Those games are the epitome of the OP image.

Anime voice actors are shit too. All of them with their high pitch, whiny voices.
>>
>>343628691
Even when I was 10 years old, I found that whole "getting lost" thingy to be bullshit bad design.

I don't want to get irredeemably lost such that the story comes to a complete halt, especially when many of those older games offered shit-all to find besides the main story and some healing items, and the game locked you out of most areas anyway until you found the next main quest destination.

If you are going to be non-linear, let it be a player choice or an important, well thought out mechanic.

Besides, most JRPGs publishers these days are simply too damn broke to pull off AAA open worlds.

Two recessions and an earthquake/tsunami/irradiated wasteland clean up combo does that to you.

Thank fuck they don't do that anymore western developers are complete shit.

>>343628464
It uses a western setting and that's as far as it goes nothing else about those games are western at all especially since they actually play well. They also have actual boss fights for one so you know western influence had nothing to do with game design. Do all the mental gymnastics you want but you are playing a Japanese RPG.
>>
>>343630183
I think that it captures the spirit of the game pretty well, and is nicely illustrated. It's hard to understate the impact that Ultima 3 had in Japan. It and Wizardry is in the DNA of every JRPG (Dragon Quest was heavily inspired by both of them). So, I can forgive a bit of the ol' anime in the box art.

The American NES version really is terrible tho.

Lufia II was "fuck off and do this side-quest", the game. Pretty much every time you crossed into a new area the game would throw a random fucking sidequest in your way.

I'd rather the dungeon just be in my way.

Disgaea is pretty good, it's down a few bucks for the Steam sale too I think. I actually just wrapped up the story last night, it left a big goofy smile on my face.

Phantom Brave has an arguably better story, but Disgaea has more charm. Phantom Brave also won't be out until the 25th of this month, but I highly recommend that as well.

In truth OP, I have no respect for what you refer to as "the men and nerds especially at large," or whatever the f-ck social group you've spawned from (it sure as hell is not the majority of men). Hell, even the examples you've referenced actually disproves your point:

In every 'game' I've seen (I don't play), I see people like you pretending to control (not 'be') these half-naked, silicone-titted anime/pixelated bimbos. You freaks get off on commanding women to do your bidding, having them jump and kick each other as their chests bouncing around and you and your fellow bespectacled man-children squeal 'SWEET MOVE, MAN!' to which one of you little ass hats invariably MUST reply with the incredibly ear-grating phrase, 'YEAH COOL STORY, BRO!' - my f-cking god, I hate you bastards. Holy sh-t, "cool story bro"? F-ck you, bro.

So as you and you 'bro' command your virtual female whores to mud wrestle in the latest version of Mortal Kombat: XXX, or in Lara Croft in GoldenTits 64: Barely Legal or whatever it's called, you delude yourselves into thinking that this is 'respecting' women. In truth it's a virtual exercise in control over the female sex. For a person without any sex or intimacy, gaming of this nature (hyper-sexualized grab-ass BS) is about the most respecting of women you'll ever get. But I assure you, only the brainwashed 'gamer girls' who frequent 'gaming cons' and wear f-cking rabbit ears and tails eat that sh-t up. No woman wants to be made into a puppet, dressed in a Lara Croft g-string, and be made to beat up Sonya Blade and Zelda in 4k, all while a group of freakishly underdeveloped quasi-adult 'men' fawn over them and scream 'cool story, bro' or worse, 'derp' at one another. And you have the audacity to type this mickey mouse bullsh-t while citing games where you play as Lara Crotch, a f-cking fembot who shoots up people with her tit guns? F-ck off, buddy. What the f-ck kind of respect is that?

It's not western influence it's how much games are influenced by anime subculture. Believe it or not Japan has original fantasy ideas and mythos to derive settings from, they choose not to in favor of this shit because it sells. Turns out many of the same people who buy "weebshit" play videogames.

No, extra campaign. And Yamato wasn't enough, so now there is a female Yamato. And you can recruit Alcor along with Yamato.

So now you can have Yamato, femYamato and Alcor all obsessing over the MC like some sort of autistic fanclub. And more glorious dialogue, you can pretend to be Yamato for most of the campaign and treat Daichi like shit.

Three mega-autists obsessing over MC is great. Also, Ronaldo goes FULL RETARD in the new campaign and has the stupidest ending ever.

The new campaign is basically "you guys already tried to kill each other last time, now enjoy a route with everyone so you can make a team of whoever you want". So you have Septentrione Campaign which is DeSu 2, and Triangulum Campaign which is DeSu 2 RB.
>>
>>343633908
Alcor ending isn't the canon ending, Yamato's is the canon one, it's literally called the True Ending.
>>
>>343633681
Don't worry, they make it quite obvious is not to be taken seriously. You can call female Yamato, Yamato in a drag several times...
>>
>>343634004
It's an amalgamation of various endings, since Alcor is still alive...
>>
>>343634090
As in the 3 endings of Record Breaker, the Yamato one is the canon one where MC, Daichi and Io return to their normal lives and go to college.

The become god ending is Alcor.
>>
>>343634185
Are you talking about the septentrione arc or the triangulum arc?

In septentrione wasn't Daichi's the 'canon' one?
And isn't 'record breaker' the canon in triangulum?

Septentrione canon ending is a modified Daichi ending where Alcor joins you, it's not a real route.

Triangulum canon ending is the Yamato Ending where Canopus is defeated and Alcor/ Cor Caroli survive.

But that's the shittest ending. I've never been a fan of the "now we're all back to normal!" endings, personally.
>>
>>343634785
Actually, there is more to the ending, the "going back to normal" is only part of it.

Also the alternatives are rather...painful.

Become god but be immortal and never meet your friends again, watch them age and die and you can never leave the throne of Polaris, your only friend for the rest of existence is Alcor. Or fight and murder every star (god) in the entire universe, which means a hundred trillion gods is a mere fraction of what you have to fight.

It aged incredibly well compared to FFX's battle system.
It was pretty much the perfect battle system you could get on the PS2 for turn-based job class systems.
If it wasn't called "FFX-2" it would have been much better received without having to be compared to the rest of FF.
The fact you could change job classes on the fly for example is something you never really see in games with job classes but it's so basic yet so good.

Honestly, JRPGs were largely about the story for me.

You don't see shit like Vagrant Story anymore for some reason. That game had it all, and it just seems like there's little to no creativity left in Japan for stories.

Well, I'd rather breakdown my choices to be honest. But one that comes to mind is the Witcher series.

Gameplays okay, but what really sets it apart is it's inherent sense of framing and scale.

The focuses on a specific section of the world and largely one character, this gives it an advantage in numerous ways over modern RPGS like Star Ocean where each character or planet feels thrown in or tacked on. The stories are not really globally centered around some world ending calamity (just war, pretty typical), but what's nice is you're just an above-average guy caught in the middle of things.

It's basically Western Vagrant Story.
