Why are JRPGs considered such a taboo to normals?
>>
Why do JRPG have boring turn based combat that refuse to add anything new to the formula? It can be turn based but not boring as a ll fuck.
>>
Things tend to be taboo when they are shit
>>
Because it's oversexualized children doing cringeworthy singing in moonrunes
>>
>>345486235
But they dont, there's many JRPGS that have different play style that isn't turn based, you just have too look.
That's like saying all FPSs are focused on being military.
>>
>>345486081
Things not from their own culture scare and confuse normals

dude its so AUTISTIC im CRINGING lmao so cringeworthy dude fucking weebs am I right reddit
>>
>>345486235
Bravely Default exists though.
Shame most other games don't have the balls to have a fast-forward button (other than auto-attack).

Their game play is often complicated and impenetrable to newcomers.
If you drop someone halfway through the game, they won't know how to progress aside from mashing A.

Most JRPGs are heavily narrative based. If you wouldn't read a book, you probably dont want to play a JRPG either.

The art style is also heavily influenced by japanese anime, which many people still associate with the "lol weird japan schoolgirl pantsu vending machines tentacle porn california roll" mentality that most americans still have about japan.

>realize combats are boring as fuck
>add a fast forward button instead of making them interesting
Wow
>>
>>345486801
Most jrpgs have a fucking auto button.
Do you know why most jrpgs let you skip dialog with the L shoulder buttons?
Because most japanese people play one-handed while they're grinding.
They're basically used to how tedious JRPGs are and refuse to change because "that's how it's always been".
>>
Where else can I find 30+ second long attack animations filled with particle effects if not a turn-based game?
>>
>>345487502
He means a fast forward during battle. Not auto. You have complete control over what the characters do in battle, and if you press right on the D-pad, the battle speeds up. There is also an auto button though.

Better question to ask is why people are trying force Love Live discussion here. There are two threads now trying this stunt.
>>
I think it's more that they are trying to push that girl than anything.
>>
>>345487836
The better question is why are people trying to subtly start Love Live discussion by opening threads with something that's not Love Live, when Love Live has video games (in fact, it was vidya first!) and therefore doesn't need to exploit rule loopholes in order to be posted here?

This girl is fucking crazy. I bet she gives awesome blowjobs

She's got awesome thighs, but then again so do most idols.

Wait, people actually like those generic sluts that replaced muse?

Pokemon is for fucking cringeworthy weebs dude. I aughta take a screenshot of this post and post it on reddit and make fun of you for being so autistic. I can't fucking wait, you fucked up you fucking weeb.

What the fuck?
Who the fuck cares?
I don't see a single memorable or standout character in aquors.
At least muse had maki and nico.

There's your issue.
>>
>>345486081
It used to be that if you wanted a semi-decent story or if you wanted an autistic grinding simulator, JRPGs were your best bet. They're vastly behind the times in both categories now. The whole genre is a relic from before stories and neet-friendly progression systems becoming commonplace in all games.
>>
>>345490989
IT'S JOKE
>>
>>345486081
Because they're not games. Just VNs with some barely held together, baby tier stat progression and combat pushed into an awful linear narrative with the most fucktarded story and dialogue.

The game mechanics aren't transparent and immediately clear.

It's not as simple as HERE GUN, SHOOT ALIEN WALK OVER HERE NOW!

I would bet money 9 out of 10 people would give up on Grandia because it's too hard.

I'm a JRPG fan, I just cringe when I see weebs calling them complicated or deep or hard. Because they arent.

Children can beat them and in fact many jrpg fans start in middle school or earlier.

You need to give Aquors some time because it just started after all. Things can change for them. You also forget: μ's sure as hell wasn't perfect. Outside of Maki, Nico and Nozomi, most of the cast ranged from okay (everyone else) to downright awful (Honoka and Eli). Worst cast scenario is that Aquors ends up like that as well.
>>
>>345498289
They look basically identical.

You people have no standards.
Even the idolmaster idols manage to look more or less unique.

anime is taboo
jRPGs are anime

>>345498289
Here's the main problem. I can't tell who the poster-girl is in this group. At least with Honoka it was obvious it was her. None of these designs scream "I'm the poster girl".
>>
>>345499860

I would assume the bottom left

Normalfags like their RPGs being cinematic movies so they prefer WRPGs over JRPGs which are still rooted in gameplay.

Because they don't have guns, violence and sex you know the stuff that is considered cool by today's standards.
