>>943592 New to what? RPGs? Vidya gaems? The internet hate machine?

>>943609 Well, video games i think, i never play pc games before until I got a laptop recently, so i want to play some games on it

>>943592 >(；^ω^） Show me your penis you silly slut You're asking for just JRPGs or both JRPGs and WRPGs? Because that's a really huge and diverse band of a games. For WRPGs there's obviously Elder Scrolls. People argue over which are the best but generally it's agreed 3 > 4 > 5. The first two are classic dungeon crawlers and therefor usually get left out of the conversation, but the second a blast if you're into that kind of old school gameplay. Often paired with TES is Fallout, which is kind of a mixed bag in terms of quality but the good entries are excellent. Fallout 2 and New Vegas are my personal favorites from the series, but even 4 is fun albeit dumb and mindless. The early Fallout games are CRPGs, which are more classic and complex styles of WRPG, Black Isle Studios developed what are considered to be among of the best CRPGs ever and a lot of modern CRPGs follow heavily in their footsteps. ATOM RPG, Underrail and a hundred other games all pull from Fallout, Disco Elysium and its copycats pull from Planescape: Torment, and a whole host of WRPGs games pull from Icewind Dale and Baldur's Gate. An absolute classic in eurojank WRPGs is Gothic, its often compared with TES3 which is unfair in my opinion as the two are very different. If you want to see an open world game completely defy the modern Far Cry 3/AssCreed standard of open world games, try Gothic. If you want to go foundational, there's Wizardry and Ultima. Two of the first vidya RPGs and some of the first video games in general, the early entries in both series are very primitive but absolutely vital to the genre. For JRPGs the big two are obviously Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy, both heavily inspired by Wizardry. In fact Wizardry is largely the basis for the classic turn-based JRPG format, if you're ever curious about the genre's origins you should really give it a try. Going beyond those two, some really influential series are Mother/Earthbound, Chrono, Xeno, and Megami Tensei. The PlayStation and SNES are in my opinion the gold standard for JRPGs, a lot of the greats were on those two systems. You can pick out some random unknown JRPG from their libraries like 7th Saga and probably enjoy it. Both libraries are also full of really weird and interesting JRPGs like Moon: Remix RPG Adventure that though forgotten, have been major influences on later games. Not all JRPGs are that turn-based style, there are ARPGs like Kingdom Hearts which focus on active combat while still retaining many of those JRPG elements. The name is confusing because among WRPGs, the term ARPG means something entirely different, referring to games like Diablo. Some good ARPGs are Ys, Seiken Densetsu/Mana, and Illusion of Gaia. I'm being very broad here because this is a broad question. Are there any themes or genres you like?

>>943634 I played a lot of KEMCO studio games, Guardian Tales, Honkai impact, SAO: Integral Factor, Toram Online etc on android so, i would love to play some games similar to games i played on my phone

>>943667 Man you have shit taste

>>943667 Also, i have claimed Assassin's creed syndicate for free a couple months ago but I've never really download it, is it good?

>>943677 no

>>943675 Bruhh don't be so hard on me, i only play something that my phone can handle ಥ‿ಥ. Any recommendations though? Apriciate it!

>>943634 I have played Baldur's Gate Enhanced edition before but never really finish it cuz i don't really understand how the game works and the mechanism, but thanks for your recommendation Anons! I would consider to play it in the future

>bruh Lurk 2 years before posting

>>943634 Not the OP, but can you give any games with nice, autistic magic systems? Something where I can tinker with spells, and preferably magic doesn't just default to damage, buff/debuff stats, etc.

Unicorn Overlord just came out on consoles today. It's easiest to get and play it for free if you have a decent PC that can decently run a switch emulator or a jailbroken switch with this link right here. https://send.cm/d/xv1a >>943634 Anon you talk too much.

>>943605 >sword craft story 3 translated never ever

>>943824 I made a mistake, that is nothing but the day one patch I'm here to fix it with the actual game. BASE GAME - https://1fichier.com/?xtjuh4zonb96u52ovrts UPDATE - https://send.cm/d/xv1a

What are some games where the main character is primarily a mage?

>>943615 >until I got a laptop recently What are the specs? >>943667 >i would love to play some games similar to games i played on my phone Kemco's games are typical JRPGs (what what I've played), so you're going to have to be more specific since we can go as far back as games from 40 years ago. >Guardian Tales Top-down dungeon crawlers, the Ys series, the Zelda series, the Mana series, Beyond Oasis, Survival Kids, Scurge: Hive. You'll find a lot of stuff on the GB(A/C). >Honkai impact Character action games is the genre you're looking for. DMC and Ninja Gaiden are the two "main" series that occupy this genre. You also have Bayonetta, God of War, No More Heroes, Darksiders, Rygar, Shinobi, The Wonderful 101, Astral Chain, Gungrave, Van Helsing, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Ghost Rider. With honorable mentions to Viewtiful Joe (2D gameplay), Red Steel 2 (First-person gameplay), and Prototype/Hulk (Sandbox). >SAO: Integral Factor, Toram Online See this: https://archive.ph/Vahz3

What persona game would you recommend to a newcomer?

>>943929 2

Don't forget OP

>>943929 The PSP remake of 1 then play in Chronological order from there

>>943929 4 Golden if you prefer more modern games, and 1 if you're a dungeon crawler/autist who likes older games (followed by 2).

>>943592 The Caligula Effect The Caligula Effect 2 MONARK

>>943592 Chrono Trigger is an ideal introduction JRPGs and it's also one of the best in the genre. The only downside is that it's not a very deep game in terms of mechanics or character customization. Think of it sort of like a greatest hits album for the genre.

>>943772 Honestly can't go wrong with most of the JRPGs like what anon posted on the PS1. Some of them even have undub patches (Or un-working designs if you don't want to grind or put up with their artificially higher difficulty) to enhance the experience. Your phone should be able to emulate PS1 games just fine.

>>943772 I see people suggesting to play the game on normal first due to the strict requirements for the true ending but just play the game on hard and make a save before the first Einherjar offering then load that if you want to try for the true ending.

>>943929 When you get around to playing 3, emulate the PS2 version of FES, and try not to overlevel. The characters make it sound like you're in dire need of training to keep up with the mandatory boss fights on specific calendar dates, but those are actually puzzle fights that give you leniency to figure out the gimmick, and they're more fun if you don't oneshot them. The timed Elizabeth requests in each block of the dungeon act as a general guide for how much leveling the game recommends, but there's no major consequences to skipping them.

>>943592 Might as well go for Chrono Trigger since you are a phone fag

>>943912 I have a Asus TUF F15, i didn't really know how to see the specs

>>943929 Does persona games story related to each other? Like, i have to play persona 1 in order to play persona 3 because i will not understand the storyline if i skip the first and second game

Boy, I'm sure glad the culture war retards invited cuckchan here, nobody can tell the difference.

>>944255 Just Persona 1, 2 Innocent Sin and 2 Eternal Punishment, after those the stories are separate.

>>944264 >rapefugees welcum Fixed.

>>944287 I would rape her if given the chance

>>944287 saved

>Only one mention of Xenogears in the thread >it's only typed as Xeno Xenogears is a masterpiece and you can't convince me otherwise. Saga is okay but Blade bored me to tears for some reason.

>>944306 It's an extremely unfinished masterpiece.

Since everyone else has thrown out there recommendations for RPGs, might as well do the same. First of all, this is coming from a place where I hated RPGs for the longest time because "number goes up" seemed like the shittiest type of gameplay that ever invented. The following games made me change my view of that: >Parasite Eve You know how everyone was blowing their load over Undertale having "shmup gameplay" in it's RPG battles? This game did it first. It's an ARPG where battle take place in the same world you're exploring. Combat is carried out primarily with the use of guns, but Aya also has her PE powers that are effectively magic. >Grandia This series tends to lean in more on being a "traditioinal RPG". Where the big difference is starts with the battle system. As opposed to "taking turns", you see both characters and enemies "powering up" for their turn in "real-time". The trick that comes in is that you stategically use your attacks in such a manner that you can delay enemy characters from attacking for as long as you can.

Okay I went and tried out Unicorn Overload and I played it for 10 hours straight last night. The game is peak fucking vanillaware, though the localizers though seems to have taken a bit too much creative liberties with translating and now some parts of the dialogue is now lost in translation deviating from it's original intention somewhat. The dialouge is fluffed up and written so it's less blunt and direct but it still needs to stay true to it's source material, that's the issue here. Besides that issue the game is like Ogre Battle brought back from the dead and holy shit it's actually fun. It plays like a 2d open world (still region gated) that you can walk around as soon as you get off tutorial island and you take part in battles to reclaim certain parts of the overworld, or you can just run past all the enemy guards and uncover the main region first.

Didn't know builders 1 was released last month on pc. I never finished it because i sold my ps4 to build a pc. Now i can finally replay it and play 2 as well.

>>951983 DB1 port is based on mobile version but they went out of their way to remove the "female" option for "body type" garbage. Don't bother it. DB2 is OK, but a couple sequences near the end just really sours me on it.

>>951984 >DB1 port is based on mobile version It sounds pretty retarded. Does it have any noticeable differences? >remove the "female" option for "body type" So fucking stupid. Is it the same for the japanese version or its just an (((official translation))) issue?

>>951985 DQ mobile ports are unironically good, in general >>951984 Shame, any mod that restores it?

>>952008 >any mod that restores it? Not sure, but I'm 100% sure it won't be up at Nexus.

>>952008 >bothering with port that was intentionally made shit

I've been having a lot of fun with Zwei: The Ilvard Insurrection lately. Couldn't really get into Arges Adventure, but Zwei 2 really polished up the experience and tightened the combat - then dumped a shit-ton of charm into what was already a pretty fucking comfy setting. Combat in action-based and you control two characters at once. Ragna handles the melee combat with a kind of whip-sword called an Anchor Gear, while Alwen handles the magic - sort like how Pokkle and Pipiro worked in the first game. This time Alwen has a much bigger roster of spells, as well as special AOE attacks which charge up during combat. Ragna has multiple different Anchor gears which you can unlock by finding treasures in the dungeons - and these provide different functionality, such as flame gears for clearing out ice and vegetative obstacles, or a grappling hook for moving large objects that are needed to solve puzzles or access new areas. Pets got an upgrade too. In the first game, Pets just kind of went off on a mini-adventure of their own displayed in the corner of the screen and occasionally required your attention. It would have fit in well on a Dreamcast VMU. In Ilvard Insurrection you can now have multiple pets which follow you and help you on your adventure, doing chip damage, collecting coins and food, etc. The story is pretty basic so far. The land is broken up into a series of floating islands, so air travel is the primary method of going from place to place. The game starts with Ragna getting attacked and crash landing during a delivery. The crash would have been fatal, but he was saved by a cutie vampire girl who gave him some of her blood in exchange for him helping her to retake her family castle from invaders. The only thing I really don't like about the game is that you level up by eating food, which is also used as a healing item. I get the idea in concept - the game stays just the right level of difficult until you start getting smacked around a lot, requiring you to eat, which raises your level and makes you more capable and less likely to get knocked around so much. It works fairly well, since food is pretty plentiful, but it removes a sense of progress as all you get from defeating enemies is more food and coins - which have limited usefulness at the moment.

>>951984 >DB2 is OK, but a couple sequences near the end just really sours me on it. Is it the part where you and Malroth get sent to Alcatraz and forced to do the same thing for 3 days before planning your escape? or the slow as molasses true Malroth monologues?. I'd say the pirate version with the debug menu made it better by just having access to every block and item, even unreleased ones.

The Swordcraft Story trilogy is excellent. You should play it.

>>952170 Looks like shit.

>>952177 Not as much as how you look IRL Phzos.

>>952170 I played 2 to completion and did the post-game, how does 3 hold up?

>>943592 disgaea

>>943929 5 the rest are shit

>>943682 Try old Square games from before the modern era. A lot got ported to phone and since they're actually good they stand out among the mobile gacha slop.

>>944004 Haven't played Monark yet, shill it to me, anon. >>944031 Made the mistake of playing this as an adult and as a veteran of the genre, but I think you're right. Good introduction to JRPGs but only if you're new to the genre. >>944833 I'm playing it too but because it's so fucking addictive to me, I've restricted myself to only play it on the weekends, otherwise I can't get any work done. >>943592 To answer your question OP, I'd play the first DQ game, GBA version. The game still holds up to this day, and you'll understand where many of the basics of the genre come from, DQ III is a good starting point too because you can create your own party members and perfects the JRPG formula. I'm going through Unicorn Overlord and the game is fucking great, instead of being an Ogre Battle clone it improved the formula introducing the gambit system from FF12 making the combat more interesting instead of rock-paper-scissors.

>>944306 Top ten anime crucifixions.

>>943929 1, 2 if you're based, 3,4,5 if you're a sweaty fat neckbeard with a thing for CIA agents.

>>952177 It looks Kino. >>952212 Good. Durability now actually matters outside of boss fights and special move spam again.

>>952735 i'll play 3,4 and 5

>>952742 Enjoy your glowie waifus anon. Too bad you'll never get to fight and lose against Adolf Hitler in order to unlock the true canon ending where he wins and starts the 4th Reich.

Are these games any good?

>>957217 Yes, fuck yes

>>957217 Never played, so I can't say, but if you do plan on playing them, make sure you use the retranslated version for Ar Tonelico II as it suffers from even worse NISA fuckery than usual, probably worse than Ys 8 at launch. The romhacking page for it gives a good idea for how bad it was: https://www.romhacking.net/translations/2833/

>>957217 The first game is a great example of traditional JRPGs done well and why people like them. The combat system is simple, but fun and has a unique spin. The plot, while nothing unique, still managed to hold my interest. The setting was one of the highlights of the game, but the writing really shines in its cast of characters. The MC is generic, but he's still likeable by virtue of having the balls to pick a girl and tell her how she feels BEFORE the game ends. Said possible love interests are all well written and likeable without being perfect. Ar Tonelico 2 took all that and flushed it down the toilet. They decided to shoehorn rhythm game bullshit into the combat while giving EVERY FUCKING BOSS a move that does party wiping damage and whites out the screen so that you have to guess when you're supposed to block it, and non-boss combat is just spamming the attack button, slaughtering the tactical feel of the original's combat. The setting is more or less reused from the first game, taking out the wonder of the original, and the love interests are a literal whore and a cunt who regularly refers to the MC as her dog. The worst part is that there's two really good girls, but you can't romance either. The game left such a bad impression on me that I never bothered with the third game.

>>943824 >Anon you talk too much. Exactly, this is how he should have written his post.

I miss sweet intros line this.

>>957250 >but you can't romance either There's a reason for that.

>>957313 what's the reason?

>>957316 The girls likes girls. They think boys are gross. IT'S NOT YURI THOUGH!

>>957320 God I miss him

>>957320 No wonder people have retarded opinions and views on anime in general. Thank god i never entertained the idea of watching this people.

I'm finishing Shining in the Darkness and I can't decide what to play next between: >.hack series >Final Fantasy 10 >Xenosaga 1 >Dragon Quest (don't know which yet) >Phantasy Star 4 >Persona 3 FES I played P3 when it came out, but couldn't beat the final boss cause being a good friend and student is more fun than going to a dungeon in that game. What should I play?

>>957544 I'd definitely go for .hack series. You might get burnt out if you go for the first 4 games in a row. I'd play the first 2 then i would play Dragon quest IV and then finish the series.

>>943929 My joke answer is If..., but that's not even a bad place to start. You won't understand all of Persona 1 if you don't play it. You may even need to play SMT1 for the full context of If... if you do start there. My real answer is Persona 1 on the PSP with the undub and music restoration patches. From there, play 2 IS/EP on the PSX. The PSP versions make graphical changes, but the gameplay is significantly hurt. If you play any version of 3, play FES. Portable cuts out too much graphically, and the FeMC's story is tacked on. Golden makes good story additions, but it also makes balancing changes from 4 and cuts out graphics in a bad way. 5 is just bad. You can play it if you like pretty 3D environments and want to be up-to-date on the series as it is now. Do not play Royal. >>944255 If..., Persona 1, and Persona 2 EP/IS are directly related to each other, and SMT1 is related to them. 3 is related by reference to previous titles. 4 and 5 are only related to 3 through Q1 and 2, and those are questionably canon.

>>943592 Originally I would have just said Xenoblade. But after Future Redeemed and the recent developer QnA, I'm grouping Xenosaga in with my suggestion. The lore is going to go dummy, going into Xenoblade 4, I can feel it. Now's a good time to get invest in the series.

>>957544 Xenosaga is great if you understand one thing first: It's a really good RPG that rewards you after every boss fight by showing you the next episode of a really good sci-fi anime. Not being sarcastic. Its not "long cutscenes" its an anime OAV that you get to watch between stretches of play.

>>957677 >>957684 There's a ton of rumblings about a Xenosaga remake/remaster (in the style of XB Definitive) coming out before Xenoblade 4 even.

>>965631 >what's with the faggot on cuckchan Answered your own question

>>957699 They'd be better off doing a remake of Xenogears, considering they couldn't be bothered to make the second half of the game the first time around.

>>965666 >They'd be better off doing a remake of Xenogears Fuck off Satan, XG would be butchered beyond belief if SE and their Ethics department got their hands on it. You can cry that the OG version was fucked with what with the -lambs- and -ethos- over the original script but just imagine how fucked a SE version will be in comparison. Just let dead IPs lie, no need to drag a corpse around for good consumer points. We don't need a them/they Emeralda in current year Xenogears.

>>957699 And bid farewell to Momo pantsu? I would sooner emulate. >>957684 Sounds like Super Robot Wars, but more refined.

>>944290 Would you beat her to death after?
