Trying to play a JRPG. I normally do raiding in an MMO most of the time but I've decided to take a break. I really want to play a JRPG. Any recommendations I could get?
Potential games:
Tales of Berseria
Legend of Dragoon
Vagrant Story
Final Fantasy?
JRPGs I've enjoyed:
Xenogears
Xenoblade
Disgaea
FFX
Legend of Legaia
Neptunia
Persona 5.
This. P5 is one of the best, if not the best JRPG ever. If you enjoyed those JRPGs, you'd definitely like P5.
I don't have a PS3. :[
This or Tsubasa's game
>plays jrpgs
>doesn't have a ps3
what are you doing?
Ah, that sucks. You could emulate Persona 4. That game is incredible too.
Berseria and Xenoblade.
I hated persona 5 so I can't recommend it to you.
Vagrant Story is pretty good although you might want to do research the combat system, it's very obtuse and unintuitive
Legend of Dragoon if you're in the mood for something long
Or Persona 3. They're both amazing games.
recommending garbage xD
Is this game good? No negative answers allowed because I already bought it Only say positive things please.
OP likes Neptunia so it's a step up at least.
I really hated repeating the same shit with a slight twist over and over again.
The only redeeming quality about Berseria is the cast and story. Everything else about the game, especially the level design is atrociously bad. LoD is pretty nice but it was never my thing. Maybe give FF7 or 9 a try on steam. Or emulate the PS2 SMT games or Persona.
It's good up until the point where it feels like it's going to end and goes straight to shit.
It has issues but it's a very solid JRPG
One of these.
I liked it, but I never finished it. I got spoiled by one of my friend's and lost all drive to finish it.
Life sim/adventure games, in multiple styles of gameplay.
Yakuza
Ace Attorney
Shenmue
Zero Escape
Hotel Dusk
Ghost Trick
I don't like but they fit: Persona, Danganronpa
The only JRPG in that list is Persona...
Kal online
Dragon raja
Who said anything about JRPGs other than OP? The thread is titled "Recommendation General"
>I really want to play a JRPG
Are you OP? Why did you title this thread wrong if you didn't want anyone else to talk about anything else but JRPGs? And if you're not, then learn to read.
Also Yakuza is a way better JRPG series than Persona.
>Yakuza is a way better JRPG series than Persona
I wonder who interrupted the thread incorrectly. The 13 people who recommended OP JRPGs to play as per his request. Or you, who thought to just recommend whatever.
I wasn't talking to OP you tard.
>typical JRPG fags
Plus he put Berseria in the OP when it's not even an RPG. But since the thread is already about JRPGs by now I'll post some LoL and get some not-Saga in here.
How is it not a RPG?
forgot the J in that post. It's not a JRPG because it's not turn based.
A game doesn't have to be turn based to be considered a RPG, what the fuck are you talking about?
>Yakuza
> JRPG
Your taste sounds pretty garbage my dude, we need to fix that.
Try these actually good jrpgs:
Dragon Quest III
Dragon Quest V
Chrono Trigger
Metal Max Returns
Earthbound
Breath of Fire III and IV
Final Fantasy Legends I-III (SaGa I-III)
Saga Frontier I and II
Romancing Saga Ministrel Song
SMT: Nocturne
SMT: Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2
Yeah, character progression, side quests, exploration, which the series does better in character building than Persona which is just easy and pointless stat building and doesn't have either of those other things. You don't need numbers to make a JRPG.
Those shitty retrieval side quests that are given in the velvet rooms don't even count as side quests for me. S-links don't either, as it's just integral to playing and only consists of you hitting the right button to give shitty advice to insecure teenagers.
>Persona
>real JRPG
Trails in the sky.
OP here. I've played Chrono Cross and I enjoyed it. I also played Dragon Quest, well.. Dragon Warrior 1 and 2. I see there's tons of them on DS and I never played any cause I was worried I wouldn't get to play them in order.
OP says you can recommend anything you want. All games considered.
I have a friend who's super into Persona, it seems like one of those games that 50% of people love and 50% of people hate cause it's popular. I've never understood that.. I've often wondered about Persona though, seemed like a fun series.
Ignore the ds DQ games. They are fine themselves as games but the English versions have terrible translations. If you're curious a particular DQ tell me and I'll help with which version to play and what to expect.
I think the Persona games are pretty mediocre honestly. The social aspects are not interesting to me at all and the dungeon crawling is pretty bad. I rather play other Megaten games. They're worth at least a playthrough.
This right here. The thing about persona is they really rely on thier VN sections as their defining feature. If you don't care about them they will be unenjoyable.
