>> No.8143005

I was playing FFXIII before Skyward Sword came out.
It's a really challenging game. Not because it's hard, but because it's boring, linear and slow.
I wonder if I'll ever finish it, now that there are so many JRPG's just about to be released.

Waiting for Tales of the Abyss to come out tomorrow. I never played it before as it didn't come out here on the PS2, so yeah, looking forward to another Tales adventure.

I'll play along
I'm playing Brandish: Dark Revenant, a psp remake of a snes roguelike (made by Falcom)
It's a fun little game; it's not super difficult, but it's good to play in quick bursts. And it requires no Japanese to play (all the puzzles are straightforward and there's barely any dialogue), although it makes me question why it wasn't localized.

I'm looking forward to Graces F, Shining Blade, Meruru, and Mk2, none of which seem all that amazing

I find the Wizardry series to be hilareous when discussing JRPGs and WRPGs. And the series itself is older than both of terms. In the west we have had roleplaying games such as Dungeons and Dragons, and it is kind of hard to get any more "western" than that. Then though, we get a whole bunch of attempts to put D&D and similair ideas into a streamlined concept suitable for digital games. As a result we got stuff along the lines of Eye of the Beholder and similair games. These games were navigated through menus with skills and options, and of course simple attacks etc. If not entirely turn based, then it was most likely using "psuedo-realtime", as with cool down on actions and character turns, like that of many Final Fantasy games. But in the end, these games, adapted from D&D and the like, are still to this day for most part classified as classic WRPGs, based on some of the most "western" games we have, Pen&Paper D&D. Then though, we naturally get lots of games inspired by these (for your information, theapanese were very inspired by these western games.) such as the series mentioned, Wizardry, among other things. This series was made by Sir-Tech Software, and was in essence inspired from the many games inspired from D&D. And naturally this series is still held as western, just like the games before it, and came to be held in high regard as one of the more notable western games/game series. And later works its way up as one of the renowned RPGs made in Western history, granting it a WPRG status.

>> No.8143198

>>8143189
Then though, much later. Japanese developers, copying practically the entire concept of Wizardry, down to the very mechanics, and we get result such as the Class of Heroes series for an example. What I find funny though, is that when people take a look at Class of Heroes for instance, despite basically being a direct port of one of the most classic western RPGs ever made, people still go "HURR JPRGs AWFUL! DURR WRPG >>> JRPG!!1!". And that's just ironic, if anything. Truly to differ between "JRPGs" and "WRPGs" is incredibly overrated and pointless.

It's been some days since I've booted my PS2 due to Skyrim, but I'm going through Digital Devil Saga, 10+ hours in.
The battles feel kind of meh, consisting on a first try to see the enemy's attributes, and then a second one already prepared to repel/absorb elements for immunity/extra turns.
The last time I played I was stuck on a boss with ridiculous damage output and defense.
The setting is kind of ridiculous. 'We live in a world the size of New York(?) and we must kick each other's asses'. But some foreshadowing suggests there's more to it than that.
But overall, Shouji Meguro's music makes it more than enjoyable.
Oh God, I just remembered this.

It depends on the game. Some play great at even x4 native resolution, while others drop to around 40fps on native.

I was playing Front Mission 4 on it just fine yesterday, but I noticed that during actual gameplay my core temps were around 60 (celcius) which is fine, but during simple item screens a few jumped up to 80 fucking degrees. I'll never understand emulation.

Just finished FFT: War of the Lions. I started it back on PSX way back when and never got around to finishing it, and it's finally over. Probably could've racked up a lot more gameplay time by doing errands and shit, but I was playing mostly just to finish what I started back in the 90's.

Man, that ending. Not sure how I feel about it. It was nice to not have an "And they lived happily ever after" end, but it didn't give me any of the closure I was hoping for. Still, overall a great game, end boss was easy as fuck.

End felt kind of rushed. Otherwise a fantastic game. Used Agrias from the moment she was a playable party member. Can't help but wonder what happened to her in the game, as she was never mentioned in the epilogue.

Not sure what I'll play next....

The problem is that Western Wizardry games evolved, while Japanese Wizardry games (and their descendants, like Elminage and Class of Heroes) stayed rooted to circa-1986 concepts. Wizardry 8 is an absolute masterpiece that I dearly wish somebody, anybody would examine and build upon. But instead we get endless step-based games that would be possible on Apple II. Though to be fair, this is true of modern Western-developed Wizardry-style games too. Everybody sucks.
