Shrimpy -Limited Edition- Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I tought SRPG (except for Valkyria Chronicles) was a slow boring genre, especially since i used to be a RTS player, until i played the SRPG chapter in Evoland 2 and had tons of fun with it. Now i have thrown hundred of hours into the genre and keep searching for games to play xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you're not too far off on that one. I mean, a pervy sage? A guy who can turn himself into a naked girl / guy (or several naked girls / guys) to distract people (not to mention it works on seemingly only the strongest people, hilariously enough)? The red flags are certainly there, if you ask me. Some misconceptions I had: I thought Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millenium Girl was a bog standard JRPG where you have to rescue a princess or something, judging by the cover art. I had no idea what EO was back then, but I was still kind of interested in the game based on it's title, so I bought it and... boy, was I wrong. Was I oh so very wrong. I honestly thought Trails of Cold Steel was a dating sim. (don't shoot me, please) Same for Persona. (don't burn me at the stake, please) I fully expected Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars to be a pure dating sim jam-packed with fanservice for the sake of it. It's actually a great game with interesting, Mystery Dungeon meets Etrian Odyssey gameplay and a very compelling story. (The fanservice part is still mostly true, for better or worse) When my friend first told me about Fire Emblem Path of Radiance, I thought it was a generic medieval war simulator. Then I played it. And here I am. This is also related to anime, but when I first heard that the Fate series is actually based on games, I thought it was a series of action RPGs. I didn't think Stella Glow would turn out to be a turn-based strategy game like Fire Emblem. I thought it would be more akin to a turn-based Tales game. Not a misconception per se, but I had no idea that Bravely Default is actually a spiritual successor to older Final Fantasy games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dungeon Travelers 2 is one of the best Dungeon RPG I've played through, despite being 99% Fan Service (the rest is a moving and epic friendship tale between a bear and a penguin.), so that doesn't means that much honnestly. Honnestly, I thought it would be a pretty mediocre, but fun Dungeon RPG games, like tere are so much on the console (and Demon Gaze kinda disappointed me before), but the dungeon sections are really well-made, the battle system fun, the fan service can be aggravating, but there are legitimately funny scenes. And mainly, that game is really generous. Post-Game as massive as the Main Game. OTons of side events depending of the characters you use. Turn-Based Tales ? You mean Like Tales of teh World : Summoner's Lineage (standard Tactical RPG) ; or like in Tales of the World Narikiri Dungeon 3 (pseudo tactical grid with tales of regular battles) ?

By turn-based Tales I meant a Tales-like world (giant, mostly open and an anime asthetic) but with turn-based combat. Kind of like what Trails of Cold Steel is, actually. I honestly had no idea the two games you mentioned exist until now. I also have Dungeon Travelers 2 on my Vita. The fanservice does get a bit... eehh... but otherwise, it seems like a fun game. I need to get back to that one, actually... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingle Jangle Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I thought that Fire Emblem was a incestuous eugenics simulator, where the fanbase obsesses over stats and pairings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
