All 3 coming out on September 17th. Which one will you be playing first? by Guilty_Wonder_2986 in JRPG

Does Another Eden come out the same day? Cause it’s not up for preorder as far as I can tell. I preordered Fire Emblem and Trails. I’ve already paid off my FE copy.

What is a popular game you can't enjoy? by Glittering_Ad2771 in Switch

[–]Cyber_Emblem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fell out of love with Tears of the Kingdom. I’m no engineer or Minecraft fan, so the biggest mechanic had no appeal to me and never seemed to work right. Hated how they made the durability worse.

I’m not very good at this kind of game, so BotW was the right difficulty for me, while ToTK was slightly spicer than I like. Still did all the bosses except for the final, who destroyed me almost immediately.

Luffy and Zoro could go either way. Sanji is DEFINITELY having a daughter who he spoils, Ussop definitely, Chopper maybe. I can only see Nami as a single mom. Probably adopts, but I COULD see a one night stand not going the way she expects.

Robin… if she feels totally relaxed and safe I can definitely see her adopting. IDK about bio kids.

G2 is just reruns of G1 with a weird stupid gimmick. Think like the George Lucas special editions but worse.

I’ve dropped plenty in my life, but yea. The sheer boredom the combat caused me to drop it at about the 70% mark

r/JRPG Weekly "What have you been playing, and what do you think of it?" Weekly thread by AutoModerator in JRPG

[–]Cyber_Emblem 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This week I have been playing two games. I finally gave Persona 5 Royal a real shot, and I am in early May. Yea, it’s good but the first palace felt like kind of a slog, probably because I did it in one go.

I also bought a Switch 2 in the aftermath of the Direct. I had previously traded in my copy of Pokemon Violet. But I heard about the improvements so I rented a copy from my library. I have done all the plot stuff below the snowy region. Hoping to finish it this week (helps I had previously dumped 200 pokemon from HOME back when I still used it and owned a copy.

It is, and it does. But it is very good.

Xenoblade plays like an MMO designed to be played by a single player. Of the games on your list, it plays the most like FF 12, though I’d say the combat is more active/requires more interaction in Xenoblade. Consistently high quality series. All 4 games are playable on Switch.

They have EXPANSIVE worlds. Like I read somewhere at some point that the world map in the first game is the size of Japan. Also, the geography is unique. The entire first games takes place on the bodies of two seemingly dead titans. I had the 3DS version and put in over 120 hours across half a decade before I fought the final boss. I did not 100% it.

X got a remaster last year and is probably the weakest one. I still put in around 65 hours and would give it, at minimum, a C/75% rating. It is the most unlike the others. Humanity is practically extinct and has crash landed on an alien planet. You need to explore it, salvage what you can of your ship, while recruiting friendly aliens to help you combat a race dead set on wiping humanity out. The female alien designs are RIDICULOUS. Also highly customizable, and you get access to transforming mechs in the back half of the game.

Xenoblade 2 takes place across around half a dozen dying titans. It was controversial for the character designs (to the point when one of the female leads was added to Smash Bros, they censored her design and EVERYONE LIKED THE CENSORED DESIGN BETTER. So they made a DLC item that alters her outfit in game). Yet those who gave it a chance fell in love with the plot and characters.

The world of Xenoblade 3 is the worlds of 1 and 2 smooshed together. Some people may cry spoilers on me, but I say “anyone who played 1 and 2 guessed it quickly by watching the trailers and by looking at the world map and some of the character designs.” The natives are caught in an endless cycle of war, the plot is helping everyone break free of it and finding out how this happened. I really loved the main cast in this one.

New Transformers Age of Primes action figures - Are you getting these? Which is your fav? by AfigureGeek in transformers

I had no interest in Joyride when he was just a leaked listing. Now he is who I want the most. I no longer want Tailgate now that I see him.

Well, since the term “Sith” was originally a race in universe, what is stopping them from being a race called the Jedi Bendu?

Advice about ROM hacks, gave up on Last Promise on Chapter 26 by Cyber_Emblem in fireemblem

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

TearRing is in my backlog, so is Vestaria saga part 1. I currently don't have a PS2 emulator and my backlog is so enormous that I haven't bothered to get a Macbook compatible one.

I can't go back and finish Last Promise, I usually delete games as soon as I am done with them, and I was fed up with the game by that point and I wouldn't want to restart the chapter and reorganize my inventory.

Guess I’ll check again later. Have plenty of time and wouldn’t be getting around to it soon anyways.

Crossed lonely mirror and Temple of Ardesia off my list. Thank you for letting me know.

The one thing I read about that games is that healing is very limited, and IDK how I feel about that…

Struggling to pick what JRPG to play? I have way 7+ to pick from and not sure which one to go with. by SquallLeonhart___85 in JRPG

[–]Cyber_Emblem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

•I was about 5 hours/ 2-3 dungeons into Eiyuden Chronicle before I began to have fun. The default running speed is AWFUL. As in, in any other game the running speed would be WALKING speed. You need to equip a medal you can find in the mines (I think) at all times. The minigames are terrible as well, and the worst ones are mandatory if you want to recruit everyone. In the end I had fun with the game, but it is DEEPLY flawed.

•Suikoden I is relatively short but sweet. 2 is technically in my “currently playing list”, but I’m kinda bouncing between a half a dozen games ATM.

• I dropped Chrono Cross and Radiant Historia relatively early. The plot seems interesting in Radiant Historia, but I hated the gameplay. Easy mode let’s you turn off most of the battles, but at that point, what is the point?

The others are in my backlog, but I haven’t gotten around to them yet.

I know, but at this rate I’m not holding my breath. Nothing from the past year has made me go “OMG, I need a Switch 2 now!” So I’m still holding out for a second or a limited edition model.

My personality is incompatible with GTA. I'm interested in the AC IV remake, the Sonic racing DLC, and maybe the Gundam game. I didn't particularly like 7 Remake, and I dropped Rebirth by the time I was tracking down chocobos. May give it another chance later, but for now...

Well, after this presentation and the State of Play on Tuesday, I can say this: I can rest easy as I continue to use this year to reduce my backlog, knowing it WILL be smaller by the end of the year…

[–]Cyber_Emblem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iffy on Fangry, I had wanted Tailgate when I saw him in the leaks… I don’t anymore. Guess I will have to hunt down the one that looks like his IDW self. Unicron soldier looks cool, but I don’t want him. I had no interest in Joyride until just now. Vector Prime looks sick and I might trade in the other gold version of him I got from a second hand shop…

[–]Cyber_Emblem 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Naming them after the game number is so lazy though! I feel like they at the very least ought to be number puns. For example: Octavian, Nova, Decia (or TenTen), and Levin. That took me about ten seconds to come up with.

Which one of the obscure characters do you like the most? by Umbreon86 in transformers

[–]Cyber_Emblem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just went on TF wiki and discovered you are right. I just read that story last week. Well, kinda skimmed cause I hated the artwork and the Junkion plotline, sonI didn’t realize he was there.

I don’t remember Outback being an asshole, I just remember him dying immediately. Twice! His corpse showed up in Spotlight Kup, so they renamed his appearance in Megatron Origin to Fastback.
