The thing is you have to ease into SPRGS >Hated FFT when I played it initially Lack of towns and only having battles put me off in my preteen years, I only got to chapter one and dropped it for Lunar. >Play Arc the Lad Collection >Play FFTA >Return to Tactics and I love it >Get hooked on SRPGS and play the NIS series and Growlanser series as the years pass.
>>3991143 I too do not like them. I feel like the tactical elements get in the way of the RPG elements and vice versa. I know that positioning is a good way to add depth at a certain point it just becomes everything.
>>3991143 That's okay. The most important thing in RPGs is choices and consequences. You do not like them, that is okay. Therefore, you are gay. That is the consequence.
>>3991262 That gave me an idea: two opposed factions, both gay, but disagree on caring about tactical RPGs. With high enough speech skill, low disarray score, and leaving a certain NPC alive, you can convince them that being gay is more important than preferences on video games.
>>3991146 Whats a good SRPG? I only ever played FE and i liked it but i dont like how leveling works in those games They kinda force you to use your best units since only units who participate in battle get exp and so you just snowball and only use the units that are already good while the mediocore ones stay behind and age badly I also dont like how permadeath can ruin your entire playthrough if you lose a good unit since you usually get only 1 tank or 1 or 2 cavalier units and if those guys die then youre entire team is basically fucked It encourages you to cheese the game and play it as safe as possible without trying any risky plays
>>3991143 They are too slow and prone to snowballing. Most of the time there's a clear point where you can't lose but are expected to waste time cleaning up
>>3991504 >I played the demo for Kemco's Cross Tails and was not impressed. I mean you should've always expected mediocrity from Kemco.. Together with the devs of Mercenaries Saga they are two cheeks of the same arse.
>>3991497 I like permadeath, I want semi-realistic mechanics in my RPGs >It encourages you to cheese the game and play it as safe as possible without trying any risky plays Hey it's basically simulated warfare, every leader tries to minimize casualties. That's why FE is rather grounded compared to other JRPGs
>>3991585 Permadeath is great until it isn't in FE. In the games designed for Permadeath it's really fun and a great way to play if you keep yourself honest. In later ones like 3 houses it's not built around the mechanic so it just feels like it's there to be there.
>>3991497 You are supposed to have units die in Fire Emblem. This is why crits do high damage, some games have gaiden chapters based on units lost, etc.
cont.>>3991596 Sorry I think I misread the post. But I don't think permadeath ever fails in FE. I do think they should make dead characters play more part in the story though.
>>3991598 In Reclass Emblem it's entirely pointless. Everyone can do everything so a permanent death is easily made up for, and in 3H specifically you just don't get units in the 2nd half of the game so if you lose one you're just done. The older ones were built around expecting you to lose units and getting makeup ones later. Maybe they're not quite as good, but they're usually comparable.
>>3991642 Permadeath isn't exactly a system to punish anything, it's just for realism. So I don't agree that because "people can just do this instead to bypass the system" it doesn't work as a mechanic.
>>3991497 > Whats a good SRPG? Like I said >Arc the Lad Collection PLAY WITH A GUIDE. It's from that era they were trying to sell them. You will miss out on secret quests, one time items
One is a prologue to two, it starts off a little slow; but it picks up.
>FFTA It's much easier than Tactics, but it will get you into it
>FFT Watch HCBailly's let's play, he really breaks everything down and makes it much more accessible
>NIS series play in order >rhapsody >la pucelle play the psp version or PC >disgaea pc or psp >phantom brave pc or wii >Makai kingdom psp >disgaea 2 \pc or psp >prinny can I be the hero? >soul nomad >disgaea 3 Vita version or PC >prinny can I be the hero? 2 >Zettai hero project >disgaea 4 >disgaea D2 >disgaea 5
Quality of life makes it hard to return to other games after the fact. Also story.
>I only ever played FE Daq are you doing playing Fire Emblem first?! That's pro-shit, put that down. Of course you aren't going to like SRPGS playing that first.
>>3996014 (you) Imagine telling an electrical engineer from the 80s that an operating system would occupy four billion, eight billion, twelve billion bytes of memory while idling at the desktop doing literally nothing
>>3991143 I just dropped Tactics Ogre because while I wanted to like it, the battles felt too basic and the pacing was really slow, especially since I was trying to keep all my characters leveled and properly equipped.
