D&D Basic

>>54156493
Strike!

One of the japanese systems maybe?

>>54156669
Which ones are translated besides Ryuutama? I like RT, but I think that captures a different flavor than that of high heroics fantasy

>>54156722
*FULLY translated. I appreciate effort, but I don't mean "anon translated 'most' of the core rules once in a poorly formatted text file"

So a game that has a bunch of meaningless math backed up by overblown numbers, where actions are restricted only to certain maneuvers, and where players have no agency?

Hey, buddy, if I wanted your grossly oversimplified obvious observations of only the negative aspects, I would have posted this thread in reddit.

>>54157586
D&D 4th?

>>54157739
But anon, you did.

>>54157739
So give me the positive ones.
Because, as I see it, jRPGs are akin to playing a boragame and narrating an unrelated plot over it, regardless of the outcome of the game.

>>54157586
I don't think he want to play Pathfinder, anon.

>>54157896
>So give me the positive ones.
waifus, waifu(male), music, scenery, storyline

JRPGs are better at exploration and secrets than any other type of video game RPGs

>>54156493
D&D really, its anime trash. Magic doesn't make any fucking sense.

I mean for fucks sake, there is a fucking RESURRECTION spell in the rulebook lmao

GURPS

Martial arts with all cinematics enabled
Powers ups
Powers as advantages
Enhancement powers
Low+high-tech for the lolanime techlevels


House XP
Handwave healing and recovery
Housekeep wealth and assets

Skip the magic book.
Read up on the reaction/jobhunting/hirelings/travel time/skilltraining tables

Boom simple. A tiny bit of fluff and pinch of DM effort.
3 year session guaranteed. Basically plays itself.

>>54156493
Retro Phaze or Super Console are specifically built for that purpose. Haven't tried them, I just know they exist. Enjoy.

>>54159575
I've tried them. Honestly I wish they didn't exist. They don't capture the feeling quite right, and Super Console is just a huge unfun mess. Retro Phaze is alright if you specifically want to recreate Final Fantasy 1 and nothing else.

You can't be serious, mate.

>>54158245
True, but how is it related to tabletop games? All of these are pure fluff with not a bit of crunch to it, and the fluff is GM's responsibility, not the system's.

>>54159575
Really? I read Super Console last week and it seemed like fun.

>>54156569
I second the FFRPG 4th edition suggestion.

>>54167438
Have you played it? Is it any good? Can you tell me more about it before I dive into a 125 page pdf?

>>54169625

It is the most intuitive Final Fantasy RPG out there. If you don't want to read it all, just read pages 7-17, plus 103-114. Those 21 pages contain all rules for the game you should learn. The rest of the 100 pages are simply lists, lists and more lists (Jobs, Spells, Items, Monsters...)

>>54156493

There is a vídeo overview of several systems here, including some pathfinder final fantasy:

4e is PERFECT for that.

>>54163977
Try play any popular JRPG tabletop or video game.
It's popular for a reason.

>>54156493

There's Retro Phaze also. You might try it for a 8-bit feeling.
