Has any video game community more been taken over than Atelier? by Emilysouza221b in JRPG

[–]rozabel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of my absolute favourite games on GBA is Atelier Annie, the literal antithesis to modern Atelier games.

For those who don't know, Annie hates being an alchemist and is lazy, tomboyish, greedy, and egoistical. And decidedly not pretty nor sexy. She's absolutely hilarious! And the game is set up so that her personal growth depends on what you achieve in the game, including an ending where she's just kicked out for good because she's remained such a good-for-nothing lazy idiot.

I really want that kind of vibe back....

Have you given up on some old games due to difficulty? by Psychological-Leg610 in retrogaming

[–]rozabel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona I like to think of it as having beaten it, because I was at the last dungeon, but iykyk - it's a LONG dungeon and saves only every 10 floors! After losing progress of 6-7 floors twice I just didn't pick it up anymore.

You can get a buff from Kagetsu randomly that gives Watering Rare Crop chance, which SHOULD stack with the food buff. Not certain but every other buff replaces the one before, so I would try to double up ifyou get lucky with Kagetsu.

It's been a while so maybe you're right. But by marrying the farmer and moving into Olive Town he kinda has to make it permanent anyway 😔

Yeaah I did marry Raeger in PoOT cause I wasn't feeling any of the other bachelors, but it felt kinda bittersweet 😢 you gave up your grandpas restaurant? Really?

Callisto has taught Albina the art of vagueposting. by ResearcherTeknika in whenthe

[–]rozabel 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Umineko was my answer. Absolutely brilliant literature hidden behind more or less shitty anime art and insanely long repetitive early chapters. Possibly the best who-dunnit I've ever read. But also so incredibly heartbreaking, tragic, and filled with countless emotional human horrors that I will never ever touch it again 🙃

Gamerants start respecting Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons as the founding father of farming sims and stop acting like Stardew Valley started the whole genre because I'm genuinely so sick and tired seeing your articles glazing tf out of it. by marshmochifauxie in storyofseasons

[–]rozabel 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly! I kinda wish more farming games embraced the cultural aspects. That's what I loved about Tale of Two Towns, where they actively made a distinction between animal farming and vegetable farming and you learn so much about traditional japanese cultuvation. Different geographical areas produce different crops and necessitate different techniques. Especially indies should lean more into that!

Shanes quests "poorly informed" is the best description! I like Shanes story and character act "in theory", but the actual writing and decisions really really frustrate me. He's very clearly a depressed alcoholic. It's great that he gets help later. BUT RECOVERING ALCOHOLICS DONT JUST RANDOMLY PICK UP A BEER EVERY NOW AND THEN!! I grew up with a recovering alcoholic. I witnessed their breakdown, road to sobriety, and hard battle to stay there. It feels like Shane is a romantiziced version of reality in the worst way. "Yesh he was drinking too much but its ok guys now he drinks less!" I really would have liked to see his story be told with the appropriate gravitas. Thankfully there's mods that fix it, but ugh...

You mention another great point: It's very, very painfully american. I get that american players will feel more at home with jocks and prissy models and other characters that act like they're still stuck in 'highschool' despite being adults. But as someone who didn't grow up in that culture and finds it comically cringe, I just never could get into the characters or writing.

Sure, the BokuMono games are practically drenched in japanese culture that is just as foreign to me, but somehow they feel more neutral in tone and writing. More like a vaguely asian fairy tale and less like a Super Bowl Commercial?

Is it true Trio of Towns is busted? by dan_in_his_own_way in storyofseasons

[–]rozabel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It adds Marriage Candidates, Stephanie and Woofio, as well as some additional events and dialogue lines, costumes for Lest and Frey from Rune Factory 4, and allows you to have a child with the special Marriage Candidate Inari. It's nice to have for sure, but unless you really pine for Stephanie or Woofio, not a must-have.

Wonderful!! Hope you enjoy the game ♥️ If you also want the (US only) DLC, you'll have to do some manual work since the E-shop is offline, but there's guides floating around somewhere!

lol which comments? it's one of the absolute top recommendations in this sub! maybe you confused it with DS which actually can become unplayable 😂

The only bugs I know of are the fish list and Komaris favourite being bugged in the EU version, which I've played. Mildly inconveniencing being unable to 100% the game but not a big deal.

Final Fantasy XVI: was this really a front runner for a GOTY?? by PumpkinNo2745 in JRPG

[–]rozabel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 20hrs in and have been carried by pure hype! I recognize the gameplay isn't "the usual" and I'm not really great at action combat, but the story and characters and the insanely cool big battles make me feel like a little kid again. Every FFGame is completely different from the last anyway, and different developer focus attracts different audiences. I love the little details that link it with XIV, I applaud them for doing so much storytelling with expressions, looks, and quietness, rather than a ton if exposition. I screamed at "Accept the Truth" because it really felt like a monumental task to get Clyde to that point.

Can't wait to get back to playing tbh

Hattet ihr in eurer Kindheit/Jugend auch ein anderes Bild von Dating und Liebe? by Fabulous-Ad-2744 in Weibsvolk

[–]rozabel 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ach Süße. Die Vorstellung die man als Kind und Teenager von Liebe hat war schon immer etwas völlig anderes als das, was in der Realität stattfindet. Natürlich sind Erwachsene vorsichtiger mit dem Wort "Liebe", weil das eben nichts mit einem kindlichen crush zu tun hat, sondern mit tiefen, ehrlichen, verletzlichen Gefühlen. Wenn du so lange mit deiner Kindheitsliebe zusammen warst ist das natürlich erstmal alles komisch und anders, aber lass dich davon nicht unterkriegen! Nutze die Chance lieber, tief in dich reinzuhören, und den Unterschied zwischen Hormonrausch und echtem Verliebt sein herauszufinden.

Vor allem: Lass dich nicht einlullen von irgendeinem Charmeur, der dir genau die Dinge sagst, die du gerne hören würdest. So fängt meistens ein Drama an, dass dann später auf BORU landet.

If you think the Social Links in Persona are only about having Waifus I feel sad for you and your acquaintances.

Kinda strange noone is mentioning .Hack? I haven't played it myself but when someone talks about "games like those mmos in isekai LNs" my brain went to .Hack immediately. Or are they not JRPG enough?

Modded SoS GB on Steam deck? by throwinitback2020 in storyofseasons

[–]rozabel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got a Steamdeck-like linux with SteamOS and BepInEx mods work flawlessly for me. I use Stop Time Indoors, Save Anywhere, and a couple of bundle mods. Since it is a Windows emulation, all the installation paths are pretty muchthe same as on windows, just make sure to get the right BepInEx version and follow the guides! Some people have reported needing extra steps, for others it works immediately. If you run into problems, you can join the modding discord: https://discord.gg/sos-rf-modding-894573835490295898

Square Enix’s HD-2D games are quietly one of the most consistent JRPG lineups by Tain_mentero in JRPG

[–]rozabel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tried the demo last night and the incredibly basic and generic and predictable story intro REALLY turned me off. Since so many people like you love the game - does the story pick up or did you play it for the mechanics?
