What are some modern RPGs that are much more focused on mythology,

Age of Decadence

>>385079343
meh... you're better off looking into jrpgs for that shit.

>>385079343
Torment

>>385079343
SMT and Persona games.

I love the Devil Summoner series, especially Raidou and I also like Persona 2 games.

Talking/Negotiating with the demons is fun and you make friends that way.

I wouldn't even look at western RPGs at this point. I know them well and it's true they have too much untapped potential in that regard.

>>385079673
There is not a single JRPG that does even one of those things well.

>>385079786
that's hyperpessimistic and wrong.

>>385079767
>mythology, world building, and social decision
>recommend edgy pokemon

/v/ is fucked

>>385079404 has taken things further than any other game in the genre ever has, what the hell are you even talking about?

>>385079863
No, it's 100% correct. Souls is the only thing that comes close due to its NPC agency, detailed environmental story telling, and character progression, and that is barely a RPG.

>>385079903
you know what? blow it out of your ass, you complete faggot.

>muh Decadence

it's just one game in a long time that scratched the surface a little bit.

JRPGs are objectively bad and you can't defend them. Lurk for 2 more years and try again. Sorry sweetie.

/v/ disappoints me

I wonder if there's a good forum or subreddit that can actually talk about this stuff.

Fucking weebs

>>385080570
Just go to 2x4 or codex. /v/ is lost.

>>385079786
Are you fucking retarded? That's all JRPGs are goddamn good for.

Go play some fucking Suikoden now you ugly piece of shit.

>tfw the Ultima series was the last good thing Spoony did

>>385081071
I've played 1 and 2. They are mediocre and do not compare to WRPGs of yesteryear. All JRPGs are is anime storylines with a dev created MC, they are glorified VNs. Even the creators of Dragon Quest openly admitted they created the genre for people too dumb to play Ultima and Wizardry. You are literally playing a shittier, dumber knock offs of older WRPGs when you play JRPGs. How fucking dumb can you be?

>>385079343
>people forget the genre's roots
You mean in D&D where the only real sense of progression for characters is through combat encounters?

>>385081015
never heard of 2x4 and I can't find it. got a link?

>>385081516
>got a link?
close your eyes, think about handicapped midgets, and click your heels together 3 times

>>385081497
I'll tell you a secret about D&D, which is even more true for older editions. People house-rule everything they don't like about how a system works.

>>385081459
Yes they're anime storylines which is why they all have better plots and worldbuilding than your shitty Tolkien knockoffs

>>385081497
If your concept of progression is limited to stats and loot, sure.

>>385081497
It's pretty obvious you've never played DnD.
>play wizard
>get mage hand
>use mage hand to activate a trap before stepping over it
That's just one tint example of how you can feel a sense of progression outside combat.
>>385081751
I'm not that guy, but I've played the majority of jrpg greats. Not a single one came close to the depth of a good wrpg. I honestly think you're just an angry weeb.
