This game is so dull and boring, how come you guys love it so much?

>Very little class variety and you are forced to lvl up new characters from lvl 1 if you want to change a party member
>TP based classes are literally useless for half of the game
>All FOE fights boil down to dubuffs
>The OST is sleep inducing
>Wynne's lines are cringe worthy and makes you realize that there's someone out there who gets paid to write all that shit
>Drawing your maps seems nice at first but by the time you reach the 3rd land it feels like a fucking chore
>Same items don't stack in inventory

And many other shit that kept bothering me.

How can you even defend this game?

Because they're the only DRPGs people that have a 3DS have played so they don't know any better.

Well his complaints make him sound spoiled, item stacks, leveling characters from 1, a huge class variety in a dungeon crawler? These are all complaints that haven't played a game before 2000

You can't be seriously defending items not stacking.

Is there something wrong with wanting a game to be good? It has outdated mechanics as well as minimal variety in everything from classes and moves to the actual dungeon designs.

Why should they? There's limited space in your bag. I'd appreciate it, sure, but it is just a casual convenience.

Perhaps because having to cut your exploring short as soon as your bag fills with fucking loot is a completely retarded game design choice for a game that makes you spend most of its time in dungeons?

I love the series but he has a point.

I'd be cool with a separate tab for loot and monster items.

EMD did it.

I mean, you could start with an argument first.
It kind of sucks that bait threads are the fastest way to get people to talk about a game here, but whatever gets the ball rolling, I guess.

Monster items are loot, anon.

You could at least be subtle about your butthurt.

That and this are the best regular battle themes in the series.

>>333231709
>Obvious flaws
Inventory space exists to give the game some thought and help make it not be a mindless forward+a simulator. With inventory space, you have to actually consider what to take. Do you want the delving to be easier by taking more consumables? Well, for removing that risk, you get lower rewards by having less inventory space for loot.

Seriously, how fucking easy would the game be if you could carry unlimited healing items? Imagine RE4, for example, if you could carry every single item in the game with no worry for space.

Now give me an actual fucking counterargument, Mr. Buzzword.

>Very little class variety

There's ten different distinct classes.

>TP based classes are literally useless for half of the game

The fuck have you been leveling?

>All FOE fights boil down to dubuffs

Welcome to RPGs, just be glad that debuffs are actually useful. But you realize that you don't HAVE to fight most FOEs right away, right?

>The OST is sleep inducing

Opinions but you're a faggot.

>Wynne's lines are cringe worthy and makes you realize that there's someone out there who gets paid to write all that shit

Oh no a loli speaking crudely! Personally I couldn't give less of a fuck.

>Drawing your maps seems nice at first but by the time you reach the 3rd land it feels like a fucking chore

You should have just put this as your only point, and everyone would have just told you the series is not for you. Not all games need to appeal to everyone. EO is about drawing maps, and you don't like drawing maps, okay, done.

>Same items don't stack in inventory

It's far from the only RPG with a limited inventory, it's part of the experience. Having a limited inventory forces you to eventually come back to town and means you can't just farm items indefinitely, and also means you can't just spam healing items indefinitely. Just make sure to always have ariadne threads and to activate the geomagnetic poles.

>>333232303
even if their only real complaint was the maps there's a fucking auto map option in this game. So that complaint would be meaningless.

Are dancers and archers absolutely worthless or am I doing something wrong?
>>
>>333234160
archers are great for binding shit and hitting anything without needing to be in the front row. Silver Arrow is good too.
>>
>>333234160
Dancers get pretty great as they level up. They can combo tons if attacks, and mine always worked as a secondary healer that did the job just as well usually.

Too far!
>>
>>333234160
Nope, IV has some of the most balanced classes in the game. You can make a party of pretty much anything and get through just fine.

Snipers specialize in binding limbs and get Silver Arrow, an attack that bypasses all defenses.

Dancers are very versatile. They can heal, buff and deal crazy damage via follow up attacks later in the game.
