Octopath

I just got the 8 base subclasses unlocked in Octopath. I'm having a lot of fun with it desu

depends on your personal preferences
personally I would go for octopath. Disgaea's for a certain mood...

octopath is boring but disgaea is painfully unfunny

don't listen to this retard . octopath is low budget indie garbage tier and is only brought up by game starved Nintendicksuckers. it's a fucking 4/10 turd

Not sure about Disgaea, but Octopath has the slow pace of a late 90's JRPG. Also can't skip random encounters

you can recommend other turn based JRPGs, I recently got into turn based JRPGs and I'm basically obsessed.

I was also thinking about giving Chrono Trigger a try.

The game is multiplat

Disgaea but both are good.

Octopath is one of my favorite games on the switch. I genuinely dont understand/ v/'s disdain for it, it's great. Fun combat, great job system, one of the best soundtracks in a Square game, interesting visuals. It's not perfect, the dungeons are a little mundane and doubling up field skills is kind of lame but I still liked it a lot

Octopath is better than that other garbage

Disgaea is not a JRPG, it's a TRPG (Tactical RPG) so they aren't equivalent at all.
That said, I'd consider Disgaea 1 to be the stronger game of these two.

If you've never tried Chrono Trigger, then definitely play Chrono Trigger. Otherwise, Octopath

Yeah I always thought turn based jrpgs were lame until I recently played SMT DeSu2 and EO2U.
Now I want to play more.

Octopath. It's a love letter to people who loved classic SquareSoft JRPG's

I feel like these games might be too different

It's apples and oranges

Octopath has a really strategic combat system involving turn orders and weaknesses. It also has a pretty fun job system.

Disgaea's a game about breaking the rules of the game. If you play it straightforward, you're going to win, but you'll have a back time. You need to find mechanics to abuse. The game wants to you metagame.

They both have meh stories. Octopath has sweet music though. Both are good in bite-sized play sessions.

Disgaea requires zero breaking just to beat the main story, it's post game where you pretty much need to be breaking it as hard as you can, lest you be shit one hard.

This is why we shouldn't have let sonyfags back in. Hell this is a fucking multiplat and he still can't stop going on about Nintendo.

>I genuinely dont understand/ v/'s disdain for it

Combat is good but calling the stories "generic" is an understatement, if you go on Fiverr and ask for a basic bitch JRPG generic story it will still be 3x better then what they presented.
Also the whole concept of 8 travellers is straight up a lie because there is no interaction between the characters inside the stories, only a comment or whatever afterwards.

I mean the plot is simple and inoffensive. It's also probably the least important thing about the game

I dont know, maybe I'm biased because my favorite JRPG of all time is Dragon Quest III which has very little plot and generic player created characters that have 0 dialog

All I want in my jrpgs is old fashioned combat and exploration with a sweet soundtrack. And Octopath offers those

I you don't mind terrible writing, octopath by far. Else, dont play both.

>Also the whole concept of 8 travellers is straight up a lie
Are you retarded or something?
Interaction doesn't play a part in that at all.

take your meds

>because there is no interaction between the characters inside the stories
Yeah? What does that have to do with the theme of eight travelers?
From the start it was eight separate travelers with eight stories to tell. No one said they were a party of eight.

SaGa series, my man.
This is why I always say I'm Nintendo and not Sony fan, even though I have more (and played more) PS consoles. Because I am embarrassed if people put me in the same group with retard like you who only play one system their parents bough them, and that often happens to be PS so daddy can play FIFA in his free time.

Tell me about it, Zig Forums was a lot more peaceful before they came back.

You're not wrong, but I would argue that playing Disgaea as a straight SRPG is like playing Mario without running. If you're just going to play it normally and stop at the end of the story, you might as well play something else.

Give me an example of what you guys mean by "breaking the game systems" in disgaea

Have you played SMT or Persona?

>frens
Consider getting a late-term abortion

One of the selling points is reaching level 9999. Not that hard to figure out.

yeah I'm playing SMT SJR

Octopath is awful. The gimmick works against enjoyment of the game at every turn and the combat weakness system is limiting rather than freeing. The "correct" move is always obvious.

Disgaea is vastly superior

They're completely different games, now. If you want your money worth over time, go with Disgaea.
I like Octopath but its clearly made by and for classic RPG enthusiasts

You're going to get a lot of weird shitty recommendations

The real classics of the genre are:
-FF6
-Chrono Trigger
-Grandia 2
-Wild Arms 3
-SMT3: Nocturne
-Dragon Quest VII
-Skies of Arcadia (GCN)
-Evolution Worlds (GCN)

If you want a touch of VN/dating sim try Persona 4. If you want mobile games try Bravely Default. If you want MOE MOE COOM try the Neptunia RPGs

I'd argue to core gameplay and story is fun enough to justify just playing through the story at minimum, at least for Disgaea 1.
