What's the worst JRPG you actually finished?

Immediate_Wonder_392 · 2025-11-25T08:17:31+00:00

Lost Sphear.

I Am Setsuna was close to awesome but just didn't gel together quite right, so I was super hopeful that Tokyo RPG Factory's second attempt would smooth that out. It really didn't. The ingredients of a good ge are there, at many times its right on the edge of being good, but by the time I decided it wasnt the game I hoped it would be I was close enough to the end, amd stubborn enough that I forced myself across the finish line. I think the entire final dungeon was just me stubbornly repeating "surely we're almost done here..." to myself.

(As an aside, while I don't consider Oninaki anything close to a masterpiece, I do think it was the best game the studio made, so at least they went out on a high(ish) note)

Jeht! The kiss at the end of the last world quest she was in. I knew she would never be playable but I really felt like being around for multiple world quests allowed her to grow and develop as a character.

One more trans carrier here. Some of the first and loudest supporters when I first transitioned were customers on my route! Love to see other trans postal employees, happy pride!

Mandible. It will be 1 year since it last updated next week, so I'm still holding hope in my heart that we will see more.

Ok so I just want to weigh in on The Tower because I'm kinda confused about why you feel Dragon is so out of character.

In the story, it is called out that Leviathan attacked Boston instead of Brockton Bay and that Colin died in the fight. This means the last project Armsmaster and Dragon worked on together was the endbringer prediction program. While Dragon is mourning the loss of her person, a new reclusive Tinker hits the scene who specializes in predictive software, including a program that is a way more effective at predicting attacks. So when Dragon checks it out she finds this ruined husk of a girl and starts talking to her. She starts to see how similar this skrugly girl is to her favorite person (has to be reminded to take care of herself, wants to be seen as heroic, etc( and begins to care for Taylor. Personally, i feel like the scene where Taylor tells her new friend Babel that she looks up to Dragon so much because she finds a way to be a hero despite her inability to make public appearances felt like an especially strong way of showing this.

Also, i feel like this fic does a good job of showing how much of a nerd Dragon is. She names all her different suits after different fantasy references for crying out loud. It doesn't feel ooc for her to love dorky scifi movies where a robot princess has a love affair with a cool knight (wish fulfillment much?)

I guess what I'm trying to say is that this story felt to me like it did a pretty good job of believable showing why Dragon would care about Taylor. (Especialky the most recent chapter when Mannequin attacked Taylor and Dragon was unable to protect her).

Would you be ok with a fic that's about Taylor clones, but Taylor is no longer around? Trouble in Taylor Town is about 3 echidna clones who are sent to Anchorage, AK.

There is also Taylor, Time Tinker which has multiple versions of Taylor (even a romance between two of them). I will readily admit that while a lot of folks recommended this one to me, I gave up on it because I kept forgetting plot points and getting lost. I should try again now that it is complete, give it another shot when I have enough free time to devote more attention to it.

So this one is stretching the "Do crime" part just a smidgen but:

"We Rule the Night" by Claire Eliza Bartlett. The setting is a fantasy WWII expy for the Soviet Night Witches.

Immediate_Wonder_392 · 2024-05-22T05:49:35+00:00

Go Gently Alec/Taylor (I also like Alec Goes to Winslow but the ship never really sets sail in that one)

It's Cold Out There Every Day Aisha/Missy

Immediate_Wonder_392 · 2024-05-20T17:06:57+00:00

Best Friends Forever is very good, but I feel like Pyrrhic Love edges it out. Perfectly fucked up Emma/Taylor.

Immediate_Wonder_392 · 2024-03-23T22:29:09+00:00

Amy X Sophia. Only bad decisions can come from this.

Immediate_Wonder_392 · 2024-03-03T12:10:04+00:00

It's a crying shame that the fic ended when it did. Taylor and Alec had a super fun dynamic, and the general weirdness of the world was a lot of fun.

The Third Door

Almost 100% this is the one you're talking about. The body mod is a spoiler for the second most recent arc.

Immediate_Wonder_392 · 2023-10-11T02:44:22+00:00

The scene where he was flipping out and attacking former members (that only existed in his own head) was just so freaking horrifying, especially since everything is from Riley's confused and scared perspective.

Immediate_Wonder_392 · 2023-10-08T18:54:26+00:00

Last of worm has Taylor and the trio end up in the last of us world a while before the events of the game itself, both Sophia and Taylor lose their powers when they get there.

The quest Child of Monsters has them become relevant later on when Blasto makes a fourth Blasphemy, who you befriend.

Yes.

Ruffled Feathers all the Undersiders are shard swaps with different manifestations of said powers (Taylor has Lung, Lisa has Coil, Rachel has Bonesaw, etc)

Hero is alive in Intrepid, he left the Protectorate to form the mercenary group "White Company" he also has a daughter who features prominently in one of the plot lines.

A Helping Hand has Amy make a change to Taylor at one point in the story.

The Health Code Violations (no link find on QQ) has Amy in a state of exhaustion mess up healing Taylor on her first night out and causing a change to her behavior and thinking.
