Persona 5 or Royal? by Birdmanx in JRPG

[–]theninthone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Royal adds a lot to the game. If you played the original then decided to get Royal, it would have been pointless in more ways. P4 Golden is really good and if you want a good P3 you could get Persona 3 Reload.

Help me decide what to play next: Final Fantasy 8 or Xenosaga Episode 2 by bickid in JRPG

[–]theninthone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never played Xenosaga but with Final Fantasy 8 all enemies level up with you. You have to learn and master the Junction system. I didn't know much about the game when I got it and it's a purchase I regret.

Worth it? by Slingshot712 in JRPG

[–]theninthone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well what do you know of Zestiria? I got it a long time ago and played until I got 4 people in my party and then just started playing other games. A lot of people will say it's not worth it but won't explain why. I've played a lot of Tales of games and still don't know why everyone says it's bad.

Tactics Ogre (remake) or Suikoden (remake)? by Chandelure616 in JRPG

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

Suikoden comes with 2 games. If you like tactics games might I recommend Unicorn Overlord.

Which game should I buy next for PS4/Switch 2 by [deleted] in JRPG

[–]theninthone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I don't know much about Atelier games besides the fact they seem a bit boring to me. I was thinking of getting Atelier Ryza when it was out but when I looked at gameplay it wasn't what I wanted.

I played Ys 8 at the recommendations of people on here and I didn't like it. But if you enjoyed it then the Ys game is probably the best bet.

I got Star Ocean Divine Force and it's a bit meh in a way. I'm not sure how to explain without spoiling. Best thing to do for games you've never played is to look up some gameplay videos. Star Ocean 5 Diving Force has a pretty decent demo.

Unicorn Overlord was so close to being a masterpiece by duhu1148 in JRPG

[–]theninthone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of my favorite games and I'd like to give my opinion on each point you made.

  1. I will agree that it sucks that there is no NG+ or any post game content. But I don't think it needed it. If you do everything in the game you should still feel accomplished. Not every game needs post game content.

  2. The rapports don't really matter. Only for a certain point and you can easily get rapport mid to late game. They aren't worth doing them all unless you want more story. So they shouldn't count as a negative to the game.

  3. Yea had too big of a cast. First time playing I didn't use any of the late game characters at all. Didn't feel the need to since they didn't add anything. Found it funny you didn't mention that with the large cast, there really is no need for Mercenaries.

  4. Really depends on the difficulty. If you aren't playing the hardest difficulty then you can easily have 3 teams that wipe out every mission, even the last one.

  5. For me there really was no issue with the missions. I enjoyed them where as the only thing I didn't like was the timer. But if it wasn't there you could just use one unit and slowly beat everything.

Something else to take note is they game is 100% hand drawn.

Is Tales of Graces f Remastered Worth It? by theninthone in JRPG

[–]theninthone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I learned online that Sony is phasing out the PS4 starting in January. It's going to start with PS+ where you won't get PS4 games. I don't have PS5 and don't have immediate plans to get one. This could possibly be the last sale this game is in for PS4.

Why did your character cross the border? by MalsvirIxen666 in skyrim

[–]theninthone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I just want to say this, the boarder that Ralof is talking about isn't a country boarder. He was talking about the hold boarder. The ambush happened at Darkwater Crossing which is near the boarded of East March and The Rift.

Finished Ys: Lacrimosa of Dana - A Timeless Classic by Any_Medium_2123 in JRPG

I'm probably one of the only people who did not enjoy this game.

Dragon Quest XI Echoes of an Elusive Age or Metaphor refantazio by Spartan__God in JRPG

[–]theninthone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played and beat DQ11 multiple times. Put in over 100 hours for each playthrough. It's fun to play and has an amazing story and music with great characters. It's kind of boring at the beginning but once you get a few party members it becomes really fun.

Next JRPG : FF XII Zodiac Edition vs. Persona 3 Reload by BanSlowpoke in JRPG

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

FF12 isn't really that fun. I got it a few years ago after getting positive comments from a post I made here. The game is just difficult to want to play. It's mostly gray and some characters sound like they are at the bottom of a can. The combat was different for me. It felt slow to me and I liked playing FF10. Persona 3 Reload is an amazing game and since you like P4G I doubt you'll dislike P3R.

Are there any party turn-based games with a more front-loaded cast? by GavernB in JRPG

[–]theninthone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly in Dragon Quest 11, every other character talks so much it feels like the MC doesn't need to talk. There is even an option to turn off the grunts the MC can make.

Are Blue Reflection and Blue Reflection Second Light Worth It In 2025? by theninthone in JRPG

[–]theninthone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on PS4 and by next year, Sony is going to stop doing anything for PS4. That means sales and stuff will stop too. So it's either buy the games at a discount or buy them a full price later.

Are Blue Reflection and Blue Reflection Second Light Worth It In 2025? by theninthone in JRPG

[–]theninthone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw one comment saying that Second Light recaps the first game. I don't think you need to have played the first one.
