If you had to give someone who has never played an RPG before, what would you give them to convince them that it's a fantastic genre?
Persona 3
FF type 0
Mega man battle network 3
>>323156681
Not FF that's for sure.
Morrowind

I'd go with Chrono Trigger I think.

FF7 if they're nerdy loners
Ariadne

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy VII
>>323156681
it depends.
is the person the usual adhd-riddled-mentally-handicapped-internet-raised human being, or does he appreciate things like normal people should?
ff9 if he isn't patient, chrono trigger if he is.
FF9 goes straight into action, making it exciting... Chrono Trigger is a better game, but the whole start at the Fair with Marle will definitely not work for everyone and they might give up before even going to 600A.D.
If the person can tolerate shit graphics that aged like cum in a box, then go with FF7 instead of FF9. Or 6 if he likes sprite art.
Never 8 or 10.

RPG's aren't action games my man, unless you're going for something like Tales games (which are trash anyway), the combat is generally going to be relatively slow and methodical.
>>323156681
turnbased RPG is garbage, ATB gauge like FF etc is garbage

The difficulty scale should have been hiked up for all final fantasy games. All the games only provide a challenge at the beginning of the game. Later on, you can literally grind yourself to victory.
>>323160283
>this shitty opinion and meme list
6, 12, 3 are the shit games in the series. Nobody ever plays 2 but the system never actually hinders gameplay even once. 8 is a masterpiece but nobody can read tutorials so it gets underrated. 13 is railroaded but only as mediocre as any other JRPG

>No, FF was good in *one* entry, everything else was just plain bad.

8 is good anon, but it's not a masterpiece. i loved the combat and junction system, but near the end the plot just turns into a puddle of shit only a socially-isolated-autistic-braindead-child who has never seen any art medium properly outside of videogames would enjoy.
>>323160629
6 is horribly designed, you haven't played 2, you thought 8 was a grind because you have a low IQ, 13 is mediocre but better than 6 or 12. I guess you like the shitty games where you grind a samefag team and the only real complexity is limit breaks? So why hate 8

i couldn't get into it, the voice acting was way too shitty and tidus was just a shit main character.
FFX is the first weeb FF game. It marks the beginning of the fall.
Unlimited Saga. It will be a trail by fire. You either make it out alive or die trying.
>>323160832
It would be if everyone gained experience without needing to participate in battle. As it is, you need to swap in every single character and have them use an ability or attack for every single battle you have, or you risk needing a particular character for a certain battle and having them be underleveled to shit because you never ever used him.
>>323161078
> the voice acting was way too shitty
Voice acting is fine, direction is at fault when it comes to X and having to fit in with Jap lip sync.
>tidus was just a shit main character.
I will never understand meme considering Tidus pretty much has the most growth as a character of all FF protags.

6 is sorta nice. 1 lacks a definitive version since it needs to be balls hard to work.

Or Mario RPG. Any of them.

you truly are an autistic child if you think people who hated it MUST have missed the foreshadowing.
i'm sorry, but the "we were all orphans living together" twist was one of the most cringeworthy shit i've ever seen in a videogame, and i've seen shit.
i was enjoying the game so much too, and then i just felt embarrassed. that was 13 years ago, when i was 12 years old.
i've replayed it recently, and it's a really good game that just falls apart in the last act. it's just shitty writing anon, no need to be upset.
it's okay to enjoy flawed things.
>>323161230
What you're describing is FFIX, not X.
Even the Kimahri fight is scaled around Kimahri.
>>323160939
>6 is horribly designed
Explain to me how 6 is horribly designed anon. It has a solid battle system with every character having a unique field of focus, an excellent cast, arguably the best OST in the series and an incredible story with actual choices left to the player.
>you haven't played 2
>t-they called my favourite game bad s-so they haven't played it!
Literally grow up, the only good thing about II was its villain and soundtrack.
>8 was a grind because you have a low IQ
L M A O, 8 requires some of the least amount of thought in the series, literally go out and draw shit loads of magics and be set for the next 10 hours, repeat when you're out of juice. Triple Triad and the soundtrack are the only good things to come from 8.
8 was so easy in fact, that they literally had to strip your entire parties abilities away from you in the final dungeon to make it a challenge, which resulted in a dumb minigame to get your powers back before facing Ultimecia.
>13 is mediocre but better than 6 or 12
I have never read such a wrong opinion in my life. I'm not even angry, I'm actually, legitimately impressed someone could possibly have such a shit opinion.
I like how you gave literally no explanation as to why 13 is better, too.
>>323156724
I tried getting into JRPG's like this and it sucked shit for twenty hours so I dropped it, I got into atlus's JRPG's year later through DeSu and SJ. Limited party control is disgusting recommend P3P at least instead.
>>323161078
>FFX is the first weeb FF game
FFVIII is literally more weab than X because it's another generic MUH HIGH SCHOOL KIDZ IN AN EBIN ADVENTURE piece of shit with literally anime archetype characters.
Probably Ys7
>>323159091
>>323161241
>Voice acting is fine, direction is at fault when it comes to X and having to fit in with Jap lip sync.
no voice acting is shit, just like i think dubs are shit in 99% of american anime. it felt like a poorly dubbed cartoon, completely broke immersion for me, especially since when i played it for the first time i was also playing kingdom hearts which had fucking brilliant voice acting performances (save for the FF characters which were just meh). that was probably because it was filled with disney voice actors though.
>I will never understand meme considering Tidus pretty much has the most growth as a character of all FF protags.
It was an unbearably shitty game anon, I didn't finish it. I didn't have the patience to.
If the first 3 hours of your game is utter and complete garbage, I ain't wasting my time with it.

It's OK that you are a dumb, unthinking westerner who hates spirituality and romance. You people are like overgrown babies, obsessed with grit and 'realism' because your lives are so boring and pointless
>>323161365
No, what I'm describing is FFX. And while the Khimari fight is the most egregious example it applies to the whole game due to it's rock-paper-scissors battle system. You will absolutely NEED to have Rikku, Wakka, Tidus, Auron, Lulu and Yuna at a high enough level for certain fights (phys vulnerable bosses, magic vulnerable bosses, mandatory underwater fighting segments, general RPS random encounters), not to mention restricting yourself to a single "main team" locks you out of plenty of strategies.

OP What FF is this 5hit?
>>323161796
I mostly stuck to Tidus/Rikku/Wakka and I did fine, at no point was it 100% necessary to have a certain character going through the game (unless it was limited party setup but that was far and between and easily manageable).
In IX you were constantly getting stripped of your party members for long segments and if they didn't have abilities learnt or were low level, good fucking luck.
>>323156813
FF9 is my favorite jrpg. Probably nostalgia though. That music though.

FFIV lacks in battle system depth, but thanks to 5 character parties and legitimately being challenging it's one of the most fun to play IMO.

Hello, reddit!
>>323161957
>The fact is you don't even need to go to all that effort because the game is so fucking easy.
listen, i realise it wasn't the hardest game and the mechanics were easily exploitable, but the fact that you were drawing magic to use instead of junctioning, which is what is was designed to do most of the time, just shows you were playing the game wrong, which would take away most of the fun.
also, i'm sure you didn't beat ultima weapon.
but i digress, it's okay to think it's shit, just be aware you probably played it wrong. which is a bit of the game's fault too.
Grandia 2 and Lunar 1 was what got me super into rpgs. I'd recommend them. Games now aren't as good as these.
>>323162491
Was junctioning that shit where you draw the magic and then apply it to a character stat to increase it or something? I honestly can barely remember 8 because I played it like 10 years ago, but I remember doing something like that after you draw the magic.
It was ok customization but it was still a really fucking boring mechanic IMO.

This is very sound advice. Both are very charming games, and if they won't convince you of the genre's strength, nothing probably will.
>>323160639
This for WRPGs. Despite not being very welcoming to new players (primarily due to its weird combat system) this game will have you by the balls fifteen minutes in and really doesn't ever let go. I still remember very vividly my surprise reaching the town for the first time only to have the guards tell me I'm not getting in without someone vouching for me (or a good bribe). Gothic II is old, but it's still very good, just for showing in what circumstances having a 'sandbox' works to the game's advantage.
Fallout 2, it's how I got to the genre. Temple of trials is good for weeding out those who wouldn't like have the patience for the gems of the genre anyway.
>>323162845

>>323163002

Yeah maybe 15 years ago, anyone today will drop that shit after 30 minutes because it's so slow and tedious by todays standards.
>>323162607
I prefer Grandia 1 and Lunar 2. Agreed with Grandia 2 being recommended though, 1 is just my personal GOAT. Lunar 1 not so much, its really good too but I feel Lunar 2 beats it by having a more fleshed out story.
GOAT aside though there's one other I'd recommend even more for 1st timers. Pic motherfucking related.

there's nothing wrong with Persona you self hating weeb

So are pretty much all good WRPGs. You're pretty much left with just modern Bioware and Bethesda games if you want easily accessible gameplay. WRPG isn't for everyone and that's perfectly fine.

Great games, no doubt. Depends on whether the player can get over the fact that it's Mario. Personally I love that shit
Are we talking JRPGs or just RPGs in general?
If you just mean JRPGs then Trails in the Sky on Steam.
If we're talking just RPGs in general, there's a lot of diversity. Morrowind, Diablo II, Baldur's Gate II, Deus Ex, and Planescape: Torment are excellent western examples.

The only correct answer isMother 3
>>323163796
>just like i think dubs are shit in 99% of american anime.
How do you just happen to see all the anime in the world and claim you don't watch it? Especially when your make up statistic requires you to see at least a hundred different anime shows to get to that number.
>no, it's shitty dub alright. if you think that's good voice acting then you truly have a shit taste.
It's literally fine. And again, you seem to fail to grasp the fact that even good voice actor can't save the VA if the direction is shit. See Persona 3 & 4. Full of good VAs ruined by literally weeb dubs with honorifics and direction being forced that way.
>ffx plays out like a huge shitty anime.
What a shitty blanket statement.

jesus titty fucking christ, HAHHAAH this is golden omg!! you must be completely socially inept. or is this bait? this sure seems like bait at this point.
it was a made up statistic, a fucking hyperbole, you loon.
>It's literally fine. And again, you seem to fail to grasp the fact that even good voice actor can't save the VA if the direction is shit.
so the reason you're butthurt is you like the voice actors? if you weren't so mad raging you'd see i'm not saying it's NOT the direction's fault. in the end it still is a shitty dub. it's not fine, it's laughingly bad.
>What a shitty blanket statement.
sorry, i just don't feel like putting more effort than that.

Hello, reddit.
>>323164302
I liked it better than Urfbound.
>>323163663
Too few people played it because Mega Man is known for platformers, not for RPGs unfortunately.
It doesn't help that there are a billion of other Mega Man games either so the chance that they pick Battle Network 3 out of all the possible Mega Man games is very slim.

Hello, reddit!
>>323160283
>90% of the spin offs
kek. FF's spin-offs are the only redeeming games in the franchise.
>>323164949
The only good ones are Tactics, Tactics Advance and X-2 (and that's only due to the battle system, everything else is shit).
All the others are trash. Well Type 0 isn't completely awful I suppose.
>>323164706
The dub is not bad, the direction is and having to fit with the Jap lip sync. Stop being fucking dumb.
>sorry, i just don't feel like putting more effort than that.
Then you might as well try and stop trying to act like your """""""facts""""""" hold and weight

What a dumb question.
"RPG" is too wide of a category to answer this. There are lots of RPGs that I like and a lot of RPGs that I don't like, across a wide range of combat systems, storytelling systems, multiplayer or single player etc...
Ultima 7
>>323165263
Hope you have a good day, reddit!
>>323156681
To introduce someone to RPGs, you need to give them something basic. Probably a game that has very few bells and whistles, to see if they like that kind of game.
Super Mario RPG would be a good place to start I think.
>>323165221
>>323165258
I was trying not to be too harsh lads.
>>323165082
X-2 isn't spin-off, it's mainline.
Can we just agree that FF is a shit series already? Unless you're fine with posting "HAHA NO YOU'RE WRONG SHIT TASTE" until you all get tired of this.
>>323165456
Why won't "we" factually say that many of the games in FF series are polarising because they change things up in each entry?
>>323165347
later, reddit!
>>323165445
>X-2
>X
>2
It's a spin off anon, just like Crisis Core, Dirge and After Years.
>Final Fantasy X
>Persona 4
>Deus Ex HR
>Fallout 4
>Kingdom Hearts
>Mass Effect 2
start with games that aren't too hard to get in to then you can move on to more complex stuff
>>323165582
I'll miss you, reddit!
>>323165456
2/10
>>323165594
What? No it isn't. It's literally a sequel to X and the only difference is that it's just ATB instead of turn-based.
DoC and CC both have focus on completely different characters and completely different gameplay (TPS and action game respectively)
>>323165691
X-2
>>323165456
Can we just agree that JRPGs in general are terrible? The only exceptions are the stratgic ones like Fire Emblem, Disgaea, Tactics Ogre etc.
>>323165726
>>323165594
I mean, are you saying that XIII-2 and XIII-3 are spin-offs too?
>>323165193
hahahaha m8, good for you for having low standards and thinking the dub isn't bad.
>Then you might as well try and stop trying to act like your """""""facts""""""" hold and weight
see when you type like this people either think you're:

>Back to /b/ or twitch chat with you, either is fine.
never been to both, but ok.
but come on, answer my previous questions:
just out of curiosity anon, how old are you? don't lie.
also, do you get out of the house much? what are your favourite movies and what do you do for a living?

I'm just glad both Suikoden 1 and 2 are finally on PSN because it simply the case of them being overshadowed by all the big names on PS1. Now that I think back on it, did it any big name JRPG series actually begin on PS1?
>>323159546
>tfw always wanted to play a table RPG

>>323165789
>Can we just agree that JRPGs in general are terrible?
No
>>323165619
If you don't mind the silly PS1 graphics I'd recommend FFVII over FFX. Otherwise good list. Also add Chrono Trigger and Skies of Arcadia.
>>323165726
Yes XIII-2 and 3 are spin offs. Mainline series is literally only 1 - 15.
Shit like Crisis Core, After Years, X-2, XIII-2 etc are all spin offs. It's been like this for literally years, nobody counts the sequels to sequels as mainline.
>>323165456
The entire world pretty much agreed on this back in 2006.
slowpoke.png
>>323165789
Lots of good JRPGs. Lunar 2, Lufia/2, Wild Arms, etc.
>>323165956
The Xeno series.
>ctrl f
>'Shut up an'
>0 hits
I honestly think Barkley: Shut up and Jam Gaiden is one of the best RPG's ever made. Everything about it is just so perfect.
Chrono Trigger is a close second.
>>323166104
Wild Arms is hardly any better than classic FF.
>>323166018
by dodging my questions i'm pretty sure you're either underaged, a virgin, or both.
>>323163125
>I prefer Grandia 1 and Lunar 2. Agreed with Grandia 2 being recommended though, 1 is just my personal GOAT. Lunar 1 not so much, its really good too but I feel Lunar 2 beats it by having a more fleshed out story.
You are my nigga. What happened to coming of age stories about adventures in JRPGs? It seems like at some point everything because ZANY NONSENSE or SRS BSBS TO THE MAX.
>>323156681
Which FF is this?
>>323165456
No.
>>323166151
nigga, there's no xeno SERIES and you know it. to answer his question - wild arms, although you could argue just how "big name" it was.
>>323166087
>Literal sequels are spin-offs
According to you any game series with more than game only has one entry rest are spin-offs.
>>323156808
Is that even an RPG?
It's more of a card game mixed with tile based movement
>>323166104
>The entire world pretty much agreed on this back in 2006.
2010 you mean. Before then only a vocal minority of hipsters hated Final Fantasy, but thanks to Spoony and especially Yahtzee it became cool to hate on it.
>>323166251
Here's your (You)
>>323166402
Sequels in the FF series are 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 etc.
Anything with like, 10-2, 13-2 are side steps (spin offs).
It's common sense.
>>323156681
I wouldn't give them FF1 or FF2, for starters.
Most jrpgs have incredibly slow beginning so this is an almost impossible task. Most people who have never played one before will be put off by the first 30 minutes
>>323166267
Companies got big. Stories stopped being labors of love.There is one series that attempted to bring the feeling back in more recent times though. Pic related, at least that's how it felt to me.
>>323165824
Having just read the entire thread, you're the one acting super underage here.
Seriously get the fuck out.
Not only do you not know how to type, but at every step of the way, the other anon has provided logic and evidence, while you've done nothing but backtrack, change goalposts, and make blanket statements about games you have no experience with.
By your own admission, you never played more than a few hours into FFX.
Yet how can you say "characters are shit" and it "plays out like a weeb anime" when you've never even played past the intro?
Also, defending FF8 while saying "if your game takes more than three hours to get into it, then i ain't playing it" is fucking hilarious.
tl;dr Shut up, newfag.
>>323166580
>Games that have NOTHING to do with one another are considered sequels over games that are literally sequels to the first entry
At this point, I don't know if you're just stupid as Hell or just baiting me.
>>323163125
i remember feena used to give me the biggest boners. still remember fapping to a grandia doujin when i was 12.
nowadays i have no clue how i was attracted to her lol
waaay too skinny. puberty does things to you mate, i swear.
>>323160584
Persona 3/4 are entry level easy regardless of how weeb it is.>>323160601
>>323161285
>I think Chrono Trigger. Since it doesn't pad too hard, and it doesn't have too long cutscenes, and the gameplay is neat.
Good point. You don't want to him someone with, I don't know, DQ7 or something as their first JRPG.
>>323166662
My negro, Trails in the Sky is the best JRPG in a very long time.
>>323166104
>Wild Arms
Aside from the wild west setting it was the same shit as Final Fantasy or any other JRPG from that era.
>>323166247
Wild Arms 2,3, and 5 actually have interesting stories with interesting characters.
Not just generic "DARKNESS INSIDE OF ME!! SAVE THE WORLD."
>>323166763
They're offputting as fuck and especially Persona 3 lacking party member control leading to bullshit situtations it's not something you want a newcomers to try.
>>323166267
Grandia 1 a fucking shit.
Boring as hell story, setting, and characters.
>>323166870
>"DARKNESS INSIDE OF ME!! SAVE THE WORLD."
And which Final Fantasies were like that?
Chrono Trigger is the definitive quintessential RPG
>>323166457
Nope. 2006. When FF12 killed the series forever and irredeemably.

>>323166975
Are you expecting these people to play the games they shit on?
>>323166728
That's literally the official way it's been done for decades anon.
>>323166851
Incredibly original story. Especially 2.
>>323167127I'm still playing the first chapter, is the sequel that much more better?
>>323167131
Sequel fucking means that it's actually a fucking sequel.
>A sequel is a narrative, documental, or other work of literature, film, theatre, television, music, or video game that continues the story of, or expands upon, some earlier work
None of the fucking entries are connected beyond X and X-2 plus XIII, XIII-2 and XIII-3. They are LITERALLY sequels while numbered entries are completely separate entities sharing the franchise name and nothing else.
I legitimately refuse to believe you're this dumb.
>>323161118
I always liked how Romancing SaGa was kind of an alternative sandbox evolution path for JRPGs that was never taken by anyone except very, very few other titles.
>>323167129

>half your party members leaving you throughout the game
>>323166728
It's the same shit with DQ m8, 1 to 10 are all mainline entries, stuff like DQ monsters etc are all spin-offs.
X-2, XIII-2 and XIII-3 are officially regarded by SE as side games and not mainline entries.
>>323156681

uh, no?
>Not only do you not know how to type, but at every step of the way, the other anon has provided logic and evidence
logic and evidence? in subjective matters? are you retarded? if you think seymour's dub sounded good youre also a fucking shit taste vermin.
sorry, it's my opinion. some people like avril lavigne and nickelback, some people like FFX.
i think they're all shit. it's my opinion, i already told you the reasons why it doesn't please me. stop being a fucking weeaboo retard who gets riled up when people don't agree with your tastes.
>nothing but backtrack, change goalposts
sorry, when was that?
>By your own admission, you never played more than a few hours into FFX.
>Yet how can you say "characters are shit" and it "plays out like a weeb anime" when you've never even played past the intro?
i played up to this:
https://youtu.be/BsWFYCxUABM?list=PLBC3FE9410917AEA2&t=4595
for the whole time i played i thought the voice acting, story, character and their dialogues were AWFUL.
it's my opinion, sorry. it felt cheesy and shitty, overdramatic and poorly done to the point where i couldn't get into the game.
ffx is shit.
>Also, defending FF8 while saying "if your game takes more than three hours to get into it, then i ain't playing it" is fucking hilarious.
thank god ff8 didn't have vomit inducing voice acting.
>tl;dr Shut up, newfag.

Even if that were true original doesn't always = good.
>>323167631
Literally go back to /b/ & Twitch chat, down where you belong shitposting.
>>323167395
Maybe you should actually try playing those games instead of parroting bullshit you hear from other retards.Though I agree that FF8 was atrocious.
>>323167305
Have you noticed how FC in its entirety is laid back and nothing major happens and things just move slowly and comfy?
Not to say SC is any less comfy but shit just hits the fucking fan from the get go. Its a damn rollercoaster of comfy and shit going down at the same time. Its absolutely stellar.Prepare for FC ending. No really, prepare yourself mentally. Where you at now?

nice one! you sure showed me pal!
going to stick around and recommend people to actual good games instead of trash like tidus laughs: the game.
>>323168008
Even if SE do it like that it doesn't fucking mean the sequels go "1>2>3..." because not one single fucking one fo them is a sequel.
X-2, XIII-2, XIII-3 are all mainline and are sequels to their previous entries. I don't even know how the fuck you can make a spin-off out of them when they won't even play differently like spin-offs do.
>>323168185
So far it's been nothing but shitty bait, memes and shitposting.

More RPG fans should actually play SSI games, I agree because so many just fall back on MUH IE GAMES as thegoldstandard.

I bet you liked Boyhood you worthless turd.
Ths FFVIII orphanage twist wasn't weird in any way. Did it not ever strike you how SeeD is a mercenary force comprised of teens and 20-somethings? Most adults were killed in the Esthar war. The Gardens scooped up the refuse and entered the war business. Most of the people at Garden are orphans, not just the main cast.
Also you need to learn to articulate yourself with an actual vocabulary instead of spouting autistic at everything.
Morrowind and Fallout. While these 2 probably aren't anywhere near top notch, they don't require much spoiling to get into, and have good joy/effort value. Maybe Mask of the Betrayer as well, but I'm not sure.

Its been forever, but all I ever remembered abotu Lunar2 was;
Let's head to the city!, but 1st, lets have a filler episode about some people we dont care about, to stop us from getting there!
Oh look, a cat got stuck in a tree! lets go to a nearby cave, to get the ladder!
I eventually made it a goal to guess what nonsense BS was going to stop the group from starting the story.
When you finally get to the city, the main story FINALLY starts... only to be the games final dungeon...
I'm like, it's over as soon as the game starts?!
So I kinda dont see how it has the "better" story, since it had "less" of a story than the original. (Not that less reflects quality, but with so LITTLE to work with, its hard to make a comparison to me.)
>>323168883
>Let's head to the city!, but 1st, lets have a filler episode about some people we dont care about, to stop us from getting there!
Only time I really felt that way about Lunar 2 is when you need to deal with each characters' arc and get Dragon Auras. I didn't really help with overall pace of the game, but I cared enough about the characters to carry me through it all. And it FELT worthwhile and not like "here's a shitty 10 minute sidequest for every character, have fun".
