I've been going through my first playthrough of FF7. Even though the game's been spoiled to hell and back for me I'm really liking the story, although I can't stop wondering how badly they'll fuck everything up in the remake whenever there's a story bit I like.

I'm playing Yakuza Kiwami and I'm looking forward to SMTV and KH3. I want Atlus to remake the first two SMT games.

I enjoy it but not in jrpg, they're just too braindead and repetitive most of the time

>>389605148
yeah I like turn based games. it's fun going in with a strategy and picking what I think is optimal without having to always be so uptight and worry about execution. was persona 5 actually almost an ARPG?

>>389605556
http://personacentral.com/persona-5-action-combat-concept/

it was considered.

>>389605708
glad they didn't do that. I want atlus to make a NEW ARPG like Raidou sequel or something, not turn their turn-based main titles into that.

Action RPG's are often just straight up shit. If I want the action aspect I'd play a better action game, if I want the RPG aspect I play turn based.

Action RPG's are put in a silly position. If you want it to at least be a somewhat competent action game then the RPG elements will essentially be non-existent since player skill will trump any RPG elements. If you put RPG elements at the fore-front then the action segments will be crippled due to absurdly low damage that makes battles more about attrition to seeing your player model hitting enemies but having it register as a miss.

This isn't even mentioning how often trash encounters are, how bad level design often is, and so on in action RPGs.

>>389606194

I finished P5 a few months back. I fucking loved it. playing Persona 4 on pcsx2 right now. I can't get into P3 because the mechanics of the game are just too outdated since I spoiled the persona experience by playing through 5 first. I'm considering on watching the P3 anime instead of playing through it (last time I played p3 I got to around floor 20 of tarturus).

>>389606412

Replaying P4. It's not my favorite of 3, 4, or 5 but the pacing is much better than the other two.

>>389605148
Yes, I prefer it greatly. Have yet to be impressed by a JRPG with action gameplay. FFXV and FF Typo were both games that felt like shitty watered down action games and the gameplay dragged the story down with it. If I wanted to play an action game, I'd play an action game. Action battle systems are for non-fans that only like the idea of playing a JRPG but don't actually like anything about them.

>>389606587
thats why i have always said to people to start with P4. P4 is a refined version of P3. P3 needs its remake its so outdated

>>389606587
Persona 3 Portable at least lets you control your party members, if that's the main thing that's bugging you.

>>389605148
I love Persona 5's because it has a really good speed and rhythm to it, and the UI is so damn nice to look at that I don't mind seeing it as often as I do. Overall I think I'd prefer more ARPGs, but only if they adopt proper action combat systems like KH or Nier did rather than trying to be whatever the fuck they were thinking with FFXV.

Currently working on Yakuza 0, and was considering either finishing up Digimon: Cyber Sleuth or starting on Dragon Quest VII. I also want to do a second run-through of P5, but my time is going to be limited due to starting up a new fulltime job.

I also need to finish up Xenoblade Chronicles emulated, but I get the feeling that Xenoblade 2 is going to be delayed until 2018.

>In the initial planning, there was an idea of diverging from the routes “Persona 3” and “Persona 4” took. “Self-discovery” and “journey” were the two keywords for the project, with an image of jumping out of school and taking a journey into the outside world.

>We were beginning to implement this idea, but at the stage where it came to solidifying the foundation of the scenario and direction, the Great East Japan earthquake occurred, greatly changing the entire situation in Japan.

If it wasn't for this fucking earthquake we could have had a Persona about traveling the world, fml senpai, I want to change timelines.

Am I feeling wrong or is Persona 4 a bit slow compared to today's games? I'm emulating so maybe I fucked up something

Is P5 any good on the PS3? Is the downgrade sizeable enough to justify finally getting a PS4?

>>389608315
I played on the PS3, never even saw the PS4 version, for me at least it didn't feel like a poor version of anything. Really great game.

>>389608445
this. the ps4 is the new Vita.

>>389608445
I'll get to it eventually. I keep my PS3 on my desk hooked up to my monitor though and I use it constantly for all the HD rereleases I got for it so a PS4 really will never properly replace it.

No its not, every game is coming to steam and also way cheaper on the steam.

PS4 only has P5 and Bloodborne to justify it, it isn't enough.

At least if their prices were the same as steam, but games on the ps store cost so fucking much.

>>389608117
Mostly plot and characters. I thought the twist at the end was bad and didn't make any sense from your character's perspective, the villains turned out to be really weak, the party didn't feel like friends and had an extremely repetitive group dynamic, and all of the social links were menial and had magical brainwashing instead of character development.

But honestly I have complaints with almost every part of the game.

>>389608315
>Is P5 any good on the PS3?
yes it's just fine. the ps4 version just looks a bit better on the eyes.

What are some games with good turn-based combat?
I fucking love turn based games

>>389608706
do you allow yourself to have fun once in a while? what is a game you truly liked?

I mean, I also saw a lot of things I didn't like about P5, but there were so many things I did like, you gotta take the good and not the bad man.

>>389608734
Have you played the Mother/Earthbound series? I'm playing Mother 3 on the side. it's real nice. Also, if you liked Chrono Trigger, check out I am Setsuna. it's battle system is based off of Chrono Trigger

Should I play FFXII or Vagrant Story?

>>389609139
Vagrant Story.

>>389606660
There's an extra hard difficulty that makes it to where you don't have a party in Ys VIII, I believe

>>389605148
Turn-based combat is becoming a rarity these days, especially in major titles, so yes. Its refreshing.

>>389609139
If you get into FFXII, get the International Zodiac Version, or the new remaster.

>>389608734

The cherry on top is when you have access to ez reaper farming to make endgame effortless. Even the reaper cheesing in P3 wasn't as hilariously broken, and didn't skyrocket you to the level cap.

At least in P5 it's relatively conditional.

The only condition for Reaper farming in P3 was "Have Odin"

If you liked the combat system, then you will probably like I am Setsuna. I can't speak for the story, since I have yet to fully play the game, but it looks pretty solid as a game, especially if it got a port to switch recently. it must mean it's not complete shit to say the least. I'll definitely complete my play through someday

Even so the original complaint was the party system, which Origin doesn't have. If your favorite Ys is Origin then you should presumably want more Ys games in the line of Oath/Origin rather than the party system that it's currently going for.

I wouldn't know. I only played it for a couple of hours because the combat sucked.

I just finished Utawarerumono 3, was a fantastic, painful ride. It pulled on my emotions far more than what I though it was going to do. It left me mostly satisfied as a long time fan of the series. As for what's next on the chopping block, I'd prefer to pick myself back together before I think. I'd likely say Dungeon Travelers 2, SRW V, or Tears to Tiara.
