/v/ is more shit than usual right now, so let's have rpg classes thread!
What's your favorite class in the jrpg/rpg?
Do you prefer generic ones like fighter/mage/rogue or special snowflakes like necromancer and cleric?
>>340557756
Fighter
Rogue. More breaking and entering, less pickpocketing. Which sucks, because they're either the worst or super overpowered.
>cleric
>special snowflake
>>340557756
More of this
Also, I usually pick either the speedy sword class, samurai, or monk.
>>340557756
I always liked Monk. Punching the shit out of things is fun.
not to derail or anything, just for ideas and brainstorming's sake
>>340558354
>>340558376
Too bad, not many games did monks right
>>340557756
Knight/Swordsman is the best
>>340558429
Can we all agree what sorcerers are niggers of the mage based roles?
I really like dps classes that have some utility an example would be the hunter thief combo from bravely default.
If there's an option to play a bard though I'll always pick it
>>340558625
?
I hope you are aware that this image set is video games related
>>340557756
Dark Knight is pretty fucking cool in Bravely Default. Though I heard it was nerfed in Second.
>>340557756
paladin
muh tank and self heals
>>340558625
fuck i'm playing EO IV right now and flowers keep raping my team
This isn't fun anymore
>>340558556
wizards and spellcasters of any type are the niggers of fantasy RPGs
Beast Master, Geomancer, or Necromancer.
I feel like any class can be great if its fantasy is lived out fully. The problem with most RPGs is that they have such a wide variety of classes with such a narrow gameplay scope that every class becomes a slight variety on the same core mechanic. Mages become ranged damage dealers with a pretty lightshow. Thieves become melee damage dealers with lots of dodging and jumping around.
What we need is an RPG with a narrower scope, but more detail. Why not make an RPG where all you can be is a Thief, and all the gameplay mechanics are about thief stuff and not just being a fighter-but-with-daggers-and-leather-armor like in most RPGs? It would be way more rewarding and interesting to play as an actual thief doing actual thief stuff.
Afterwards you can make an RPG where all you can be is a Mage, and really expand on the magic system instead of just having Press X To Fireball as your one and only gameplay mechanic for the mage class.

You posted it, even though it's a terrible image.
Edgy/guro EO art is the worst.
>>340557756
I generally like Monks, Berserkers/Barbarians, and Paladins
Especially girl paladins. Cute female knights are the greatest of all character designs
>>340558625
>play EO:U
>make a hexer eagerly, after remembering the hexer rapeage of EO2
>there's no more poison curse
>there can only be one curse on a monster at a time
What's the fucking point of hexers in this game holy shit
>>340558625
As soon as I learn petrify is a status ailment in any game I always carry a fuck ton of items to cure it.
>playing dragons dogma
>come back to gran soren
>they have secret softener in stock
>have no idea what causes that so I buy a fuck ton of them and sobering wine
>>340557756
Im gonna go with Paladin, being a strong physical class, while still having some offensive spells and healing magic in case of emergency is great.

CRAAAAAAANBERRIES!!!
>>340558942
Edgy/guro
Petrifaction/breaking is the non-edgy PG alternative to guro
>>340558912
skill monkey classes have no reason to exist in standard MMOs, except for DDO which has skill checks specifically so they have a reason to exist and it's essentially a pass or fail based on how heavily you've invested in the relevant skill
>Why not make an RPG where all you can be is a Thief, and all the gameplay mechanics are about thief stuff and not just being a fighter-but-with-daggers-and-leather-armor like in most RPGs?
Have you played Thief?
>an RPG where all you can be is a Mage, and really expand on the magic system instead of just having Press X To Fireball as your one and only gameplay mechanic for the mage class
Lichdom: Battlemage

Call it whatever you want man, I just prefer the happy adventure feeling of the official art.
>>340557756
>Not monster tamer
>Not posesser
>Not turning the enemy numbers against them
>>340559740
Thief is the perfect example of my argument, and one I had in mind when I made my post. It manages to perfectly fulfill the class fantasy of a thief, while every RPG out there manages to make it the most watered-down lame-ass experience you could imagine.
If RPGs strived to do what Thief did, instead of striving to do what Dragon Age 2 did, maybe the genre wouldn't be such a fucking turd.

I unironically enjoy playing as DoT/debuff characters like Riki in Xenoblade.
>>340560581
It's bittersweet; you save the day, but the path is littered with corpses.
Just give me EOU3 already, so I can save that ninja and the zodiac girl.

How? In every game there is always dialogue of guilds getting destroyed daily.
The game's plot takes place in a fucked up Earth and you end up nearly genociding a race in the first game.
The games were always bright eyed lolis getting brutally murdered in labrynths
>>340557756
post the rest of the pics
Wait, was this pic not sfw enough?
>>340561125
I mean the overarching story, the loss is great but you do prevail in the end. And it's not like it's your loli guild mates that are the ones getting killed.
It's definitely not a sunshine and rainbows kind of story.
>>340560581
that's my fetish
>>340561305
No, janitors hit the panic button. Nearly half of EO fan-art is gore
HAPPY
LOLI
ADVENTURES
i'm playing EO4 right now, is there a reason that everything in the second land is such bullshit? Every damn enemy here can oneshot my entire party

What level are you, and where are you trying to go to?
>>340562616
21
misty ravine and moth garden
>>340562761
Shit man, you sound level ready. I'm actually playing through it right now and my team is level 18~ and I'm basically at the same area and doing okay. Are you using a fortress with taunt? It helps a lot.
>>340563143
my fortress gets killed by everything too quickly
>>340557756
For a physical attacker, Dragoon (glass cannon, but with fun and most of the time useful abilities).
For the magic compartment, Blue Mage all the way: crazy, unpredictable most of the time, but if it hits the right way it can be gamebreaking.
