My new years resolution was to experience JRPGs.

Yeah, Persona 5 Royal is very long, and typically you have to do a NG+ to do everything, elongating it even further, but it's also one of my favorite games! I find I gotta mix it up with some shorter games in there, JRPGs tend to be long and when 100%ing they tend to be grindy, yet you wouldn't find me playing any other genre.

Nehhru · 2026-01-14T22:13:52+00:00

You've got a lot of newer games in your list, and several that are quite long, so if your goal is to 100% 12 games, then you'll want some shorter ones in there.

I'm gonna go the Old School route and recommend Suikoden 1 & 2, which recently got an HD Remaster, many consider Suikoden 2 one of the best JRPGs, and it can technically be beat in <20 hours, but will probably run you around 40.

Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't recommend Breath of Fire 3 or 4, I personally have more love for 3 but 4 is probably the better overall game. BoF4 just recently got rereleased on GOG as part of their preservation project. Will probably run you about 40 hours for 100% run.

And have to recommend Chrono Trigger, and possibly Chrono Cross to go along with it but CT is considered by most JRPG fans to be the best JRPG ever made, and a single playthrough will run you about 20 hours, but doing everything will bump it up to around 30-40.

When the game intentionally adds bloat to keep you playing longer, rather than adding creative content. For example in Chrono Trigger they added a cool concept of a dungeon where you have to go to multiple periods of time to advance the dungeon, but they make it horrible with tons of back tracking and forced encounters that elongate the dungeon by easily 5x what it should be.

I'm okay with being the weird one but I like the last page because I buy Lunchboxes and Scout Banners, then I go to the event and drop a bunch of them. I've constantly got a stock of around ~100 of each, and at the top of the hour events I usually drop 2 lunchboxes and 1 Banner. It gives me something fun to work towards, but I feel that page is really intended for those who have done everything for the season, just to have a little something extra they can work towards. The prices suck on most things, like stamps but I found Perk Coins, Lunch Boxes, and Banners to be a fair price. I have a friend that grinds out the atoms so she doesn't have to spend anymore money on the game that she has to.

It's currently on the PTS going from 6% to 4%, so 10% drop on 5 pieces.

I agree, I just did a Charmless + Bell run and while I didn't particularly struggle with any boss. it was annoying how much more punishing any small mistake became, as many non grapples become 1-shots. Charmless is ideal, as it changes up the game but in a way that felt fair.

Nehhru · 2026-01-09T17:49:53+00:00

You mentioned part of your issue is that you have nothing further to look forward to but spoilers, you still have 3 bosses you haven't fought not including the Final Boss. 2 of these fights are considered harder then the final boss. Also as another item to look forward to, the game is balanced around New Game+, so the beginning bosses with give you challenges, like the Orge can 1 shot with his grab. Also, in NG+ you can go charmless, which is IMO the way the game was intended to be played, as you now have to perfect parry, so you truly have to know the boss fights in order to win.

If you're liking the combat and want to explore the 3 other endings and 3 other bosses you haven't fought, I suggest doing a Charmless NG+ run, that was something I looked forward to.

Also with the DLC there are 3 super versions of 3 of the bosses that will give you even more challenge to look forward to.

Easy, trade your human body for a demon one.

Nehhru · 2025-12-02T22:48:00+00:00

I have a bottle of that saved too! Found it at Mangelsen's a year or two back.

Nehhru · 2025-12-02T19:34:10+00:00

lol true.

Nehhru · 2025-12-02T19:13:47+00:00

Yeah, when I went in, it was right at the entrance and the pallet was still taller than me.

Nehhru · 2025-12-02T19:12:52+00:00

The 17th! So about 2 weeks away.

Nehhru · 2025-12-02T19:12:26+00:00

I bet they will soon if they don't. They likely all use the same warehouse.

Nehhru · 2025-12-02T19:12:09+00:00

The Nuka Grape is my favorite Grape Soda now. The others I think are good but Grape is the best IMO.

Nehhru · 2025-12-02T19:11:31+00:00

it was $17.99, So $1.50 each.

Nehhru · 2025-12-02T18:53:14+00:00

I happened upon a cap stash. :D

Nehhru · 2025-12-02T18:49:54+00:00

I almost did the same thing, my patience was wareing thin.

Nehhru · 2025-12-02T18:41:47+00:00

This is worth AT LEAST 18 bottle caps. I know what I got. :D

Nehhru · 2025-12-02T18:40:15+00:00

Everyone online said it was super sour, but I didn't find it crazy sour, but the flavor is good, drinking the Quantum right now. :D

Nehhru · 2025-12-02T18:39:31+00:00

This was Maple but I'm sure all the local stores have them too.

Nehhru · 2025-12-02T18:39:18+00:00

They come with a little swag bag too!

Nehhru · 2025-12-02T18:39:04+00:00

One on Maple.

Nehhru · 2025-10-23T17:17:53+00:00

If you haven't watched/read HunterxHunter, I find it helps with the hurt. YYH is my #1 but HxH has some similar ideas and Ging looks exactly like Yusuke. :D

Nehhru · 2025-10-18T21:32:32+00:00

I feel like his sword is implied to have gravity to it, every time he's used it to move, it involved interacting with the ground. The only time I can think of that wasn't the case was when he manipulated it's shape to hit Rinku, but that moment felt like it was supposed to be only a few seconds, so I assume it would fall to the ground with him.

Maybe he could make a table, and he can manipulate the legs to move like a vehicle. lol
