JRPG thread. ARPGchads, SRPGbros, DRPGallies, and whatever else is out there welcome. Westerncucks not allowed and will be shot on sight.
What are you guys playing lately? Anything you're looking forward too? For me, starting playing Yakuza 7 for the first time. Really great game, unironically feels like an Earthbound for boomers. FFXVI looks really good. Glad they are seeming to fix the mess they made after the previous FF.
I know this thread will be deleted by the mods solely for that OP, but i'll respond to it either way >What are you guys playing lately? Been replaying TWEWY, and started playing DQXI and Atelier Ryza >Anything you're looking forward too? Granblue Fantasy Relive looks like fun. Although read an user said they're going to gacha it. If so, that'd suck. Neo TWEWY and FFXVI of course. If I'm enjoying Ryza 1, I'd probably be looking forward to 2 as well.

Relive has gacha? Is that the update to existing gacha or the ARPG?

Typically when someone says "JRPG" the formula is compared to DQ or old FF for gameplay. Heavy focus on over the top stories, grand adventure over an entire large map where you gather party members to fight some sort of big bad, focus on leveling up and equipment though the side systems tend to be on the less complex side so debuffs and DoT stuff isn't focused on as much. Lots of things are typically fantastical or out of this world. Tales of games also became a main basis for other games as well and would be considered as a lead-in series to consider a JRPG because it follow the vast majority of the same cliches and tropes but in an action setting.
Yes, I know you're probably joking because Pokken, Witcher 3, Shantae, and DDR on top of several other joke choices are on the JRPG side.

Yakuza is rpg? I thought it's something like GTA or Shenmue.
Dunno. An user said it's going gacha. Whatever the hell he meant. I'm not sure if he's shitposting or not. Just saying if it goes the Genshin route, I'll be a bit pissed.

What do they play then?

Played Ni No Kuni recently and enjoyed that. Playing through Ni No Kuni 2 right now and story feels a bit lackluster compared to the first. Next on the chopping block are Shadow of the Colossus, P5R, Nier and Tales of Berseria
I'm gonna try and beat .hack//GU: Last Recode before I head down to the family's for christmas. I got a week. Is the game like, 80 hours or what? Also is it even good? Was kinda enamored with the idea but the fact that everyone acts as if they're in real life is kind of turning me off.
