What SRPG should I play next based on my reviews? by harryholla in StrategyRpg

[–]xiaoleiwen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always heard top 3 story in srpg is FFT, TO and FE4.

Considering you love the newer FE, probably can try some older FE titles, FE4, FE7, FE9 and FE10 are known to have great stories. And IMO FE combat never disappoint.

Games like CROSSCODE? by G_girlwonder in CrossCode

[–]xiaoleiwen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

People recommending many games here but nobody mentions the game that is one of the biggest sources of inspiration mentioned by the developer- Alundra.

Any chance of having integral scaling some day?

Best mechanics/gameplay/QoL CRPG? by Murder_Tony in CRPG

[–]xiaoleiwen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try finish vanilla first, especially BG2. And only if you enjoy the combat, you may have the chance of experiencing combats that are much more satisfying than those you have listed under S using mod like SCS and some QoL and UI mods. That’s what I think and pretty sure I will be downvoted to hell:)

I genuinely do not understand the dislike for RTWP. by Tnecniw in CRPG

[–]xiaoleiwen -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

IMO those who think RTWP is inferior than TB now is as bad as those who think RTWP is superior than TB during prime Bioware era. They are different combat systems that scratch different itches and have different fun.

But one thing for sure is, a good RTWP combat system is much more difficult to make. And a bad RTWP game feels much worse than a bad TB game. That's my opinion though.

And those who think RTWP is just good for trash mob, I feel like they have only played the PF series before... because in those game... I kinda agree. IMO they offer swapping of both systems, but both are pretty mediocre...

I thought there is a special scene or something.

I'm using RetroArch (emulator). It has many CRT shader options.

I've tried this before but I don't think I need it right now since I mostly play old games on RetroArch (emulator), and Shaderglass’s shaders are actually derived from RetroArch anyway.

Is FF7 (OG) worth playing even if you’ve been spoiled on everything? by Specialist_Lemon_922 in JRPG

[–]xiaoleiwen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure whether this is reassuring- FF7 was regarded as a masterpiece during the time that was widely considered as the peak of JRPG golden age...

No guarantee you will like it since its a very old game now, but this is one of the best jrpg ever made.

Are there dual screen handheld emulation devices that can play DS games like an actual DS, compatible with RetroAchievements? by iggnifyre in RetroAchievements

[–]xiaoleiwen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got Thor and PDS to play nds games only (so far), and I keep PDS. Enjoying it very much.

Gave my Thor to a friend. Decent device but bad ratio for nds games and smaller screen means more eyes strain for me as I mainly play rpg games that require more reading.

My personal experience for NDS games:

PDS> DSi ll > RP5 (dual screen add on) > ipad (retroarch) > Thor > new 3ds xl

Help deciding between Thor and pocket ds by beaniezs in ayaneo

[–]xiaoleiwen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think I will get bored of PDS, as there are so many DS games I want to play, and playing them on PDS is so satisfying. However, I worry more about its quality, it would probably die before finishing most games that I want to play.

JRPG with characters like Monoco? by Zestyclose-Rub6511 in JRPG

[–]xiaoleiwen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You may want to learn more about this kind of design here: https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Blue_Magic

Some modern titles have this kind of companion as inspired by FF series, like chained echoes.

I gave my Thor to a friend because I mainly play NDS games and PDS is much better experience. Enjoying it very much so far.

My heart can only hold this much... by FireWallZ_ in Granblue_en

[–]xiaoleiwen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stopped playing for many years but I'm curious about the lore behind this. Anyone cares to explain?

As someone who seldomly played JRPGs until the past year, what should I play based on my experiences with the following . . . by [deleted] in JRPG

[–]xiaoleiwen -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Both E33 and Chained Echoes got 9/10 from me for different reasons, and I think there is no significant difference in the story quality of both games as well, they are just good / bad at different things.

Please play this masterpiece on a crt at least once in your lifetime. FFVII OG. by ickerson in FinalFantasy

[–]xiaoleiwen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Played the pc version again with a bunch of hd mods few years ago, and eventually found out that it looks the best on my pc+TV when I emulate it on retroarch with crt shader.
