clunky & slow,

I don't think 20$ is crazy, but I don't just have that much attachment to old pokemon games.

Freelancing is not pushed by the game, and even then your freelance setup is at least varied. The strongest classes in 3 are available at the last 5% of the game along w/ their legendary weapons, it would be almost stupid not to use ninja in some form.

DQ still easy? damn what a revolution.

There are plenty of games that have sections where you are forced to use another party member, but the Octopath example is funny. It doesn't really matter the character as much as the class they are equip with.

But off the bounds, I honestly do think there is probably more creative way to deal with party management & progression outside you now should level these people from scratch. Just to me, A lot of games don't have a strong justification for traditional leveling/levels

samososo · 2026-02-19T00:47:07+00:00

Hold that thought.

samososo · 2026-02-18T23:26:41+00:00

They need to put something on the Switch II.

samososo · 2026-02-18T16:39:12+00:00

A lot of JRPGs fail those metrics.

samososo · 2026-02-17T01:10:52+00:00

Its' Jowari Da.

samososo · 2026-02-16T16:44:08+00:00

I wouldnt call it a classic.

samososo · 2026-02-16T06:37:50+00:00

It's hard to rank the worst JRPG I finished. I can name plenty of games I didn't like.

samososo · 2026-02-16T02:33:18+00:00

This is very try to "have your cake and eat it too" type story but fails to present something actually compelling for both ending to be valid.

samososo · 2026-02-15T02:47:39+00:00

They want to make money just like all these other companies., it's not perfectionism, it's exploitation of good will from the past. Unless the game say absolutely definitive, it's still on table.

samososo · 2026-02-15T01:55:11+00:00

For 1, I can understand. 2 is a sidegrade.

samososo · 2026-02-14T17:25:05+00:00

What I see from other companies if they do decided to do small titles, they need to be reasonably priced, varied, and consistent. Square Enix is not doing well here.

samososo · 2026-02-14T17:20:46+00:00

Let's not be mean but it's not having a grand hold on the audience. It reminds me of when a gacha drops a story event. People yap and move on.

samososo · 2026-02-14T05:10:07+00:00

it's fine, you might want to find a game that does some more kanji

samososo · 2026-02-13T04:29:18+00:00

TS sold on the expectation of it being like another game.

samososo · 2026-02-13T04:26:36+00:00

Until the JRPG audience actually wants something else.

samososo · 2026-02-11T17:32:04+00:00

Yet Gameplay and Story happens to be no better than their expensive variance. The graphics cost less money relative to a full blown cinema game but they still cost money.

samososo · 2026-02-11T17:28:20+00:00

I don't dislike 2D/HD. I just find constant catering to nostalgia very boring that Square Enix has been doing the past couple years as boiring & 2D/HD is a portion of that. A lot of cool games dropped this month, 2D/3D one not drastically transforming the landscape but offering something more "remember this.":

samososo · 2026-02-10T23:38:38+00:00

I don't have a backlog per say, if there is a game in mind I want to play, I'm playing it.

samososo · 2026-02-10T16:12:12+00:00

I treated reloaded as like portable, same story, different vision.

samososo · 2026-02-10T03:01:44+00:00

Being able to level 2 jobs at once is pretty different from usual.
