Jrpg or wrpg? Which games have better combat?

JRPG, let's be real here. I'd take cookie cutter turn based combat over some floaty aborted attempt at action combat

Wrpgs. The only good jrpg is dark souls and that is only because it is based of Wrpgs.

>>390039543
Depends on the game

>>390039712
Dark Souls isn't a JRPG, it's the 3D equivalent of games like Ghosts 'n Goblins.

>>390039927
It was developed in Tokyo anon. It is a Japanese role playing game.

Depends on what I'm looking to play because these two genres ares so split apart from each other they're barely comparable.

>>390039543
I enjoy combat in western cRPGs more, but generally what >>390039852 said.
Also, comparing incredibly diverse genre based only on country of origin is retarded. At least narrow category a bit more.

>>390040202
Speaking solely from a genre perspective it's a WRPG.

Games like Grandia and even Valkyrie Profile make turn based combat a lot more interesting than just blending bad action gameplay with levels and stats. The JRPG equivalent of that shitty combat would be some real time ones like .hack and Radiata Stories.

Either can be good, most are horrible regardless.
Bravely Default isn't bad because its gameplay is uninspired, it's bad because the writing and graphics are nonsense and fuck ugly, respectively.
The Witcher 3 isn't because the gameplay is as basic as watered down as every other Action-Adventure title, it's bad because the writing for the majority of the game is a literary trainwreck. Oh and downgradegate.

There are bigger things at stake for "RPGs" than combat, or at least there should be. The problem is that lazy developers emphasize combat above all else, and then fail to even fucking deliver engaging combat. Hell, I'd be grateful if Action-Adventure games could even bother to have decent combat.

I don't mind turn based combat, as long as movement matters (think XCOM). Turn based combat where you just have 4 dudes in a line looking at another line of 4 dudes taking turns swinging at eachother is incredibly fucking boring.

>>390040639

If made in Japan = jRPG

If made in the West = wRPG

Why aren't more Western RPGs turn based?
Tabletop D&D pretty much invented turn based RPGs but all of its western derivatives are real-time.

I like both western and eastern games but I'd like to see more turn based from the west. Japan actually has a good mix of both styles.

It looks to be shaping into a hot mess but if any of you know the one, laugh at it with me. Also wonder how it'll play.

This, it's amazing that system hasn't been copied, it's so much fucking fun. Grandia as a series is super dead so that system is ripe for the picking too. Just make some of the pre-rendered animations shorter or skippable and you've got a picture perfect JRPG battle system. Shame the game was so easy even on its hard mode, I would really liked to have grit my teeth trying to beat a genuinely hard boss in that battle system

The only AAA JRPGs are FF and maybe DQ, so the genre doesn't really have AAA problem. And I'm really glad that JRPGs are niche enough and we're getting plenty of great diverse games that don't try to appeal to normalfags.

But that's a fallacy.
Take a look at Darkest Dungeon, for instance.
Western visuals with jrpg combat, the best of both worlds.

>>390041247
That's because western devs are too occupied with cinematic presentation that they forget to make the design fair and readable. In western action games I have no idea what the fuck is up with the hit/hurtboxes and then the game drops a dozen enemies on you and they all chain AOEs that your evading move doesn't have enough distance or i-frames for.

Shit like every game released by Compile Heart or games we'll never get hear like Omega Labyrinth. MeiQ, the hordes of DRPG that have come out in recent years.

Matsuno story and design, Yoshida artwork, Platinum programming, Sakimoto music, all come together for the first time ever and it's a fucking mobage.

Depends on the game. Turn based strategy can be nice, just as action combat can be. Of course the reverse is true where turn based can be stupidly easy and action combat can be clunky and poorly made as well.

>>390041659
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5rFiJmtWRo

Basically every character and enemy moves along an action bar in combat, once you reach the middle of the bar you take your turn, but every action has a little windup period you can see on the bar. You can hit enemies with certain cancel attacks when they're winding to prevent them from attacking and vice versa for them.

>95% of the %genre_name% games are shit
Wow, who could have thought. The same applies to any genre.

WRPG and JRPG are very different genres and I'd say that the combat comparison is a bit unfair because the focus of the game in WRPGs isn't usually in combat. WRPGs are usually P&P RPG simulators while JRPGs embrace their video game nature completely. I personally enjoy both and I don't think that rating WRPGs by JRPG standards or vice versa is very productive because the genre philosophies are so different. For pure number crunching JRPGs are generally better though because they're usually built up from that point of view.

I really like some WRPG combat systems too, like the old Fallouts are fun despite there being very little balancing. It's just fun to make builds.

That being said I think that WRPGs have also kinda lost their sense of what they should be doing, most WRPGs nowadays seem to abandon what made the genre cool in the first place. I had hopes for the Witcher series to fix this but nope, they went the completely different route. I still kinda like the games but they aren't the sort of RPGs I was hoping them to be.

>>390042481

>>390042724
>JRPGs embrace their video game nature completely.
Not really. Most of them are rather linear and uninteractive. I can think of maybe 2 or 3 JRPG titles that use medium to their best. More WRPGs come to mind on that topic.
Main feature of video game media is input from player, which most of classic western RPGs use really well due to tabletop roots. And while narrative may not be as focused as in JRPGs, they respect player's agency, which is a key to use this medium to its fullest.

>That being said I think that WRPGs have also kinda lost their sense of what they should be doing
Not anymore. At least now there are a lot of great niche titles that are true to their roots.

>>390043496
What are you even trying to say retard.
DaS 1 is too slow and clunky, DaS 2 was better but not by much.

All enemies dodge better than you. No action dodge. Can't riposte estus or even backstab somebody who's drinking. All attacks from enemies are sideswipes and delayed overheads. Basic weapon moveset among 80% of the weapons are exactly the same. The DLC weapons are pretty good but Bloodborne's DLC weapons are better on top of having different basic and strong attacks.

That's true, WRPGs often give more player agency. However I think that JRPGs generally have more focus on the GAME mentality, where you can and you're supposed to get better at the thing you're playing. WRPGs (ideally) are more like sandboxes where you can do whatever you want with the game world within the limits of your character, JRPG give you challenges and clear rules which you're supposed to bend for your own success. They're both using their medium well, just in a very different way. I guess this simulation vs tight focus on one thing applies to the differences between good western and japanese game development overall, but I might be stretching here a bit.

And again I want to emphasize that I like both genres and both Western and Japanese games, I just feel like there's a big cultural gap between those who grew up with Jap games and those who grew up with Western ones (whether you were a console or a PC player probably matters a lot here, especially if you started before the 6th or 7th console gen). The typical JRPG fan might wonder why there is a lot of player agency in the first place if the game is easily broken by it and the typical WRPG fan might wonder why an RPG is considered good if you can't solve conflicts in a nonviolent way or play a role, for instance.

One does not exclude the other. Also, many can't stand turn-based because they see it as slow when that really depends on case-by-case basis. Suikoden 1 and 2, for example, have really fast turn-based combat.

>>390044584
Here's the thing: JRPG is not a genre. Same as WRPG. LRPG is a genre. SRPG is a genre. LRPG is a genre. Dungeon crawler is a genre. Yes, any game of those genres made in Japan is a JRPG.

>>390044718
>You don't like big weapons so you are using a shield, try to actually block lol.
I never said DS3 was hard, I said its tedious and annoying. If I had poise I wouldn't have to treat every trash enemy in the game like they are a fucking problem just because no matter how strong I get everything can still stagger me.

DaS3 doesn't have that feeling of progression, you can't go back to old areas and feel like your character is a fucking monster now when 30 levels ago those enemies bashed you around like a ragdoll because they can still fucking bash you around like a ragdoll, you just do more damage.

I fucking loved exploring and getting to feel like I was getting stronger because of how much higher my poise was in DaS1
I get that you think Souls is some kind of test of mettle for some reason even though the games are easy, and for some reason you think removing poise is a good thing, but I think it makes the games less fun and made the experience worse for me.

It added nothing and just made the particular playstyle and build that I liked the most less fun. They also ruined Pyromancy by making it scale off of a fucking magic stat, when the entire fucking point of pyromancy was that it was spells you could cast that didn't require a stat

>>390044991
>>390045043
Wrong, you get at least 4 estus per level, some times up to 6.

>>390044992
LRPG = (Rules-)Light RPG. RPGs with turn-based or speed-based combat. Suikoden belongs to this genre.
SRPG = (War) Simulation RPG (aka Tactical RPG or Strategy RPG in the West).

>>390045181
don't spread blatant misinformation retard, i've played ds3 on regular basis including no bonfire runs and you're blatantly wrong

>>390044795
>Using gems in das2
Literally suicide
They are so slow to use and heal, that you get killed 10x times in that time
Can't be compared to the humanity in das(and first rats drop it) or das3 insane estus speed, also every area has at least 2-3 mobs that will give you free charges.
Das2 is the only soulsborne game that did healing right, I loved how it was possible to parry vials in borne too, but no one could stop you from chunking it in the pvp

I played das3 twice and cant remember enemies dropping estus flasks..

>>390041236

i doubt any of them even know what it really means anymore

>>390045257
>>390045181
>>390045405

It depends on how many other people are playing, you get an estus refresh when someone else online uses an estus in that area IIRC

If you played the game at launch you almost never ran out of estus, I can't imagine you get that many now that the game is dead

>>390045319
nothing in ds2 can touch you if you simply backpedal while popping a lifegem
for some retarded reason you retain mobility with them and almost no enemy can counter backpedaling because everything in ds2 is designed like shit

I envy you. For some reason JRPGs don't click with me that much despite trying a wide arrange of titles.

wrong you just walk backwards use a life gem or 2 and heal

>>390045862
cry me a river you piece of shit
to get a single charge of estus from enemies in ds3 you need to murder a third of the location, the only other way to replenish it is either parting flame weapon art or killing an invader so if you were getting tons of flasks it's probably because your retarded coop team was ganking invaders

Old WRPGs > JRPG > CRPG >Nu WRPG

>>390045405
They don't "drop" them per se.

You get a sound and your estus count increase by 1 unless you didn't use any.

Fighting games, objectively. This cannot be disputed.

Fightning games of course because I am a fucking weeb and hate motorsports. I think that every car game is a sim and I do not realize the technicality of shifting and drifting.

>wich is better, Racing games or Fighting games
Racing sims, obviously. They are way more complex and fun.

>>390048859
but that is how it is no?

Western. Weebshit has no mechanical depth or challenge. Just push x whenever you feel like it and things die.

>>390048897
Not necessarily. I just like more direct confrontation. At the olympics I'll watch boxing but not a race. Seeing who can do a thing better is less interesting to me than direct competition, if that makes sense. I don't think weebyness comes into it at all, though I'll admit a car to me is just a way to get from a to b.

I have never played a JRPG that is not rock-paper-scissors boring bullshit and also I have nothing against turn based combat but in games like FF it's super fucking long and feels like I'm wasting my time more than I already do. So WRPG for me.

Both JRPG and WRPG combat has mostly gone to shit now because it's just more and more real-time action.

God fuck, I remember that you could straight up perfect bosses without even needing to get grossly overleveled if you just managed your turns carefully. Spacing so you can reach enemies but they can't reach you, combos attacks to stagger speed during ACT, and then timing a cancel attack to fuck up someone's entire turn.

If a boss was ever alone, it was an absolute bloodbath.

WRPGs have always, on average, had the best combat.

JRPGs have always, on average, had the best stories.

These are irrefutable facts. The west has always focused on improving player interaction, and the east has always focused on a powerful narrative to drive the game. If you unironically think JRPGs have better combat, or that WRPGs have better stories, then you are a fucking idiot. You are entitled to your idiot opinion on what you like more, but the polls are closed on what has better combat/story.

A better example would be saving Tandi in Fallout. You can shoot every raider, use money, challenge the leader to fistfight, talk your way out, just fetch her in plain sight with leather jacket and high luck, sneak in and pick the door or sneak in and blow up the door with dynamite.
