I just want a comfy little RPG, nothing fancy. Not a big giant massive world and fancy graphics like Witcher 3. Just a cozy little RPG with a comfy world. Isn't there anything like that?

I wish more rpgs went for smaller scale settings and conflicts.

I don't know, Legend of Mana?

funny enough, the first Witcher game has that, in a kind of way

Gothic?

Witcher 1 and 2

Not OP, but can confirm the beginning chapters do have a comfy feeling somewhat, as everyone knows one another and discuss each other. I dropped the game on Ch.2 though, fuck the swamp on hardest difficulty.

But aren't there modern games like that anymore? What happened to RPGs?

Gothic 2 NoTR

>finally finish the chapter 2
>so burned up, I never continued after chapter 3

too bad the city is really comfy

There's I am Setsuna, but while it feels comfy, it ain't a good game

No need to tell me about it, Gothic 2 is my favorite video game of all time.

>But aren't there modern games like that anymore?
No

Any Fable game?

>Gothic fags

>There's I am Setsuna, but while it feels comfy, it ain't a good game
It looks comfy af, why is it bad?

Such a shame.

I haven't played, but I've heard that story is kinda dull, soundtrack is repetitive as fuck and kills your interest since it's only piano, and gameplay is ok-ish

If you wanna try, pirate first. Game didn't do so well in sales, so that's a warning sign

Quest for Glory.

monster girl quest

ni no kuni is the only game I can think of that fits. if you like ghibli, play it. if you like pokemon, play it. if you like feeling like you when you were a little kid and first getting into vidya, play it. nothing has made me feel the way this game made me feel. definitely a game for kids so it's kind of easy and there's a lot of spoonfeeding, but for this game i'll let it slide. super fucking cozy.

Comfy doesn't mean anything in this context

You'd be much better off using actually descriptive words that summarize what you're looking for, since you are essentially failing to communicate

why the fuck can't they rerelease this for PS4 already
I don't have a PS3 and I'm never going to get one

you gotta wait for the sequel then. and be damn glad there is one.

My nigger

I was literally playing this earlier today. Afraid to take the training wheels off and finally start questing beyond new sorpigal.
I never done that before.

i think comfy has a lot of meaning in this context, but it's highly subjective. while i agree that more descriptive adjectives would be useful, it made one game pop into my head immediately.

also nice trips

Been playing FFIX recently. The towns are pretty damn comfy.

Too bad this combat system is utter shit

Head to castle ironfist and train all your dudes in bow skill. Also look around for horseshoes at stables and make sure to take some basic notes of quests because the auto notes can be really vague sometimes.

There's a sequel?? Yet another reason for me to finally buy a PS4. Stacking up to be a pretty good console for me. Hope it does for me what the first one did because like I said, that game did things to my soul. It's a game I had been saying I wanted since pokemon gen 1 came out and they fucking nailed it.

I tried to keep it vague on purpose. Comfy can mean a lot of things to a lot of people, I didn't want to exclude games I could miss if I narrowed down what I was looking for. I've been making threads over the past week with very specific descriptions of what I was looking for but I never got past one or two replies that couldn't recommend me any game so I'm just gonna make it very vague and filter through the suggestions instead.

Runescape

Oldschool, obviously

witcher 1/2 friend

Popolocrois is the comfiest

There is a sequel! Starring this lovely young boy!

What platforms do you have? If you were the user that doesn't have a PS3 that will narrow down my suggestions quite a bit but if you do I might have a couple others, I'm gonna look through my stack of games I traded my other consoles for heroin so I only have a few games left for things that aren't the PS3

>but it's highly subjective
The semantic meaning of words should not be subjective. The feelings they convey are.

The problem with comfy in this context is everyone has some different idea of what it means, which makes it effectively meaningless.

If you ask people to recommend you what games are fun, or sad, or scary, you'll get a ton of different suggestions -- not because anyone disagrees on what fun, sad or scary mean, but because they're affected differently

If you ask people to give you "comfy" games, you'll get a ton of different games because no one really knows what the fuck it's supposed to mean. Someone thinks Tony Hawk is comfy for instance. Someone else thinks Minecraft is. I'm supposed to look at these games and figure out what's similar? No, fuck you, and fuck everyone in this thread and every thread ever like it.

You need a better word. You are butchering the English language by doing this.

Oh baby you know i got them bow skills already. I've cleared out sorpigal(except places water walking/fly is required) and my team is decently armed.
afraid to spend money on gear at all, since skills and spells cost so fucking much.
I also know the horseshoe tip. Used to watch my parents play this game way back, and myself "played" it as a kid. Basically just fucked around in sorpigal or copied a save from them and played around that way.
Probably what's compounding my fear. I'll remember to take notes tho, thats good. Already have potion combos written down from online. Do you happen to know how to turn the music in the game back on if you are using the greyface patch?

Only PC, unfortunately.

its no longer on sale but im enjoying dragons dogma

honorable mention: soul bringer

I do actually, just copy all .mp3 files from your "Sounds" folder into a new "Music" folder and the music will work again. There's a HoMM/M&M general on /vr/ with a pastebin full of tips you could check out here

Look at you, figuring out how languages work all by yourself!

Been doing some googling, I am super fucking hype. Ni No Kuni is the only game I have ever paid $60 for and the only game I have ever bought on release day, looks like the sequel will be the second or third depending on release date. Do we have one yet?

Been replaying older pokemon games, gives a nice comfy feel

These are excellent suggestions. I would also recommend Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, if you have a controller. THe world is semi-large but feels well contained. Tho, it could use some shrinking.

Maximum comfy if you find yourself giving into its very weird charm and melodrama. Hard not to crush on your pawn (In a purely platonic way of course)

You are a kind and sweet soul and I hope you ascend high in heaven, hosannah.

Also worth mentioning that pastebin has a link to all the NWC M&M/HoMM games.

Morrowind

>The problem with comfy in this context is everyone has some different idea of what it means
That's exactly why I used it. A lot of things can be comfy, doesn't mean I have to confine myself to only liking one sort of "comfy". So I have more chances of finding something I like than looking for something specific and having the thread disappear into the archive with 0 replies because nobody has any suggestions for me.

>If you ask people to give you "comfy" games, you'll get a ton of different games because no one really knows what the fuck it's supposed to mean. Someone thinks Tony Hawk is comfy for instance.
I didn't ask for comfy games, I asked for comfy RPGs. That's narrowing it down enough for me and I'll look at the recs and see if there's anything I like.

>No, fuck you, and fuck everyone in this thread and every thread ever like it.
But I guess you're just some butthurt autist anyway so what gives.

Did they ramp up the difficulty with a patch? I steam rolled that game in the highest difficulty.

Mostly because I kept chugging potions and use the blade oils. I never even used signs except the trap sign for novelty.

Dwarf Fortress can be pretty comfy for some people. I don't have a PC that can run anything (really struggles with that way before it should) but I'd check that out maybe, /dfg/ has some helpful links if you want to go that route. I can't really help you with PC specific games, only ones you'd have to emulate and even there I'm coming up short.

Though, pic related comes to mind. Comfy in some regards, unsettling in others. Myst is potentially even comfier. Wouldn't call it an RPG though.

I wouldn't say morrowind is comfy aside from nostalgia (for me) and maybe oldness(again, my opinion). Its meant to feel like a really alien, sometimes harsh, world.
Vvardenfell is also just kinda fucking big, especially with the limited fast travel.
Morrowind is supremely comfy if you give yourself to it, but i would definitely not say it is inviting.

Agree with this, the little hamlets in the unforgiving wilderness are pretty comfy. Places like hla oad are nice.

Jeremy Soule's music is pretty comfy. Unfortunately it all starts to blur when you play more than one game composed by him.

Pillars of Eternity

Maybe a long shot here but check out Stardew Valley

this desu

WHY ISN'T THERE A HARVEST MOON GAME LIKE GAME EXCEPT TAKES PLACE IN A FANTASY OR REALISTIC MEDIEVAL TIME!! FUCK

The Witcher 3 on the easiest difficulty.

You're kidding, right? The Rune Factory series?

sorry, forgot to mention modern and non handheld

Dark cloud 2 was on sale for ps4 recently, it's pretty comfy

Yes and double yes. I always get blue balled by the Pirates of The Caribbean theme song. I think Soule's best version of the main theme is morrowind, but his idle/town type shit is best in oblivion.
Also I've always been a balmora bitch. Ald Ruhn(and fellow crabshell towns) run a close second.

There is that.


There is so much of that.

Fantasy Life on 3DS and Rune Factory to name a few.

Dragon Quest Builders.

see

If by modern you mean with 3D graphics, it's kinda weird that you would mention Harvest Moon.

If by modern you mean "came out recently," Rune Factory 4 is excellent and came out in 2013...

and isn't all DS stuff perfectly emulateable?

If you want a good experience, you can't really go wrong. If you want a piece of software that makes you feel like you have a big strong computer then don't ask for a specific gaming experience :^) I dunno

>to name a few

You mean the only. I wish more people would take a crack at the harvest moon formula and on PC.
The story of seasons/rune factory teams continually stick to clunky shit mechanics and concerned ape proves that translated japs are shit a character building.

Radiata Stories for PS2 is the definition of comfy.

It would be deemed shit and boring with only 20 people playing it, 15 of whom just pirated it.

You better start getting used to Atelier, muchacho.

Your last sentence is fascinating, I can almost completely tell what you're saying

Wait, it was just a lack of research on my part. Concerned Ape are the developers of Stardew Valley...

Well, that's your opinion. There are types of character building for everyone

lmao. ConcernedApe is the StardewValley dev. Story of Seasons is what Harvest Moon series is 'officially' called now.
Apparently something happened with Natsume's license on it? Not sure.
And while I hope its something lost in translation, the writing for all the characters in those games is some really terrible moeshit at best, and at worst bland and uninspired.
Each game tends to have the same archetypes played over and over and over again forever.

Likely a lot is lost in translation if NintendoTreehouse is anything to go by for localization standards.

I of course say this as someone who has played nearly every single runefactory and harvest moon game there is, and ranks them as one of maybe top five favorite series.
StardewValley opened up a lot of faults in the genre to me(despite have a fair few flaws itself)

Ni No Kuni.

The Zelda games are pretty much RPGs so just pick any one you want

Any Fallout game. [Spoiler]Including the Bethesda ones. [/spoiler]

> comfy

Etrian Odyssey

youtube.com/watch?v=eTU-jTmWr-k&list=PL40BC111AA2B81B61&index=4

Enderal has been pretty comf so far

Load up an emulator and play Radiata Stories.
It's exactly what you want, trust me.

hi

Risen takes place entirely on an island.

The Bard's Tale. Not the new(er) third-person one.

The fable series. Probably 2

Oh yeah, I heard about that, no problem. Natsume always published Marvelous's games in North America, but they had some kind of falling out recently and Natsume kept the name everyone recognizes here while the real developers were forced to rename (back to the original name, Bokujou Monogatari, but translated to English, Story of Seasons) and publish with XSEED instead.

Pff, just because it's been effective escapism for me, I went slightly on the defensive when you criticized Japanese character building in these games. It's easier to admit if I know you're speaking from a position of expertise and affection, but yeah, average Japanese writing can be as unimaginative and shitty as average anything else. The usual tropes with only the slightest twists for eternity! It does feel that way sometimes.

Maybe I should get over my prejudices against Western devs give SV a try, if it really provides a different point of view and highlights faults I wouldn't notice staying on one side of the pond. Thanks for setting an example.

youtu.be/fUs2_7SYAI8

>etrian odyssey
>comfy
no

Any game where a quick google image search gives me more pics of the loli girls than the actual game is instantly out, sorry.
Nothing against lolis, but I want comfy, not fappy.

M&B is comfy/10 if you just travel around with a loyal band of mercenaries ransoming sea raiders

It wasn't a falling out; Xseed was publishing Marvelous stuff, Rune Factory games, from the start, and Marvelous purchased Xseed at some point so it made sense to have them publish all their stuff, but they still didn't have the rights to the Harvest Moon name in NA.


XSEED JKS, Inc. Becomes Marvelous USA, Inc.
marvelous-usa.com/content/Announcements-release.html

WAS CREATING A OLDMAN WARBAND CHARACTER RIGHT NOW BRO. YOU READ IT RIGHT

It's not particularly fappy. You can make a party of non-lolis if you choose.

I recently started playing CrossCode, it's pretty fun.

Hey no problem friend. SV is deffo worth it, and the dev is a fuckin stand up guy.
Harvest moon makes it so easy to find a waifu when they just keep cloning popurri

until you die and are dragged around by raiders for lightyears, over and over and over again
why did I up any of the difficulty

why cant i get good

Can you emulate 3DS titles yet? IIRC Ni No Kuni had a 3DS release that was slightly different than the PS3 release. I'm stuck on finding a way for you to play it.

Secret of Mana also looks comfy but I haven't played it but I know that's emulatable, it's high on my list of stuff to play when I travel and only have my tablet. FFXII is also very comfy to me (and also my favorite game of all time) but it does have a huge world and it definitely isn't for everyone.

My nugger

ESO

I just did this too and got the same. It's unfortunate, Etrian Odyssey is a legitimately good series.

Atelier

Suikoden has conflicts of very small scale.

Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning. Even in Hard it's comfy. Else it's too easy.

Does Hard require at least some effort?
