Delita 698 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Nah Square games of late always been on the easy side which is why I hate they never have a hard mode. XV was a cakewalk and kingdom hearts 3 was a joke. I had to use an accessory that stops me from leveling up less than halfway through the game because there was no challenge at all Link to post Share on other sites

FF7R does according to the trophies list. I guess Im going straight to hard difficulty.

Twinblade★ 4,074 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 JRPGs are about the story and overall adventure. I don't know why yall want them to be dark souls. Link to post Share on other sites

Hard is never available from the start which is stupid. Unless it’s an action game, I don’t replay games on a harder difficulty Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah me too, I make some exceptions here and there but usually its the DMC or Bayonetta type game I find worth replaying on higher difficulty levels. Link to post Share on other sites

Meh I disagree. Most jrpg stories are crap. I play them for their gameplay. Lots of jrpgs have incredible gameplay. If you only play Tales or Dragon quest i can see why someone would not have much expectations for the gameplay of jrpgs Link to post Share on other sites

Gameplay is also important, I dont want all of them to be Dark Souls but I dont want them to be so easy that I dont even have to pay attention and still come on top. KH3 and FFXV were a lot less enjoyable to me due to the fact the combat encounters were borderline inconsequential. I could have done those games with my eyes closed. Its fucking boring and tedious. Its not the most important thing but Id rather have a fair bit of challenge than none at all. I Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah because not only is the increased challenge more fun, they’re also very different on harder difficulties. Enemies and bosses have different attacks, smarter ai. Feels like playing a new game 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You rarely have a fully upgraded Dante or Bayo at the end of your first playthrough, so you still feel as you're progressing. Plus different enemies placements, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 4,074 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I hate getting stuck on a hard boss and replaying it multiple times when I just want to see the next story beat, set piece, environment, etc. Maybe im not as 'hardcore' as you guys are but as I get older I realize I have less patience for difficult games. Though even as a kid I remember getting pretty annoyed with some of the earlier FF games. Link to post Share on other sites

What I like and imo saves Dragon quest is it’s more difficult than your average jrpg. kingdom hearts 3 though was a train wreck. I literally stopped using those finishers because of how long they were and how many times I would see them over and over in combat. I can’t remember a gane where I had to limit myself and my abilities just to get some form of challenge 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Though even as a kid I remember getting pretty annoyed with some of the earlier FF games. We clearly play games for different reasons. It’s not really about being hardcore, I just like to be challenged and that’s where I derive my enjoyment. If not I’d rather just be watching a movie. But then i also grew up playing arcade style nes games where they’re only an hour long, but they’re intentionally made difficult to get your moneys worth Link to post Share on other sites

The answer to the problem was never play better or use a different strategy, it was always "Oh, I guess I'm underleveled so time to grind for a bit". This was especially true in the older games where you would have to grind for an hour before you started the next dungeon. Link to post Share on other sites

My IQ is probably just too high for these games tbh Chapter 12 truly is amazing. Anyone who thinks this isn't a better retelling of the story so far up to that point is high AF on nostalgia.
