How do we save JRPGs? They're a dying genre, everyone just plays gachas instead.

Doesn't need saving

Stop turning JRPGs into slop action games nobody wants to play, it's just that easy.

Gachas are the natural evolution of JRPGs. They embody everything the JRPG represents taken to their extremes: the combat, the grind, the characters, the story, everything that makes a JRPG a JRPG.

>>716093560 (OP)
Can't. The industry is on an unavoidable path toward esports, major Nintendo IPs, Fortnite, and gachas being the only games left.

jrpgs are too boring in today's environment. they were only fun in the 80s and 90s when there was nothing to do, comparatively.

>>716093560 (OP)
JRPGs are the one genre that don't need saving.
Gachafags would not play JRPGs if there were no gacha. For example, gachafags that have not played any Persona games love the Persona Gacha. They don't care for Persona games themselves.

JRPGs are destined to be a lower profiting genre because it prioritizes being an actually good game over intriguing the lowest common denominator. It doesn't need to be popular to be good. All the best JRPGs are lesser known titles. That's fine by me.

Someone tell me what classic JRPG to play next please
>Suikoden
>DQ 4/5
>Star Ocean
>Earthbound

>4chan just fucking ate my post
Very cool retards

>>716093560 (OP)
Can you imagine if JRPGs blew up the way shooters and fighting games did? The genre would be absolutely unforgivable dogshit. There would be no more good JRPGs.

>>716094205
Grandia. Memebound isn't worth downloading much less playing, btw.

>>716094204
Personafags haven't played the Persona games either. That's probably the worst example you could have picked.

>>716093560 (OP)
>doesnt miss
sorely disappointed

>>716093560 (OP)
it all returns to nothing

>>716094560
What are you talking about?

What's the appeal of mashing your way through 1,000 battles and then defeating the big bad guy with your childhood friends for the 60th time?

>>716094205
>Star Ocean
Play 2 though, 1 is meh

>>716093560 (OP)
Give me money in advance to make mine

>>716094728
I've actually started 1 before but couldn't get too far in it cause the combat was really boring.

>>716094673
Because it's still as enjoyable as it was 59 times ago.

>>716094795
SO2 is way overrated. SO3, 4 and 6 are much better games with significantly better gameplay. 2fags are drunk on nostalgia.

>>716093560 (OP)
This webm is incomplete without Meruru celebrating with a :P face afterwards

>>716094739
Start a Patreon account? Do developer private Kick streams as a bonus to keep accountability and build interest and build a community and if there's people donating and joining with skills just hire them to assist? Start with a solid art direction since that's what sells majority JRPGs other than their gameplay elements as long as its not RPGmaker sloppa you can start with rough sketches or ideas. Get to it faggot.I don't have enough talent to serve such a noble cause.

>>716093957
Yeah but I'm a scrooge who hates gambling real money away. I barely wanna pay full price for a game, so why would I waste $400 on a limited jpeg?

>>716094205
Out of those Dragon Quest 4 and 5 are the best.
Earthboynd is an awful jrpg, star ocean doesn't get good until 2, and suikoden is overrated.

>>716094552
>>716095292
What makes it awful? I tried the first Mother and it had awful encounter rates but always heard good things about the 2nd. Is this just general anti-tendie sentiment?

>>716095275
Then don't. Grind dailies and events forever and waste months of ingame resources on a different limited jpeg.

>>716095392
its just a dq clone with good execution and a novel setting

>>716095392
Awful inventory and UI, boring characters and story, every character starts at lvl 1 so there is an extreme amount of grind, and middling combat. People only praise Earthbound for its aesthetics, in every other aspect it will put you to sleep.

>>716093560 (OP)
they need more hags

I want to get into Dragon Quest, should I start in order? If so, should I get the remakes on Steam?
Thanks in advance.

>>716097286
Dragon quest remakes are being released in chronological order so start with 3.

>Genre is doing very well right now needs saving
Huh?
People are playing gacha games because they endlessly drip-feed content to the player base and trick them into grinding materials to power up new units. A good JRPG can't beat that monetarily speaking; all it can do is be a good game.

>>716095763
you can very easily beat the game without grinding (and why would starting at level 1 imply you need to grind???)

>>716093560 (OP)
I want to know who made the special attack animations in the Arland games because the attack animations in Atelier have become boring as fuck since then.

>>716093560 (OP)
A "J"RPG has a very high chance of being GOTY, what the fuck are you talking about?

I like Tales of

>>716093560 (OP)
They have to stop treating the genre as a low budget slop-machine and increase the quality. As much as I dislike chink gachas, they are absolutely shitting on Japan in terms of quality right now.

>>716093560 (OP)
dying?

>>716093957
And you forgot most of all, The RNG.

>>716093957
The exploration? The customisation? The progression? The freedom? The ending?

>>716099873
Same, it's a really good series.

>>716093560 (OP)
Increase the production values. Like 9/10 JRPGs that come out nowadays look like PS2 games.
