Measuring games by hours has become an increasing less useful metric to me because I already have my grinding games that I can endlessly replay. When buying new games, I'd rather get something I'll really enjoy for a short playthrough than a long epic JRPG I can't bring myself to actually set aside time for - even though I do really love JRPGs.
Check out Expedition 33. It feels like a love letter to jrpg but without the time commitment.
I agree, this game is a piece of art, really well made.
I watched the trailer and whats on steam about it, but it didn't take me in, and im curently looking for an rpg to play.
Is it really completely turn based and not that action turn based abdomination jrpgs have implemented the past years? I noticed some kind of quick time events during fights, is that optional or always active?
It is turn based, something I wish FF would return to. There are quick time events for every action, it's not absolutely necessary to do on certain difficulty, but really helps. There is a dodge and parry mechanic that you really should use to help survive.
If you are a fan of turn based rpg, you should check it out.
Quick times events and dodge and parry Events are the absolute opposite of what im looking for in a turn based rpg. I want it to be calm and where I can put down the controls at any time.
Sounds more like an action rpg with turn based elements to me. Exactly how it looked in the trailer.
Thanks though.
Sounds like how Super Mario RPG did it which was overall pretty excellent.
I haven't played the game but if that's true I'd still consider that well and truly turn based.
That's the best comparison I can think of.
It's absolutely turn based. You're trying to stretch it to something it's not. Yes, it has QTEs. That doesn't make it an action RPG. Nothing happens by surprise. You can put your controller down and nothing will happen. Also, as the other person says, you can ignore them if you want; just set the difficulty lower.
Most of the game is just walking around exploring though, and you only enter fights when you walk into an enemy. You always know what's going to happen when. There's almost no surprises.
Why are you getting so defensive/agressive?
I was looking at it and didn't enjoy what I see. The other commenter replied and confirmed my worries, and I said it isnt for me then.
I like my turn based rpgs without action events and some defensive moves I have to time right.
Good for you that you enjoy it that way, it's too much action for my taste in turn based games.
I just hate the idea of dismissing games because of a narrow glance at it (especially if it matches so much of what you say you want). I don't usually like turn based RPGs, but the game seems interesting and like it's made by people with passion, so I gave it a try and it's great. This is the type of game we should be applauding, not generic games that follow formulas. Pirate it and try it before deciding you don't like it because of a relatively minor feature. You can't make a good decision with such little information. As the saying goes, don't just a book by its cover.
You sound like a used-cars salesman. Sorry, I'm still not interested.
I feel like play time per money spent mattered when most people were buying offline games at full price but to me it hasn’t been relevant for a long time. I might pay full price for a game that is incredible for 5-10 hours but a game that is mediocre for 100 hours I wouldn’t even play for free.
I fully agree with that. There are some games that are fully worth the price, even if the hours/$ isn’t quite there, but in most cases it’s not anymore
