JackMan 07/10/18 8:37:10 AM #1:	I've been in the mood for a JRPG recently, but I'm having trouble finding one that looks like it'll hit the spot. I played Ni No Kuni 2 a couple of months ago and it was fine, but I wasn't digging the characters very much. I want a modern console or PC game, but old-school fantasy (not old school graphics though). Ideally something that hasn't gone overboard on the world building. Thinking Tales of Zestiria or maybe Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA, though I've never played a Ys game before, so I dunno how important that is? Dragon Quest XI looks good too, but I don't really want to wait until September to play something. Anything come out recently that I'm overlooking? --- Still the number one reason for the success of the Internet. Salutations, citizens!

xp1337 07/10/18 9:49:10 AM #21:	Anyway, with Zestiria - for me, at least - it's kind of like you have a series in Tales where I feel it can often put out titles in the 8 or even 9/10 range and then Zestiria comes along and is like a 6/10. In the grand scheme of things, that's not bad. Heck, it's above average! But in the context of the series it just feels... bad. (Xillia in this story is like... a 7/10) Also since we're talking Traditional/Action and stuff... if I put them on the scale it'd look something like... <--Old FF----Trails------------- \| -----Tales--Tokyo Xanadu---Nier Automata--Ys-----> Turn-based/Traditional....................................... ........................................Action-based. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? <cite>xp1337 posted [p:904814869] in I'm trying...

SantaRPidgey 07/10/18 10:16:14 AM #24:	I bought Zestria and it was the worst purchase I ever made (pending how bad SO4 is) Its somewhere between lunar dragon song and eternal sonata for just worst everything in a JRPG. I would recommend against playing it even if you got the game for free. Beseria however does everything right to such an extent its mind boggling. Characters are fun, story is good, gameplay and extra features are fun. Its probably one of the most well crafted jrpgs since the original xenoblade.

Still gonna check out Ys VIII's combat and see what that's about. Combat aside, how is the story and characters? Any good? They're likable enough. Ys as a whole tends to focus a lot more on action than its plot/characters, but VIII made a decent attempt at covering both. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing.
