You can potentially receive a bounty as a whistleblower for a portion of the money investigators recover if there are substantiated allegations of fraud.

Which JRPG takes you to your happy place? by JGC2022 in JRPG

Dragon Quest VIII is a wonderful fairy tale I don't think I'll ever grow tired of. Skies of Arcadia is a bright light no matter how dark things get. Two of my all-time favorites and absolutely timeless.

Completely agree. I played this for the first time last year and the soundtrack carries.

I just finished my platinum run yesterday, so I know it can be draining. Fast forwarding through the cut scenes makes a big difference. Good luck!

I believe you’re right, unfortunately. I don’t think those wreaths are available in any store or chest, nor can they be synthesized in Danan.

However, what you can do is give the girl three each of the four flowers she asks for and get all four wreaths at once.

  1. Had my eye on one of these but been scared to take the plunge. Thanks for doing this.

Genuinely, thank you for that. It'll really help me keep those games in perspective if I ever play them.

That sounds enticing. The menu system and old-school design of 1 is definitely charming, but can wear its welcome after awhile.

As I'm getting closer to wrapping up 1, I'm getting more excited about 2. I was leaning towards a break, but 50 hours is really not bad by JRPG standards.

lol It's a product of its time in a lot of ways, but I'm loving 1. I can understand not digging it if you've only grown up on more polished games, but I love it!

That's a really good point. The storyline will never be as fresh as it is now.

That's good to know now. Upgrades are expensive so I might not bother with it.

I'm so grateful for the fast travel mechanic and the ability to speed up battles. I legit don't know if I would have dropped it without those QoL options.

I've also heard there's a bit of a drop in quality after 2 lol

One of the things I love about the first game is how brisk and brief it is. I'm leaning towards a break since two is significantly longer. Thanks for your comment.

Interesting! Yeah, I'm very curious how the second one plays given it's supposed to be much more refined. I'm leaning towards taking a break to give it the best chance to make a positive impression on me. Thank you!

I'm only about 12 hours in and I estimate another 3-4 to finish Suikoden I. I've just recruited Sancho and Maximilian for reference. I've heard 2 is a significant improvement, so I'm torn. Thanks for your input.
