ITT we write the most trope filled generic JRPG we possibly can. One trope per post
I'll start
>our protagonist is a young boy
>with spiky blond hair
>you kill a god
>>334786618
village destroyed
goes to jail
defeats final boss with power of friendship
discovers he is the chosen one
>talking sword
>trope
fuck off
>silent protagonist
>obligatory incest somewhere in the story
>your sword is unreasonably huge
It's too hard not to post more than one trope.
He has amnesia. Adopted parents and doesn't remember real parents. Real parents are either heroes that you meet later, or villains
>your son wife is the last boss
Vaguely established young love interest who you knew as a friend, to inspire Rule 34 following
>meets a big tittied necromancer who always dresses proactively
>>334786782
>word
fuck off
>local girl has a crush on MC but he is oblivious
teens using the power of friendship to kill god
you can all fuck off now
>female companions include abrasive childhood friend, and soft-spoken young girl of unknown mystical importance
>That one friend that dies
>Main villain is a tragic antagonist who befriends you in his dying moments
>his memories aren't real
>doesn't fuck the love interest until she's already dead
>>334786985

FF7 tropes aren't every RPG trope.
his mother was killed by the villain.
father is presumed dead, but trains him later in the game and reveals later on that he is father.
>edgy optional party member.
>anthro race of furries (cat like)
>He has more than one belt on his body
>>334787037
No, but they are every JRPG trope.
It's threads like these that show your average anti-jrpg shitposter's only experience with the genre is Final Fantasy.
>>334786732
1 per post faggot
>The main love interest is tsundere

You stumble across a mysterious artifact in the woods when an army of monsters attack the town festival
You are a swordsman but are reasonably adept at most things you can do, you best friends are a beta weeb spellcaster and a qt healer and a fat guy
The first town only sells hunting knives and wooden armor
>>334788971

After becoming a refugee in a neighboring town you become a courier for someone that happens to be in on some sort of conspiracy with the monsters
Protagonist has a job collecting objects that are usiually obtained in the lowest parts of a dungeon or multiples of things easily gotten by killing monsters
He is entirely willing to accept payment in the form of soup, potions, or secondhand armor and wepons
Everyone in his town has anterograde amnesia and will ask him to do the same job again if he asks again
>>334786749
i actually think more protagonists realize they aren't the chosen one than actually are

>is a young boy
>but looks like a girl
>Bosses become regular enemies later.
>>334789938
more like
>the final boss is god, or a god
>>334790358
>That also looks female or a guy in drag
>>334787447
Are there any games, regardless of genre, that actually take the lives of random goons seriously?
>>334788971
i always hated this shit
>do something outside of town for a bit, either a small favor or adventuring with friends
>while you were out, your town gets attacked/destroyed
Can they seriously get any more cliche than that
>>334790412
Metal Gear. You get lower ranks for killing, and the games make it quite clear they they're just soldiers doing their job, like you are.
and I hear spec ops the line does it too
i hear undermeme has endings for if you dont kill
>>334786618
Just take any final fantasy game. No need to do this shit.
>the villain is right
> Your wifes boyfriend betrays you to save your wife.
>game has an unwinnable fight in it
>>334787227
Most of these apply to Xenoblade
>>334786618
You are the only one with the access to THAT.
>Your father was a legendary warrior that either died or disappeared.
B R A V O
>>334786618
No wait I got this.
A party of strangers that mysteriously wants your dick / thinks you are the coolest shit ever since sliced bread for no good reasons at all.
>>334787227
Tell grorious nippon to stop making all of their shitty jrpgs the exact same, then.

>>334791391
>protagonist is great at things requiring physical prowess, but is shit at anything book related for he finds it boring

Truly shows how many JRPGs you've played.
>>334790412
Undertale, funnily enough
>The protagonist is a teenage boy
>He finds himself surrounded by beautiful girls
>He's a shy clueless beta but doesn't know they're all hot for his dick
I know it's JAPANESE RPG, but why does it always have to be the wet dream of some limp wristed Japanese cuck that can't talk to girls?
>protagonist's ultimate weapon is only available after completing a difficult and/or tedious minigame
>>334791669
>Flightless birds
Chocobo, right?

>Weapons are character-restricted and every character can only use one kind.
>>334786618
>Hero is an arrogant prick that is supposed to be cool
>>334790536
The easiest way to justify the call to adventure is to give the protagonist no home to return to.
I liked how Secret of Mana did it, with the villagers just throwing you the fuck out for being a menace.
>>334786618
>Dragon-slaying one man army of a main protag is out-skilled by 4 random guards during a cut-scene
>>334787227
Tons of those apply to the Tales of, Suikoden and Dragon Quest games.
>the best gear of a certain kind is a 1/64 drop rate or worse from a certain enemy
Never played jrpg (I'm 30 and played since nes). Played plenty of wrgp. Can you recommend me one to start with? On PC and would be comfy if I can play it with my controller (xbox360). I don't even know how I missed them completly.
>>334786618
>that one socially awkward guy in the party that secretly used to work for the bad guy until change of heart
>>334792946
Start with Final Fantasy 5. You can just emulate it on your PC
>Middle aged guy who's better than you in every way dies, leaving his best skills to you.
>You go on to become even greater than him.
>>334791018
>girly boy with girly penis has to spread his ass cheeks for giant troll and gets impailed by troll dick
They don't even try to add any change or satire this shit
>>334786618
>final boss has 3 stages; Human, Demon, Angel.
>he's a half-demon with super-special fighting powers to kill other demons, which he does using his demon-sword that he got from a cool demon lady that was made in the demon world and when he kills demons with his demon-sword it steals their demon-soul and he becomes a more powerful demon
>>334786618
>top apprentice betrays and kills your master

>Edgy party member (japanese-tier edgy, literally look how edgy I am i threw a paper in the street mwahaha) that tenders down to an overprotective dad when theykilledmyfamily party member shares his story
>Recuring gentle giant character you're supposed to like but it's pretty annoying
God forbid they go the tv show way and add the typical red/orange clothed optimistic hidden power protagonist with the stubborn blue/white clothed that starts out more powerful than him but has the character be humble when the protagonist reveals his true power and now considers him worthy but in his own headstrong way and gets teased by comic relief/loli/tender character for mild audience character relating.
How is this likeable again?
>Villain wants to end all suffering
>There's no suffering if everyone is dead
>Your horny older sister with a younger brother complex is the main villain
>>334794179
>third reich

Hey, it's not my problem they see it that way and actively try to make every dictatorship look like that
>the only other main protagonist is a complete joke and all the girls don't like him
>or he's a cool guy that for some reason none of the girls acknowledge and doesn't try to get any of them, almost as if he's a figment of your imagination
Main character is either

>>334794812
>villain wants to end all suffering
>kills himself
Just play Golden Sun
>The chosen one gets cucked when he has to die to save the world and the strong silent alpha dark knight of the party sticks his Gold Needle right in cute red mage's Echo Herbs.
>>334794820
Are you aware of countless Kosher people that were killed in cold blood back in those days?
Did you know you couldn't smoke in Nazi Germany?
Did you know what they did to gays?
Those were bad times
I know you may find it funny or edgy to back the Nazis but it's important not to take the joke to far
>>334795241
That sounds like a waste of resources to use a gold needle on echo herbs.
