes things even worse because now half the attacks will be coming from offscreen.

i prefer the one you enter virtuose on counter attacks

It's like if you decided to make Mario RPG combat as obnoxious and obtrusive as possible

is that the difference in terms of genre names? trails in the sky is still a JRPG though right?

The T in trpg stands for tactical, so games like FFT, Fire Emblem, Tactics Ogre, Triangle Strategy, Disgaea, Jeane 'd arc among many other games follow that same grid based per turn strategy rpg criteria (shoutout to games like X-com and Jagged Alliance)
Yes, Trails is a JRPG, although it fits more in a weird hybrid with ARPG/CRPG because you have movement in combat, so it's more similar to the Tales of series than classical turn based JRPG (FF, Dragon Quest, Shin Megami Tensei, etc)

Lost Eidolons

pretty shitty reviews but looks kinda fun, i'll pick it up on sale maybe
i actually already own troubleshooter just havent played it yet. might be next on my list after i wrap up dark deity 2

that requires an enemy to get a turn so it's really bad

Way too slow. Now you'd need to actually parry Simon's attacks instead of just one shotting him before he's able to do anything.

Peronally I didn't bother with autism required to one shot him, so I used Sciel to give me double damage and another turn and I two shotted him.

i mean i knew the T was for tactical, but the tags on steam at least tend to overlap a lot with "tactical rpg" and "turn based strategy"
i get what you mean though in terms of the difference. thanks for explaining

what do I spend my goodboy points on, I'm just starting out
I heard might is dogshit

If it works it works, though I found it pretty easy to overkill him 6 times over

Vitality

you can't let simon attack a single time

didn't beat him, sonny

When I let him he just erased entire team so I went fuck you I can do tricks too.

it's fine if he attacks exactly once and you have second chance

Isn't it like, weapon dependent or something like that? Or is every character going to have those dark souls scaling letters on the same stat?

I would have done it normally if he didn't have that stupid attack that deletes your entire party. I haven't played Sciel or Monoco even once and I'm not going to set them up for a single boss.

The scaling is weapon dependent but you get tons of things that let you respec.

Scaling doesn't matter until endgame when you have A scaling at least. Early game it makes no difference.

Agility should be capped on all characters. After that just get what you need for your weapon.

*gommages you*

What now, huh? You bitch

honestly put everything into agility as then you get more turns than the enemy

Vitality is a noobtrap. Even agility gives more EHP because it gives a lot of defense as well.

Agility for more turns and Luck since Crits until you can hit 100% crit rate with your Pictos and Lumina.
After that just do whatever gives your weapon the most attack. Might or its highest scaling stat.

That's a shame. I played it long time ago, probably on Windows XP, so I have no idea if it even can still be played.

Can't speak about Normal but defensive stats don't really matter if you are playing on Expert.
Agility and Luck should be your go to there, Might is good too since it will boost your damage no matter what weapon you use while you are still swapping all the time.

it's not fromslop's latest rolling simulator it suuuuuucks!!!!!

normie brainrot

wow your mad

I wish there was a way to convert damage other than phys into void.
A build is working fine and then "whoops, there is an enemy that absorbs your damage, I guess you are fucked :) Should have ran maelle with barrier breaker lol! :)"

french game has french mime enemy

pretty funny actually

His mad what? Learn proper english.

Are you implying that Mario's combat isn't obnoxious as fuck you absolute fucking faggot? Enjoy mashing two buttons for 15 seconds every fucking time you decide to use fire flowers
Literally it's only ok when nintendo does it

Anon Babble lost

No, Anon Babble tourist who just come here to shitpost about twitter lost, they are extremely butthurt to see their twitter screenshot threads get pushed out by an extra video game thread.
