I played through the prologue today. The game reminds me of Sunless Sea. The setting is like a cross between Dark Sun and the collapse of Rome. The world is certainly interesting. You basically go from town to town trading resources and building up your retinue to amass enough power to target plot oriented quests. There's a lot of reading, the main motivator is learning about the world. Gameplay seems to mostly boil down to figuring out routes which are most profitable. Not sure if that's enough to carry a full game, but the main campaign is much more open so we'll see.

I'm currently catching up on the main quest of Granblue Fantasy, just finished the Nahlegrande arc. Better story than many full priced JRPGs I've played. Once I'm fully caught up, I'll probably either play either FF13-2 (already installed and modded), DQ11 (hearing good things about it), or Witch on the Holy Night
I'd recommend starting at Factions, as you level up the fastest (ie get to challenging content more quickly, versus Prophecies where you have to do many hours of boring easy stuff first) and 3 out of the four zones are high fantasy environments (second zone is a dying, rotting Chinese urban city, then you get a petrified forest and a sea that was turned to Jade. Nightfall you go to hell at the end but otherwise it's just boring desert).
I'd also advise checking out the sequel, GW2, which is a sequel in name only really but provides a fun high fantasy adventure through lots of different imaginative environments, and has some cool elite specs, and the story in the middle part was engaging enough.
Last year I finished Trails into Reverie, Kuro no Kiseki 1, the Muv-Luv Trilogy and Total Eclipse, and that was while I was subbed to WoW, which I am not right now and won't at least until fall or winter when TWW has been out for a bit and the next patch is coming out. I can definitely finish several JRPGs and/or VNs in that time.
I'll enjoy having money and spending it on things one can actually grasp while you waste it on a license to play (not even own) a game that exists in infinite amounts like the cuck you are.
>It's a ton of fun.
By what metric? It's a simulation of playing a roleplaying game. (and I mean this literally, yes it is stupid as it sounds) You just direct your generic party into generic procedurally generated dungeons and they attack generic monsters over and over. That's the whole game.
Alright, think I'm gunna give Vagrus another hour then drop it. The gameplay loop is indeed the same, getting like mobile game tier gameplay vibes now. I can't see anyone enjoying this unless they were absolutely in love with the writing and didn't care about anything else.
Yeah, that's the appeal- it's also how Sunless Sea/Skies/Shack (A House of Many Doors) got followings. The gameplay overall is dogshit unless you're hyper-autistic about trade routes AND have the patience of a saint; the real fun is in it being a choose your own adventure book.
Yeah I'm not a big fan of CYOAs. I like to be able to interact with and manipulate the world directly through combat and exploration. Text dumps kind of feel like bottom of the barrel CnC to me.
Idk man, it's just been fun taking random jobs and stuff and seeing my own mundane story unfold. I'd love to see something just like it with even more life sim options at some point. It's something different for me and that's been enough to be having fun with it. I was going to play through Etrian Odyssey II or Farland Story II next but I've been trying to branch out from just playing RPGs all the time.
>I was going to play through Etrian Odyssey II or Farland Story II next but I've been trying to branch out from just playing RPGs all the time.
but isnt lunatic dawn an even more simplified parody version of jrpgs?
>parody version of jrpgs
I don't know what you mean by that. My thought was incomplete; I mean I was going to start a game that wasn't an RPG, which could be a lot of games. Maybe an FPS like Powerslave or something. I figure a game like Lunatic Dawn could be played on the side while I do other stuff due to the way it's structured.
There's a translation patch in the Steam community guides for the game. It takes just a few minutes to get it all set up tops. There's an English manual for the game as well which should answer most players questions about the game.
Martyr-chan, is such a dork.
I wish that game had like one or two more mech sections. Hopefully Beyond Citadel will have even better ones.
Most of my money is in escrow for Dragon's Dogma 2, but I picked up Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children. Was 66% off, looks like XCOM 2 but made by Korean hyper-autists who built entire gameplay loops around single classes. Also snagged LIGHT: Black Cat & Amnesia Girl, mostly because I'm desperate for even a fraction of the joy I felt pushing pots off of roofs in Stray.
Oh man if you hate it already, you're really gonna hate it by the end. Ends super abruptly, just fricking rushes the final encounter straight to you. One minute you'll be thinking 'shit maybe this is getting good?' and then the Sorrow bursts in through the windows, and I mean LITERALLY BURSTS THROUGH THE WINDOWS, boom final boss encounter sequence!
A good beat em up that's active on fightcade, not steam, so you bought the wrong version of it instead of the better free version, which is also not an rpg, at all.
>In what way is it worse
The biggest issue is the lobby. Not only is it worse for matchmaking, but it's not a good platform for talking with others or observing others play to learn tech, which is closer to an arcade atmosphere, which this game was designed for, anyways.
It's worth mentioning that this game is dead. It's mostly played by Koreans now, but if you sit in the lobby and grind out 1ccs eventually someone within your region will pop in and offer to play with you. Eventually.
Alliance Alive HD, Wooden Ocean, Hylics 2, and a bunch of non-rpg stuff (Talos 2, some small VNs). Wooden Ocean has been kino, will probably hope on Alliance Alive next.
Star Ocean 5
six I mean.
I got Vagrus so far.

Just finished installing. Apparently there's a lot of single player content I figured frick it why not.

You're not gunna play any of those other games, just gacha and mmos

That's not a very impressive line up. You sound like a homo.
i bought saga scarlet grace but i haven't played it yet
update: i played it for 3 hours, and i have barely any idea what's going on or what to do. the battle system is kind of cool but i'm really lost
>tfw no one bought my game
It was probably not very good. Do not use rpg maker next time.
Why would you buy a singleplayer game?
I would never play a game I would not pay for. The value of my time far exceeds the price of a game.
That's a great way to think about things.
Why are you poor and brown
I'll enjoy having money and spending it on things one can actually grasp while you waste it on a license to play (not even own) a game that exists in infinite amounts like the cuck you are.
The Citadel.
not rpg
Lunatic Dawn: Passage of the Book. It's a ton of fun.
Based.
Yep, this sure is a game alright.

I would've warned you to not bother. The setting is cool, but the rest of the game is pretty ass.
I don't have much to play right now so I'm scraping the barrel.

How are you playing Lunatic Dawn on Steam in English?

Very based.
It's been on my radar for a long time, thanks anon
Martyr-chan, is such a dork.
I considered getting Tactics Ogre Reborn, but I decided to wait until it's under $20 since I already played the original anyway.
Bought Numenera, atm I'm 4 hours in and already hate it, but I guess I'll see till the very end...

Do poor people really?
Bought ff12 for 20 bucks. At this rate maybe I’ll play it by Christmas
No!
I Win!
I bought Digimon Next Order. I couldn't really think of anything else to pick up.
Just bought this thing, what am I in for?
A good beat em up that's active on fightcade, not steam, so you bought the wrong version of it instead of the better free version, which is also not an rpg, at all.
Oops.
Oh well, it is what it is. In what way is it worse?
Also, come on Anon, everything with D&D in the name MUST be a RPG.
>In what way is it worse
The biggest issue is the lobby. Not only is it worse for matchmaking, but it's not a good platform for talking with others or observing others play to learn tech, which is closer to an arcade atmosphere, which this game was designed for, anyways.
It's worth mentioning that this game is dead. It's mostly played by Koreans now, but if you sit in the lobby and grind out 1ccs eventually someone within your region will pop in and offer to play with you. Eventually.
Both RPG Maker MV and MZ!
>buy
No
Alliance Alive HD, Wooden Ocean, Hylics 2, and a bunch of non-rpg stuff (Talos 2, some small VNs). Wooden Ocean has been kino, will probably hope on Alliance Alive next.
