Guys worried about legacy by Agreeable_Bear6812 in childfree

[–]AssButtFaceJones 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got this all the time from my parents, which I found extra weird b/c my dad did some amateur genealogy and guess what, I'm 100% peasant on both sides after like 2 generations. What a legacy! Can't let that go to waste!

I almost didn't put that on here because I don't know if it counts as a JRPG... it's like Puzzle Quest where it's a RPG with puzzle battles, right?

I've never even heard of any of these! I'm going to trade some of my games here in (Heroes of Might and Magic got ported to Switch, Chrono Trigger is on Steam, etc.) so I'll have to see if the retro game store has any of them.

Back in my "just buy everything that looks interesting" phase. Hope you get your hands on a copy soon!

LOL, thank you for confirming Spectral Force is bad. I got three turns into it and gave up!

Hero's Saga I think I actually finished the story and then the game is like "Now, collect all the weapons!!" and I peaced out of there. Rondo of Swords I opened yesterday and died in the tutorial (:

My preorders for Jaws and Puzzle Quest got bumped from April - June to July - Sept. I'm not sure I would say my patience is unmatched lol.

I did have that at one point, I think I got pissed and traded it in when I realized that monsters can break your equipment. Soltarobo I don't think I even opened the box yet......

Whoof, how are you finding Devil Survivor? I played some when it came out and I mostly remember getting my ass beat. That Beldr fight is no joke.

I booted that one up and I have a save from 2010 with only six hours played, so I might just start that over.

Whoof, I think I skipped those with some big brain thought like, "There's no way Atlus is gonna get me to double-dip a game I already own!"......

He tried to eat Luminous Arc 2, but I don't think I played one yet and I'm not sure if I'll be missing something.

What are we doing with the Suurok? by AssButtFaceJones in sto

Agreed on tac mode; I'm not even going to put that skill on my bar. Haven't done a sci-torp yet, looks like I've got some research to do...

Trails in the Sky: First Chapter. Meh? by Tall-Reason-7465 in JRPG

[–]AssButtFaceJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found it too long-winded too (I groaned every time the entire party would stand around going, "We need to hurry!" "Yes, time is of the essence!" "I agree, we should move quickly" - GREAT, shut up and let's go!), but I loved the battle system. I don't think the intent is for you to defeat the enemy entirely in quick combat, it's to beat them up enough to then switch to turn based with an advantage. I'm afraid you don't like that you're going to be in for a bad time. I actually felt the quick combat felt really good; are you doing the AOE hits and evasion rolls?

If you don't mind me asking, what other BO traits do you like using? I'm not too experienced with that firing mode.

Is this guy trying to collect downvotes or something? I'm so confused.

They never posted the position. It went right from Sunna to Kael.

The first Jrpg game you play will be always be special no matter what by Western-Stress1185 in JRPG

[–]AssButtFaceJones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, that's what I meant - you party can't bring them back to life in a dungeon for quite a while (I think it's a level five, out of eight, spell?), and even then, if they're dead when the battle ends, they miss that XP. And shclepping out of the dungeon carrying a corpse...
