Up to Chapter 5 on Hard Mode now for FFVII Remake. Never gonna finish it on this difficult knowing what’s to come but I’m enjoying it so far.

 

wondering if I should jump into some other jrpg from this gen on the PS4 that I might’ve missed. Any suggestions? No way I’m doing P5 Royal having finished P5. 

Did you play Judgment or FFXV? Those are the 2 main ones that came to mind.

Yeah, it's a huge investment. I'd get the Switch version of that one though.

 

Also, I'd recommend A.I. The Somnium Files if you haven't checked it out. It's from the Daganronpa guys.

soooo good!

Just started DQ 11. Loving the art style. Game seems pretty easy so far. Does the difficulty ramp up later in the game? I think I'll go with greatsword rather than sword and shield.

Playing the Japanese version of Contra Hard Corps in the Contra Collection. The game is insane. It's the most fun I have had playing a 16 bit game I never played before in years.

I didn’t find it got any harder. The music keeps sucking too. 
 

I stopped like 25 hours in.

Took me 115 hours to plat DQXI and get the real ending. The lesser ending takes like 70 hours though, you could stop there if time is an issue, the post game is kinda filler for hardcore fans. I loved the real boss fight though.

 

Ni no Kuni 2 is a big flop. It's not the most terrible game or anything but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The city building aspect is boring, the combat is way too easy, and the game is redundant. Even if the visuals are super nice, the music is good and the story is decent, it's still not worth going through its boring gameplay, imo.

115 hours. FMD. Will prob pass on that. 

But yeah I've heard similar things about Ni no Kuni 2. Shame.

if you like the Yakuza games then Judgment is very much worth playing.

It’s a fantastic story with some great humor and a really great cast of characters. It’s lengthy too. Took me 20+ hours to get every ending and for the credits to roll. It’s weird at first but once it gets going, you won’t want to put it down until you see the end. Probably my favorite in the genre since the Phoenix Wright trilogy.

Danganronpa is one of my fav games of all time so I have no doubt that I will like this.

The first few hours might be tough to get through, but stick with it. I remember being completely turned off by practically everything about it despite loving Danganronpa and was ready to drop it altogether.

Thanks for the heads up.

I played it with Japanese audio and English subtitles. The English actors were kind of bad. 

[madmaltese★ 2,550]

btw, this is on Switch right?

Along with PS4 and PC. I will say load times are noticeable on Switch. It doesn’t really matter much for gameplay though and the portability is nice for this kind of game.

Yeah don't mind load times and I love this genre in a handheld space so will go with that.

it ends being truly extraordinary by the end.

So it took me 80 hours to get the OG good ending in p5. I’m now onto the added stuff. They changed a major arc

Started Ace Combat 7 since it was on GP and a lot of ppl here rave about it. Decent so far.
