Guide 02/09/22 9:31:57 PM #9:	Zikten posted... It's for people who like strategy Ehhh, most JRPGs I've played boil down to spamming the aoe move.

Lunar_Savage 02/09/22 9:32:17 PM #10:	Zikten posted... It's for people who like strategy This. It's like fancy chess. With a fucking awesome story (most of the time) to keep you going. The best JRPGs find a way to include some engaging puzzles and even platforming gameplay between battles. Also, towns, exploration, etc. --- Number of Mega Cookies given: (::::) 34 Tips top hat, adjusts monocle, and walks away with a cane.

NoxObscuras 02/09/22 9:56:54 PM #11:	Because as your options expand, so do your strategies. Do you use a basic attack to save mp/sp? Defend? Buff? Debuff? Special attack? Magic? Then you have to account for enemy strengths and weaknesses and what order everyone attacks in. There's a lot more involved than just "pushing the same button over and over again" --- PSN - NoxObscuras Z490 \| i9-10900K \| EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra \| 32GB DDR4 3600 \| 4TB SSD <cite>NoxObscuras posted [p:962516202] in Still can'...
