        my initial impression is that this is not a sjw artstyle. man is front and center in a heroic sword pose and is unambigously a man while the woman is kneeling and showing off her thicc thighs in whats nearly an upskirt shot and is clearly some kind of spellcaster. pretty classic jrpg setup. if they wanted to be subversive the woman would be the confident knight and the boy would either actually be a woman because they're lesbians or would be the squishy wizard

        the combat is shallow but also slow and tedious. like i dont mind if the combat in jrpg's is just press x really fast but when you have to fight hundreds of times and its really slow and hung up on weakness mechanics, it's straight up bad unless you decrease the amount of fights and make them unique

        • 9 months ago
          Anonymous

          I don't mind that part as much since they're one-and-done when you're in an area. If the enemies respawned or there were more encounters it would be a bigger deal but I'm okay with it as it is now.

          Biggest thing for me is that I wish you started fights with full MP, Kept your combo meter between fights, or both. I got prolapsed by a group of ant lions that I couldn't really do anything about because I didn't have the attack spread to kill them fast enough from multiplying on turn one so it ended up being 3 vs 11.

          I suppose I could be more proactive about cooking MP healing foods but since you only have 10 food slots that seems annoying too

      Braindead easy no matter how many artificial handicaps the games throws at you, and unironically one of the worst JRPG stories of all time.
      "Immortally reincarnated main character finally learns to live with himself and his many past lives -> decides to reverse the latter half of his story arc and commit suicide anyway. In the process, he purposefully gives literal godhood to the sociopath who's betrayed said main character FOUR (4) times, due to murderous lust for power, over the course of the game and has not redeemed himself in any way whatsoever since except for helping the hero in the literal last fight of the game, an action which said psychopath himself even admits is out of self-preservation only."

          The fact something like what that backer mentioned is even IN the game to begin with is shameful and shows the devs didn't care to set clear enough boundaries. If they can allow that, then there should be no reason they can't accept shitposts like "Cute and Funny" without a bias.

      Allowing kickstarter backers to actually have input in your game aside from having a section in the credits with their names is beyond moronic. It always takes the player right out of the world they've crafted so you can see what some moronic homosexual wanted to say. Hollow Knight had a backer area too, though I don't remember if it had anything as blatantly moronic. The worst example has to be Indivisible.

        nah, there's been some good examples but they need to not blatantly stand out. spider girl in undertale doesn't feel out of place. reize in shovel knight just feels like a parody of anime heroes given the rest of the games designs, crosscode has a bunch of food items that were backer chosen and they tend to either just be obscure foods the person liked or references that you don't need to get the joke, like DK pepper being just a soda if you don't know its a steins gate thing.

        what about the redditer portraits in bloodstained?

        this was fricking stupid though, just real photos put through a filter in the middle of a game with an anime girl running around

    Yeah, I think it is. A lot of people circle-jerked Octopath as a worthy retro successor, but I always felt like it was missing something when I was playing. Sea of Stars actually feels like what people were praising Octopath for, and it's truly amazing so far. Exploration is top notch, every area is beautiful, great characters, beautiful music, intriguing story, amazing combat, actually fun mini games, no random encounters, good balancing. It also has a lot of the fun stuff that modern JRPGs have; you can ambush enemies with a grappling hook like in Persona 5. This is like, top 5 JRPGs ever made. You can tell these devs really love the best things in this genre. Oh, and no bugs encountered in my playthrough.

    Dropped it after around 10 hours or so. Gameplay isn't good or fresh enough to carry how little I care about any of the party members or the story. It's not the worst gameplay in the world, but only 4 skills per character? No customization but a tiny level up bonus? Only Attack and Defense as stats? Really? I could forgive all this if I at least liked the party or the writing, but like I said, I dont.

        The only game that Konami is actually developing in-house right now that I can tell is Metal Gear Delta with literally everything else being outsourced. The only thing I hope from this is that maybe they actually start growing their own in-house studios again, but the fact they gave SH2 to Blooper who have explicitly already stated that their changing it to meet their own vision shows that Konami is still making the same mistakes as they were a decade ago with their IPs.

      I fricking love this game so far, but this really sticks out like a sore thumb. It's not that it's Reddit (the frick does that even mean anyways), but there's grammatical errors from time to time and sometimes it seems like they just forgot that commas exist and are vital in making text readable. It's strange that every other aspect of the game is so polished, but this was completely skipped over.

        I mean, I'm ESL so maybe I don't see so much grammar errors as you, especially if there are terms I'm unfamiliar with, but it looks *better* if you write
        >Let's go over there, Valere.
        instead of
        >Let's go over there Valere.

        Still, that's not the most annoying text I've seen this year. This title goes to Mato Anomalies where every single fricking sentence has at least one word written with italic font / curve.

    For $15 I'd say it's fine. Visuals are good, gameplay's engaging enough and it's nice to play a RPG in 2023 that at least tries to have puzzles/obstacles in dungeons instead of just walking forward with a side path here and there, I just wish they made the puzzles harder. Overall story is whatever so far and the dialogue isn't very good so I wouldn't play it for the narrative.

    playing it and it reminds me way more of secret of mana than chrono trigger. the game is not woke at all. gameplay is fine, the mini game wheels is a big weird to get into. I like the dungeons the most, they are really fun. characters and story are really save and nothing ground breaking. which on the one hand was exactly what sabotage studios was aiming for, but most would have liked something new especially in character development and themes, because they have become so incredible stale in JRGPs over the years with only very few exceptions (Nier). It's a really good game, but it could have been groundbreaking, it's a shame.

    NO HEROISM
    NOTHING DARK (NO DEATH/DARK THEMES IN GENERAL)

    I'm like 5 hours in and its cool so far, the combat is turn based but with mingames for each attack which is fun, not super deep or anything but it works
    Game looks pretty beautiful too
    Story is nothing to write home about but it also isn't trying to be something super deep or complex, so far its a fairly straightforward adventure which is fine
    Anyway to put it in Ganker terms its comfy and has sovl, if you like the idea of a modern snes style jrpg is a good time

    Played the demo, but I think I got filtered because I could not beat that boss, even with inputs. That roulette gimmick is way too rng based for my taste.

    I know the demo puts you in the middle of the story with a low level and shit armor/ weapons, but I feel the enemies hit too hard, again, even with proper inputs.

    Is the full game better? I want to like it but so far I'm on the fence

      While Chained Kekholds is abhorrent on principle, when you consider that it was legitimately made by a small team without the benefit of $1,000,000 in Kickstarterbux, it really makes you wonder

        But was it really? From what little I played of CE I saw a lot of reused assets in overly large areas meant to fill up the game. SoE seems to the point with a lot of new areas and assets

    What bothers me is the western thumblr artstyle. I don't get it, these people claim to love jrpgs but then they do everything they can to stir away from jrpg anime aesthetics like they're somehow ashamed of it,

    I liked The Messenger, but the writing was some of the worst, un-funny, Reddit-cringe humor I've ever read. Not a big deal for a platformer, but I definitely wouldn't want to play a text heavy game by the same team.

    Is it really troonycore? I bought it but can still refund it. Or is it just an adventure without modern politics in it.

      There’s literally zero troony stuff in the entire story.

        if this was the case why would they show the white skin artwork on the front page of their website? they would just remove it and call everyone who brought up the change a bigot like when they turned the white cowboy into a black one with indivisible
