Bad bait. Like really low test and low attention span otherwise.
Sorry you're an illiterate frogposter. I suggest suicide
It's been proven JRPG turn based gameplay is flawed and the only thing redeeming the game is the story, dialogue, art style and music.
SAD
AHEM
legitimately how every jrpg plays out. basic attack -> basic attack -> basic attack
>helicopter flying around in the background that's not pre-rendered
Actually impressive for a 1997 PS1 game.
I hate when this is posted because that's not even the optimal way to beat it. That's like if you posted a webm of someone pressing the 1 button constantly to kill a mob in WoW. Yeah it's possible but you're making the game boring for yourself. You have to use magic and items in that fight and it becomes way more interesting since you're solo and not with a party and have to turn manage.

No, you're supposed to use Fire-all!
ATB meters were a death knell for RPG complexity because they actually incentivize mashing through menus, the worst part of every RPG.
So you like FFX?
Yes there's nothing wrong with playing a game you can't lose.
>So you like FFX?
No its too anime
FFX's gameplay is improved but the setting is horrible.
There's nothing inherently wrong with turn-based combat or random encounters but most JRPGs, including the most popular ones, handle them terribly.

>text, text, text
WTF is this an RPG?
Try Star Ocean 2. It's a good baby's first jrpg and it let's you cheat from the gergi if you're a shitter.
this is a valid, not because of "le reading" but because all dialogue and writing in japanese games, and especially jrpgs, are garbage and contrived, literally pulp.
Why even specify "japanese games"? It's games from everywhere in general.
Nine times out of ten the player does not give a shit and just wants to get to the GAME part.
>It's games from everywhere in general.
lol no, western games overrall have better dialogue and story pacing, nip games just drone on and on and on with the text boxes and "character development" with shit you see coming a mile away. I dont like it, but weebs sure do, which is why VNs are so popular. the ironic part is that the japs dont even tske their own stories half as seriously as the weebs do, the only exception is from soft as miyazaki is so far up his own ass, but fittingly he draws all his dtorytelling techniques from western shit like lovecraft
I don’t believe this webm is real so it’s not real.
kek I feel you bro I fricking hate those games for that reason
JRPGs are literally just glorified VNs. I thought everyone was aware of this.
stop playing JRPGs
You mean the start of Rebirth? Yeah I found it a bit flat too. Prepare for a slog if you don’t bleed weeb.
I just watched the old FF games on youtube at 4x speed instead of playing them as the gameplay doesn't really matter. Its the stories they are known for. I played 7 remake and 7 rebirth as they have action combat.
So same as Baldurs Gate and every other Wrpg?
Play jrpg

Just dont play this dying genre, theres a reason why gacha games adopted this gameplay and story. Its easy to reproduce and tranime gays ear it up

I struggle to name a JRPG that doesn't fit into this.
Still better than TLoU and Horizon

I'm starting to get the hang of this.
This is why I just started watching games on youtube in the last few years instead. I can just skip to the story bits and get it over with asap.
word it's why I read the summary to a movie on wikipedia in 2 minutes instead of spending 2 hours.
It's also why I'd rather watch porn and jerk off and smoke weed instead of build a career and get a wife and start a family.
I actually do this kinda with modern movies. I watch those youtube channels that summarise movies in 10 minutes or whatever and I watch at 6x speed. So I get the general idea of what the movie is about as fast as possible. Yes I know I'm an adhd zoomer but I cant fix it.
>American is too dumb to read
Many such cases

yes but western writing doesnt make you want to fall asleep
I do find it funny that a board that supposedly only cares about gameplay is also obsessed with jrpgs that are all about story, characters and text. Never made sense to me
I'm going to play ff4 for 1st time
