Have you ever played a game and wondered what if you could do something that it doesn’t really allow you to do, for example being able to move around blocks in Minecraft fluidly instead of in sectors, edit the world in Hogwarts legacy with spells, be able to fly in a world like Elden Ring or Elder Scrolls with epic sky...
I haven’t played Pikmin 4, but may experience with Pikmin 3 was, that game is interresting to play with a friend, but i try the single player mode a lot later. I don’t know, didn’t feel fun with it anymore. I feel the tutorial was terrible childish, because i have already played the game so it was horrible. I didn’t like the camera view anymore (don’t know why that wasn’t a problem with the wii U). I don’t feel the game with it’s characters and world. Maybe it was just the wrong time for the game for me. I could try Pikmin 4 if i ever get it cheaper. But i don’t think it’s difficult
Everyone has different tastes. My switch almost only has strategy games with Fire Emblem Engage/Three houses, Triangle Strategy and Wargrove. If you like games like that i would either start with Fire Engage if you like character focused games or if you like to do decision on a story then play Tiangle Strategy
I own the game on maybe ps4. Not a fan of open world games so i stopped playing it after few hours. Was maybe not fair to rank this game, but i like more character focus games like typical jrpg’s than western games that are not like that.
I’ve always found myself bouncing off hard on “make your own fun” type games like Minecraft or the newer Zeldas. This extends to any type of game that has no clear goals or motivators....
I’m think i’m the same as you. I don’t mind if a game is open world, sometimes i come back and do more in that open world, but i like the game to guide me throught that world with a maybe exiting story or clearly build level paths that are linear, that are designed to be done in a exiting way. I don’t want to be creative in games.
I've seen footage of wide open areas in the game, but I don't know if that footage is misleading or not. The game has a menu-based map, so does that mean each area is small and linear like the bog section in the demo? Or are you able to explore and find new areas on your own? How does the structure of the game compare to the...
I think it's even more linear than FF7 Remake and that shouldn't be possible. We all haven't finished the game yet, but there is not much Profi in running arround mich because lot of future paths are blocked and you don't find much items. There are a not much uninteresting side missions and the main story that is quite linear. The story is quite interesting and imersive, so the game is designed to follow the build path for an impressive experience, but if you want a game that gives you freedom, then FF16 is the wrong game. Start of the game hast 70/30 Story, gameplay, but it get less the further you get into it, but you will always be interrupted because of this imersive story that is in my opinion perfectly included.
Final Fantasy 16 is not really like a typical jrpg. As a dev the dev shouldn't really care about which genre a certain game has, just make a good game and don't care about jrpg, action game or whatever your game is. We player decide the genre to know which group of gamers are maybe interrested in the game.
Maybe they should gave Yakuza like a dragon a different name or make clear it's a different series as the kiryu series. I think someone should just change a genre of a franchise completly, but if they want do different games as spinoff of a franchise. Persona 5 is a spinnoff of the shinmegami tensei series and has some different approaches
I think this video showcases an interesting aspect of gaming that I never really thought about before. In their case, they play more games for a shorter amount of time vs spending a large portion of their time in few games....
There are a lot games i played over 100 hours. Every big mmorpg i played in the past has for sure over 100 hours. That would be Guildwars and Elsword for me. But since i'm a big jrpg fan, there are a few games that just take over 100 hours. Persona 5 for example. I played the original Persona 5 and Persona 5 royal, so about 200 hours on this game. The Trails of the cold steel series has quite long games, 3 out of 4 took me over 100 hours and i played them all one after another, so it took me about 400 hours to finish this series. I played Genshin impact for 500 hours i guess, but forget about that...i'm finished with this. I played maybe every Fire Emblem entry for over 100 hours, reaching on Three houses about 400 hours and on Engage already about 250 hours. Final Fantasy X is my favorite FF game i have played so much. Over the years for sure about 10 times, so i guess i played to 300+ hours. So there are a few fighting games i played for a long time, my favorite in the last years is Soulcalibur VI. I played Soulcalibur VI for about 800h i think. I still would say i play a big variaty of games, but i invest in some of them a bit more time. But i doubt i reach 1000h in any game recent game, only in the mmorpgs, but that was a long time ago.
So I'm currently playing through Pokemon Violet and I am enjoying. However, I've noticed something during my playthrough semi-recently that I've noticed whenever I play any Pokemon game: the level progression. Now in Pokemon Violet, it's open-world and also up to the player as to what path they take and what order they complete...
I think this game has a bad design. There are no mendatory trainers to beat, so people doesn't fight them at all. But the trainer were always a indication of the difficulty in the region. But this game is designed with the intention to go to the open world and catch a lot pokemon, which is boring for me. My recommendation to level would be to finish some raids, the exp is decent on them
Star Ocean the Divine Force was my first Star Ocean game. Had quite fun with it and would be for sure open the play The Second STory R. Hope that leak is correct
Does anyone know of any communities on Lemmy to talk about JRPGs? It's got to be one of my favorite genres, of which I'm probably most passionate about the Xenoblade series (though I've not had the chance to play the Xenosaga games)....
I haven't seen a jrpg community so far. But i would be joining the community as well. Almost only play jrpg's. Let me know if someone create a community or if you find one.
My favorite Jrpg's are Persona 5, Final Fantasy X, 7-Remake, Trails of Cold Steel series, Tales of Arise (yes like it more than berseria), Fire emblem games and Ys 8. I try to get into some smaller and older ones and for sure will play more indies in the future, because i have the feeling to play to much mainstream games.
