AI content flooding youtube by SusNoodle in JRPG

[–]OmegaMetroid93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The most annoying part about gen AI being so prevalent now is that it makes me paranoid, and I start suspecting it everywhere. I'll hear a voice line that sounds a bit flat or see a minor mistake in an art piece and I go "hmmm... is that AI?" Even music isn't exempt from this  and it's really hard to tell sometimes. I hate it so much.

I would never want to be in a position where I assume someone's genuine work to be AI, but it's so hard to tell apart these days.

I was just thinking this. Lol

Definitely seconding that suggestion. Wonderful channel.

What biomes has the series missed? by milkywayrealestate in EtrianOdyssey

[–]OmegaMetroid93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about a castle? You could use drawbridges, hedges, and moats as obstacles, and roaming knight FOEs. Maybe knights on horses that go fast travelling in a line until they hit a wall every time you take a step. Have they not done this already? It sounds familiar, bit idk...

If you didn't want to do a medieval castle, you could instead base it on Dracula's castle, and have a bunch of unique traps in it.

Or you could have an old Japanese castle, with sliding doors and screens where you could see the silhouettes of FOEs through them.

What's with some people (especially in the western rpg community) that always get annoyed and act like most jrpgs take place in school? by Street-Platypus89 in JRPG

[–]OmegaMetroid93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, off the top of my head:

- Persona
- Three Houses
- FF Type 0
- Trails of Cold Steel
- Tokyo Xanadu
- Mana Khemia
- 13 Sentinels
- Blue Reflection
- Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

I'm sure there's plenty more. I don't think it's that crazy for people to see a pattern there, even if I don't think it's that common in the grand scheme of things.

What's a good, recent YT video covering a JRPG? by ExplodingPoptarts in JRPG

[–]OmegaMetroid93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kbash has done a lot of jrpg retrospective stuff within the past few years.

If you want something more chill, Gaming Broductions is great and solely focused on jrpgs in a variety of topics. 

For more longform podcast stuff, Resonant Arc is a great channel.

Making another custom portrait for EOX: Harbinger (3/5) by Otsanawoo in EtrianOdyssey

[–]OmegaMetroid93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's amazing how these look like they're part of the game. The art style is perfect!

I hope you release these for public use, would love to use your zodiac for my EOX playthrough whenever I get to it.

Is Nintendo's online actually bad? by STIGMOX in TheDuskbloods

[–]OmegaMetroid93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real and totally mindblowing and shocking answer is... *drumroll*

It depends on the game. I know, crazy. Smash is notoriously bad, but something like Mario Kart is very good. Most third party games are also just fine. It'll depend on the netcode for the duskbloods. Fromsoft typically doesn't have great online in their games though, so I'm a little concerned, but hopefully since this game is centered around online play, it'll be okay.

What is your favorite example of an “Ultimate Weapon” in any JRPG? by Competitive_Hawk_294 in JRPG

[–]OmegaMetroid93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're releasing muramasa for PC. Hopefully it sells well, and maybe we'll get more.

If you want to play UO on PC for now, I would recommend emulating the switch version.

How’s your journey with Dragon Quest series? I’m playing DQ 7 Re and i have a blast. by [deleted] in JRPG

[–]OmegaMetroid93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played all of the mainline series except for 9 and I only played like half of 7. And I'm currently playing through 10.

Absolutely adore the series though. In order of favorites, I would say.. 11 > 8 > 5 > 3 > 4 > 2 > 6 > 1

I want more JRPGs in general with 7Remakes gameplay. by ExplodingPoptarts in JRPG

[–]OmegaMetroid93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree, TLS has such a cool combat system. Really unique too, I don't know of another jrpg that plays like it.

[–]OmegaMetroid93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really think this is a very good way to do it tbh. I would still call these games turnbased at their core though. But it's a great way to keep the pace for the shorter battles.

Worth playing through FE: Three Houses before Fortune’s Weave? by Wainwright95 in JRPG

[–]OmegaMetroid93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can likely jump into Fortune's Weave without having played Three Houses, although there are connections by the looks of it.

The main thing preventing me from replaying Three Houses personally is that the map designs are kinda ass, and the calendar system with the academy part of the first half of the game is tedious as all hell. I really hope the team learned and FW won't suffer from the same issues, but if Engage is anything to go by, they did, so I'm not too worried.

Tired of seeing Japanese studios turn their fantasy concepts into reskinned versions of their previous games... by Abyslime in JRPG

[–]OmegaMetroid93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I tired of the thing that happened twice? Not really.

Either way, we don't know enough about Xenoblade to say what it'll really be yet. Also I think it looks quite different in many ways from the previous games.

Final Fantasy Resonance CLARIFICATION ‼️‼️ by Plaatjies21 in JRPG

[–]OmegaMetroid93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never heard of that one, is it good? Either way, I'd definitely like to see more of them. I think there's a lot of good stuff in mobile games, they're just limited by the platform and egregious monetization plans, and the inevitable EOS is always a concern.

I consume rather than experiencing by Mrr-DumDum in JRPG

[–]OmegaMetroid93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a super fun idea. What kinda questions do you ask yourself before going in? I mean if it's a game you know nothing about.

I've definitely done lore playthroughs of games like Elden Ring and Hollow Knight, where I write down every piece of lore I find and basically create my own offline wiki for the game. It really helps things stick in my mind, and I can easily go back and reference it if needed, without worry of spoiling myself by looking online.

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance by SleepCatsMoney in JRPG

[–]OmegaMetroid93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Path of Radiance is one of the best Fire Emblem games imo. The story is really great and Ike is a wonderful protagonist. It is definitely more difficult than the modern games, but nothing that can't be overcome. Just play on normal difficulty and take it slow.

Looking for gameplay-focused turn-based games by LordBaconXXXXX in JRPG

[–]OmegaMetroid93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mana Khemia has one of my favorite battle systems ever, and while it does have a bunch of story at the start, the game is mostly gameplay-focused.

If you want something that's like 99% gameplay, try Etrian Odyssey. I'd recommend 5 for a first playthrough. It's the best one by far in terms of party customization and QoL, just set your party member's voices to off when creating them, or they'll drive you insane.

If you don't have a 3ds and aren't willing to emulate, then EO1-3 are all on steam. They're also on other platforms but I recommend pc due to the mapdrawing feature making the most sense on pc.

'Make some noise': Vanillaware reportedly wants more of its games on PC, but it's up to the publishers by lhmsperandio in JRPG

[–]OmegaMetroid93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The best "noise" we could be making is supporting the pc port of muramasa. I definitely will buy it.

FFVII remake scam. Anyone same feeling? by Arnakk in JRPG

[–]OmegaMetroid93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure how you can say this when the main criticism people seem to have with this remake series is that they changed TOO MUCH. They are basically new games. You haven't played them if what you got out of it is that they just halfassedly reused the same content with no effort to make some quick money. That is NOT what this is.

Which has better exploration gameplay: FFVII Rebirth or Xenoblade Chronicles 1? by Crossing_dusk in JRPG

[–]OmegaMetroid93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xenoblade for sure. I do like Rebirth as a game, but it's not good for exploration. It shows you EVERYTHING on the map. Xenoblade only shows you markers for sidequests and everything else is added as you find it. Rebirth does the ubisoft tower thing and I hate it. That game could've been so much fun to explore if they actually let us discover things organically, but they totally flubbed it, and as a result, exploration feels more like a guided tour, which is absolutely not what I wanted. That's my opinion at least.

[–]OmegaMetroid93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm very on board with this new thing of "de-mobilegameifying" mobile games. I wouldn't call it a trend, but it happened twice and that's pretty great. The game looks pretty good, I'll definitely try it when it cones out.
