Couldn't play Kamidori... never managed to make it work QQ It doesn't, really... I mean, it is indeed a JRPG, but only in the most literal sense. This sort of games are eroges with gameplay, and have nothing to do with real JRPGs : p

Lies, they always work! Also, maybe instead of the web's link, try to right-click and copy the direct link of the image?

I blame you, too.

Is it me, or your images are almost always not working?

Spiritually blank posts. The olives are ashamed by this, Ouraibaa.

What do you mean "it started"? It still is! ;D

A Link Between Worlds. It was a sort of remake (but different, more like it was based on it) of an older one, if I remember correctly. The thing is: it got rated really high, between 8 and 9 mostly, yet it was horrid as a JRPG. The difficulty was insulting (I'm the opposite of hardcore when it comes to Zelda games, yet I only died like a couple times in the whole game, and all of those in a zone where you had to "guess" where to jump to, or fall and die to the lava), the story was super obvious and clichéd, and really short. Balanced only with lots of "extra" features like collecting thingies and such.

Don't you mean 11 then? xD

Well, we both know I'm the true JRPG leader here, that's why I dare! Mine is: complete the main story, have fun with the rest of the features. I really hate that since many people love the "I wanna achieve 100% features", many game producers have started making underqualified and short stories in exchnage for many extra side things to do. One good example could be the latest Zelda game, for example. It's SO short, yet they throw those hundreds of collectibles, so that they can still put a "x hours of gameplay" even if it's not true.

Pffff who's scared of a nubie like you <3

Yeah... guess it makes sense that they have already done their part to the world, but still : p This makes me remember when I used to play this sort of "old" games with my brother to compete who went faster. Like the first Golden Sun, or Final Fantasy Tactics A. It's quite funny to start a new game with a friend at the same time and comment how is it going to you, who's going faster, who has a better ranked clan, who got the best classes and skills, etc

Yeah... kinda trollish that you get taunted at the very begining with those weird "explosions", but the whole game is about smth else xD At least the dungeons were decently lenghty.

If i had to name a favourite bad guy it would clearly be Alex.Hes just that badass Really liked him and Saturos.

I really liked the story and characters. Only downside is, it's the first "episode" of a series of 3 games, and this is the only one released outside of Jp. Upside is, the second episode is scheduled to be released this year o: What sort of JRPG fan doesn't know one of the core games of the genre!? D:

If you are a newcomer to JRPG, then I recommend things like Tactics Ogre: Let us Clinb Together, P4G or The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky. They are all amazing, story-driven, with great characters and lenghty.

He's iin Disgaea 4, too. And not as a minor character! ;D

Ah, ofc, how could I even forget. Golden Sun 1 and 2, Disgaea 2 and 4...

Do you guys hate games that sacrifice content and side characters for customization (Etrian Odyssey and Demon Gaze, I'm looking at you)? P3 and P4G, Tactics Ogre: Let us Clinb Together, The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky... let me think more...

I wonder how many people have tried.

Or a Mon Mon.

Well yeah, but it's more about the person than the time. For example, the Tactics Ogre for the PSP has "bad graphics" in the eyes of critics and many people, but for a JRPG fan, they are spot on and fitting. And the game isn't any old.

There are many, but that statement doesn't make much sense unless you mean that in your eyes, not a single good JRPG has been released for the last decade?

I only play good JRPGs, not getting tied by their time.

If it butchers the game, then it's not an improved version. Improved directly implies better. There are actualized versions, HD versions, all that stuff. And they can be an improved version or not.
