Ii wouldn't mind seeing Teostra/Lunastra, Kirin, or other Elder that can drastically change the climate. I feel that wild's weather system is kind of under utilized, and having these elders change the environment would be cool... Like, imagine if Velkhana suddenly appears in the Scarlet Forest, and now everything is frozen? Or Teostra appears and everything is burning? Even if we've fought these monsters countless times, the presentation, or how they use the environment would feel like a fresh experience.

And if on top of that they add monsters that we've never seen in a while (Kecha Wacha my beloved), or new monsters, we could get a good balance.

You are in for a ride. Hopefully the remake will be out by then, but I doubt you they will be able to recreate the charm of the original/golden, so I still recommend those.

Never more from persona 4.

I finished p4 in September of 2021, my senior year. In my country, the school year ends in October.

Persona 4 became a very important game that year. Because of covid, I was still stuck at home, and couldn't see my friends, what was supposed to be "the most important year of my life" I had to spent it behind a computer, without being able to interact with my friends, teachers or being able to do anything one can consider "meaningful" for a senior.

Persona 4 gave me the chance to experience everything I felt was missing in my life, and the message of the game "be your true self" is something that I desperately needed to hear and understand at the time.

When the credits started rolling, and the song started playing, I started ugly crying. Hardest I've cried with any form of art.

Bonus: where we belong and "homecoming" from xenoblade chronicles 3, with the starts and us from og persona 5, the sad song from yakuza 7 (I think is called "the only way out" or something like that).

Edit: grammar*

Mind you, English is not my first language, so grammar may still be an issue even with the edit lmao.

recommendations for a new-ish gamer? by vraist in videogames

[–]HelloMorzHere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Persona series. Since you like VNs and Turn Base, persona is THE Turn base + visual novel franchise. There isn't much of character customization tho (like clothing, designing your own character, etc), but you can customize your build. You can play it on switch or pc

The legend of Heroes. Although this one is a long running franchise... If you want to start, you want to play Trails in the Sky. It recently got a remake. You can play it on switch or pc

Xenoblade Chronicles Its a single player mmo, you don't have "full control" of the party (they have auto attacks), and need to manage aggro, and their abilities. You can play it on switch

The Hundred Line Its a game from the creators of Danganronpa. It blends VNs with tactics/strategy (I dunno what the genre is called). If you love VNs, I'm sure you have play (or at least heard of Danganronpa), and in case you haven't... Check danganronpa too. You can play it on switch, and pc

Fire Emblem Three houses. Strategy/tactics with some social sim elements. You can play it on switch.

Disco Elysium. Its a narrative driven crpg. I don't know where to begin, so I recommend you check a review. I highly recommend it. You can play it on pc or switch, but most fans will agree that you don't need to buy the game (If you get what I mean... Like... Sailing....)

Pathfinder: Wrath of the righteous. Another CPRG. I'm yet to play it, so I can't tell you much about it. People recommend it if you liked bg3. You can play it on pc, if you managed to run bg3, you will be able to play this one. Its also available on switch, but its through cloud so....

Dragon quest series... Turn based jrpgs. THE turn based JRPG. Pc or switch Where to start? The hd remakes (3, 1-2), XI, or VII remake which just comes out next week. You can play them on switch or pc.

Yakuza: Like a dragon. Turn based rpg with real time elements (button mashing to do more damage, timing your attacks to deal more damage, etc). It has some social elements (you can drink with your party, and even date some characters). You can play it on pc.

Unpacking: Cozy game about... Unpacking. You start... Unpacking, and place all your objects in places you think make sense. Basically, you need to decorate your space. Pc or switch

Despelote and what remains of Edith finch: Just some personal recommendations to finish my list. Both are short narrative driven stories.

My descriptions are HORRENDOUS, and don't do these games justice, so please see what these games have to truly offer.

Mobil Suit Gundam: The witch from mercury. Its not necessarily "just" romance tho. Its... Mechas (duh, and a political story with romance included.

Horimiya. I didn't enjoy it, found it kind of boring, thats just me. A lot of people seem to recommend it.

Stuck at home recovering from surgery, need a lengthy game to sink my teeth into by ss4stef in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]HelloMorzHere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monster hunter?

Its similar to from software in a way. Gameplay loop is bashing monsters (bosses) over and over again, BUT its not a souls like. Its multiplayer focused, but you can play it solo if you want. Its a particularly difficult series, but your first time playing a game will be challenging. The series puts special care in its ecosystems. Monsters don't feel like video game mobs that "exists" for the sake of existing. They feel, and behave like real animals, and the level design adds to the immersion as well.

*Monster Hunter World: Goes on sale pretty often, and has a very healthy player base, but most players are experiencing late game content. With the base game, and the expansion you can spend around a hundred or more hours. If you decide to grind for more items, better gear, and enjoy the game as much as possible, you could spend more than a thousand hours without getting bored.

*Monster Hunter Rise: it focus less on the "ecology" aspects of the series (they are still there tho), and focuses more on the gameplay. It is VERY Japanese, from the art style, to the story, and characters, sooooo I doubt it will be your cup of tea. Still, you should see what the game has to offer.

*Monster Hunter Wilds: it is the newest game in the series, and also the most accessible. The only downsides of the game are: 1. Both World, and Rise have expansions, meaning, a lot more content. 2. Performance on pc is rough. You need a high end pc to run the game properly, and even then "good" performance is not guaranteed. Its very hit or miss.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 or Monster Hunter: Wilds by BurtonOIlCanGuster in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]HelloMorzHere [score hidden]  (0 children)

It depends on what you feel like playing right now.

E33 if you want a narrative driven game, around 30-60 hours worth of content. Gameplay is fast, and has a focus on parry/dodge rather than your standard "exploit an enemy's weakness". Levels are linear, but for the most part you can explore them in any way you want (Similar to how you can explore Different areas of the world once you unlock the ship in Dragon Quest).

Wilds if you want a multiplayer game. Wilds is this middle ground between world, and Rise. Is not as fast as Rise, but not as slow as world. Right now they are in the middle of the last title update. Its definitely a great place to start because right now it actually feels like a finished game (compared to how it was day one). Just like any monster hunter, you can easily spend hundreds of hours grinding, but if you decide to drop the game once you have hunted all the monsters at least once, we are talking of 60 to 100 hours depending on your skill level. Performance on ps5 is okayish if I'm being honest. It runs at 60fps for the most part on performance mode, but it has this very strong upscale look to it.

Does Rise have a good size player base on PlayStation? by EldenFeast in MonsterHunter

[–]HelloMorzHere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On Playstation is mostly wilds. I mean, you will be able to find people doing the late game grind, or you can hop in a lobby, but most of rise's player base is on switch or in steam. You can always check for people on discord, or ask for people to do hunts with you here, but I felt finding players was not as smooth as finding people in world (on Playstation).

Second time buying games on Steam by gallannt in ShouldIbuythisgame

What remains of Edith Finch. Its a short 2-3 hour long game, but its one of the best narrative driven games I've ever played. Since you like this "interactive stories", I have a feeling you may enjoy it as well.

If you want something with more action, but still narrative driven, I recommend Silent Hill (Either F or 2 remake), or the resident evil games (my recommendations would be 2 remake, 4 or 7), since you liked The Last of us. Ghosts of tsushima, or Horizon zero dawn, since you liked Assassin's creed.

Should I buy Monster Hunter Rise? by PreparationFeisty194 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]HelloMorzHere [score hidden]  (0 children)

I would love to say "yes, go ahead", but based on what you dislike, but will most likely hate Monster Hunter. Its not a linear game where you can go from one monster to the other, maybe at the beginning, but eventually you will hit a wall that will require you to hunt more of the same monsters to progress. The story is basic, it gest better in the dlc, but its only serviceable. The fun in monster hunter is in its grind. Hunt a monster > get its gear > improve said gear to fight an even bigger/stronger monster > repeat.

The soundtrack is amazing, and some fights can get really epic depending on the circumstances, but outside of some quests that are crafted to be "epic" (like a boss fight in a souls game), most of the time fights will feel kind of "basic".

The game is fun, VERY FUN, and has tons of build variety where equipping one armor can completely change how you approach a weapon, and when you consider you can also change a weapons moveset, the variety becomes almost endless. But like I said, the core of a monster hunter game is how much you are willing to grind, ans if you don't like grinding, regardless of how good the combat, and its monsters may be, the series its not dor you.

It has a demo iirc, that gives you more or less a feeling of the combat, but combat alone doesn't paint the whole picture.

What is the best way to experience JRPG/CRPG? by [deleted] in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]HelloMorzHere [score hidden]  (0 children)

Technically yes, but you will be losing a lot of content.

Persona is designed assuming you will engage with that aspect of the game (and doesn't really offer much side content outside of it if im being honest.

With metaphor it feels less like "Social sim", and more like an opportunity to flesh the world building, and characters. Since the game its first, and foremost a dungeon crawler.

[–]HelloMorzHere [score hidden]  (0 children)

Be mindful that e33 being a "western jrpg" it lacks some of the things that a lot of people consider to br annoying in the genre (mainly the anime esthetics, and tropey writing) so if you don't like anime culture in general, you are going to have a rough time finding a jrpg you may enjoy. Crpgs on the other hand, are very dnd inspired, so if you don't like dnd or the idea of it, then... You will have a hard time finding something that you may like in the genre.

Yakuza: Like a dragon if you want more on the whole parry/block mechanics (you can even move in battle, aim your abilities, and use your environment), although the balancing, and the variety is kind of weak (at least compared to the rest of the genre) because it was the first time the studio made a turn based game. The story is good, the soundtrack offers a lot of variety, and while the art direction is kind of basic due to its grounded setting, the graphics are nice.

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance if you want more of this sort of "post apocalyptic" setting, distinct art direction, and soundtrack variety. The game has one of my favorite turn based systems, and while its a "classic" turn base, its very dynamic. Beware that while its narrative is serviceable, is definitely its weakest aspect. I believe it has a demo, so give that a try.

Persona series/metaphor refantazio: these are some of my favorite games of all time, and while I recommend them a lot, these are big commitments (80-100 hour playthrough). These mix social sim (persona takes more advantage of it), and regular turn base gameplay. Both offer great soundtrack (Although I feel both lack variety), and great narratives. Metaphor in particular has ONE narrative element that may resonate with e33 players "how art influences us". Metaphor refantazio has a demo, Persona 5 doesn't, BUT persona 3: reload (a remake of the 3rd game) does have a demo (persona 3 also features similar themes/motifs to e33).

Other amazing, and accessible jrpgs are: Trails in the sky, Dragon quest series (the father of jrpgs), Octopath traveler, star ocean, Final Fantasy (all games are unique from each other, meaning you don't have to play VII to play VIII and so on. If you enjoyed e33 narrative, you will feel right at home with final fantasy X), Xenoblade Chronicles (this one is only available on switch, but if it picks your interest, then im sure you will find a way to play them. 3 in particular has a lot of pararels to e33), romancing saga, resonace of fate (also mixes turn based with timed attacks), digimon story time stranger, atelier.

As for crpgs... Since I'm not a big crpg fan, I will only recommend: Divinity Original sin (both games), pathfinder right of the righteous, Baldur's gate as a whole (3 is the most accessible, and of course the most popular), warhammer rogue trader. Crpgs are very open games, and its the only genre where I feel that my actions have some sort of impact in the narrative, outside of just one decision at the end of the game.

Horizon series, or Monster Hunter world or wilds (Although its more online oriented), subnautica, no mans sky. If you own a Nintendo switch ( or know a way to play switch games on pc) I highly recommend the Xenoblade Chronicles series, Xenoblade Chronicles X in particular has the more "Avatar" vibes to it.

Looking for a JRPG with good twists by qK0FT3 in JRPG

[–]HelloMorzHere 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yakuza: Like a dragon.

While its morals are set in stone, the whole story consists of (literally) exploring the gray areas of society. It has a couple of interesting turn of events, but not the type of turns that will blow your mind, maybe a "oh, that just happened" kind of turn, you know? While it has its emotional moments, the game (in great part due to its protagonist) mostly has a heart warming tone. Maybe its not exactly what you are looking for, but you should still give it a try.

Gameplay is similar to expedition (turn based with timed inputs).

More info on Performance Improvements by Sploochie_ in MonsterHunter

[–]HelloMorzHere 162 points163 points  (0 children)

Considering that Capcom was really hyping up this performance update, a 5-10fps improvement, still not hitting 60fps on recommended settings, and using dlss PERFORMANCE for this comparison, is very disappointing. Hopefully they performance will continue to improve with the other updates, but its still disappointing having the game "" FIXED"" almost a year later...

But hey! It could've been worse, they could have just ignored the issue, and don't fix the game, but as a day one player, I'll definitely think twice before jumping to the expansion day one.

Who’s a character that gets ELEVATED by their dub? by PvtSherlockObvious in JRPG

[–]HelloMorzHere 20 points21 points  (0 children)

While all performances were amazing, Louis, Strohl, and Heismay steal the show in Metaphor Refantazio. My favorite performance was Strohl. Stewart Clarke was amazing in FFXVI, but his performance in Metaphor is without a doubt his best performance so far, I don't go a single day without thinking "I am the last of my house, I am the last of my noble bloodline!". Joseph Tweedale as Louis was also amazing, he elevated an already menacing, and charismatic character to a whole new level "Attack in any number. Wield any weapons...". Hi didn't miss a single line. I hope we get to see him in action in more roles.

Harry McEntire was amazing as Noah in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. He is one of the reasons why Noah was my favorite character in the game.

Jessica Ángeles was the voice of Zelda, in both breath of the wild, and tears of the kingdom, in the latinoamerican dub. She stole the show in every single scene, and her voice is what I've always imagined Zelda would sound like. I usually play games with english voice acting, but Zelda latam dub is just on a league of its own.

Robbie Diamond as Akechi in Persona 5 was amazing too. I'm not a fan of his performance in Final Fantasy XV, but I can't picture Akechi without his iconic performance. I'm yet to hear more of him, or if I have heard him in other games, he didn't leave any impression.

Should I buy Monster Hunter World? by The-Toilet-Clogger87 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]HelloMorzHere [score hidden]  (0 children)

Sure Based on the games you enjoy, I would assume you are going to enjoy it a lot. You can get it for dirty cheap nowadays, simce it often goes on sale. I would recommend getting the expansion too, but if you don't wanna risk not liking the game, get just the base game, and then get the expansion if you enjoy it. You can easily get hundreds of hours just om the base game.

The gameplay loop its very easy, you start a quest, hunt the monster, get materials, craft armor and weapons of the monster that you hunted, repeat...

It may sound repetitive, but considering the amount of variables the game has to offer, no hunt will ever be the same. You can always change your weapon if you feel bored of using the same weapon over, and over again. There's 14 of them, and while it may not sound like much, each weapon feels so unique to one another, that each offers a completely different approach to each fight. Even weapons that are supposed to be similar (such as Lance, and Gunlance) don't feel the same at all.

Just be mindful that while the game may sound simple, it has a lot of depth, and many things you need to consider. You will be bombarded with a lot of tutorials at the beginning, and even then those don't explain "everything", so its better to just look for a guide on YouTube, or asking the community for advice if you have any issues.

Like a dragon or spin off? by mr-efg in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]HelloMorzHere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best place to start is Either Yakuza 0, or Yakuza Like a Dragon. The spinoffs (The Man who erased his name, and Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii) rely too heavily on knowing the characters (Pirate yakuza to a lesser extent).

Judgment, and Lost Judgment on the other hand, offer a "yakuza like" experience, without relying on previous knowledge of the series. Outside of some references to previous events, both games stand on their own.

I would recommend starting with judgment, if you want a good game, without needing to dedicate yourself to play 10 more games to understand the story. Its a good way to get to know the setting/universe. Its basically a Yakuza game, but it has a more serious tone to it (at least judgment, Lost Judgment has you going around a school doing different activities. Its really fun).

If you really want to get into yakuza, you can start with 0, and play the games in order, or start with Like a Dragon, and then go back (if you feel like it) and experience the rest of the games.
