One of the best traditional JRPGs to be released on the Sony PlayStation 4 in 2016 (at least until Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force and Final Fantasy XV)

What is your opinion on this game?

She's wearing tights under the diamond-stuff, and then a dress on top of that. Fiore is basically walking around in her underwear, and she's the only one who does it.

Cant wait for Tales of Berseria. Even the small things we've seen from it shit all over Blunder Ocean 5

All of them wear the checkered leotard thing.

But the rest of the witches wear a shirt and skirt over them.

If you rush through it and ignore the crafting system, the skill system, the side-quests, the private actions, and who knows what else, sure.

I don't know why this has to be a conversation for every JRPG that's released. Some chucklefuck speedruns it and ignores half or more of the game, and then people doomsay that the entire thing is that short even if you 100% it.

>>343540675
That's exactly what I'm saying. She's the only one who wears JUST that. Everyone else wears actual clothing.

I have been enjoying the game, about fifteen hours in. I haven't had the full party for all of five minutes yet. They really teased me with the ability to use a ship for a little while, I guess it was saving me from myself because my gold and exp gain was way slower during that time.

Also Fiore busts balls in her PAs constantly, holy shit.

I like that one NPC girl in Resulian and waves her arms from side to side as she walks. Kawaii.

There is a lot of backtracking for sidequests and I fight a large majority of battles along the way, it eats up time. I haven't had to grind once but I did farm for a few minutes to get 10 ebony for a quest. The world is pretty small so farm like I said, a lot of backtracking.

panties on the potato got remodeled

before her buttcheeks were sticking out, now they are fully covered by what are essentially old school panties, this change is for ALL versions of the game so they didn't need to make different versions for every region.

Always follow the dick anon.

The dick uses the ancient method of survival to lead you where you need to be.
The dick brings you happyness.
The dick guides your way.
The dick is the connection between a man and his desires.
Just don't stick it everywhere.

>>343543647
It wasn't so much a censorship as a design change they wanted to make. They wanted to emphasize how Miki is more innocent and girl-next-door than someone like Fiore or Anne, and so taking that little bit of fanservice out and giving her less slutty panties helped with that.

you don't have to whiteknight the devs, they came right out and said it was a decision influenced by "sexy underwear not being allowed in the West", they were directly told by the publisher to change it, and they changed the JP version to avoid the kinda shit #FE got

but instead, both america AND japan bitched about the change. despite how tiny the change was.
>>
>>343543914

Oh I know full well anon, if you look at the filename I called the 2channers virgins because they completely overreacted and thought the devs were bowing down to SJWs or something when in fact they were simply doing what the fuck they wanted and I am 100% ok with what they did, it makes no sense for potato to have such lascivous panties when she is supposed to be a pure hearted girl, it's just such stupid dicotomy that the anime industry has decided to abuse for many years ruining a lot of characters' images.

>>343543914

Nonsense, the devs stated multiple times they changed it because of pressure from western countries in recent times.

This is completely ridiculous, I do not give a flying fuck about the panties since potato is fucking shit to even look at but holy fuck I am mad, what the fuck do these devs even fear from the west? Why do they care? They are FUCKING JAPAN for fuck sake, the makers of Lolita Anime, the inventors of tentacle rape, the master of censorship avoidance through symbolism and imagery and yet here they are making stupid compromises for a market that doesn't even exist. holy shit the absurdity of this all makes me question if they even go outside of their homes.

It is. Generally it'd just be shorts and that's it. That means someone thought of that and added textures for panties under the shorts. I didn't say it was polished, I said attention to detail.

Private Actions. Optional conversations you can have with party members in towns where you can boost your relationship points with them and learn more about them. It's important now since they brought back multiple endings.

To be fair, there would probably have been a bigger outrage if Fiore were censored. I think it was just any censoring at all due to the West. That also probably gave them a scare that more was gonna be censored.

they aren't afraid of the publisher either. they are almost always simply doing what they're told. with cucks like Ono changing shit in SFV it's different, but for a game like this the dev made it obvious that the publisher demanded the change, he didn't really understand it, but that's what he was told, so he changed it.

Who the fuck cares in what thread we are, Zestiria has no reason to be played when you realize the story was rewritten by the autistic producer because of his bullshit infatuation with a voice actress, if the gameplay was decent I would understand, but it's nothing but a shittier graces with a tacked on meme open world with nothing in it, you are either enjoying the loli or crazy.

I haven't finished it yet but the story's enjoyable. At worst it's just mediocre and not extremely engaging. It's not terrible like SO4's was, so that's a step forward anyway. The game isn't short. 20 hours is a bullshit claim and several people have already said they've put in that amount and aren't done.

Characters are good. Miki's personality isn't as bad as her face would make you think.

The battle system is a tad weird.
You just gotta chain light, heavy and techniques together to deal extra damage. It's pretty simple

>it's like they are living in a fantasy world.
no they just live in a different society with different culture

in their culture, PC is not the most popular platform for games and pirating is basically non-existent (hence why they still decide the fate of anime shows based on bluray sales)

the japanese have barely even begun to embrace the PS4; many of their recent games have been projects ported over from PS3 to 4, including SO5 and Persona 5.

apparently bamco was resistant to releasing Zestiria on ps4 at first because they thought it was a waste of money.

slowly they are coming to accept the ps4 but many jp fans and devs alike just don't want the extra costs and don't need the higher power of the ps4, cuz all their jap weeb games look and run fine on ps3 already
>>
>>343545938
>indie titles means Japan really honestly cares about PC as a platform
They're indie titles for a reason, anon. Because it's cheap for some indie devs to make. Touhou is on PC because it was just ZUN and he didn't have the money. There's a huge difference between that and actual devs like Squre-Enix and Tri-Ace seriously looking at the platform as a viable way to sell their game in numbers close to consoles.

>The game isn't short. 20 hours is a bullshit claim and several people have already said they've put in that amount and aren't done.
Took me 29 hours and I haven't done the secret dungeon. I also skipped quite many side quests and that of course means I forgot half of the specials. I didn't even mange to unlock the skill to open the blue chests
>>
>>343545795
There's nothing to get about the combat really. It doesn't fly half the time. It tries to do a rock, paper, scissors type deal but doesn't account for the fact that battles often become clusterfucks and enemies are capable of doing their guards/strong attacks incredibly fast before you can react. Oh and bosses can't even be interrupted from their strong attacks so that system goes right out the fucking window. Ranged characters don't even have to pay attention to the system.

The only thing you need to do is build up cancels and then use a skill/magic for more damage. Some characters have weird timing on cancels though.
>>
>>343546063
It's simple but I think it's engaging, and it's not a major pain to go in and out of combat. I think it's one of the best aspects of the game.

I think I'm 12-14 hours in and I've only hit Languedoc. Haven't even gotten access to the ship or the full party yet, but I take my time doing side-quests. Story wise I think I'm not even 20% into the game.

Miki gets hate just because of her face, I think. I thought I'd hate her for that and being the childhood friend, but she's actually pretty entertaining.

The sidequests are easily the worst part of the game so far. So fucking repetitive and so much backtracking through the same small amount of areas. Having no fast travel is just torture.

Game had me excited until I found out the art chaining and combo system is still archaic as fuck.

Nigga 4 was a great game with good ass combat. The story was also entertaining .
>B-BUT THE STORY WAS TRASH!!!!!!!!
Nah boy, if you think 4's story is trash then 5 is hot garbage. The combat in 5 is also dog shit. There is literally no redeeming quality for star ocean 5.
Please hop off the game's dick and admit it's trash.

Not him, but why is she wearing that outfit if she isn't on some level, a slut?

Actually this is a think on a lot of Japanese stuff that sort of disconnects the character design from the character personality. Like how you have a really innocent schoolgirl wear a skirt so short even the most veteran k-pop idol would be embarrassed.

Fan service is great, but at least make it fit with their personality. Titillation comes in many forms, not just skimpy clothing.

Speaking off Tales, I've only really played Graces F(but I quit because the combat was pretty shit) are there any of the PC ones worth playing? I've heard the series is borderline unplayable these days.
>>
>>343551920
Yes because those dlc costumes just show that the post game content will end up like Zestiria which was fucking garbage. Previous Tales you could unlock costumes without wasting a single penny. So yes it is a really grave problem.
>>
>>343552213
>Graces F
>I quit because the combat was pretty shit
Tales is not for you
>>
>>343552065
Not him but It's honestly a good question.
Anytime a character brings up her outfit the conversation goes "oh you like it? I think i have one in your size"
I think it's just so she stands out.
>>
>>343552213
If you didn't like Graces then don't play the games afterwards because they a are significantly worse
>>
I'm just waiting until the price drops because there's no way a game like this is gonna stay 60$ for more than a month.

That said, I like star ocean, but 8 characters on screen is a bit much from what I've seen. How does the game compensate for that? Cuz I'm envisioning massive stunlocking once you get all 8.
>>
>>343552213
There are two Tales on Steam.
Zesty which is garbage, avoid at all costs. Like Dawn of the New World garbage. Tempest garbage. Do not play Zesty.
The other is Symphonia, it's a shitty port with some bullshit DRM that fucks with your computer.

If you have a PS3 play Xillia 2. If you have a 360 play Versperia. If you know Japanese play Vesperia PS3. If you have a Vita play Hearts R. If you have none of the above then emulate Symphonia or Abyss on your PC.

I picked up Tales of Zestiria because of threads on /v/ saying it was good and i wanted a JRPG

Is this ACTUALLY good, or "good JRPG", because Zestiria is pretty bland and mediocre, riddled with camera and AI issues, plays like a bad PS2 action game.

I'm buying the best DLC costumes the moment they become available. I just hope they don't pull a Lightning Returns and release costumes nine months after everyone beat the game.

>>343552710
Whoever told you it was good lied to you.
Did you ignore ten other people who said it was bad?
>>
>>343552270
That's what I feared. I played a bit of Symphony as well, and it was quite enjoyable, if a bit to generic.

Funnily enough I heard everyone hated the characters and story in Graces but I sort of didn't mind them, but everyone praised the combat but I thought they were pretty uninteresting. They felt to weird, like you were trying to constantly work against the system, like it was to caught up in being "unique" the action ended up feeling pretty bad. Would have much preferred a simpler, but more open system.

But what do I know, it was years ago since I played it.

>>343552480

That's pretty much Xillia then.

>>343552934
Shills or morons with no taste.

>>
>>343552710
>i wanted a JRPG
This is where the trickery begins. It's a high production JRPG, but it absolutely lacks true freedom. You are constantly going where the game wants you to. Heck, I'm eleven hours into this one and I finally get to use a transporter again.
>>
>>343552710
Your first mistake is listening and going on /v/.

Go check out the game(s) yourself.
>>
>>343552710
The ai is weird because they work off of roles so if you don't fuck around with them then your team will stand around doing nothing
Camera is better than Zestiria but still has issues here and there.
The combat is simple enough for a toddler to do so it gets repetitive quickly.
In the end it's an average JRPG that you should play but only if you can get it on sale.
>>
>>343553130
>That's pretty much Xillia then.
Interesting. Is it more like a "classical" action RPG where it's you and enemies locked in a small arena and from there on it's basically the most simple and braindead DMC you've ever played?

Because I kinda like that. More than I should.
>>
I downloaded Tokyo Mirage but I got kinda bored, went out and bought Star Ocean 5 and I've been playing it for 7 hours nonstop-

It's not the best but it's a pretty decent JRPG and It's fun.

That jiggle....
>>
>>343553149
Actually, are there any jrpg's that are more open?

It's one of my big gripes with them, "let's make everything a corridor with a few paths that leads to a shitty chest" sort of kills a lot of games for me. And adding a world map to that formula doesn't really change shit.

>>343553484
Does it need knowledge of the previous games?
>>
>>343553309
>Implying i didn't

I watched reviews and gameplay, and the camera issues didn't seem as horrendous as they actually are, and most of the gameplay was either in wide open areas or at the beginning of the game where the cracks have yet to show

The cheesy ass story i don't mind though, it actually reminds me of Kamen Rider or Super Sentai, but the localization screams "creative liberties"
>>
>>343553451
Not really, you still target enemies and run towards them specifically but it's easier to play around with your skills than Graces, you aren't locked into a flowchart and the system is much more flexible.
>>
>>343542746
damn she's cuter than pink shit.
>>
>>343553683
I see. That's a bit of a shame. The locked down movement was one of the big things I disliked about Graces F.

Oh well, guess the series isn't really for me. No biggie.
>>
>>343553642
>jrpg's that are more open?
Well there's Xenoblade but that's open like it's a single player MMO or something and there's shit all to do in the open world and almost no reason for it.
Japan isn't great at making sandboxes.
>>

Welcome to pretty much every jrpg ever.

Pretty much every NPC is is better designed than the main characters because they don't wear 300 belts, wear checker leggings, or is dressed like a gothic lolita, but sort of normal, but with some nice anime on top of it.
>>
>>343553642
>Actually, are there any jrpg's that are more open?
Not really. The games which do allow you to visit various areas, never have activities. I kept unlocking new cities in Digimon, only to discover how pointless it is.
>>
>>343553807
Doesn't even have to be fully open world. Just more open. Add some exploration to the game for god sakes, it's supposed to be an RPG. Make the world feel a bit more immersive and real.

It's a shame, because they can design a lot of interesting worlds, but they almost never make it feel real and like an actual place where people live.

This.

So much shit tends to happen on screen that battles dont play out so easily in the manner the game tells you of.

Now if its a single enemy to focus on ,then it can be easier to focus on the rock,papper scissors, aspect, but in enemy encounters on the field or multi boss battles shits hectic and its better to just run out of the direction of things than try to gaurd and counter, but they are nice to use just to feel like you are skilled and shit if you can pull them off at the correct timing, which isn't that difficult cause you can just mash anyway.

>>343538674
So far the game is a 7.5 on my jrpg meter.

Even though im at the start of the game(when you look for the enemies hideout) its interesting enough to keep me playing it and the combat is fun enough to not get boring over time and the soundtrack is great.

I dont feel like the combat is as good as SO3 though.

Maybe it was becasue SO3 was slow enough for you to anticipate and properly apply the rock,paper,scissors aspect to it.

SO5 feels much faster than SO3 was, but maybe that's just me cause i haven't played 3 in a decade.
>>
>>343554535
It's to do with Japanese culture.
People believe in the correct way of doing things and they struggle to create reasons to do other things. They want to be told exactly what to do and then do it.
If you give them a big world to explore they don't know what to do, get confused, then go shitpost about it on the internet and bomb the Amazon review score.

This is a problem with videogames in general, to be honest

Even in places like Termina in Majora's Mask, one of the better developed cities in videogames because everybody lives on their own schedule and has their own quests, you're forced to believe shopkeepers just sleep in their own shops, somehow get items from out of town without traveling outside of town with rare exceptions,

Once you redeem the code found in the Day One Edition, you get all the items at once. You rest at an in or bed, and it unlocks. You then go to the menu and click on the area "Battle Music Pack" then choose the one you want to use. I had completely forgotten about those until I read your post.

Didn't finish it. Know why?

fucking nothing, Skyrim was horrid. Don't tell me otherwise. Morrowwind with better graphics and a new setting / story / etc was all I wanted but all they had to do this oversimplification and retardation of things and make the buggiest piece of shit they could. Even looking past the bugs you can tell that they took everything shit from Oblivion and made it just a little worse with slightly better graphics. The combat is just this side of bare-bones and the lack of any actually interesting magic anymore is fucking terrible.

I hope japs never do understand what Skyrim did because their games would be worse for it. Skyrim is an oversimplification of a decent game series made to sell to everyone and their mom (I know because I know several moms and grandmoms that fucking play / played the game) with a big sandbox.

des and bloodborne look and run much better than ds1 and 2, and bb look better than 3 too, they are better games overall(dark souls 1 is good, but have shit fps+shit graphics+sucks after ornstein and smough, dark souls 2 is shit the entire game and 3 is good but not as good as des and bb).

Maybe this isn't the place to ask, but is Fairy Fencer F worth playing on Steam or should I just wait for the PS4 version?

I bought it on Steam a while ago but never ended up playing it because other shit on my backlog came up. But now I have time to play it. Should I wait?

I feel like Fiore plays worse than Myuria did even though early fiore's doing better damage than early myuria. Like Fiore takes a hell of a long time to chant a spell and have it come out, where you can start a long range spell on an enemy hitting relia in the face and it has plenty of time to run over and use a strong move and slap fiore out of her spell just before it comes out and cancels it. Meanwhile Myuria could juggle sit in the air with her spells, even if they did piss compared to melee

The PS4 version added new characters, scenarios, party size, and the ability to choose which fairy pairs with which character. Basically, there is a lot more freedom to create the parties that you want.

They actually admitted is was a change they made only to appease "certain political" groups in the west and that they did not want to do it. Only that made japanese gamers even more outraged so they backtracked and said they always wanted to make the change.

So it was censorship.

So is this game worth $48? All the reviews are bashing it, but majority of posts here praise it.

I hope to Jesus they patch some shit in where you can change the field character you walk around as. Fiore all day.

It sucks this isn't possible. Why even have character switching then? Might as well play with MC forever.

Building a PC to play console left overs is retarded.

Even if that's what I mostly play, I use it for more.
Games aren't $80 like on consoles too.

I honestly have. I changed a few times in battle and then said fuck it. Haven't changed since. There's really no point to me.

Unrelated to all this though, where the fuck is Kingdom Under Fire II? The old gifs of titty elf girl walking made me interested.

Where is it?

If it hasn't been confirmed yet then I wouldn't get my hopes up.

If you like JRPGs that don't include a party full of cute animals, your choices on the PS4 are pretty slim.
