What RPGs are out there like Final Fantasy 1 or Etrian Odyssey, where you select a silent protagonist party, and those characters don't have a distinctly set personality and/or appearance?
>>

Dragon Quest 9 and 3.
Though 3's hero has a set personality/class but is silent.

have fun spending an hour on the character select screen trying to build a balanced party
>>
>>318367167
Might and Magic series. Although I think starting 8 or 7 you only create your main character, and have to recruit other party members.

I like swords.

>>318367291
Is it possible to play this game in turn-based mode? I really didn't like how in the first game you had to constantly kite enemies in a 2x2 tile space.

What does what mean? You misreading Bl belt? It probably means you're retarded.

>>318367283

They're not character names, they're the names of the classes.

Basically every old school WRPG. I say play Wizardry 4.

>>318368347
Black Belt. He punches things with his fists and eventually becomes strong enough to kill the final boss several times over
>>
>>318368347
Fighter is a guy that likes swords
Theif is a guy that likes being fast (NES is bugged so it's useless)
Bl Belt is Black Belt who likes punching things naked
And Red Mage wants to be good at both White magic and Black magic but sucks at both (actually once again because of a bug Red Mages aren't bad)
>>
>>318368535
>>318368607
But who is B1. Belt?
>>
>>318368703
Who was phone?
>>
>>318368703
He found a belt in the first floor of his apartment building's basement while practicing martial arts.
He named himself after it because it's his lucky belt.
>>
>>318368902
>>318368763
No, you aren't understanding me. I don't know who he is. I am asking you that.

As long as you got a lockpicker, a mage, a fighter, and a minotaur skull perk thrower, you're golden

I know that it was '87, but a bit of loot variety would have been relatively easy to implement, even if it broke the already piss-easy game.
>>
>>318370307
Don't you mean the Armoire of Invincibility?
>>
>>318370479
Nah, japs are all about swords.
You got a longsword, shortsword, fire sword, lyresword, bastardsword, betasword, redsword, methodsword, smokinsweetsword, etc.

Then you have hammers and axes in the same category. With only 1 of each the entire game.

And what the fuck is a flail?

I don't get it, what do you not get? There is B1. Belt, but RedMAGE is next to him.

How am i supposed to know who he is if i don't who he is?
>>
>>318370747
>betasword
Pretty sure they actually have one of those in FFV.

The flail was a weapon for the Monk/ Master, I think. Same class as the nunchucks, probably.
Thank fuck I lucked out and read that the Monk's damage output is drastically increased when he has no weapon equipped

Only nunchuckles
Flails weren't even around until FF5.

Is the best because of that. Just hook your team up at the start and never have to buy anything ever again. Everything becomes a hand me down. But even with that your weakest Fighter still only takes 1 damage per hit. The only fuckers are enemies that turn you to stone.

final fantasy legend I.jpg

Final Fantasy Legend for the Gameboy. It is the first game in the SaGa series. Final Fantasy Legend II has just a little bit of personality towards the characters, especially the main characters back story, other than that you can select what races you want in your party.
>>
>>318372437
As much as I love the idea of SaGa games they can just get annoying. I mean there's letting the players learn the mechanics as you go and there's SaGa games. It's like he love making everything obtuse as fuck.
>>
>>318373065
I think the first one is fairly straight forward. Mutants gaining random stats and spells after battles, humans needing potions to upgrade their stats, and monsters having to eat monster meat to transform. Weapons with durability and spells with charges along with a life system.

There is no battle rank, event rank, sparking, ways to chain skills, and so on.
>>
>>318373585
I know. I mean the monster transformation is insane and can either fuck you royally if you don't know what you are doing. I was just saying how SaGa games are always one of those games that love hiding as much as it can from the player. FF2 is a pretty good game but only after reading how everything works and each gear stat. If not you can easily have the game almost impossible near the end.

is this a party of all fighters?
>>
>>318374241
Yeah. The thing is that most of the good armor is just found. So you literally can just blaze through the whole game non stop and just do hand me downs. And at most the enemy will do is like 20 points with your 500HP. Just make sure you have tons of potions and some items to cure status like stone.
