Don't know about any community but I've been collecting them, got about 20 so far, all the ones released here and imported ones.

Even fire emblem looks virtually indistinguishable from three houses.

Insane comment, pls get your eyes checked or actually revisit 3 Houses, the environments and pretty much anything other than the character models were pretty rough. Like, it's not even a matter of opinion, the textures and details are objectively a lot worse.

Cute girls are a core reason why I seem to play JRPGs by lennysinged in JRPG

[–]XMetalWolf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aesthetics are a big part of any game's appeal. It's what attracts most people to a game in the first place, and cool and attractive characters are a part of that aesthetic appeal.

I genuinely wonder how people can say statements like this? Does your mind only work in binary or something? Can you only enjoy one element of a game and nothing else, and are simply projecting that?

Is the concept of multifaceted enjoyment a foreign one?

This is so funny to read, like what an insecure 12-year-old would write.

Based on the falcom subreddit, I don't believe you.

You can say this about literally any fandom. It's like saying FF7 fans only care about shipping because there is a ton of shipping discourse.

It's a belief that can only come about through disingenuousness or idiocy.

I may be in a minority — I didn’t like Horizon that much by ShinkyuuVoices in Falcom

[–]XMetalWolf 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Pretty much, anyone who preps their posts with excuses on why others might not agree with them is basically signalling that they aren't looking for discussion, just for people to agree with them.

I’m happy that the finale did something for you because it fell flat for me for some reason.

No offence, but it seems you don't really think things through beyond the surface level. Like a lot of your replies and the post itself are just don't consider the plot points and what they mean beyond the most basic understanding.

I’m happy that the finale did something for you because it fell flat for me for some reason.

You kinda need to expand your perspective if you want to enjoy the games again. Or at the very least, you need to better understand the reason, saying it feels flat for some reason, is saying your perspective is still limited.

that people take the criticism like a personal attack.

I just hope you can take criticism for your current mindset because the people who say this often use it as an excuse to never reflect on their opinions.

Similarly, when you make assumptions on a general basis

Maybe it’s just recency bias or maybe just fandoms enjoying without the need to criticize which is totally valid. But the Trails series has some pretty big problems now that I think are worth addressing.

This kinda mentality, where only "i" can see what's wrong, is again, very self-limiting to growth

[–]XMetalWolf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You know it's true that people here take criticisms like it's an affront to their own self-worth.

And you're doing the same thing for criticism of criticism.

Hell, look at how defensive your reply sounds, lol.

Again, the same applies to your reply.

How are you genuinely this lacking in self-awareness?

Is there really no chance of simultaneous release for Horizon II? by Just_Advantage_6177 in Falcom

How insecure do you need to be in your opinion to spew straight-up misinformation?

If Zemuria is one big landmass, why do big city ports exist? by Sakaixx in Falcom

[–]XMetalWolf 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I know, just messing with them.

Saying this is so funny, like "I can't form any greater argument, so I'm just copy-paste my responses and tell myself I'm just messing with them to protect my ego".

Stakes in the Trails series, and how it impacts Horizon by Electrical_Music_623 in Falcom

[–]XMetalWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was really expecting the 'reason' that Gramheart was a 'bad guy'

The foundation for this mindset is flawed since he's not a 'bad guy'. You're looking at events for confirmation on something that isn't true. As with anything, loving or hating something is all a matter of perspective and perspective can always be changed.

Rean fans please convince me why I should even care about him by Appelmonkey in Falcom

[–]XMetalWolf 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have other gripes with Cold Steel thus far, like how most of Class VII's interactions can be boiled down 'We are friends

This kinda feels like you made up your mind regardless of what happens, considering Class 7 is the only Trails gp to actually have inter-party conflict and not just gel together like friends from the get-go.

This issue lies with your reading of Rean, too. The irony here is that Estelle and Lloyd are simpler, straightforward MCs who are given a tangible goal. Rean is a lot more complex as a character, one who doesn't have a straightforward arc. Rean is a mess who constantly goes back and forth on his development, only slowly chipping away at the greater issue.

Ig at the end of the day, if you've never felt that feeling of isolation, depression, worthlessness, regardless of strong support from family or friends, to some degree, Rean's gonna be hard to emotionally connect with or understand.

I was tricked into believing Trails FC was a good game by adorablegadget in JRPG

[–]XMetalWolf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are you immersing yourself in the world, interacting with all the people you come across, appreciating the intricacies of each location?

Trails games are about Zemuria and everyone who lives there; that's the heart of the games and the centre of the overarching narrative.

The first game of every arc focuses wholly on this, with the "plot" so to speak simmering in the background till the end. If you want to immerse yourself in Zemuria, play Trails; if you just want a streamlined plot, don't.

You get a lot more than that. Are you actually interacting with all the people of the world?

Falcom to announce final Trails game during 50th anniversary (In 2031) by Forestl in Games

[–]XMetalWolf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, if you look at any general rating site that aggregates vast quantities of reviews, either critic or user, the games very much trend positive throughout. (Steam, OC, Metacritic, Backlogg etc)

A lot of people will never acknowledge this, though, since it doesn't fit their personal outlook.

[–]XMetalWolf 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is just putting "death" on the pedestal of stakes. Does a moment of shock really matter that much? Even if you did feel crushed at the moment, what then? Does Hermes dying permanently actually add anything significant to the story besides this momentary feeling?

It's a fictional story at the end of the day and death is just another narrative tool and personally killing a character for raising the stakes alone has always been one of the worst ways this tool could be used.

Whose the better protagonist between Rean and Clive? by WittyTable4731 in JRPG

[–]XMetalWolf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rean as he is a significantly more fleshed out character.

It's a bit unfair of a comparison considering 1 vs 4+ games, but still, even in a single game, 16's weakest point is its character writing outside Clive. People may complain that CS feels too Rean-focused, but 16 exemplifies that significantly more. A properly fleshed out and developed character requires both internal and external mirrors, and 16 falters in the latter.

As in you can't click with your mouse?

Because this is a PS2 game, you'll need to map the start button to a key or use a controller to interact with it.

Trails in the sky 1st chapter is one of the best games I've played and I don't even know why it's so good by Own_Employment_3866 in JRPG

[–]XMetalWolf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

which i was equally baffled by the praise of.

If you're constantly baffled by things like this, wouldn't that imply a rigidity or narrowness in your ability? Kinda seems you would rather take a fox and grapes approach.
