>that emptiness after you finish a long RPG

I was so depressed after finishing persona 5

If it's a good rpg you feel satisfaction, not emptiness.

I experience this feeling at least once a year.

Fuck me, I felt genuine love for these characters. I'm just glad every installment is like 80 fucking hours long.

I found it funny in 3rd that the flashbacks clearly show Joshua with intent to go travel the continent completely alone, but you know that somewhere along the way, Estelle had to have convinced him that she was going too, since she's with him in the present, which is a really sweet thought. This is the only het couple I 100% approve of.

Finished both Bravely games a few days ago, still don't know what to play in, already played in massive amount of JRPGs from all platforms.
I think Edea/Ringabel scene in Second is what hit me the most and i really fucking wish a third game with Ringabel as a protagonist.

I think that the best is 3rd but you really need to play in previous ones to fully understand it as it acts as an epilogue with arguably the best Trails protagonist.

Out of the Sky trilogy, FC is the best story-wise (but there are moments that really, really shine in SC and 3rd), but 3rd is the best in terms of gameplay.

You cannot do that and expect any grain of enjoyment out of it. This is not a game you play for the gameplay.

Play FC first or you will ruin anything the series has to offer.

I also started the Beyond Skyrim mod but for some reason, i get massive performance drops while the base game and other bigger mods like Darkend, and Falskaar worked without any problems.

Yeah, I've been co-oping Berseria with a couple real life friends over the past few months and I always look forward to playing so the length is very welcome. Was the same story with Symphonia over a decade ago which got me into the series. I can't imagine playing them alone but they're probably my favorite JRPGs overall since the multiplayer is so fun.

>>383402435
Well there's still a lot of content you haven't explored, even if you went full autismal completionist and danced around the conflicting faction quests to become the leader of as many as possible, you still at the very least have two great houses, vampire clans, and quests that you only completed one way like the later Fighters Guild stuff or the House Hlaalu corruption quests. Best thing to do for a second playthrough in Morrowind is a pure mage, since it's very difficult to start out as a new player but when you understand the mechanics it becomes the most fun playstyle by far. Plus as a vampire you can still join and do many Mages Guild and Telvanni quests, making them the ideal factions to work in while you finish up your bloodline and the non-faction-related vampire quests scattered around the world before finding the cure and finishing the rest of the game.

That's the interesting thing about Bethesda RPGs in general, since with the exception of Arena the main quests are a small fraction of the total content and there's so much shit to do in a nonlinear way that you can just play them until you get completely sick of them. Perhaps that's why so many people end up with 200+ hours played yet a poor overall impression of their experience; they were just very bored by the time they stopped since there was no satisfying "I'm done now" point you get with most other games.

The data mining of the Persona status reveals that his other Persona, Loki, belongs to the Justice Arcana like Robin Hood, Akechi's signature Arcana. That means there is no indication of him being able to possess Personas of other Arcana, another defining trait of the Wild Card Persona User.

There is no greater feel of sorrow than investing over 400 hours into the series, spanning 6 games, and being unable to play anymore because they're not in english or they haven't come out yet.

>>383413883
For me, it's not being depressed. It's more close to feeling the post-vacation blues. Persona games do this very well because it's tied to a day-by-day schedule. Once you've played one, you know what to expect almost from the others. It really got to me when I was closing in towards the end of P5. I stopped playing it at shido's palace for a few weeks, then picked it back up and finished it.

I'll play newgame+ with P5 one day. in the meantime, I'm still considering on either finishing up my p4 playthrough or playing P3FES first.

Having mad fun with solo Berseria
Anyway my bro is who I usually play with and he's not much into jrpgs
We were playing vesperia when it came out ages ago and I could see that he was bored by not having a chance to play except for battles
