Is that even the norm anymore?
Yeah, random encounters still exist in JRPGs, but I've seen a lot that have field encounters lately, even Neptunia has field-based encounters.

Last time I trusted /v/ on a "good" JRPG.
>buy game
>expect something different
>my character is a spiky blonde haired emo
>my first team mates are a ladyboy elf and a cardboard cut out of a weebs waifu
>go through the game grinding in turn based combat literally pressing two buttons nt even looking at the screen
>other teammates are a powerful magic loli that can't even talk or walk well yet
>a flirty THICK!!!! elf mage (her THICK!!! gave her more character than all the other characters combined)
>the edgiest mother fucker in the universe complete with scythe and black red clothes
And at that moment I knew I had fallen for memes and that /v/ just has shit taste in games 95% of the time.
When someone suggests JRPGs to you feel free to ignore them because they probably like gobbling down shit as well.

>>323165847
What game? Just curious
Sounds like someone gave you a shitty recommendation

>>323165985
It was some hipster trash I had to import because I didn't get localized.
I don't even remember the title at this point. It now lays in a bargain bin somewhere.
The only reason I gave it a chance to begin with is because I wanted to give the genre a last chance.

>>323166334
Sure, bud.

>>323166334
If you are going to give the genre a last chance, I'd wait to see how this year goes at least. There are loads of solid looking JRPGs coming out this year, with Dragon Quest, Ni No Kuni, Bravely Second and whatnot. If this year disappoints, I'm going to be set back on JRPGs as well

/v/ will eat any shit up as long as there are anime characters in it. Like, for /v/, to turn a mediocre game into a "good" game you just have to make the characters "cute" and add plenty of fan-service.
Neo-/v/, Game-play out, Waifus in

>>323166615
Nobody said either of those games were good

>>323166615
>Agarest
It's your fault for basing your decisions on one fucking anon.

>>323166792
/v/ did. The only game recommendation from /v/ that has ever been good is Mount and Blade.

>>323166815
I pirated it anyway, it's alright. Even though I didn't suffer economically I suffered in the sense that my companions on /v/ have terrible taste that they're blind to.

>>323161965
i am playing xenogears god damn almost every step its so fucking annoying

Also, not a JRPG, but /v/ told me PoE was good when it was trash. Morrowind is trash too but I'm not much of an Elder Scrolls guy

>/v/ recommends me the Hyperdimension Neptunia series
>expect an underrated RPG that gets blindly shot down because of waifubait characters
>the series is extremely mediocre
>the monsters are all forgettable looking cute blobs and references I don't care about
>90% of the dialogue is DUDE BOOBS LMAO
But /v/ also recommended me Suidoken and the SaGa games and those were fantastic.

How can /v/ have such polar tastes? Could it be... /v/ is not one person

>>323168539
>/v/ is filled with Weeaboos that also have shit taste because they only play shit games for the waifubait

At least it's not like Arcana, where turning around counts as a step.

Holy shit, its like weaboos have the worst taste ever and people make shovelware moe shit to get easy otakubucks.

Mate they already ruined anime as a whole, the fuck do you think you are doing, talking to those people and taking them seriously?

[citation needed]
Also, no. Only Pokemon has been THAT bad in the past fifteen years. And they really fixed the encounter rate in gen6.

>>323166896
Literally what? There have been a dozen threads a week about how Zestiria a shit.

I know that feel, I'm playing Yakuza 5 right now.

>play JRPG
>the game gives you the option to turn off random encounters

Bravely Default had a great idea that I've never seen done in any JRPG before - Being able to turn enemy encounters up or down at MY discretion instead of wasting money on items to do that job, along with difficultyas well, that was a breathe of sweet fresh air.

I'll be honest though, I still unintentionally grind when I'm looking to fill out a map, I'm like lvl 48-50 and I'm only in chapter two.

>>323171724
I highly doubt this happened

Are there any jrpgs that don't have anime-tier character designs and that are worth playing?

And that's where your fault lies.

>>323164408
at least pokemon shows you where random encounters are gonna happen with the grass. It also has an item that stops random encounters all together.

>>323177167
Why would you want that? Anime tier character designs are what makes JRPGs so good. Go back to your manface gay nigger simulator Fallout 4.

It's people like you that ruin perfectly fine genres.

I like random encounters in games like Pokemon or SMT where you make enemies join your side.

You just described Star Ocean 4. You're retarded though, combat isn't turn based at all and requires much more than to press 2 buttons. Sounds like you didn't even play it but watched your favourite internet attention whore play it for you on youtube.

>>323161965
I'm glad you can turn random battle encounters off in the ports of FF7, 8 and 9 on Steam.

>>323179035
You could always do that in FF8 once you got Diablo, which is as early as you want.
