Should I get the pixel remasters of Final Fantasy IV and V, or only VI? I know VI is the one that's considered the all time classic, but I don't know if the other SNES FF games are anywhere near that level?

I'm only asking about those because I don't think I'd be interested in the first three since those are for the NES and seem like they'd be interesting primarily as a historical curiosity, and that's not really enough for me to spend money on personally.

I feel like there should be more (j)RPGs I like, but there just aren't.
I just want to play Final Fantasy 1 again forever, but different.
I just want to make my all own party with different build options. No preset characters/drama queen storyline.
I just want simplified "go do the thing" storytelling, no vainglorious writer living out his failed anime director dreams cranking out a novel with miles of dialogue boxes.
I just want resource and equipment management and finding a small but meaningful amount of interesting treasure, no diablo style crap where every piece of gear is 30+ random dice rolls of marginal sidegrade.

There's like almost no games that really fit these requirements in my mind besides Final Fantasy 1, Final Fantasy 3(j), Dragon Quest 3, and the Etrian Odyssey series. Then there's Wizardry and Bard's Tale I guess, and I like the Ultima series though most of them lack much character creation.

Gonna be replaying Morrowind for the first time since it came out. I haven't played any Elder Scrolls game since then. I remember hearing some tip that you don't actually want to make your most commonly used skills into major/minor skills, because they end up raising too fast and you get poor stat increases on level up. Where should I put the skills I actually want to use? I'm planning on playing a magic user by the way.

The Witcher 1: Romancing Shani and not Triss
download
I'm playing The Witcher 1 and in the second and third chapter I decided to romance Shani, instead of Triss, for Shani seems more caring with Geralt than Triss, that seems to be very libertine and fucking around just for personal gain. To not mention that she is just taking sexually advantage from him, due to his amnesia. Now she is mad at Geralt. What did you chose to romance during your first run and why?

Just started playing this few days ago.
Does it get better? so far it has been boring

The combat is simple and easy to get a grasp on but its not as fun as Wasteland 3 and you can't do a lot of things

You can't interact with the environment in fun ways, all im doing is inspecting what the game allows me to inspect, doing some simple combat and then reading a lot of text.

Speaking of text, i hate it when games dont put time and care to introduce me to the setting and the characters, they just start talking about whats happening like i care, there is also a lot of text my eyes start to hurt from all this reading, why so much text? this is a videogame

U.I is also very unintuitive and feels so clunky to navigate.

The game is not that bad but this was recommended to me as the best cyberpunk rpg of all time, but so far i'm not seeing that, does it get better or its not worth the time?

I've gradually begun to realize that the kind of RPG experiences I enjoy are not the story-driven save-the-world long contiguous narratives, but the ones that let you roam around free and go on your own adventures. Now I don't necessarily mean purely "open world" games like the Elder Scrolls, but I suppose that's not too far off.

I think what really makes the difference is, in the classic older RPGs, there tends to be a hard limit of just how long you can stay out and about. Whether it's food, potions, reagents, spellcasts, games like the older Ultimas and Final Fantasies let you go out on an "adventure" but you eventually have to return to town, stock up, sleep at an inn, and maybe (as the player) power down for the night and have another adventure tomorrow. I'm replaying FF1 for the Nth time and it amazes me that it's actually a perfectly expected strategy to poke into a dungeon, grab a few chests, and run like hell because you aren't yet equipped enough to tackle the whole thing in one go.

It moderates grinding; some people hate grinding in all forms, I don't. But grinding gets boring in easier games, like later JRPGs, when you're just doing the same thing infinitely without risk and never have to really worry about running out of resources. It's that sense of packing everything into an "expedition" and having a home base around some town or village, and eventually moving on to find a new one, that I really enjoy. Later JRPGs tend to be more linear so as not to provide this experience, and TES games tend to be easy enough to just carry on without ever really needing to base/camp up somewhere unless you install some hardcore survivalist mods.

There's a fair amount of classic games to get into that provide this experience, but does this sub-genre even really exist in the modern era at all? While there are a lot of older game design ideas that don't really work anymore, I think this type of freeform, compartmentalized adventuring could still have appeal today.

I didn't expect the first game in the SaGa series to be this bad.
SaGa
It has lots of issues, but the real killer for me is the inventory. Weapon durability encourages you to keep spares, but you can't carry shit. Lack of descriptions encourages you to experiment, but you can't carry shit. Unique shop inventories encourages you to buy now rather than trek back, but guess what? You can't carry shit!
You always need to drop things for key items, or to buy an upgrade item, a status healing item, or even just see what's in a chest. It was worse because I only had one human (1 Esper/Mutant, 1 Human, 2 Monsters) but it's a terrible system anyway.

I'm using a pirated RPG Maker MV. I already know how the thing works, and I'm ready to make my first game. I want to name it Dark Triad, but there's this thing known as 'dark triad personality.' On one hand, it sounds pretty cool for the name of my game to mean a combination of three personality traits: narcissism, machiavellianism, and psychopathy, but on the other hand, I feel like people will get confused when trying to search up the game (I'll make it free, no worries.) So is it acceptable to name my rpg Dark Triad?

Why is this game not discussed more frequently among the CRPG community? It's the most faithful adaptation of 3.5E D&D. It's focused on dungeon crawling. It's turn based, like all D&D adaptations should be. Plus the visuals are very nice. Yes, it was buggy on launch but it now runs perfectly fine with Co* and Temple+. Maybe because it is set in Greyhawk?
Anyway, ToEE thread.

I hate this shit more than you can imagine. Don't get me wrong... I love BG1 and think it's one of the best RPGs ever, but this xpac is complete bullshit (except for Durlag's Tower).
Werewolf Island and this damn Ice Isle look like shit and are boring as hell. It’s literally Beamdog-tier garbage.

this was the biggest disappointment of this game, other than the combat systems and the fact you needed to know exactly how to build your character to get anywhere

not a single good npc writer in this genre
ToP
Isn't funny how town npcs actually are the most dificult to write thing in 2D JRPG because you basically need to have strong history, fairy tales, mythology skills to properly write the backstory of the world which the npcs would give you hints to things like the relationship and history of the towns between each other.

But there's not a single JRPG writer or even WRPG that can properly wrtie the npc towns?

So what are you thinking will it flop or will it turn out good?
In my opinion the no quest thing makes it so that it will need to be feature heavy to make up for it and to allow the player to make the story himself.

Ragnarok
But this time I want to talk about industry trends and likely inspirations to speculate on the unexplained.

The most influential being the side scrolling game "R-Type" from the 80s and 90s. And really, where did the concept for the enemy "Bydo" originate from.

Ok i'm asking this in the vain hope that somebody THAT ACTUALLY HAS DONE IT can answer my question:
how do i make a succubus build work?
I currently can afford every skill except except whore of babylon and bloody mess and i can get all the equipment except for some of the piercings and yet i can't seem to be able to bring down a single goblin.
What gives?
Has there been a rebalance in the last update that fucked things up for this build?Do you need to have all the items and skills to make this build work otherwise it just doesn't?
Should i just say fuck it and go for the stealth archer build?
Help a nigga out.

Digimon World 1
Digimonworld
What is the /vrpg/ consensus on Digimon World 1? Unpolished gem to me, a highly unique art style and immersive world with it biggest flaw being that the evolution mechanics are too hard to understand for the target demographic (6-10 yo boys) making the criticism of it being a Numemon simulator fair enough. Pokemon was easy to understand for the same target demographic and gave rightful way to more success but I want to talk about the uniqueness/magic of DW1 here. No other DW game and not even any Pokemon game has this kind of magical element that I can not describe properly. The worldbuilding art style is way more detailed/quirky/diverse/even raw than other DW games and Pokemons worldbuilding art style is very minimalistic (Pokemon has more diverse monster designs). What is the Digimon World that COULD HAVE BEEN, if only they cleaned up the evolution/shitting mechanics, to you?

Best order to play modern Persona games?
persona-5-persona-4-et-persona-3-switch-annonce
With the leak/speculation/fake news about a new Persona 4 remaster, what's the best order to play 3-4-5 in their most modern versions for a newcomer? I'm interested to see answers from a gameplay mechanics perspective, as i've read that p3r builds upon p5r. Of course we know nothing about the potential p4(r) but I was thinking the current best order might be p4g-p5r-p3r? Or is the gameplay evolution overrated and one should just play 3-4-5 regardless of versions?

So I am playing pick after a long time.
For a while I read starting as a Warlock was the best option so I went for it.
I can only hire 3 troops as one which is similar to any mage but now I class changed and I am still only able to hire 3 troops as a mounted class!
Will the next class change increase my unit hiring count count or I am forever stuck at 3?
Should I restart?

Tyranny
ddd
I can't stand the Obsidian writing bloat holy shit it's so bad. The pretentious five dollar words, lore dumps, awful dialogue... Maybe a decent game was hidden beneath all of that (With many different choices and paths...) but I just couldn't get into it.

It reeked of something written by a pretentious failed writer who thinks that his twitter posts have an impact on the society or something. I rarely drop games without finishing them but man, Tyranny is actually unplayable. The world and the setting just completely failed to pull me in. It's my fault for giving an Obsidian game a chance, honestly. I should know better.

Fear & Hunger
my-image
I finished Fear & Hunger 2: Termina with all characters on Masoχ-S/M. Here's my final character ranking based on objective gameplay factors.
>S tier
Max consistency, no exploits needed to win the game.
>S- (exploit) tier
The easiest way to beast the game on the hardest difficulty if you use "exploits". Whether something qualifies as an exploit or not is subjective but it's easy to see why they're relying on things that go from "kind of overpowered" to "outright [de]bug abuse".
>A tier
It's honest work, but it's consistent.
>B tier
Would put S to A characters here, if you picked suboptimal starting skills.
>C tier
You get at least one useful reliable thing from your character's start.
>D tier
You get nothing, you need to get lucky to survive, highest demand on player's action skill (dodging enemies, planning your route well, etc.).

The most obvious exploit right away is the debug tile that gives you a rifle + bolt cutters. You can, in example, empty the rifle into Chaugnar in Tunnel 7 for a free extra early soul -> possibly earlier Weaponcraft -> Meat Grinder. The Chaugnar fight is easy to fuck up even when you've got good gear. Then there are Rher dimension exploits
>infinite food/small keys/money (and fast) from the neighbor near the Golden Gate in White Mold Apartments (accessible to anyone)
>infinite bear/booba traps from the top left darkness corner in the Broken Shack Rher dimension, accessible from the ritual circle
>extra Sylvan healing from Mayor's Manor ritual circle (requires entering the Rher dimension from Golden Gates)
Finally, you can get infinite Gro-goroth affinity with Blood Sacrifice, so if you use that you don't need to draw a symbol. Not as huge as it might seem though, you only need one circle to max Gro-goroth affinity (I would recommend using it in the manor).
