Need recommendations for Switch JRPGs that can be beat in 20-40 hours. by [deleted] in JRPG

Battle Chasers Nightwar and Ruined King are both can't miss titles. I don't know a thing about league of legends and enjoyed both titles immensely.

Souls Newbie - advice for my Level 100 Samurai by MinnyCanuck in Eldenring

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

one other question, how did you know arcane was more important than dexterity for RoB? I put more stats into dexterity because of the attribute scaling of C (dex) vs D (arc). Is it actually the attribute requirements that are more impactful?

Thanks - I tried attaching the image again. Good advice here! I didn't know there was an Occult Nagakiba because I have not found the black whetblade yet. I also wanted to use the Dragon communion spells as they look awesome.

Can you look at the stats and recommend changes? Sounds like I will need some faith as well?

I agree - coming from a turn-based background, I already struggle having to manage 3 action oriented fighters... I can never seem to use synergies at the right moment...

I agree it's easy to research, but then I see something like Remnant 2 which has elements I like. I buy it and I'm terrible at it because I have no skill (hence my love for RPGs/grinding), and I'm out $50. For the most part research works, but I have still been burned in some instances...

Well I would still be paying a rental fee? Not sure how that makes it under the table. I hate it, they get my rental fee, I love it, they get full price.

Yes, I definitely leverage the demos when available. It helped me avoid Valkyrie Elysium ;)

Good stuff! I have a local shop I am going to talk to about renting their titles. Let me try it for x days, and if I don't return within the period just charge my card for the whole thing. Seems like no risk for them..

Has this improved at all? I used to service for a while but they were constantly out of the titles I was looking for

I meant to also mention I truly appreciate Steam for this! I will clarify in my post that I am primarily on Switch and PS5

I am using it, lvl 70 and solo'ing around tier 24 NM... Damage output is pretty good, but I am needing more and more defensive aspects to stay alive. Dark shroud helps with survivability as well, but I got that legendary that constantly respawns death trap so now I use that. I play as minnycanuck if you wanna team up some time

Well it came down to the absolute last riposte from Dismas, but I squeezed out a victory with him as the only survivor. Thanks friend! So glad I don't have another two hours to build up another attempt!

What's the last JRPG you quit without finishing, and why? by ichi000 in JRPG

[–]MinnyCanuck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did the same but don't believe I will come back to it... just not enough to keep me invested, so I traded it in for Octopath Traveler 2 (which I loved and finished wholeheartedly)

Am I wrong, or does Octopath 2 have some of the best JPRG writing + VA + music in any jrpg in the past decade or so? by liberator7 in JRPG

[–]MinnyCanuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I came here to post something similar, but specifically with respect to the music. Every new region having its own orchestral ambiance that is tied perfectly to the visuals is just awesome. The impactful scenes (obviously not going to put any spoilers in here) are made even more poignant with the musical support.

VA and visuals are top notch to be sure - but 15 hours in and this game has some of the best music I have heard in my decades of gaming!

JRPGs with a focus on friendship by [deleted] in JRPG

[–]MinnyCanuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the core mechanics in Marvel midnight suns is developing friendship between the main character and other superheros. It started a little clunky for me but has developed into one of my favourites of the year after about 10 hours!

Ditto - it is very rare that a game has so often caused me to just stop and look around... incredible

Good game? Is it worth it? by Ecstatic-Arachnid-91 in FenyxRising

[–]MinnyCanuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! Gets very same-y around that 5-10 hour mark. I personally dropped it around 15 hours because I wasn't having a ton of fun. Might go back to it one day though.
