I'm playing FFT (on duckstation, kys if you prefer the butchered WotL translation and slowdown) for like the third time in my life. I was softlocked once in a dungeon and filtered once somewhere in chapter 3 and quit playing years ago. Started the game again on a whim this weekend and couldn't put it down, I'm now midway through chapter 4 and what in the frick is someone supposed to play after this? Every other SRPG is complete dogshit in comparison. Disgaea could never. Triangle Strategy? kys. The Banner Saga? LMFAO.

I like Shining Force 3 better
FFTA is an interesting sequel. FFTA2 is where shit gets a bit moronic.
Both complete utter shite.
first off this is a trpg
second
>Every other SRPG is complete dogshit in comparison.
this is true
TRPG and SRPG are interchangeable, only literal autismos give a frick about trying to differentiate them
i wish more people in these threads and playing these games were literal autismos instead of pretend quirky autismos
>only literal autismos
wheredoyouthinkyouare.jpg
Isometric games like FFT and Disgaea are completely different from games like fire emblem and suoer robot wars
they're the same genre "homies on a grid"
>Gameplay distinctions are too hard for low IQ westoids to recognize.
Unsurprising.
>Doesn't understand that FFT and games like FE are considered the same genre
>Calls me low IQ
allowing goyslurper normalhomosexuals on any fanbase is a mistake
the distinction matters, have a nice day if you disagree
I thought a TRPG is a game like Ogre Battle, these are just different styles of SRPGs.
Tactics Ogre: Let us Cling Together
Stasis Sword > Steady Sword, and all the shitty ye olde english redone dialogue of WotL.
Also, Agrias best girl
I like the fake old english because Vagrant Story also has it
play it again with a randomizer
Yes its the best SRPG ever made, nothing else comes close. I would love to see a remaster of WotL on Steam.
why in the frick do morons call tactical RPGs "SRPGs"
there really is no meaningful distinction. you'll find all the games in both categories. you're being a gay
Japan calls them 'Simulation RPGs'
Fire emblem conquest
>butchered WotL translation
WotL translation is kino. But yes, FFT is the best SRPG ever. Tactics Ogre is 2nd
Nah, like Fire Emblem its massively overrated and i say this as a big Squaresoft fan
Triangle Strategy
character locked classes is kinda lame
That seems to be what turns off oldgays but as a counterpoint you get a good variety of classes within the cast (including pretty wacky shit or different takes on stock archetypes). I love FFT and was blown away when I played it but TriStrat hits even higher levels in terms of writing and especially the tactical gameplay. The maps are generally excellent and incentivize real time board control and playing to an objective (ie actual tactics) instead of just bum rushing or turtling. There’s a map in Chapter 9 that filters everyone but it’s so so good because you’re dealt a shit hand and have to figure out how to play out the hole you’re in by taking certain parts of the map as a foothold
>help me save these people I didn't grow up with or you're a bad husband
wooow such good writing
What’s the issue? The racism angle is done well because the racism exists to justify economic exploitation (and has an air of realism to it as a result). Morality ending is great because you pay the price wanting to play the hero and one of the most moral characters for the story in Frederica ends up getting Serenoa to sacrifice the many for the few in a great moment of irony. I think it’s pretty good.
I loved the job system in fft and it’s probably one of the best game design decisions ever. I think TriStrat’s system works too though and it’s never been a dealbreaker for me. The tradeoff is that the game ends up being more challenging and even the broken strats require a bit more game knowledge.
>What’s the issue?
the issue is frederica has you killed to save people she didn't even know. she made you forsake your own people in the process. she grew up in a castle with a privileged lifestyle except every now and then her brother and sister said mean things to her, but actually she's just like all of these slaves. it's like if you married oprah winfrey and she tells you to save all the blacks in detroit or she's gonna divorce you because she just happens to be black too.
She relates to them on a personal level because she belongs to the same ethnic group and lives in a world where those in that ethnic group are treated and perceived a certain way. On a moral level, ie what values she actually holds (which remain consistent on non-Roselle issues), she finds the Roselle’s exploitation deplorable, with her own identity and the stories passed down from her mother only serving to amplify this. Identity politics is obviously shallow in and of itself and yet people subscribe to it anyways because of tribalism and social forces. She doesn’t consider herself opressed but she’s an empathetic person in general with a real connection to the Roselle (not only in appearance but through Orlaea). The biggest significance of her nobility and marriage to Serenoa isn’t that she’s detached from the Roselle’s situation, it’s that she has the power to change it. The 3 regular endings are extremely narratively important and the Morality is about more than Serenoa being pussywhipped as I said above
yeah don't get me wrong, i had a good time with TS and enjoyed it a lot but i don't like being "forced" into using specific characters instead of training up ones that i like and cross classing them into monsters. although to be fair certain other games do have an issue with making some story characters way too strong as well if they give them unique abilities. you know who i'm talking about.
the one positive about the way TS di it is that it prevents class stacking which does require a bit more strategy than stacking archers and mages. having anna go around stealthing as a decoy to get enemies in place for the ranged characters to attack is a bit more in depth than just stacking all ranged characters and nuking everything before it reaches you. when you can't fill the entire team with archers and mages, you have to change things up a bit.
I like this actually I think units should be overwhelmmingly unique I hate this this aspect of nu-fe where units are becoming more samey
>breaks all your armor
Shame she's gotten so late
>Get made completely irrelevant before she even joins the party because of orlandu
Lmao
>ruins your whole shtick with one simple trick
yes
Its crazy this isn’t available on any modern platform, as far as I understand. Remaster when? Tactics ogre reborn almost feels better now that I finally got a chance to play it recently, however.
You could try playing the father of FFT aka Tactics Ogre.
Tactics ogre for whatever reason doesn't interest me. I was considering playing Advance or Vagrant story next and just Matsuno out, not sure which. It'll be a while before I beat this anyway
> I was considering playing Advance or Vagrant story next and just Matsuno out
>Tactics ogre for whatever reason doesn't interest me
i assume you are implying you just want to stay on Matsuno based games/ games Matsuno worked on.

try to be less moronic next time.
just play Tactics Ogre next.
I prefer TO a bit.
>kys if you prefer the butchered WotL translation and slowdown
Is that the PSP version?
yes. If I eventually play the WotL it'll have to be on an emulator with a slowdown fix patch. I fricking hate SE so much.
So if I know Japanese and I play with the patch, lions is just 100% better no question right?
What is this about the slow down?
I thought it was just a bug in my emulator.
psp version has a slowdown on animations that is unbearable if you've played the original, it also un-syncs the sound effects from the attack animations. I also fricking hate the translation
It's hard to find an unpatched version of the rom these days
You could try Ash of Gods Redemption.
Fire Emblem Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn are worth checking out. Just emulate them (Dolphin works well) since trying to buy them is fricking stupid currently.
They are a solid duology that forgoes the fricking cancerous dating simulator/life sim anime bullshit of the newer games, but not fricking miserable to play like the older games in the series. They have some similar themes to FFT in the sense that there are more than 2 nations at war, follow a band of heroes trying to do the right thing, and ultimately fight god.
They are no FFT, but then... what is?
>but not fricking miserable to play like the older games in the series.
>j-just use emulator fast forward for half the game and a mod to see %s combat
FFT is dogshit and so is tellius, not surprising at all that they share the same pretentious audience
it's telling the post pretentious goyslop has fans telling you to skip as much gameplay as humanly possible
it's almost like they know it's fricking trash
>but not fricking miserable to play like the older games in the series
EXCUSE ME? path of radiance has to be one of the slowest games I've ever played anyone would be better off playing one of the gba games
>forgoes the fricking cancerous dating simulator/life sim anime bullshit of the newer games,
You people really need to get over yourselves conquest and engage are both better srpgs than path of radiance, I haven't played radiant dawn so I can't speak on that one
>conquest and engage are both better srpgs than path of radiance
Engage sure, but not Conquest. Fates is fricking shit, the 3DS era was the worst FE has ever been.
exclusively when talking gameplay wise fates has some of the best map and class design in the series
>fates has some of the best map and class design in the series
No it doesn't. Fates maps are fricking garbage. I have no idea what exactly you mean by "class design" but none of the classes in Fates is fun to play because of the gay-ass 3DS skill bloat shit and absolutely pants-on-head moronic weapons. Basically the only thing Fates did well was integrating tomes/bows/daggers into the weapon triangle.
I see you're a "anything more than javelin and end turn is bloat" kinda guy
>MUH JAVCAV END TURN SIMULATOR
You are a pretentious homosexual.
>plays like a speedtroony bot
>complains the game is boring
lmfao
I’m pretty sure this is normal mode? On harder difficulties they rape your stats and that char sucks
/v/:
>the gameplay sucks
also Ganker:
>
I just checked, the first Samurai he attacks has the appropriate hard/lunatic stats. The skills don't make a difference because they don't activate when the enemy dies.
you can tell it's hard or lunatic because the samurai has 15 STR and he also doesn't have quick draw on normal
also i made that webm, that's base shura with str/spd tonic, azura dance, and haitaka/laslow rallies. he doesn't even need those if you put him next to camilla or give him a promoted keaton/berserker pairup or give him a forged bow
Yes conquest
literally nobody shilling path of slop has actually played it, otherwise they would know it's complete garbage
holy shit no
it's utter shit
>like 50% of the classes are at best, pointless
>the other 50% are divided between 'meh, has one or two abilities for other classes to be OP with' and 'holy shit this shit is broken as frick'
I prefer Tactics Ogre: LUCT with the one vision mod
I'm still salty about the fact that Yell is the most obvious game breaker in the history of fricking FF and let me solo like everything. Dorter was piss easy with it after my second try. Just let everything else tank while Ramza yells like an autismo
I wouldn't put yell/scream in the top 10 most broken things in fft
>kys if you prefer the butchered WotL translation and slowdown
you should look up a mod called The Lion War, it keeps the superior original translation but also has the neat extras they added in WOTL
>what in the frick is someone supposed to play after this?
Vandal Hearts 1 and 2
Shining Force 1 and 2
Arc the Lad 2
Fire Emblem 6 and 7
>wotl w/psx translation and slowdown fix
wow more content? what a tragedy
>slowdown
>he doesn't know about the patch
i love the wotl translation and i love the triangle strategy!!!!!!!!
>kys if you prefer
Calm down loser, wanting people to die over video game preference lmao
Furonto Mishon Faivu > your derivative ogre clone
Tactics Ogre is better.
Nah. Simpletons are too busy playing Triangle Strategy, Fire Emblem and don't have the required IQ to play a REAL tactical RPG.
a real tactical RPG like reborn where you can literally autobattle your way through the entire main campaign and POTD?
>I hate this this aspect of nu-fe where units are becoming more samey
explain in detail the difference in unit feel between bord, cord, barst, and darros
>kys if you prefer the butchered WotL translation and slowdown
wiener sucker, there are rom hacks that fix these issues, the slow downs at least. Might want to tone down that confident, uninformed moronation before posting, idiot.
calm down gay. your translation just sucks, don't cry about it
No ones crying over your unwarranted autism for a translation most people could care less about, imbecile.
Anyone played pic?
looks like westoid pandering goyslop so it wouldn't surprise me if it was garbage
tips on calculator?
and mime for that matter. idk wtf I'm doing with either
max out all other classes first. Pick your favorite abilities.
>put 108 gems on your party which makes you immune to toad
>spam toad on the whole map
>mop up all the frogs
CT5 Holy
Chameleon Robes
>enemy is level x1, x2, x3, x4
Now what huh? Where's your god now?
I said CT, not lvl.
Never bring an actual calculator into battle, just run them through a few errands for jp and use them as a black mage secondary skill. They're already horrifically overpowered with just a couple of calculator skills.
I patched the wotl translation into the psx version, it's kino
no one ever mentions it but the game looks much better in 4:3 instead of the psp stretched ratio
that said, no it's not the greatest srpg, not even close, unless you only care about the story, gameplay wise it's one of the worst
I'm playing it with the fan translation. It made no sense without it.
>Best SRPG
No, it's good but not the best. For me the best is Xcom Enemy Unknown. Killing xenos scum is much more based than pretending to be a gay elf.
I highly recommend vandal hearts. yeah character locked classes but it's an awesome game and challenging
why do slurpers only ever manage to mention goyslop shilled by video essayist grifters?
Alexander O. Smith is my god
on a technical and gameplay level, Fell Seal is an improvement
SRPG in fact does not stand for Strategy RPG
It stands for Sexy Role Playing Gaimu
It's pretty good, definitely my favorite. That being said, I'm sure there are better srpgs that I just never played, fft isn't without its flaws and while it's one of my favorite medieval type story I think it was never very influencial.
yes, it will never be surpassed
>what in the frick is someone supposed to play after this?
Chaos Seed
It and Final Fantasy Tactics have a great deal of depth to their mechanics, so it's the only game I ever played that managed to scratch that FFT itch. The Sega Saturn version of Chaos Seed even comes with video tutorials cause the game has so much going on with its Feng Shui (you can play it for hundreds of hours and still learn new ways to do better.
>kys if you prefer the butchered WotL translation and slowdown
Stopped reading there, eat a dick gay
If FFT is the best SRPG ever made, then the genre sucks tbh
Mid game, troon fanboys
Tell me about WotL's translation, is it really bad, and is there a way to patch it to the old translation?
just play the original man jesus
I heard WotL has new classes, is there a patch to put those into the original?
have you guys ever tried walking in place
