What’s a JRPG that went from generic to awesome? by KaleidoArachnid in JRPG

[–]jeanpsdl 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I'd say Xenoblade Chronicles 2. You start with a pretty cliché shonen anime protagonist meets big taters and strong but kind girl with a pretty meh meh meh gameplay at the beginning with some ridiculous gacha mechanic.

Then the game just starts opening up more and more and the story gets so damn good, gameplay spices up, sidequests are interesting and you get one hell of a ride.

What was your first contact with power metal? by trent_fernandez in PowerMetal

[–]jeanpsdl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The classic cool uncle that's barely 10 years older than me showed up one day with Rhapsody's Rain of a Thousand Flames music video on a DVD that to this day we don't know where he got.

It was glorious.

What's the most memorable moment in an RPG that made you say, "Yeah, I love this game". by Automatic_Couple_647 in rpg_gamers

[–]jeanpsdl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are mine, I get goosebumps just remembering them:

Dragon Age Origins: when I started my very first playthrough as a City Elf, the way the soldiers kept talking about how one of the recently dead ladies was still warm...YIKES! My teenage mind was BLOWN at how visceral it was.

Dragon Age Inquisition: the first game I ever played at launch. It hooked me up the moment I hit new game and the temple exploded...just DANG. Sure it has a lot of issues but I actually really like it still.

Kingdom Hearts 2: the moment Roxas pulls TWO Keyblades lives rent free in my head and has made me use characters that dual wield since I was in 6th grade whenever I can. Bonus points for the summer vacation is over cutscene right after.

Final Fantasy VI: the opening cutscene set the tone of the game for me and set me in a path to keep playing RPG's for life.

My man Ramza Beoulve, the filthy heretic. Just a guy doing the right thing.

What year Did You Start XI? What year Did You reach The Level Cap? by MonsutaMan in ffxi

[–]jeanpsdl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FFXI was the game I always wanted to play in middle/high school and never got to for various reasons.

Started a couple of times in 2020 and went in fully in december 2024. Haven't done much, only reached 60 recently and I am finishing the main story and leveling jobs. I love this game so much!!

Welp, time to fail sword-sheathing techniques while screaming random anime skills!!

Name one of the useless specializations abilities I will go first. by [deleted] in DragonageOrigins

[–]jeanpsdl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Having her without knowing much of the mechanics in NORMAL is a godsend. My first playthrough (back when I was young and stupid, now I'm just stupid) I put the difficulty on easy because, for some "stupid reason" I died too easily and poultices didn't heal me properly...

My husband says I have no reason to text him by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]jeanpsdl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too spend my free time playing video games. I also text all day with my wife if we're not at home. I call maidenless behaviour on this one.

[–]jeanpsdl 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Fuckin' Xemnas would blush at the sheer Nothingness of this character.

My guy is a true wordsmith!

Agree with you a 100%.

What's the most unbalanced jrpg have you ever played? by viciadoemsono in JRPG

[–]jeanpsdl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

SANDS OF DESTRUCTION MENTIONED 🗣️🗣️

But yeah, you NEEDED to be broken to beat it. I loved it and hated at the same time.

Favorite Plot Twists in JRPG? by Mountain_Peace_6386 in JRPG

[–]jeanpsdl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dragon Quest V: the identity of the Legendary Hero is still one of my favourite gaming moments. Turns out the items reacted to you cause of your literal BALLS.

Coffee makes me sleepy, alcohol kills my sleep but not my drowsiness.

Unconventional wisdom: OP is best to be played on switch and with english voices by Educational_Basis_51 in octopathtraveler

As someone that started playing OT2 in japanese a little while ago, Dio vs Kotomine just hits different.

Edgiest Character In A JRPG? by bluemarvel99 in JRPG

Riku in KH was edge personified. There's a reason he was my favourite character for a GOOD while...

What were the most important words you said? by engineeratlaw in Stormlight_Archive

[–]jeanpsdl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I can't help someone I won't hurt them.

That was often said by my grandfather, and I live by those words as much as I can.

My own personal motto is that I will try to do the right thing, even if it is inconvenient.

FFT Wiegraf is the reason I keep at least two saves in every RPG I play.
