I don't know if ever but in the last decade definitely

>Is this the best JRPG ever?
No, this is.

...

>8 hour tutorial

no thanks

I made several YouTube videos shitting on it.
I feel as if it's universal praise is more of a means to shit on NOA than due to any of the game's merits.

Seriously though, the pacing and characters in this are terrible.

It was mediocre at best.

>I made several YouTube videos shitting on it.
Gonna need a link to your YouTube channel.

>the pacing and characters in this are terrible.
This is the exact opposite of how I feel about the entire story/cast.
I hope your bananas are all brown and mushy and you lose all interest in eating them.

there is no statement more indicative of someone not having played a game than this, especially a praised/popular one

>responding to cody

hello r*ddit newfag

isn't the main character named "shulk" or something? giving someone an awful, malphonic name automatically precludes it from GOAT type status

it doesn't matter though, the GOAT is probably Chrono Trigger even though it isn't my GOAT. It's most universally considered GOAT by highest number of people with generally valid opinions.

I'd say FF3 honestly but

Can't wait for Xenoblade 2 to be unable to live up to the masterpiece the first one was.

I played the game for 170 hours. At the time I enjoyed it but in retrospect it doesn't hold up, which is why I dropped my second playthrough.

>reconizing namefags is oldfag-core now
Ayyyyy lmao

How is the 3DS version?

worst way to play it but serviceable if you have no other way

It's already better by virtue of not having Shimomura on the music team.

>implying the first one didn't have an amazing soundtrack

is it even the best JRPG in its own franchise? haven't played this but it honestly doesn't seem to live up to xenogears based on many reactions calling the story far inferior

>Glorified VN
Fuck off

It did and even though she only did 11 songs this is one of the worst JRPG battle themes I've ever heard.
youtube.com/watch?v=uCR7pXMTiwU

It's pretty rough on the small screen but still fun. Been meaning to return to it too finish it. I'm just over 60 hours into it but have terrible a.d.d

you're both right, but XC2 is projected to be even better with based mitsuda taking over for shimomura

ACE+ saved this shit with mechanical rhythm

unfinished battle is also the most overrated song on XC

Xenoblade chronicles has a 30 hour tutorial mate.

>Is this the best JRPG ever?
Xenogears, Phantasy Star IV, Skies of Arcadia, Suikoden 2, Arc the Lad 2, Trails in the Sky SC, and Dark Chronicle say hello.

game starts at guar plains a few hours after a not nearly as restricting start as P5, don't know what you're talking about

>Want to play Skies of Arcadia
>$100+ on Amazon for GameCube version

I nearly spilled my drink the moment I saw ACE+ was back.

This.

>tfw xenogears: rebirth never

>ACE+ and Kiyota back
>Lead composer Mitsuda
>Sawano and Shimomura nowhere to be seen
It's going to have the best OST of this generation.

I thought the story was shit, but I had fun playing the game.

Shit combat

Hotbar battle systems are shit and should only be used in MMOs to appease the autistics

The best since the golden age that ended ~15 years ago.

Seriously, anyone who says that Xenoblade is a good JRPG are delusional. It's up and away the worst Operation Rainfall game.

It's not the best ever, but it is one of the best of the last generation.

It's definitely the absolute best single player MMO though.

>Xenogears
>Good
Dropped 20 hours in,what a fucking slog and the horrible writing didn't help

>Shimomura
>bad

Go fuck yourself.

Sawano is a complicated composer. I personally think the music suited the setting of X but it would be completly unfitting for 2.

>shimomura
>good

the best track on FFXV wasn't even done by her and the town/city themes are painfully bad

Fuck off Cody.

I picked it up 3 times and dropped it 3 times
I don't know what I'm expecting, and I'm autistic enough to go for that 100% FFX-2 shit
What am I doing wrong? I want to enjoy this and move on to XCX, but I just can't

Fuck off Cody

>autistics.
>autistics?
>autistics........

So you seem to be the opposite, retarded.

>the town/city themes are painfully bad
Those weren't done by her either, they were done by the DMC3 composer.

The only single player MMOs I've ever seen are this and FFXII, are there anymore than that?

Just play XCX if you're not enjoying the first one, they aren't related at all in terms of story.

>when you jump down a hole in the ground while exploring and this starts to play

youtube.com/watch?v=ooZyHLLQ5e8&t=246s

>autistic enough for 100% in FFX-2

that's the problem, don't bother with the menial side quests in XC

side quests are completely grindy and take forever. The rewards for doing them are almost never worth the effort.
Also Melia is a complete waste of a character; both in combat and in story. Truly the queen of all cucks.

going into XC blind without any expectations other than hearing it was exploration based was a fucking roller-coaster ride, so much unforgettable stuff

worst combat of any game i've ever played. it's utter shit

Alright, I'll give it another shot on July 4th weekend

Will it happen?

Some of the field themes in X are better than Chronicles like this one.
youtube.com/watch?v=cDbh3lLi1ZY

Side quests are easy as fuck in XC, what are you on about? You just grab them and do 90% of them passively through playing the game normally.

you fucking what?

melia is the strongest party member and the entire high entia subplot is on her

I'm hoping for a bayonetta 2 deal where an HD XC comes with XC2

don't force your way through it if you don't like it you don't like it. The game doesn't truly begin till bionis's leg anyway so if you haven't reached there let that be your goal

She's definitly the weakest written one

It's not even the best persona

>melia
>waste in combat

Hi I'm Sharla

I played it for about 8 hours and ended up dropping. I didn't actively hate it or dropped it on purpose, I just stopped playing and then realized a few months later I never came back to it.

It was pretty boring but I'm used to "it gets good after 100 hours!" games and play a lot of them, so I'm not sure what made me stop this one in specific.

>the entire high entia subplot is on her
Exactly, she's not a fleshed out character, but a plot devise.

Game doesn't get good until Colony 6.

No.

Get it. It won' t become cheaper.

It' s fuckin worth it.

I prefer a XCX port desu, most of us already played XC, XCX is in the goddam Wii U. The goddam Wii U

This isn't even the best final fantasy.

I-I like Valse di Fantastica/Gratia Mundi or whatever it's called.
I also liked Colony 9 from XC.
But yeah, she's gotten way worse since her Legend of Mana days.

Can she do anything else than sad viloin tracks?

>Skies of Arcadia
Probably the worst jrpg I've ever played. What a let down. Thought I'd love it cause of the theme and setting and shit but man the gameplay is trash and the encounter rate is even worse. Cool ideas but really dull to play.

I couldn't get more than 6 hours into Trails in the Sky before I couldn't take it anymore. It's so slow and plodding and feels insignificant in my actions. I didn't give a fuck about any of the npc conversations and I don't know how somebody could

youtube.com/watch?v=6Dy74NOzcS8

not even top 3 in FF

ya LoM ost is great, I miss when she had mitsuda's style like SMRPG

Except it is.

youtube.com/watch?v=RD4r8ufspg0

Except it is.

If you had read the post you'd realize I am aware this one of those games that don't get good until X, so I'm not entirely sure why you are telling me this.

This. The start is all just introduction, supposed to help you get a good grip of the game mechanics and gives you all false sense of "cliché JRPG"
and the you get hit by Xords plot-hammer.

It's not.

What's it play like?
Does it have a traditional PSX JRPG overworld and stuff?

It's definitely my favorite JRPG of all time, if not my favorite game of all time. I really hope Nintendo remasters the game on the Switch after Xenoblade 2.

6, 9, 12, 14 are all better

FF7 should have been xenogears

6 is trash tho

It's one of THE worst games to do "big giant" boss battles

I've dropped this game like 5 months ago, got bored of it.

opinion discredited

SNES Shimomura is GOAT, ever since then though not so much.

youtube.com/watch?v=vkailb3xcTI

I've never felt so overwhelmed by a change of gameplay,
after 30 hours of walking around, trying to find the right path with the nav ball
and then you are just in a giant Mech and the world opens up.
60 hours in you are able to fly and it's the same feel all over again.

It's the most iconic JRPG of all time, a contender for one of the greatest games ever, solely responsible for making JRPGs popular in the west and beginning the golden age, it's the most beloved in the franchise by a long shot, and Sup Forumss favorite Final Fantasy, officially, and it has one of the best written stories in JRPG history.

But sure, be a contrarian hipster and pretend that your second rate Xenoshit can stand toe-to-toe with the most iconic and beloved game in the most popular JRPG franchise in the world.

Final Fantasy VII IS JRPGs.

same to you I guess?

Good enough excuse to post this

Her Kingdom Hearts tracks are incredible what the fuck are you talking about

>Probably the worst jrpg I've ever played.
This. Can't understand why that game isn't considered a Sonic 06-tier atrocity, even though it has the makings of one.

>if it's iconic it's good

CoD is the most iconic FPS (inb4 doomfags) it doesn't mean shit

>Sup Forums's favorite final fantasy

more reason for it not being the best

>Xenoshit can stand toe-to-toe with the most iconic and beloved game in the most popular JRPG franchise in the world.

oh we know it's not as popular, it appeals to a higher IQ crowd which is more limited

Most iconic and well known doesn't equal best.

>Sonic 06-tier atrocity
The only JRPG that is Sonic 06 tier is FFXV.

Most iconic FPS is Halo 3.

>xiv devs went full retard mode
>Cancelled sub
>Still want to know how the story progresses

>most iconic fps is halo 3

not even the most iconic in its series, where do you idiots come up with this stuff?
