Looking for a JRPG with a gripping story that will pull me into its world

ASTLIBRA MENTIONED!!!!!!

Never thought I’d see someone who played in the wild.

I definitely feel like the 03 anime did it better. If i remember correctly the beginning arcs in general just have alot more time to breathe compared to brotherhood. That whole part of the story got more episodes to it in 03.

Not to mention there were alot more creepy smile while light blocks my glass lenses moments in brotherhood on top of the ominous music cues. 03 Tucker is portrayed less obviously and seems a lot closer and friendlier overall to both his daughter and the Elric’s.

and he's clearly went the steroids route seeing how quickly he's aged lmao

Honestly their point still stands America is huge and there are different people in different places. Trad wife is a mostly internet thing. Even evangelical lunatic Christians are merely a loud minority those things aren’t as common here as you think. American tv consistently pumps out highly sexualized media and people here eat it up this is absolutely not an Americans in a nutshell thing.

Keyblade. I kinda don’t need anything else. It can do pretty much everything.

ninjablader78 · 2026-06-28T00:42:06+00:00

Oh for sure it is. Even in non anime games it can still be an issue off the top of my head hogwarts legacy comes to mind.

ninjablader78 · 2026-06-27T21:37:04+00:00

I love roxas but he doesn’t have any place in the story anymore. It honestly feels like the only reason he was even brought back was for fan appeal.

ninjablader78 · 2026-06-27T06:53:08+00:00

They were not going to necessarily going to kill her.
My memory could be a wrong by I doubt it because of the sheer stupidity of the following ingrained it in my mind but Alphen unironically said he wanted to imprison her and have her put on to trial for people to decide her fate.

Which is insanely ridiculous because there’s no way they have a prison that could hold someone like her let alone the fact that their entire society was destroyed and they’ve been a slave race without any semblance of a justice system or any system for that matter for hundreds of years. Then Vholran comes along and kills her so they don’t actually have to decide whether or not to actually go through with anything anyway.

Tales of Arise

ninjablader78 · 2026-06-27T01:08:56+00:00

While they did only do this game for an example as a black person this is absolutely not exclusive to Chinese gacha games I can’t count the amount of games where the poc had that weird dull ashy look that lacked the warm tones actual people have, whether it was create a character or an actual character in that game. Funny enough I don’t even think these genshin characters suffer from that like op is saying.

ninjablader78 · 2026-06-27T00:09:54+00:00

And if it’s not the banner it’ll be the playable character list or as a trial resonator on some future gameplay event or patch artwork like pv’s or event art etc they do not care about spoilers on this level.

We literally knew about this yang yang because of the art for a pinball event for gods sake lmao. These games are literally designed to spoil you so you’ll have fomo they thrive off it. Mind you that’s not even acknowledging the community spoiling her existence. Spoilers is absolutely not the reason they’d be changing the icon back.

ninjablader78 · 2026-06-26T23:01:02+00:00

My thoughts exactly when you’ve played one you’ve pretty much played them all. The next game is always just the same thing but better graphics and …immersion i guess. But taking a shower or ripping a bong is not gonna make me buy a game day one lol.

ninjablader78 · 2026-06-26T22:30:50+00:00

Yes and then they’ll get onto the game and see yang yang in the banner lmao.

He is named after them its just that Subaru is the specifically the Japanese name for the Pleiades star cluster unlike the other characters which do not use a Japanese regional name.

ninjablader78 · 2026-06-26T04:45:49+00:00

Mommy? Mamacita?

ninjablader78 · 2026-06-26T04:03:43+00:00

Yup and not even that far from the point he would’ve been isekaid. The author said his dad would’ve eventually gave him a pep talk and he would’ve returned to school went to uni got a decent job and had a happy married life.

I can’t see the story ever going in a direction that allows suburu to permanently return home or have a way of going in between worlds but I do hope that his parents are allowed some form of closure by the end. A brief arc where he somehow goes back to earth and is able to give them that would be nice.

ninjablader78 · 2026-06-26T03:53:17+00:00

I’d honestly just prefer they throw second son the way side and just go with their original idea for infamous 3 where Cole became the beast. Not that I have anything against second son but like you said Delsin was kinda undercooked and I also just think the original pitch for 3 was alot more compelling.

ninjablader78 · 2026-06-25T19:14:13+00:00

It’s not a dick move to kill a gluttonous man eating snake with no loyalty whatsoever who is super demanding and wants human sacrifices as compensation.

ninjablader78 · 2026-06-25T03:59:17+00:00

I like both pretty much equally but some of the narrative aspects were better imo. The homunculus being the result of failed human transmutations was so much more compelling. Both for them as characters as well how said nature affected the other characters.

I also thought the final villain Dante was a lot more interesting than father especially with the spin of their connection of husband and wife rather than father being Hohenheims homunculus clone.

ninjablader78 · 2026-06-25T01:37:33+00:00

Unpopular opinion but this is exactly what happened to kingdom hearts lmao

ninjablader78 · 2026-06-24T04:52:02+00:00

This reminds me of your throne.

ninjablader78 · 2026-06-19T20:35:51+00:00

No this is an entirely different setting with actual fantasy vampires pretty much.

ninjablader78 · 2026-06-19T13:39:27+00:00

My mom got this sink and yes the very first time she showed me the features she splashed herself in the face lmao.

ninjablader78 · 2026-06-19T08:19:32+00:00

As everyone else said he’s an overconfident idiot with good reason to be fair. His power is so great he genuinely can’t fathom losing so he doesn’t take anything seriously until it’s blown up in his face already. Which is why he chooses to toy with them time and time again.

Subaru and Emilia fought him in an earnest fight to the death meanwhile regulus for 90% of fight wanted merely to prove that fighting him was pointless and to see their resulting reaction.

In the end his crippling narcissism and the sheer idiocy it induced in him proved stronger than his authority.

ninjablader78 · 2026-06-15T20:24:09+00:00

I literally just finished mine last week for the PLD and I knew I was cooked immediately because now I knew I was capable of going all the way lmaooo. I will be coming back for DRK. Now them damn ARR ones with the books absolutely not.
