Hey /v/, what vidya makes you feel like you're on a grand adventure?
Okami
>>261966772
Wild Arms series, Dark Cloud and Star Ocean games, I guess.
>>261966772
your pic related is the closest ive ever gotten to feeeling like i was on a real adventure
Resident Evil 4 oddly.
It just feels like you are on such a ride, when I played it for the first time it had that odd hook of never really letting go, the pacing was intense. But well thought out.

The entire point of X was to make a grand adventure so I don't think you'll find anything that tops it for the feeling of actually travelling>
The entire game is literally about a pilgrimage, just buy the fucking HD collection and play that

Lots of jrpgs but the one you posted is one of the best for that feeling because the game is linear and intended to feel like an adventure across an entire continent
>>261967207
yup, that's about it. Lunar and Suikoden probably gave me the biggest adventure feels ever.
>>261967510
>one of the best for that feeling because the game is linear
How does being linear help at all?
Dragons Dogma
>>261967350
You go from place to place on foot, the entire journey is outlined before you begin so you're always aware of where you are going next. You can literally make your way from besaid to Zanarkand on foot using ferries and shit.
Characters slowly reveal themselves to you over the course of the game giving you a sense of bonding with them during your travels
all the amazing sights along the way and the general cozy feeling of Spira
The game is literally supposed to be about people going on a Journey to what is basically the end of the planet.
Ditching the world map was actually the best thing they could have done for this game

So what?
>The game is literally supposed to be about people going on a Journey to what is basically the end of the planet.
So? You're talking as if there are no other games that do that, and that there's no way for those games to do it better than FFX.
>>261967647
Because it is a journey, you can't just go back on to previous places whenever you want. You feel like you're always constantly moving towards your goal which is to travel to the other side of the world. Even though it is rather linear all the areas are extremely unique and memorable.
Atelier Totori.
Not even kidding.
>>261966772
When I started up Professor Layton VS Phoenix Wright the title music alone made me feel like it would be the adventure of a lifetime.It really was, I feel glad now I ignored importfags and europoors that said it was trash.
As for games that DO send you on a epic journey, Okami, every Zelda I played, Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits and FF games do the whole "grand adventure" think really well.
Gravity Rush was more limited in setting than entire continents, but boy was it a ride, didn't expect it when I started playing it.
Skies of Arcadia
Grandia 2

I don't have to justify my opinion, that's why it's opinion. Relax, you can disagree if you want. Tell OP a game with a better sense of adventure in your opinion
>>261968413
He's not going to do that, hes just here to cause conflict.
>>261968008
All great games especially Dragon Quest 8,Rogue Galaxy and FFXII, loves those games. Bought those games a few years back brand new on ebay for pretty cheap.

I supposed that the Summoners pilgrimage to become the Grand Summoner and the fact that everyone in the world is aware of your journey doesn't quite qualify it to be called a 'grand journey' huh?
I hate neo /v/, always creating arguments when there is no need
>>261966772
When you are just adventuring, and halfway through you become part of a greater thing.
Like in Devil Survivor, sure, there's no free roam, but the story is pretty engaging, and then you must save mankind.

So i'm right then? Considering you need to beat the game
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2

Dark Souls after a few playthroughs
You just end up wiggling your 2h ultra greatsword in the air, while doing ninja jumps in your smough suit, praising the sun with fellow sunbros.
>>261968828
Why do people say things about games they've never played before? If you'd played the game you'd know that you cannot just go back to places whenever you want, you need to continue your journey, there's a huge sense of urgency in the plot
>>261968837
Yeah, cause you know exactly what posts are mine, right?
>>261968903
What the fuck are you even talking about? I never even said that FFX wasn't an adventure. The issue is him saying that we wouldn't be able to find something better.
Jesus Christ, it was one tiny post I made in a second and everyone gets their fucking panties in a bunch.

Please stop posting.

Same, I got ffxii for like $5
>>261969602
If you're trying to pretend that was the argument then you know you lost it kek
He said something then justified it, people are still spazzing out about not understanding the definition of 'opinion'
>>261969610
He's not 16, you were correct in saying
>you're just sperging
He's autistic.
>>261969610

He said that, though.

You're the ones throwing fits here
>>261969784
That exactly what the argument was.
>>261969836
> I don't know what the word 'think' means
When somebody 'thinks' something they aren't stating it as fact, are you ready to accept that you're wrong about everything yet?
And yes you are throwing a tantrum, like 4 people have told you to shut up now kek

Yeah, so I asked him "why", and his reasoning was dumb and unsatisfactory. What are you argument about even?
>>261968627
Man, I love Suikoden 2. But i can't bring myself to enjoy the later game because the combat system is different.
Adventure, you say?
>>261966772
I can't believe one retard who failed to understand the word 'opinion' killed this thread

You caught me. I was never even pretending to be different people, but whatever.

No really. It felt like a really grand adventure.

You should try to play through 3, at least. It has the best story.
4 and 5 are really up in the air, though.
4 is considered the worst, generally, and 5 I just found to be a cheap imitation of II.
>>261970527
>everybody
I'd like to see you prove that.
OP here, FFX is a great game, it's very linear, some people like that aspect, but it's not for everyone. Linearity or lack of, is not a requirement for an adventure game. Stop being cocksuckers and talk about more games.
>>261971445
There's going to be a lot of talking and discussing in a thread where people just name video games they like.
>>261967150
>I don't think you'll find anything that tops it for the feeling of actually travelling>
Because it's boring and it takes forever for things to happen?
>>261970424
Both the GBA ones really did feel like a grand adventure. Though I haven't played them pretty much since they were released so I have no idea how they hold up now.
Kingdom Motherfucking Hearts. The original. Maybe not so much now because im a grown ass man, but in my youth... holy shit. mind blown. Was magical.

Pokemon Black, Skyward Sword, Terraria, Knights of the Old Republic.
>>261972083
>Pokemon Black, Skyward Sword
Why those particular games from the franchise
>>261971943
Yeah now that i think about it, the original had a much bigger sense of adventure because no one knew what the fuck was going on. In KH2 there was a set goal and you revisited familial places. In KH you were a kid who lost his home and friends and now you have a massive key.
Why do people love X for being one long corridor with no sidequests yet hate XIII for doing the same thing? In fact XIII did it better because they didn't stop every 2 seconds to could have the exact same fucking inner monologue for the entire game.
>>261972287
Because nostalgia.They were both awful.
>>261972287
The story and characters. Also FFX was fucking gorgeous by standards of games that came out.
>>261969361
Dont know why everyone else is being straight dickheads to you. You have a somewhat unique take and im glad you shared it.
/v/ will never be good again if all of us keep.being so confrontational.
>>261972390
Well I can agree to that
>>261972523
It's because he started it. You can't start something then expect others to respond kindly.
>>261972287
>the exact same fucking inner monologue for the entire game.
I fucking hated Tidus. Every time they stopped somewhere it was just
>Oh look, a butterfly
>Yuna talking about the butterfly reminded me of home. I think I was starting to realise to wonder if I'd ever get back there. Then I thought about how much I hated my old man.
>>261972523
Thanks, man.
>>261972651
What did I start? I was never aggressive.
>>261972191
They just happen to be my personal favorites, even if they arent technically the best.
I think Black's story does the best of making you feel vital to the story.Youre on an epic quest to stop Team Plasma from severing the bond between human and Pokemon forever.It's a lot more epic than "youre some ten year old who ended up saving the world somehow i guess"
And I liked how Skyward Sword's narrative played up the whole"Chosen Hero of the Goddess" thing, even if the gameplay made you feel more like"Chosen Errand Boy of the Goddess"
Tales of Symphonia/Vesperia
>>261971986
aaaand then you get to the combat.
>>261972787
For Black it's because for the first time the Elite 4 wasn't the goal with a pitstop of stop the bad guys. The game ended with the defeat of the bad guys.
>>261966772
READING IS DUMB.
SCREW QUESTS.
>>261972287
X had Wakka, Lulu and Auron being likable characters that developed along the way, XIII just had Sazh.
>>261973232
Wakka was pretty fucking stupid.
>>261972287
Crystarium vs Sphere Grid.
No redeeming characters in 13 compared to some in 10.
Blitzball was fun.
Premise to 10 was simple, 13s was convoluted as fuck.
There were memorable scenes and battles from 10. I cannot remember a single scene from 13 except maybe the fucking Shiva sisters turning into that god damn motorcycle.
>>261973160
True
What game is most like a shounen anime?
Specifically like DBZ, with unrelated plots and no real big bad.
>>261973232
>Lulu
>likable
what
>>261973232
>Vanille is not likable
Epic.
>>261972217
Exactly! back then when I wasnt a soul less fuck I remember playing destiny island and being absolutely fucking HYPE for the mysteries and new places that lie ahead of me.
No one in my friend group knew what the hell traverse town was or what the hell Sora was doing there and the places that game took you along the way were fresh and out of the blue.
Like flying through space Into a SPACE WHALE!! Fighting cloud AND hercules in the arena! Sliding down jungle logs! Hanging with jack skeleton in Halloween town.
all summed up with a moderatrly serious/somber conclusion.
Fuck, all of my feels anon.
>>261973323
>Crystarium vs Sphere Grid.
Same thing
>Blitzball was fun.
No.

Dragonquest 8 has the fucking best world map for a first play, you feel like you're exploring a really fantastic world.
On replays you can't capture the sense of adventure of the first play and the world can kinda feel quaint and smallish, but I mean I can't dock off points for that. It absolutely is designed to make the most of its world, and that first playthrough is still magical. And I wasn't a kid when I played it, I was like 20.
>>261972982
Is than Luke with Sheena?
>FFX
>good
There are people that actually believe this.
>>261973463
Are you fucking high that the Crystarium and Sphere Grid were the same thing to you? Yes, the Sphere Grid wasn't quite as free as it looked, but it wasn't just one single linear progression. My first play through, I dunno what the fuck happened to Tidus but he ended up somewhere else entirely and never learned any of the Time Mage crap he's supposed to.
Try doing that in FFXIII.
Believe it or not, the Metro series really made me feel like I was going on an adventure. Something about the first game where you start out as just some headstrong kid wanting to save his home and traveling into fucking hell to get it done. It was really appealing to me. The second one was great as well, I just liked all the detail put into the environments and how it was a linear game, but because of the setting (metro tunnels) it still felt like you were exploring.
>>261973463
>Same thing
The crystarium was just another corridor until later on the game where everyone gets all the jobs, but that was just pointless since if someone's been a mage for the whole game, you not going to start putting making them physical at that point in the game. The sphere grid at least gave you the illusion of choice, even though if you didn't just follow the path you were put on for that character you'd be fucked.

>>261973727

I would even say it was worse because in post game, all your characters end up being the same thing. At least FF13 had specific classes.
>>261973419
Hell man I'm going to step it up. I remember when the end goal WAS get back to Destiny Island. Where the only thing you wanted to get to was pic related.
>>261974101
>At least FF13 had specific classes.
Until end game where everyone unlocked all the classes.
>>261973681
>there are actually people that like a game that I don't like
shocking.
>>261973951
spoony plz go
Lost Odyssey
>>261974251
Not really. Those classes are hardly the same as the full on classes characters had from the beginning. It was more like a way to get some extra stats.
>>261972287
I hate both games.
>>261974251
So they're the same then. :^)

rogue galaxy is underrated i think

Bastion.
>>261975590I think Bastion was more of a deconstruction of grand adventures, but I'll give it to you
>>261974987
It definitely is, it was an amazing game and I never hear people talk about it. Also I forgot golden sun and tla
>>261974121
Need to get back to this awful job, but just know you're my nigga
>>261972287
X was only linear in the map and actually had customization and sidequests. The crystarium was a total joke and was just as much of a hallway as xiii itself was
>>261973323
I maybe could have slightly accepted xiii if it didn't have summons that turned into motorcycles and planes and shit
None
