Son, if you have any questions about game mechanics, feel free

Really bad thread, my dude. Back to the drawing board.

>want to start a JRPG
>know I'll have to sit through two hours of tutorial before the game gives me enough shit to make the combat tolerable

Play older JRPGs

Is there a single JRPG where your dad *isn't* dead by the end of the tutorial?

>>387315504
but I don't like /ic/

>>387315838
/ic/ doesn't draw. He's talking about /i/!

>>387315978
that's the dead board, anon

>>387315763
legitimately want to know this

literally every JRPG has your dad/mentor/father figure die within the first hour or so of the game

>>387315763
earthbound

>>387315763
Plenty
But then he's just absent for non-specified reasons

>>387315763

The true challenge is finding a JRPG main who has two healthy parents who aren't seperated, dead, or dying and stay that way through the entirety of the game.

???

Persona 4 and 5.

Are you being serious?
It's a JRPG because
>made in japan
>roster of hundreds of monsters/characters to use in a party
>your monsters/characters level up and have unique stats
>you fight with your monsters in turn-based battles
>many fights are random encounters
>there are hundreds of items to use during battle and items that your monsters can equip
I'm pretty sure it ticks all of the boxes of what is a JRPG

>>387315763
Trails in the Sky

>>387316431
I'm assuming sequels to existing stories don't count and that both parents have to appear in the game and be biologically related to the main: Atelier Annie.

That was indeed a real challenge

If you don't dislike RPGs with a ridiculously slow pace, sure.

>>387317583
I survived Doomguy's Bizare Adventure and Etrian Odyssey 3. Should those count?

>>387317661
EO games are fucking tight, thanks for reminding me to love my 3DS some more, keep forgetting I got the flashcart for DS games on it.

>>387316140
Your dad is long dead, the voice you hear in the telephone is just a hallucination.

>>387317479
The magic animations are super slow so I played the game with Cheat Engine speedhack and enjoyed it

Son, I just wanted to tell you you are a disappointment and I wish you were aborted.

>>387317776
