Hi
I'm the objectively greatest JRPG of all time.

Excuse me.
Wrong pic.
>>284501380
not even the best mario rpg
>>284501415
you are close second place. If nocturne had the polish/atmosphere/actual plot DDS had it would be the better game
>>284501653
Paper Marios are boring and M&L game are shit.
>>284501216
These are in my massive backlog why should I play them?
>>284502428
That's a MMO anon.
What are the best SMTs for DS/3DS?
>>284501983
Amazing atmosphere/soundtrack
Very free form character building
Fun/challenging combat
Interesting story with an amazing ending.
If you've ever enjoyed an SMT/persona game you will love them, they're in this wierd ven diagram where they take aspects from basically every one of the little spinoffs/sub-series they've made.
The two games combine to be the length of most jrpgs as they're basically just two halves of one game, so even if you aren't feeling it it won't take too much of your time to get to DDS2 (which is probably the better game?)

>>284501415
Good
>>284502428
Literal turd
P2/3/4,DDS1/2,Nocturne,Xenogears,FFVI,FFTT,Chrono Trigger and Valkyrie profile are all god-tier JRPG's

>>284502802
>P2/3/4,DDS1/2,Nocturne,Xenogears,FFVI,FFTT,Chrono Trigger and Valkyrie profile
Good list anon,you forgot Suikoden II and Chrono Cross
>>284501653
What the fuck are you talking about, Nocturne has a real psychedelic atmosphere everywhere and DDS completely lacks it.
Plot is goddamn horrible too.
>>284502802
Chrono Trigger sure is overrated...
>>284503369
>Plot is goddamn horrible too
not him but the plot is good,besides it at least has a plot,Nocturne has none
>>284502802
>P3/4
Go back to your visual novels.
>>284503106
FF 12
(ADB)
>The player has the choice of confronting enemies or keeping their distance and exploring the area. Some creatures will not instigate battle with the party unless the party attacks first, and some enemies encountered on the field will be far too powerful when the party first meets them, adding an element of risk to an all-out-attack methodology when first exploring areas. The player has control over a single party member's movement while engaged in battle and the distance between party members and enemies influences battles as various spells and abilities have an Area of Effect (AoE), meaning party members and enemies need to be within a certain range of each other for the abilities to hit.
FF 11
(RTB)
>As the battle takes place without a separate battle screen loading one is free to move around the landscape during battles, interact with other players or avoid battles altogether. Monsters may attack players without provocation, retaining a hint of random encounters. Characters start attacking automatically once they are in combat with an enemy, and special commands and magic can be input any time. Many items, spells and abilities used during battle have a casting time or delay to use once activated, similar to Active Time Battles.
No they're nothing alike
>>284503603
nice meme
>>284503519
>Nocturne has none
That's not necessarily a problem
>>284503519
>at least has a plot
And it weight the game down too much.
Nocturne wasn't about the story, it was about the weird-ass atmosphere, twisted world, exploration and fun interactions with demons (that demon bar with Nyx being the owner or unsuccessful attempt to summon the dick demon). DDS has a shitload of badly voiced, overly dramatic moments that are simply impossible to bear and story itself is really nothing special of worthy praise.
>>284503603
>VN
>Didn't mention Xenogears
Good way to show that you're just a newfag in JRPG's and didn't play xenogears anon.
Opinion discarted
>>284503963
Xenogears had enough gameplay to matter, instead of >social links the game
![Talesoftheabyss_us[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/ojftJEy.jpg "Talesoftheabyss_us[1].jpg")

Move over for a JRPG with gameplay.
>fucking love DDS1
>start playing DDS2
>mfw during the whole plot twist
>>284503880
>(that demon bar with Nyx being the owner or unsuccessful attempt to summon the dick demon)
You mean two things in a 70 hour game? I sure do love talking to the same fucking ghost or GUY THAT TALK LIEK DIS expositing bullshit plot points that don't matter the entire game.
The only parts of nocturne that have atmosphere are the hospital, the amala stuff and the obelisk. Most of the game is just random somewhat ruined japanese buildings or the same underpass/cave dungeons repeated over and over
DDS has way better atmosphere with places like muladahara
>>284503519
>Nocturne has none
Wow you mean like all the SMTs?
>>284504103
P3Fes has 10:20 of cutscenes and 100 hours of total length if you count the answer.MGS4 has 8:20 of cutscenes and only 17h of full length
>wanting plot in a main SMT game
God fucking damn it, neo/v/

>>284504409
MGS4 is silly, let's not talk about it.

You're looking for the rougelike general.

>MGS4 is silly, let's not talk about it.
I was just proving a point
>Why do tales game have to be fun but have shit characters?
Tales are very mid-tier JRPG's,they are no great or even bad,just mediocre
Best handheld JRPG
>>284504409
P3fes is actually fine in the cutscenes department,P4 that goes crazy with this17 hours of cutscenes
>>284505393
The only amazing thing about SJ is the OST

>>284505684
I haven't posted on /v/ in like 3 or 4 years but I'm postring right now to tell you you're a raging faggot for thinking TWEWY is anywhere close to the best handheld JRPG.
Devil Survivor is my first SMT. Sorry /v/.
>>284507204
Better than Persona 3 or 4.
>>284507092
Sorry you waited so long to be wrong.
>>284501216
Thats not DQV
>DDS
The characters are more anime than anything you find in Persona.
>>284501216
Except that's impossible, because that implies a JRPG could be anything other than a weebtrash visual novel with some baby tier casual combat to fill in the gaps of 9,000,000 bland and pointless dialogue & exposition and 40 hours of cutscenes.
>>284507293
TWEWY's fanbase and the Kingdom Hearts fanbase are the same. That should tell you all you need to know about that game.
Best game of all time coming through
>>284507274
How are the first two? I get mixed opinions.
>>284503723
You're about 5 levels below me and still trying to act like you're educating me. It really is the weirdest fucking feeling.
>>284507496
>judging a game by its fanbase
oh boy
>>284501216
SPACE HINDUS
>people hating on DDS voice acting when it's supposed to be flat and emotionless
why
>>284507274
you sure have brain damage if you actually believe that.
>>284507780
P3/4 are good,don't listen to the autist,P1 is trash and P2 is actually very good
>>284508127
>persona 4 is good
no it isnt'
>>284507780
I haven't played P1, but P2 is terrible. The plot and characters aren't bad, but it inexplicably has worse gameplay than most NES RPGs. Even mechanics they borrowed from SMT that are usually fun, like demon negotiation and fusion, are complete shit in P2.
>>284508212
P3 is better but P4 is a great game too.
>>284501653
>not even the best mario rpg
Yea it was.
But Paper and M&L were pretty good games too.
Mario RPG was just ahead of its time in graphics.
>>284508119
I am unable to derive the semantics of your vernaculars.
>>284501216
so close and so far anon
Someone tell me if I'm wrong here.
Is this the general gist of SMT games:
>demons take over the world/people are transported to a world of demons
>you, the MC, are tasked with investigating what's going on
>you recruit demons along the way, and even gain their abilities
>you meet at least two people along the way
>at first they seem like pretty decent fellows with a friendly disposition
>over time, the presence of demons start taking its toll on them
>one of them starts sympathizing with demons and thinks their current situation isn't so bad, after all
>the other is consistently wary of demons, and turns to angels for help
>one wants to maintain the status quo of demons, and the other wishes to eradicate all demons and form a peaceful utopia
>you can join sides with one of them, but you have to kill the other; the rest of the game focuses on you and your buddy shaping his/her ideal world
>you can also choose to kill both of them, and set things relatively straight; this ending is preferred by most people
>>284509016
that's more or less the case of the main series, yeah
>>284509016
the "gist" is that you only described two games.
>>284509016
>at first they seem like pretty decent fellows with a friendly disposition
Wrong
>>284507462
>look mom i'm a retarded
>>284507704
That fucking battle theme is so god damn hype
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYVXdQQoAcc
>>284502590
all of them. just get all of them.
>>284509016
SMT has always been "pokemon for adults" the game.
You capture demons (pokemon) and use them to fight other demons (pokemon). Occasionally you have to fight very powerful demons (pokemon trainers). In the end, the head demon Lucifer (charizard) is defeated and you become the new king (misty)
>>284509016
you've got very generalized concepts from several games in there, but none of that is completely accurate for the whole series, especially if you lump Devil Summoner and DDS games in with the main series
>>284509626
this is the weakest bait i've seen
>>284509626
You mean to say, Pokemon is "SMT for kids"
>>284509626
>In the end, the head demon Lucifer (charizard) is defeated and you become the new king (misty)
>>284509718
Isn't SMT about killing God?
>>284501415
I really want to enjoy this game but the demon negotiations are trying my patience.
>>284509016
What I've noticed is that the Chaos guy is usually an obnoxious hotshot, and the Law guy is usually stoic and calm.
Has there ever been an SMT with a brash Law character, and a silent Chaos character?
>>284501216
I find it hard to say that a game where you become a hermaphrodite by fusing with your love interest just before the final dungeon is the greatest anything of all time.
Much like a lot JRPG's the 1st half was a lot better than the 2nd.
>>284510084
You can also join God. (or kill god because god has lost god's way or some shit, I didn't play II)
>>284505393
I'd rather play Persona 2 on PSP.
>>284510038
Jokes are supposed to be funny.
Why does no one like Law?
>>284501216
that moment where you realize MCwas a giant asshole all along and Heat got fucked because of itmade me sad
>>284510084
it depends what game, SMT II is about that, the others aren't
>>284510084
it's about taking down the tyrannical Mr. Clean
>>284510084
Only if you're an spastic chaosFAG
>>284503369
Nocturne needed less random battles and it would have been perfect.
>>284510258
Because it's shit.
>>284510084
No, but you can fuck up Lucifer if you want.
>>284510286
but in SMT II you kill god in both the neutral, chaos and law paths, he is the shared final boss of the game by all paths
>>284501216
But you're wrong.
>want to replay SJ
>remember Fornax
>>284510084
YHVH is the final boss of SMT II on all routes, you fight him for a different reason depending on the route. Even though you defeat him, you can't kill him, since he will have power as long as one person desires a world of law/stability.
In Nocturne, an avatar of YHVH (Kagutsuchi) fights you to be sure you are fit enough to create a new world.
In SJ the ultimate boss is an avatar of YHVH gone rouge (Demiurge).
In some games God isn't a factor, and on Chaos routes you fight his subordinates (Michael in 1, Merkahbah in IV)
On Law routes you usually fight Lucifer allthough in SMT 1 you fight Beelzebub and in SJ Mem Aleph.
>>284510258
Because they take things too far.
Their main objective is to get rid of demons, but they more or less end up enslaving/brainwashing humanity so that they may no longer commit evil.
>>284510491
>fornax
>>284510258
Because people have shit taste.
>>284510549
>not Sector Grus
>>284510502
>On Law routes you usually fight Lucifer allthough in SMT 1 you fight Beelzebub
That's wrong, beelze is an optional ultimate boss. The final boss of law is Asura
>>284504215
NOt even close to the best PS2 Tales game, let alone Tales game, let alone JRPG
>>284510772
Oops. It's been a while, my memory is hazy
>>284508629
idk that SNES 3d is bretty gross m8.
Considering he is Dark aligned, is Adachi Law or Chaos?

>>284512334
If you think Abyss is better than Destiny or even Rebirth you're a stupid knuckle dragger and I don't apologize for thinking so
>>284511414
Not really.
Chaos = Anarchy
Law = Dictatorship
You wouldn't want either of these in the real world.
Don't mind me, just being the actual best JRPG.

They're called lawtists for a reason.Post Walter edits. I need more.
Why do people enjoy SMT games so much ? It's literally hit the ennemy with it's elemental weakness and heal to keep yourself alive.
Nocturne had some additional micromanagement needed because kundas/kajas were actually good in it and Dekunda and Dekaja were important, but otherwise it was the same old shit.
Games with such primitive resource management and action economy as the SMT games can't really be greatest anything.
