Also then is the implication he revived Joshua with full ass Phoenix down? And he went on to write that? Also we saw the hand turn to stone but nothing else, so that’s easy room for sequel and/or DLC if they wanna, I didn’t see no body
Genuinely can’t believe we didn’t go to the moon/that red star or fly the hideaway, but I guess what we got was appropriately nuts so that’s fine

I’m not ready to go through it again on FF difficulty yet.
But I like JRPGs(thus why I'm here) so I'm still loving it.
My late game build of 5 ults and one standard attack is fun as hell.
I was playing OTCotC because I'm a gacha addict but that made me want to play OT2 again and that's what led to this. It's so damn good.
Now that Team Ninja is somehow the best FF developer, Asano and Kawazu are my only hope for internally developed SE games.
Man, what if those two made something together. That could be amazing.
I am aware that this is a very silly thing to consider a make-or-break point of contention, but: how much Ye Olde Timey Englishe is there?
Why I'm considering getting the remake if they change that one thing.
The Crystal into the Lighthouse is an impressively bad pair of dungeons. Lighthouse does have the unintentionally hilarious Bahamut reveal at the end of it. Probably not funny enough to force yourself through it all
I don't recall there being any; the beast-people speak in simplified English and one of your characters is doing a pretty strong cowboy accent, but no H'aanit this go around.
That said, my personal take is cooler on Octopath 2. It's good, but the stories are still wildly varied in quality and the pacing is still rough with absurd random encounter rates. The combat gameplay is mildly improved (because it was already pretty good), and the town interaction with folks is significantly improved but it's still super clunky to have party members sit around getting no EXP and to lock your MC for the entire game, and the limits on how many people can have what job and equipment management is as tedious as I've ever seen in a jRPG. If you're looking for a classic turn based experience it's still pretty great, but it's not recommend-without-caveat-to-anybody great.
There's a demo out on Steam and I think some consoles if you want to check out the feel of the game and the combat system.
I more or less agree here. Quite a bit of hicksy drawl, but no Ren Faire speak. I don't feel like any of the mechanics that were unique to it improved the game. The open world stuff had the one sort of sweet spot, but then you were dramatically overpowered for the rest, and it was hard to avoid becoming that way because the encounter rate was so ridiculous even with the fewer encounters passive stapled to the head of my main character. Which also lead to kind of having to spec your party out to be glass cannons just to sweep encounters quickly, and I was never forced to change that setup since most bosses would fall to it too, and the issue got worse later in the game as you were able to spam certain resource costly skills more freely. There was also a big problem with progression just kind of stopping around... I don't know, level 25ish? You could keep accumulating more passives or swap around classes if you felt like it, but there wasn't any actual reason to it except to force yourself to mix things up. Every class also had like one or two broken skills and four filler ones that you would literally never touch. I also HAAAATED the path action stuff by the end too, especially as every single fucking cutscene had to stop in the middle and go "please press Y to continue this cutscene," but I also hate going around and talking to ChatGPT-written NPCs, which apparently is unusual for JRPG players these days.
I did manage to finish everybody's stories, and clear out all the 'normal' dungeons, so got over 40 hours out of it and don't feel angry thinking about it like I do NnK2, but at that point, it had been something like 20 hours since I had found anything that felt like it added any more depth, and had completely clowned on most of the bosses during that span, so I just lost interest in doing the last unifying few bosses. It really needed to not have so many gamebreaks and to make the dungeons both more interesting and less enemy spam. Making the path actions dungeon traversal or mini-puzzle stuff would have been amazing to me, but alas.
I'd force my way past it, but then I like the ending so maybe I'm the problem ha. I guess you could just youtube the rest of it.
I did like the actual endgame sequence though.
I think my main has to be the Earthen Heart Shifu. I really enjoyed the building up/learning aspect of that chapter so they feel like my most personalized character.
Akira is obnoxious but his Psi powers seem really good, so he's probably in.
Oboromaru also has a good variety of powers and some really strong ones, so I'll take him.
Definitely not taking the current day protag, he's boring and only level 2 anyways, and probably not Sundown Kid, also kind of boring.
Which makes my last either Pogo or Cube. I actually haven't done any combat with Cube yet, but I hear he's pretty capable. Pogo was fine. I wouldn't main him because I want someone who speaks a language, but he's probably a decent party member.
All told, though, follow your heart on which character you're least likely to ever want to remove. They've all got something to recommend them.
I went with the Earthen Heart Shifu myself and it went fine.

Well, more like finishing a playthrough that I stalled on late last year.
I was just before Pharos when I stopped playing. So not too much left, unless I decide to do all the hunts.
I generally like anime, but I can't fucking stand JRPGs.
I'm not even really sure why.
You’ve found yourself in the wrong thread there, fella!
This here’s a place for JRPG lovers.
Take your potion and GET OUT! Barrett will show you the door.
It's also on the Switch. So yeah that's an instant buy.
Also if they're rebalancing cause man did some characters(Noel) stink.
On the flip side of that I have a really hard time getting into most anime these days. And probably for the past 15 years.
But I fucking love me some anime ass JRPGs.
Opposite for me, there has been a marked overall dive in storytelling quality for anime which has caused me to not really watch it in many years, even though I was a pretty avid consumer of it for a good while. I can tolerate a good amount of JRPG bullshit though because it's a more interactive experience than anime, and games are designed to tell a contained story, compared to anime/manga which will do either one of two things - 1) Stall you forever, or 2) Butcher the manga to fit an anime into a one-off throwaway season. (Claymore you deserved better than this)
There are exceptions though, like Trails of Cold Steel which I absolutely cannot stand and Mimana Iyar Chronicle which is one of the worst JRPGs I've ever played. But I otherwise will put up with a lot of nonsense in a game for the sake of playing the game but I'm super critical when it comes to anime nowadays.
I'm really looking forward to it as I played the game into the ground in the PS1 days. My only issue though is the sprites - the backgrounds in the remake look gorgeous but all of the sprites are pixelated vomit marring the scenery, like hello couldn't you do some basic upscaling for the sprites at least?
I ignore most Isekai drivel and I only really watch shonen if its generally acclaimed but even then there is other great stuff.
And jRPGs is the same. I kind of ignore the run of the mill stuff unless its what I'm in the mood for(cause sometimes you do just want a cheeseburger).
Am I gonna overthink Capcom having a poll asking people what BoF they played first.
Hell yeah.
Ya know, two abandoned franchises, and... "I dunno, stuff?"
So much better than the Musou games though
I want to turn into a dragon and have a living onion as a playable character again!
I know it's extremely unlikely l, but imma keep hoping.
That's just Dark Souls with dragon covenant and onion bro
