Anyone else burnt out on JRPGs? It feels like they never innovate [except Final Fantasy]. Everything that comes out now is generic moe blob grind fiesta with ridiculous melodrama and worn out anime tropes. Maybe ImI'm outgrowing the weeb phase but is anyone else feeling the same way?

Game came bundled with the S1 BDs. It's some RPGmaker game with a couple nice jokes from the show.

S2 got something much better.

this looks familiar
>googles

oooohhhh, it's made by the same guy who did hero & daughter, that game is fucking hilarious

you play as a hero who has been strip of all his power so in order to defeat the demon lord he collects anime girls as party members, it's stupid and lot of fun

>new jrpg is released
>cover has underaged scantily clad moe girl holding sword twice her size
>generic title like "Histria Chronicles Ex Fantasia"
>Mandatory anime intro with tasteless ecchi to lure weebswee
>storytelling is actually visual novel bullshit like Neptunia
>skip all the crap and proceed to obligatory, convoluted and poorly executed tutorial of game mechanics
>Very first quest is a fetch quest in some forest
>Things aren't too bad until 10th or when you have to start grinding for levels, item ingredients and redo dungeons for fetch quests
>As the story progresses it gets even more ridiculous and filled with cringrworthy melodrama
>Realise that the game will only get worse so you proceed to uninstall it immediately

Every time..

To be fair, most games have trouble with basic concepts like turn based battles.

>>386590660
I only play a handful of them so no, not really.

Stop playing low budget jrpgs. They do absolutely nothing well except waste time.

My Vita killed this genre for me because I played too many.

Something is incoming, Megumin and Kazuma's VAs confirmed a new animation project very recently.

Stop playing JRPGs for a while, what's wrong with you? No duh its not fun anymore, they need hundreds of hours!

except sometimes FF tries to innovate and fails. Like with XV
>>
>>386592217
Yeah, you can find a fan translation for it somewhere.
>>
>>386590660
Play Miitopia
Seriously.
Shit's fun and reminded me of why I started playing these sorts of games in the first place.

JRPGs fell into the horrible rut that they are still stuck into today back on the PS2. There hasn't been any real changes to the genre and the devs and publishers who ship these games know they don't have to. They sell romance options with waifus to an increadibly loyal and obsessive fan base and make consistent money. Everything else(Graphics, story, gameplay) is secondary and suffers horribly because of it.

Innovation is overrated

JRPGs aren't supposed to innovate. They're the manga of video games.

Anon...

>>386593929
JRPGs did innovate. If you look at how they've changed over time, you can't deny this. Just because people without a budget are forced to create their games several generations behind, doesn't mean they didn't.

You poor faggots only play FF and the flavour of the month game and think you know anything about an entire genre.
Then when you get a game that is different from the run of the mill JRPG or that doesn't have shiny graphics you say that it's shit.
Usual discount hypocrisy, as expected from /v/

If you want to play something off the beaten path then play some games from the SaGa series.

It's typically the people who know the least about a topic, that criticize it the most. I guarantee you this is true in a majority of the cases you see here on /v/
