Why were the 90's the golden era for JRPGs? Why has no jrpg made after then come close to the glory and splendour of the 90's era JRPGs?
>>320233546
A lot of them were plenty shit though. Just as today.
>>320233546
Here's a video explaining exactly why

Because you were a naive child in the 90's
Some people consider the 80's the best era for JRPG's, what with games like Wizardy and Dragon Quest
There is also the new generation who will consider the 2000's and the advent of the AJRPG to be their "golden era"
modern jrpgs are ok, there was a period of time in the early 00s where almost everything was awful

>play FFVI for the first time a year ago
>one of the single most boring jrpg's I've ever played in my life
It's like the definition of a bog-standard generic uninteresting jrpg. Like this is the mold all other boring rpg's were made from.
>>320233795
HOLY SHIT BTONGUE IS BACK WHAT THE FUCK
>>320233546
It all started with the release of FFX
Not just JRPGS but video games as a whole
Mostly because women still thought video games were for losers and didn't care.
>>320234146
Yeah.
It's like how Seinfeld really isnt funny to new audiences.
>>320234261
I think it's hilarious. And I was born in 92. Didn't watch a speck of it growing up either.
>>320233795
this guy sounds like gaben
>>320234146
I think the game is overrated but it's still better than 90% of jrpgs out there. Good art direction, very nice music, story is wacky and entertaining. There's so many awful fucking jrpgs and lumping FFVI with them is just stupid.
>>320234146
You must have played FFIV, then.
>>320234146
Sounds like you just have shit taste, fampai.
>>320233546
I wonder too.
>>320234559
It's not bad. Just incredibly boring. Like it doesn't do anything unique in any way, it's a game I've played a dozen times already, only better.
>>320234586
Oh shit. Meant IV. Sorry. VI looks like it has some stuff going for it, but I haven't gotten around to it.
>>320233795
The man has a bit of a lisp, but I love how he builds his arguments.
Unpopular opinions thread? I think Xenoblade X is the greatest Jrpg ever made
>>320234949
Well IV literally IS the mold of generic jrpgs. Back then you wouldn't have said the same so saying that shit about it now is still pretty stupid, since you don't bother about perspective.
>>320235050
gameplay wise it might be
>>320235050
A gutted game can't be eligible for for the title of greatest. Annon, stop saying silly things.
>>320234949
>Oh shit. Meant IV. Sorry.
Oh, shit, really? I was just messing around, but it's nice that it turned out this way. IV actually sort of IS the standard JRPG, but it's still pretty darn good. Generic, sure, but it DID set a standard, you know? Gotta count for something.
VI and V are the best in the series in my opinion, I'd recommend them over IV any day.
>>320235148
so offline mmorpg is the pinnacle of gameplay

>I did not play the game but act like I have a say in the matter
Why do you even exist?
>>320235274
>He thinks it was just two changes
Annon...I don't know how to tell you this....
>>320235080
Exactly. Which is why I think calling it the golden era might not be all that apt. It was good then, but maybe not so much now.
Like, I would call late 90s early 2000's a golden era for FPS's since for the most part since then we have regressed. But there are still jrpg's released that makes IV look like a lazy RPG Maker game.
>>320235204
I really need to play it. Why is it always IV getting all the ports anyways? Like it's being ported more than Doom. Meanwhile, the interesting FF games are just left to rot.
>>320233546
because SquareSoft got kill

>>320235050
>X
So close
>>320235318
>i pretend the gameplay is good because the game was published by nintendo
>>320235050FFVIII is better than VII
>>320233546
Because mentally underdeveloped pederasts like nomura were allowed to take over after the people who invented the genre were all fired.

It still amazes me how his idea of cool is still stuck in like the mind of a 12 year old.
I mean, grats for being true to yourself and all, but as a player it just comes off as so god damn cringe-worthy.
>>320236550
he is the japanese metzen, he is so stuck in his mid 90s idea of what is cool and never moved on because he happend to be at the right place in the right time.
>Why has no jrpg made after then come close to the glory and splendour of the 90's
They have. You're just a fucking retard looking at the past with nostalgia goggles on.
Kill yourself.
>>320235562
None.

The most recent RPG that made me feel like I was 12~15 again was Xenoblade Chronicles.
