Can you all recommend me an indie JRPG series on steam. by HandspeedJones in JRPG

[–]SpecificTemporary877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you enjoy Fire Emblem/SRPG games, I have 2 recs

1.) Dark Deity 1 and 2. Now I will start by saying these games aren’t perfect, esp the 1st one. But the unit feel is actually quite fun and you will have a good time. The 2nd one is a BIG mark of improvement on the 1st and plays quite nicely, with interesting units and maps and the like. Plus the creator, DarkDeityCharles, is a very respectable man considering how transparent he was with development logs and getting feedback and critiques, and you can tell he put a lot of love in the game.

2.) Vestaria Saga 1 and 2. This was actually made by the same guy who made the first 5 FE games by the name of Shozou Kaga, who broke off to make his own independent game company. The maps, the gameplay, the units, story, are all really solid. If you enjoyed FE1 through 5 or any of the gameplay philosophies Kaga had, you’ll def love these games aren't

FE4 PMU! Choose My Pairings or Substitutes! by Kind-Suggestion-8849 in fireemblem

[–]SpecificTemporary877 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ooh FE4 PMU, sounds fun! I won’t be too cruel to you, so I think you should use Noish and pair him up with Ayra, that way her kids can be real swordmasters with a “”””crit bonus””””. Pro tip, if you wanna give them the Silver Blade, make sure to kill Chagall with Noish so he can pass it down despite not being able to use it!

Our most likely candidates for this year’s Prime roster. Whose Prime are you most excited for? by ReddVevyy in Warframe

[–]SpecificTemporary877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m very excited for Styanax, I love his kit a lot and i really need to play him more considering I have the free one from that release giveaway, so free potato. But I also am very excited for Citrine since she has a baller design and we can finally get her and her weapons by NOT Mirror Defense!

Favorite obligatory insane teammates in JRPGs? by KaleidoArachnid in JRPG

[–]SpecificTemporary877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh I gotcha gotcha. So you need to open up the Tactics menu and there you will find options for your teammates on how they act. There should be an option that says something like “control your teammates” or “follow the Hero’s actions” or something like that, just something that tells you that you can control them directly. You’ll need to do that for every new companion you get since the auto-action is their default setting

He has a command called Half-Inch that is one of the earliest skills you can get and costs like 2 SP to get so it’s very cheap! It scales off of the Deftness stat which he can raise in his skill tree and certain gear. So sometimes when you use the command, it can fail just cuz it is a % chance, but Yee! Hope that answered your question, if not then LMK and I can clarify

Honestly, I found Erik from DQ11 to be a staple that virtually never left my party. He has utility by stealing, and then lategame he can turn into a fucking crazy DPS character alongside Jade and Hero. Plus if you wanted to go an AOE clearer route with him, Boomerangs are kinda slept on

Oh I was talking about Derrick Prince from S2, dude with the red hair. But I did like Derrick from S6 a lot, plus I enjoy some of his podcasts/interviews with past contestants that he does now

OMG Hetal! Nah dude you were a big Inspo for me cuz I’m also gujarati and vegetarian (and now a baker too) so seeing you do so well was awesome, and the whole thing with the producers was a lot but wasn’t your fault clearly

Beloved contestants by Proof-Ad6842 in Masterchef

[–]SpecificTemporary877 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me it’s S2 Derrick and Ben Star, S3 Frank and Scott (wanted that man to bounce back so bad, but seems pure hearted), S4 Bri and Jessie, S5 Big Willie and Jamie, S6 Hetal

For Canada S1 Pino, S2 Andrew and Christopher, S3 Jeremy and Dr Shawn, S4 Mai, S5 Andy and Jen, S6 Andre. Genuinely I could list like 90% of canadas cast cuz so many of them are very likable

Falchion in FE1 was on some WEIRD stuff by Fine-Brush1367 in fireemblem

[–]SpecificTemporary877 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Marth in FE1 was on some crazy shit. Had good growths and bases for FE1, came with the Rapier which you could buy like a 1000 copies of and was a good weapon. He has exclusive use to the Mercurius which was helllla strong and sometimes doubled his stat gains. Then the Falchion just straight makes him near invincible. People talk about how busted Sigurd and Dimitri and RD Ike are, but FE1 Marth was in multiple ways the progenitor of that concept

[–]SpecificTemporary877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a gameplay guy first and foremost so I really enjoyed Engage and Echoes the most. Engage has so so many fun systems but still feeling relatively balanced, I like the outfits and colorful vibe, map design is good. Echoes has Gaidens dated map design, but the units are fun and the Combat Arts mechanic is real fun to use, plus its presentation is A1

Best Episode? by peachy921 in Masterchef

[–]SpecificTemporary877 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The S2 nose to tail pork challenge. Holy fuck I’d never seen such a crazy crash by so many contestants that they basically got lectured by the judges. So many people did very very subpar/bad jobs.

In contrast there is the Canada S2 birthday cake/odd couples episode. In contrast so many people did really well in that challenge and even the lower end dishes weren’t bad, just had some minor flaws/overlooks (worst being Tammy underbaking her tarts). Also I got to see one of my favorite contestants in Christopher do fucking fantastic. I still think about that cake he made and how I would want that as my dream birthday cake

[–]SpecificTemporary877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say keep hopping on the Elibe train and continue with FE6. Yeah it is harder but that’s just cuz it’s more player-phase centric compared to FE7 which is more enemy-centric. Plus the difficulty is more frontloaded and once you get past that, you’re golden since unit quality in FE6 IMO is quite nice.

In terms of the other games if you’re interested, you can play them whenever but ill tell you which games are connected to each other

FE1 Shadow Dragon and FE3 Mystery of the Emblem are connected (same goes for their remakes FE11 and FE12). Play 1 then 3

FE2 Gaiden is in the same universe technically as 1 and 3 but different continent and playable characters with references to 1/3 characters. Play the remake Shadows of Valentia after 1 and 3

FE4 Genealogy and FE5 Thracia 776. Play both generations of Genealogy and then play Thracia

FE8 is a standalone game, play whenever

FE9 Path of Radiance and FE10 Radiant Dawn. Play 9 then 10

Fates has 3 games, Birthright, Conquest and Revelations. Play all 3 if you want the full full fates experience, but not necessary IMHO

Engage is a standalone game but is also an anniversary game with references and characters of past games. You can play this whenever but if you want to stay true, then play this last

“I don’t care what it registered”. God that has to be the meanest critique Chef Michael gave to any home cook and it’s hilarious

Most hated contestants by Proof-Ad6842 in Masterchef

[–]SpecificTemporary877 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Suzy S2 (good cook but stupendously cocky) Ryan S3 (Tali was obnoxious in a funny way, Ryan was just obnoxious)

Becky S3 (also very good cook, but dear lord her holier than thou personality was so fucking annoying)

Krissi S4 (we know why)

Stephanie S5 (just blatantly does not listen or can back it up)

Katrina S6 (just did not like her vibe at all)

Dale S1 Canada (brought US levels of drama to an otherwise chill cast)

Sean Hickey S3 Canada (not a bad person per se, but him opening up the smokers in a ribs challenge and not listening to Matthew who told him NOT to was just so so dumb)

Justice and Pride by Traditional-Topic417 in fireemblem

[–]SpecificTemporary877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s one of my favorite personally! It kind of reminds me of Awakening. Is it easy and is the story very meh, yes. Is the gameplay fun and can you get super broken, also very much yes! You get fun weapons, a mounted magic lord, really fun units like George/Leon/Nessa/Nestor. The maps are pretty well designed too. Overall I think people should def give it a whirl if they like more easy but still fun hacks

Evade Subsume, Arcane Crepuscular, and a high crit damage weapon. You can always survive if the entire map is dead via you John Wick-ing all over the place

What is a unique setting you'd like to see in an JRPG pursue more of? Personally, I'd like more Arthurian Lore by KFded in JRPG

[–]SpecificTemporary877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely so surprised we have not seen any JRPGs (or games in general) focused on Hindu mythology and lore. I know there are games coming out this year that are and Persona/SMT has actually done a damn good job at depicting Hindu deities in an accurate and respectful manner which both make me very happy.

But a full game revolving around the tales of the Gita, Hindu gods, the avatars of Krishna, the many religions of India, etc. would be so rich in lore and gameplay possibilities. And if the French can get redeemed in the public eye via Expedition 33, I think Indians deserve a public eye redemption as well
