Hey guys, I just had an idea to counteract the bad ideas in this thread.

What if, in an RPG, every one of your spells worked on the bosses, but it changed their attack pattern?

For example, if you Poison them, they lose HP naturally and speed as well, but in return they get a devastating poisonous vomit that hurts the entire party. Or you use Stop and the enemy is frozen in place for 3 turns, but his sprite/character model vibrates. However, when the 3 turns is up, he stops vibrating and releases a devastating one-hit KO, like he was storing power for 3 turns.

What do you think of that?

Hahahaha, dekunda

>>100972722
Fucking Lakebed Temple, man. I spent hours swimming around trying to find the last key I needed.
Turns out the door was actually the boss door, and I already had the boss key I needed for it. The design on the lock was virtually indistinguishable from a regular door.

Oh, Romancing Saga. You are so unforgiving...

>Half an hour of unskippable cutscenes and dialogue before the game even lets you start playing it.

Fuck you Valkyrie Profile, I love you to bits but your prologue is just so bad.

Scott Pilgrim is a good game but this kinda grind my gears.

Persona 3...

Lots of jRPGs and some Sonic games.

Learn your mythology son. I take it that was your first intro to SMT?

real killer is never caught because the game skips ahead 3 fucking months as though there was never another opportunity to examine the facts and now I have to start over because I thought I had actually beaten the game so I saved over my file

>You start with next to nothing with no way to unlock the cool shit except for doing missions you don't care about
>No cheats or secret ways to get it early on
>By the time you get all the stuff in the trailer, you don't care anymore

Any game that has the "Hey! If you finish story mode you get something cool for your hard work...." attitude is doing it wrong. The game should be fun from start to finish and not involve you doing something boring, frustrating or monotonous in order to unlock the fun. It's like getting Devil May Cry and taking away sword attacks until you kill 50 enemies with gun fire alone.

>>100976200
>not expecting multiple endings in a jrpg

>>100976005
That's another thing, having to play another game or you can't enjoy this one.

>>100976332
I have an original around the house somewhere but it's pretty much lost

>sound goes off that lets you know you hit something
>you didn't hit shit

>>100976334
>Play game demo
>Game released, but it has a different control scheme and no option to use the one from the demo

>>100976338
Multiple endings don't bother me, a multiple choice test disguised as dialogue bothers me.

Although I a bit bothered that all the endings have such rigid tiers of horrid, bad, neutral, good, and true. It feels like the writer wanted to make me feel bad because I didn't think like he did about how to react to a certain situation.

>>100976355
Hey, P3 was my intro to SMT and I did just fine. All I'm saying is that it's not really trial and error.

>meet the entire party in the beginning of RPG
>can't use them for half the game

Every thread like this is always always ALWAYS full of JRPG complaints. Why the fuck do you guys play them? Really. If you like the story, I'm sure you could just watch the cutscenes on Youtube and learn everything you need to know from there. And I used to love my share of them.

>>100976689
Ever stop to think that the ones complaining are the ones who stopped playing?

>>100976689
>Why the fuck do you guys play them?

Other redeeming qualities? Seriously, how hard was that?

>>100976689
It would be hard to pick just one bad thing about other games. At least with JRPGs there's usually only one thing in a given game to gripe about.

>Long as fuck level
>Screw up once, start over at the beginning of the level

>Main character walks slower then NPC

>>100976689
Because you only complain about bad aspects of something you enjoy because you wish it were better, closer to perfection. I could point out the flaws in shooters or fighting games, but I don't care as much for them so they don't bother me as much.

>>100976689
Because we were asked to discuss things we dislike, and JRPGs are popular

>>100978512
> Video games are supposed to tell stories

No. No they aren't. Sure, they *can* tell stories... and sometimes it works well. But there's no requirement, and games are frequently shit tons of fun without any narrative.

>>100978700
I loved the part where I got to press buttons!
