>>78913246
to be fair it did get a sequel.

First game looks fun but I am worried since it's NISA.

Not because of the dialogue but because of any bugs.

Someone remind me how to take screenshots with the PS3. Please?

Someone said they managed to do it. Says that Xillia 2 has a screenshot mode but I'm sure he actually meant some kind of function in the PS3 menu.

>>78916201
I'll try that later. And places like Imgur are compatible with the PS3's web browser for easy uploading, right?

It it useful to horde weapons and armor in FFX or should I just sell the junk ones?

I have 50 bucks to spend, should i take Tales of Xillia, Resonance of Fate, or should i start on the Atelier saga?

Yeah, I saw that it was quite problematic to get the best ending so I'm playing with it for the characters, though most of the times the game forces me to pick whatever the fuck they want anyway.

Terra will be a playable character, calling it now.

In Xillia 2, how do people play as casters like Rowen, Milla, Muzet or Elize? It seems to me that you can't really get a good power combo going because of the long cast times...

>characters from previous games

Terra confirmed.

No Geis confirmed.

Dogi maybe? The games usually have two blunt characters anyway, one for fists and one for hammer. Would seem odd for the game to include two token jrpg bara characters though. Ys Seven did do that for more than half the game I guess.

In other words, it's not a problem right this instant?

And if it does happen, this should only take a few weeks to resolve, less if you're spending almost every moment not at work on it.

There's no reason why you can't get a small start while this is going on, either.

But given that you seem to be concerned with finding excuses than finding time to learn Japanese, you probably won't succeed.

Man, I forgot how bullshit GU Vol 1's story gets. Haseo is supposed to be an incredibly high-level player in terms of skill, but all of that gets completely thrown out the window just because the plot needs him to abuse Skeith in the arena.

And Alkaid just called him a cheater even though she somehow just pulled an awakening attack completely out of her ass (it was even during my own Beast Awakening), which everyone conveniently ignores.

Also, did weapon switching through skill trigger get added in Vol 2, or do I unlock it later in 1?

You get switching once you get Haseo's second form. Which I think is only in 2? I don't actually remember, but that was my favorite mechanic in that game.

>>78984252
Its not really about gitting gud. You just use gold dice, double down until you are around 40k plus then quit. If you don't make a decent amount per dice, then reload your save. Quick and easy. You can get more gold dice from doing contracts.

>>78985842
>You can get more gold dice from doing contracts.

all I have are generic contracts and most of the EX Monsters kill me

>>78986061
Then dunno what to say. If you can't handle poker, can't do the EX dungeon for money and dice, and can't pay off anymore debt for pots, you will either have to New game+ or grind affinity in battles.

>>78986351
>you will either have to New game+

that was my next idea. Just trying to get as many titles as I can before I make the jump

>all the ally command trophies new require 450 uses
WHY?

>>78986596
Still less grindy about trophies than the first game.

>>78987167
really? The other game you just neeed 150 (or was it 200 uses)

plus there is a 200 hit combo trophy

>>78987226
200 hit combos aren't that hard to do in ToX2.

>>78987338
my problem is that either everything dies or breaks out of the combo for no reason or gets knocked to the ground where the hits don't get registered

>>78987631
Yeah. You would need to use the minimum damage skill. But that makes it easy.

>Xillia 2

hold the fuck on, I wished for save Elle but I still got the "get rid of the fractured dimensions" ending

>>78988928
Thats the normal ending. The fractured dimsensions are always destroyed unless you get the bad end

>>78973808
Is luminous arc 3 translated?

>>78989489
but the ending cutscene wasn't different

I heard you get a different ending cutscene for the other option.

>>78988185
Yes.

>>78989589
Yeah, choosing to save Elle is the normal end, choosing to destroy the fractured dimensions gives the true end.

>>78988185
There's a good Compile game?

>>78989681
I thought it was the other way around. Animated scene I saw had Luger meeting the woman who would be Elle's mom

nothing about Old Rollo or anything like that

>>78988185
I want Quintet but I don't want to get a PS4 before Black Friday deals. I guess I'll be buying it without a way to play it.

>>78989827
I had actually forgot about Quintet. I was mostly talking about Neptunia VII and Fairy Fencer F's sequel.

>>78989791
Yes, that scene is the normal end. The other scene with old Rollo is the true end.

>>78990165
then how the fuck did I not get the true end?

>>78990369
Let me put it this way, if you chose the left option for the wish you get the normal end, if you chose the right option you get the true end.

Left is save Elle, Right is destroy the dimensions
If you choose to save Elle, Elle refuses and still wishes for the dimensions to be destroyed, and then she disappears. After, Ludger meets the woman who will be Elle's mom.

If you choose to destroy the dimensions, you can also choose to sacrifice yourself to save Elle. Elle then grows up with Rollo and keeps in touch with the rest of the party.

>>78990773
Oh, I see what happened.

I picked "destroy all dimensions" and then I scarified Elle

>>78990917
Ahh okay. There you go then.

>>78990773

It still felt really stupid though. I was choosing to save Elle, and Origin didn't grant that wish because we didn't both agree to it. Then Elle wishes herself away and Origin grants it without a word from Ludger

>>78973808
>Luminous Arc 1

Do you people play these games exclusively for the waifus? Because it must suck to play a game where you like the character design but almost every character has no depth and the story is absolute shit.

I cannot fathom how anybody can defend the plot of Luminous Arc.

It was downright awful from the very beginning. From the forced romance down to the shitty way they meet each other, terrible characters, horrendous plot twists that come out of nowhere, and terrible story overall. The only thing that kept me playing that game was the actually kind of cool tatics battle system, but holy shit I could not stomach another second of that story.

>>78998050

Xenoblade

>>78998050

Witch and the Hundred Knight, though I'm not sure it really counts as a role playing game.

Nier, definitely. Drakengard 3 if you liked Nier, though it also feels less RPG than straight up action game.

Star Ocean series (preferably the original version of 2, but to each their own).

.Hack series (G.U. for the better gameplay, though I haven't gone through the original quadrilogy)

Valhalla Knights series

Kingdom Herps series

Infinite Undiscovery (if you have a 360 of all things)

Eternal Sonata

The point of disgaea is not taking itself serious at all. This is pretty tame compared to most of the excuses for their antics. The problem is that it's a more comedy focused game now trying to be serious (not sure if a ruse though) while still keeping the comedic aspects.

>>79001124
Yeah, but I believe they'll be deuteragonist and tritagonist there.

It's hard. The only Tales game where it's easy to play a "caster" is Graces F. Pascal is fun as shit.

>>78992147
Also the elle grows up to dress like a slut.

>>78924212
Milla is easy. She can use her don't hold down the button artes and instant cast those altered artes. She later gets a skill that shortens the cast time of spells the longer your combo is, just like the graces combat.

>>79007618
As well as a skill that allows you to cast while in the air; a skill that lets you start casting, move, then continue the cast, and a few more.

If you prefer SRPGs get TO, if you want a unique title get Vagrant Story.

Vagrant Story has also the absolute best villain ever wrote by Matsuno and one of the best villains of Jrpgs in general.

TO is one of the best SRPGs ever, with great story and characters, lots of contents and a great gameplay.

Of course not, but the presence of political drama doesn't automatically make it good, either.

TO's problem is that the characters seemed to exist to push the plot forward, and the plot itself was pretty basic. The writing felt very rudimentary and bare-bones.

I don't see what's the problem, most of the western literature until recent times used that mindset.

>the plot itself was pretty basic.

What part of the plot you're talking about? The liberation of Valeria, the Dark Knights' plan or the Chaos Gates? Because all of those are intertwined really well and are connected excellently to MoTBQ and to a certain extent TKoL.

I really don't see how they're supposed to be bad.

Look at this creature's hand

>>79009265

No, characters should exist as people within their universe first. This in turn makes it more meaningful on several levels when the plot happens to them (or when they initiate it).

TO's characters didn't feel like people. They felt like plot devices.


>>79009418

It's been a while, and I honestly detached myself from the plot pretty early, so I don't remember it well, but I remember it being a generic mix of JRPG and political intrigue tropes. Corrupt leader, dark power, etc. And it jumped from point to point with a cast that seemed to exist to make it do just that. Even when it diverged a bit, i.e. by having the non-character MC slaughter civilians, it just lazily went through the motions of having the events happen.

>>79009940
>TO's characters didn't feel like people. They felt like plot devices.

What? Are you telling me that numbers in a program or letters in a page can somehow be the same as real people? Denam gets great character development, same with most of the other main characters, not to mention some parts which are not even related to the main plot like Nybeth's or Azelstan's which exist for the sake of those very characters and little else.

>it just lazily went through the motions of having the events happen.

What does that even mean? Most of the strong parts of the story are driven by the characters' decisions and personality, the entire Dark Knights' parts and interaction with the "main plot" are driven by Lancelot and his intuitions and feelings, same with characters like Leonard or Nybeth.
Any plot will need to be either character or event driven to proceed, and TO isn't any different.
Even the choices you make actually have an impact on character interaction and story progression, what else do you want?

I understand now why JRPGs had to die. They were too big a risk, not just for the studio but for the player-base as well. No one wants to sink 40 hours into a game only to find out there is no pay off and the end game is awful. There was no trust left with the few major JRPG devs left after Square died and SE started putting out stuff that turned people off. After Konami made their first bad Suikoden, after BoF became...Something Else. After Sakaguchi ran his name through the mud with Blue Dragon. After Triace ruined what tiny bit of good was there in Star Ocean.

Hey fellas what are some JRPGs where you can create or completely customize(looks) your character?

I'm playing through Fire Emblem Awakening where you make an avatar, and you make an avatar in those White Knight Chronicle games. I kind of like it.

Also how do stats work in this game exactly? Is it like BD where your stats change in accordance to your level and job level? In other words, the jobs growth value doesn't actually factor into the characters growth in stats.

His constant spamming of the Ferguson happenings were getting annoying, but this is the stupidest thing I've seen from him.

He's been completely brainwashed, makes me feel sorry for the english Kiseki bros. I'd be disgusted with myself if I had to buy anything he's worked on. Be grateful you have Tom checking on him so he doesn't go full politically correct on the translation

Not even towel bath lolis were this retarded.

>Game with no advertising that nobody in the west heard of sold because my name (which has nothing to do with my company name that's displayed on the Steam page) sounds white and not because it's a good game, with a good localization
Maybe it's actually some super next level modesty that we just don't understand.

Oh, who am I kidding, he's just fucking insane.

"Coverage" does not mean "sales".

He just released a quirky japanese game when steam was pretty much devoid of them, It was obvious the weeaboos were going to eat that up. Then the normalfags realized it was actually a fun game by word of mouth and constant thread spamming, and jumped on it.

His name, his person, the colour of his skin had absolutely nothing to do with Recettear's success. But the guy has gone bonkers with all that white guilt shit he keeps eating

So not only is he full of himself, he's a fucking idiot to boot.

So I'm playing Ys Celceta finally and i have a question.

Is it worth it to walk around and talk to EVERYONE? Because I always have the OCD to do that in games, but with Ys games I always just wanna cut right to the gameplay. Talking to everyone was never a pain in the old games because the towns were so small. But with this and 7 it takes ages and i don't remember getting much out of it in 7.

I don't think you get much out of it outside of a missable quest or two.

>not learning Japanese after all of the censorship incidents recently
>not to mention all of the other bonuses

I'm not going to say that you're getting what you deserve because you don't know Japanese, or that you shouldn't be angry or disgusted that these ego-tripping nutjobs are the people who staff localization companies, but the facts are that they've shown that they don't much care about the consumer's anger, and some of these companies would sooner close their doors than give the consumer what they want, with no guarantee that someone better would show up to take their place.

The only ways to get away from them are to either cut out of the equation by learning Japanese or leave niche Japanese games behind entirely.
