All right so we got a jrpg but looks like a western game.
When are we gettinc a wrpg but looks like a japanese anime game?
I like the idea of western rpgs but they tend to look dull, characters ugly and the love interests unappealing.
And when japs do one like DD it looks like a generic wrpg.

I'd kill for an anime-style Star Wars game, KOTOR in particular

There are, you just didn't play them because they're old. But japs prefer dungeon crawlers, so even some that branch out are effectively just dungeon crawlers. Or they're lumped up as JRPGs.

If you're into D&D or tabletop games Crimson Shroud is worth emulating

>>3818983
I remember getting softlock on some early dice roll when emulating, was it ever fixed?

>>3818922 (OP)
This game is kinda overrated.
Story isn't really well written, characters are very underdeveloped, combat is basically parryslop and late game its a borefest and spamfest, exploration is boring.
the fans are nutjobs

>>3819139
Maybe try different emulator. If you used Citra, try Azahar.

>>3819150
>Story isn't really well written

especially the big twist in Act 3, kinda makes acts 1 and 2 pointless

>>3819457
The first two acts exist to make the story a moral dilemma in the first place. Anyone who thinks they're "pointless" clearly got filtered by the game, so their opinion shouldn't be taken seriously

>>3819520
Except there is no real dilemma when you're framing it as being fake. Just in in every other game and story that did this exact same "twist".
You need to frame boing as being equally real and equally emotionally relevant to player. Which isn't the case at all in E33.
It was poorly executed, just like a lot of other things in the game.

>>3819520
>filtered

the classic "I have no argument" line

>>3819542
It's not "fake" precisely because you go through the first two Acts to learn about all the other characters thoughts, feelings, dreams, struggles, and even the emotional weight of losing each other.

>>3819550
and then Act 3 pulls a Star Ocean 3/Danganronpa V3

>>3819558
And that's bad because.....?

>>3819719
makes the rest of the game (or in those cases THE ENTIRE SERIES, past and future) pointless

>>3819720
No it doesn't.

>>3819986
Yes it does, because it undermines what happens and the characters in it. This is far more likely to happen to people that like to focus more on characters over the story or something being conceptually interesting (which this isn't either btw, it's so overdone).

If you think that when people played Star Ocean 3 and got towards the end and they read that everything in the game was just a simulation and none of the characters aren't real and most people would go "fuck yeah, that's awesome" you're not very bright.
Not only that, it's not even interesting or clever. It's just a legit stupid writer thinking it was some epic twist.

>It's just a legit stupid writer thinking it was some epic twist.

it's like a "this was all a dream" levels of bad writing

>>3820013
The first two acts literally show you that those characters ARE real. Honestly like the other anon said, you just got filtered.

>>3820163
and then act 3 was like "lol, nope"

>>3820169
missed the point award

>>3820163
No, they weren't real. THAT is the point. It's just the writer not even understanding what they're doing themselves while trying to go
>no dude, your experiences with these imaginary people was all real so that makes them real!
It's like you don't even comprehend the simple thing of if A is what's actually real, then B isn't real.

The entire point of this original trope is NOT that the dream/fake world and people were also "real", but that they weren't and it allows you to taken lessons from said dream or as some parallell to the real world, like the evil pig man the girl dreamed about wasn't real but her mind reframing her father into said evil pig man.

And this is also such a massively overdone trope that they STILL fucked up is actually impressive. Almost as impressive as there being people thinking it was actually clever and well-told. Then again, people rave about the dumbest shows and movies anyway, so it isn't really surprising.

>>3820209
and watch as that guy you are arguing with goes "filtered" since people who use that word love using it more than once when they can't come up with any counter arguments.
