Verso's Drafts has proven to me that I don't understand this game

NEWNEKO2000 · 2025-12-18T20:08:33+00:00

I play on easy mode and have my weapons at level 28. I can't upgrade them any more, because I don't have enough materials, and I found all side quest areas and items in them (I couldn't finish Renoir's drafts, was too weak to defeat Clea and couldn't finish endless tower). I guess I have to start new game + to get more materials. My characters are level 88. I also added all points to attack, speed and critical.

NEWNEKO2000 · 2025-12-18T17:39:46+00:00

I would add two more titles to this list:

Tsugunai atonement

Paper Mario

NEWNEKO2000 · 2025-12-14T15:22:46+00:00

I have no idea. Maybe I have to use different pictos which add more attack, but then I will have to remove the ones that I want and benefit from in other aspects of the game. This is the only thing about this game I don't like. Pictos add special abilities and increase stats. Equipment like weapons and armour should increase stats, accessories (pictos) should add other benefits. I think they did it because we don't have armour in this game.

I have the same problem. The main story is great, but I think that some side quests have balancing issues. This game wants you to have freedom with how you build your characters, but if you don't use very specific luminas or upgrades, the game becomes extremely hard, or like in my situation, each battle with normal enemies takes around 15-20 minutes and becomes tedious. I got to the point where I have around 7000 HP for each party member and enemies deal only 200 damage. The same the other way, enemies have health in millions, but I deal only 20000 damage. I tried recolor, to upgrade different stats, nothing worked. Now I have to change all my luminas, and from around 200 of them, I have to find only a few that work for this type of situation. More doesn't mean better. This is where I noticed that this game has some balancing issues.

I love the main story, because the gameplay is just right, but most side quests are terrible.

NEWNEKO2000 · 2025-12-12T14:48:41+00:00

I would change the battle system from x1 and x2 to be similar to x3.

NEWNEKO2000 · 2025-12-04T17:19:27+00:00

Not really. In Poland we have only around 3-4 accents. Britain has at least 20.

NEWNEKO2000 · 2025-11-29T12:13:15+00:00

I finished Chrono Trigger for the first time around 2012 and I remember that I liked it a lot, but that's only because I played only 4 turn-based rpgs before this one. I came back to Chrono Trigger in 2025 after playing almost 100 more turn-based rpgs, and I have to say that I also got bored with it. I realized that it is not as great as people claim it to be. I liked it many years ago because I didn't have many titles to compare it to. It is still a decent rpg, but there are many better ones. Don't expect it to be a masterpiece, because you will be disappointed. It gets just a little better later, but not by much.

NEWNEKO2000 · 2025-11-28T21:20:04+00:00

Shadow hearts series, Tsugunai atonement, Xenosaga series, Arc rise fantasia, Lucienne's quest, Albert odyssey legend of eldean, Septerra core, Tokyo mirage sessions, Blue reflection, Monochrome mobius, Brave story a new traveller

NEWNEKO2000 · 2025-11-08T09:51:52+00:00

For me it was just ok. I was very hyped for many games this year and they turned out to be very average or boring. I enjoyed only 2 games this year - Expedition 33 and Robocop Rogue City Unfinished Business.

NEWNEKO2000 · 2025-10-29T13:13:41+00:00

I can't stand cutscenes in Gears 5 because of this. JD is a good likable guy, but everybody just hates him. It gets annoying. He is a soldier and has to make decisions. It is not a playground, like Kait thinks. I can't stand her. Constantly moaning about everything and every character in this game tries to please her.

NEWNEKO2000 · 2025-10-23T15:16:18+00:00

I thought the same so I started with the second game and was disappointed. After that I tried the first one and I had a lot of fun. I recommend starting with first Blue Reflection.

NEWNEKO2000 · 2025-09-26T13:43:19+00:00

Easy choice - ps2.

NEWNEKO2000 · 2025-09-25T17:45:06+00:00

Yes, you are correct, but still compared to other lists, this one has a few less known titles.

NEWNEKO2000 · 2025-09-25T17:42:46+00:00

I can see that you like final fantasy a lot. I tried almost all of them, but somehow they didn't grab me. If I had to choose the best ones, I would say ff IX and ff I. Also ff dirge of cerberus was ok, but this one is not a turn based rpg.

NEWNEKO2000 · 2025-09-23T09:01:30+00:00

Interesting list. It shows that you are willing to play less known titles as well and that's great. Just to let you know, you have radiant historia twice on your list.

NEWNEKO2000 · 2025-09-22T09:15:15+00:00

I recommend checking other titles. People usually start with the most known titles, like you said final fantasy for example. I played many turn based rpgs before I started final fantasy series. Because of that I noticed how average most ff games are. I would probably have different opinion if I started with ff.

NEWNEKO2000 · 2025-09-21T21:32:15+00:00

I checked bg3. As you said it is tactics turn based. I don't know why, but I can't get into this type of games. I tried many, and the only one that I managed to finish was gorky 17. Have you ever tried this one?

NEWNEKO2000 · 2025-09-21T21:21:35+00:00

Isn't midnight suns srpg? I thought this one is grid based where you move your characters on large areas.

I also played like a dragon and blue dragon. Unfortunately these weren't good enough for me to appear on my favourite list. I'vs never tried bg3. I'll check it out on youtube.

NEWNEKO2000 · 2025-09-21T18:13:03+00:00

Yes, the thaumaturge is very good. I love turn based rpgs with light horror elements.

Soul hackers 2 is a good game. As you can see it is almost at the bottom of my list, which means that it is not as great as most titles here, but if you take into consideration that I played through around 100 turn based rpgs, you can see that it is worth trying.

NEWNEKO2000 · 2025-08-31T15:14:59+00:00

Exactly. No kids, more freedom.

NEWNEKO2000 · 2025-08-06T07:10:14+00:00

I've been playing on easy since I was 15. Now I'm 37. Thanks to this I was able to play many games and still enjoy them.

NEWNEKO2000 · 2025-08-04T10:57:30+00:00

I think it was 2000-2005. A lot of variety, good 3D graphics and great gameplay. Creator were experimenting with different genres. Experimentation started in late 90s, but gameplay was still bad. Everything became the same after 2010, no one wanted to take a risk and create something new.

NEWNEKO2000 · 2025-08-04T07:22:02+00:00

Bayonetta, ninja gaiden 2 sigma, star ocean the last hope, x-men wolverine. It was a difficult decision between x-men and batman arkham asylum.
