RPGCast – Episode 518: “Cohesive Starting, Center, and Finish”

1. QotW: The one definitive model of Chrono Set off is the SNES model as a result of it eliminates the DS model’s ties to Chrono Cross.

2. I’ve grinded in each single dragon quest I’ve performed. I feel 11 has much less of it, however I nonetheless did.

3. Unpopular opinion- whereas I do get pleasure from kingdom hearts I feel quite a lot of squares dangerous habits and downward traits could be traced again to it.

4. The final query of the week requested for dangerous performances from in any other case good actors. Arc Rise Fantastia isn’t precisely identified for its good actors. 😛 If something, I may checklist two of one of the best actors in that recreation, out of a sea of horrible ones.

   Anyway, I’ve already shared a couple of Unpopular online game opinions, however I’ve received a ton!

   There is no such thing as a single “golden age of RPGs.” Each period of gaming has its share of wonderful video games.

5. Wow… What was happening with Chris this week? Between his excessive ADD and interrupting and speaking over everybody he may as a lot as he may, I used to be prepared to achieve my fingers the the web and strangle him. Is every thing okay in your life, Chris? You good? Was this some sort of cry for assist?

   QOTW: #REALLYUnpopularRPGOpinion Closing Fantasy X is an especially overrated recreation that has very attention-grabbing characters which might be all solely overshadowed by the story of two of the blandest characters ever written who’s solely romantic chemistry that brings them collectively is that they each have daddy points. … Fite me. Sorry, Not Sorry. (that’s what you’re suppose to say on the ends of these sorts of statements, proper?)

6. Because it has been introduced up on this podcast, Why does everybody hate Witch and the Hundred Knight. I performed and loved the Revival version on the PS4. The music was actually good, fight was repetitive however enjoyable switching between the totally different types and weapons to trigger huge harm. I assumed Metallia was truly a very good character. At the beginning of the sport she was harsh and merciless however as the sport progressed I assumed she turned extra compassionate and went from villian to hero. You additionally study extra about who she is and right here relationship with the forest witch. Everybody hated her for being the swamp witch so she in flip hated the world, however her character modified as she met the Visco. Granted the unique ending was a whole 180 what the hell, this is not sensible. However then When you full sure duties it opens up a complete story and ending and also you study much more concerning the world and characters, and study the true villian.

7. Hmmm, I additionally assume Chrono Set off is overrated. For me, it’s a very good however not nice recreation, within the 3.5 vary – fairly like Undertale. Nevertheless, I’m glad to listen to I’m not alone on this, so possibly this doesn’t depend sufficient as an unpopular opinion!

   How about this, then? The World Ends With You – certainly one of my all-time favorite video games – is best on cell than on DS. Come at me!

8. QOTW: All NES period RPGs are so primitive and player-unfriendly that even one of the best of them (Closing Fantasy, Dragon Warrior IV) are barely playable.

   I additionally maintain this unpopular opinion for SNES/Genesis period RPGs, though not fairly as fiercely. RPGs didn’t attain the purpose the place they’re ok to play solely on the deserves of the sport alone (versus gaining a historic/cultural context, appreciation for RPG speedruns, data to jot down a evaluation, competing towards different folks in a randomizer, and so on. along with no matter enjoyable the participant can extract) till the PSX/N64 period.

   (Bonus standard opinion: The N64 had one good RPG, and it was Paper Mario).

   Trendy remakes of historical RPGs (see: Sega Ages Phantasy Star) are much less topic to this unpopular opinion, since they’ve a ton of high quality of life enhancements to make the sport extra enjoyable.

9. I barely did and haven’t since 2004ish performed a PS1 recreation. Can’t do it. Graphics simply too horrible. I simply skipped that period.

   Chrono Set off is common.

   FFXII performs itself.

   NES & SNES period video games are too primitive.

10. QOTW: Persona 5’s fashionable visuals and mechanical polish can solely achieve this a lot to cover its extreme points w/r/t writing and pacing.

    Bestheda open-world RPGs(i.e. Fallout 3/4 and Skyrim) are a number of the most drab, boring video games I’ve ever performed. Couldn’t get greater than 10 hours into any of them.
