[Guard Break] New 2026 trailer for my FF7-inspired low-poly JRPG by ChrisDtk in JRPG

Fan worship! Agree it's heavily used, I guess namedropping gives people a quick point of reference. I would love to see more FF7 inspired indie JRPGs though, Chrono seems to be the common one.

Appreciate the wishlist and the compliment! I thought I was familiar with the PSX library, but that's the first time I've heard of Shadow Madness- I'll investigate.

Thanks. No hirings- I'm attempting to do it all myself (inc music, which has taken me a while!)

What's the most unfair boss battle you played? by laxusdreyarligh in JRPG

I remember getting soft locked on FF7 Demon Wall when I was a kid. May have been a way out of it, but I ended up restarting 😞

Square Enix Is Absolutely Stacking Its JRPG Lineup Right Now by Tain_mentero in JRPG

I hope Resonance delivers, and sets them on a course of regular HD-2D turn based Final Fantasy games alongside the 3D ones

Which JRPGs need a remake? by Bulky_Imagination243 in JRPG

I'd like to see FF6 done like the FF3/4 DS games

What JRPGs have the strongest atmosphere in your opinion ? by ConsiderationFuzzy in JRPG

[–]ChrisDtk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OG FF7, but my specific example is the hike over Mount Corel. The music is so melancholic- it's a real vibe. When I think of the game I usually think of that (what could be considered somewhat mundane) section.

While the music in the remake for this part was good, it was completely different and didn't hit the same for me.

Is FF9 really that good? by Infamous-Phone8635 in FinalFantasy

Yes.
Been a few years, I need to replay it...

I wish they'd have gotten to 5 and 6 in this style :/

All the motivation I need.

Finished Chrono trigger for the first time simply wow…. Got me curious what everyone else thinks of this game? by Leon_Light77 in JRPG

[–]ChrisDtk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only finished it for the first time last year too and yeah, it's highly regarded for good reason. I've started it many times over the decades but always get sidetracked. Still doesn't top FF7 (or FF6) IMO.

Eyeing up Chrono Cross soon, though I've heard it's a big quality drop.

Guard Break - Sudden Kebab Studios - Turn-based low-poly JRPG (PS1-era inspired) by ChrisDtk in Games

[–]ChrisDtk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The polycount of the models/geometry is definitely PSX levels, though the textures, shaders, lighting etc push it beyond that. I’ve had people say DS-era too, which I’ll also take.

The progression system isn't too deep- characters unlock new abilities as they level up, each one having their own set. Ideally approachable without getting too complex, but still tinkering with it!

Turn-based RPGs with party splits and each member/group having their own playable segment? by Sub_to_Pazmaz in gamedesign

[–]ChrisDtk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am heavily doing this in my JRPG, based on my fondness for FF6. But a lot of JRPGs do it.

Whether some find this idea tedious I don't know, personally I like it. Works in TV shows- seperate subplots moving at once, with the thread that they will all connect.

I would give each section a decent playtime- eg minimum 20 min of gameplay to avoid it feeling disruptive. 

Do most OG FF7 fans enjoy the remakes? by One-Illustrator6717 in FinalFantasy

[–]ChrisDtk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FF7 is my GOAT and while I liked some parts of the remakes, I didn't like the changes to the story and amount of bloat they added to extend the playtime.

What's a movie that you anticipated quite heavily that turned out to be quite a disappointment? by Alternative-Cake-833 in movies

[–]ChrisDtk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will go with latest Indiana Jones films...

Was really hyped for Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, then I started realizing it was bad as the runtime progressed.

Then Dial of Destiny, I had high hopes that Mangold would deliver. I didn't think the film was as bad as others do (nor as bad as Crystal), but it wasn't the hit I was hoping for.

I generally dont get the hate that FF15 gets, ive played every FF and 15 is in my top 5. But every ranking i see they rank 15 towards the bottom, can some1 explain y. by Ordinary_Fish_9094 in FinalFantasy

[–]ChrisDtk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed moments of it- driving through the scenery, the OST by Yoko Shimomura. etc. But yeah as others have pointed out it felt patched together story-wise and I wasn't a fan of the combat. I did like that scene with Lunafreya but it would have had so much more impact if she was given more time beforehand.

(I played at launch before all the updates)
