So, looking for an RPG that is NOT TURN BASED, and action oriented in its combat. I want to grind and watch number go up, but want the combat to be more hands on than turn based.
Last time I asked, I settled on Xenoblade Chronicles. I got to almost level 40 in it, then I lost 6 hours of progress cause of a save snafu, and I dont feel like going back to it.
After that I switched to Tales of Symphonia at yalls recommendation. I like the combat, but DAMN is it hard, and there is no tutorial at all for any finer points.
What other games might scratch my itch? Ill be playing on a Retroid 5, so it’ll be emulated. That said, it can do a lot of switch games pretty well, so if its newer and on switch, I can try it!
For Clarity: Ps2 generation and earlier, OR on the switch. 3DS and Vita are cool too.
Dark Cloud (ps2) - split between action segments and city building segments. First game has a cool, creepy atmosphere, second game is more polished. By Level 5 if that intrigues you!
Kingdom Hearts 2 (ps2) - Yeah the story is dumb but it’s unintentionally funny. Combat is sooooo good.
Dissidia Final Fantasy (psp) (duodecium, not the first one) - It’s basically the cutscenes from Final Fantasy but you get to play them! Got a fun fanfiction level story too.
Parasite Eve (ps1) - Cool action horror game. Got a combat system I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone replicate before, except for the one coming out from the Valhalla devs soon.
All these should run perfect on the Retroid! Only other one I can think of is The World Ends With You Final Remix and its sequel on switch. The first is way better on ds in my opinion, but only if you have an actual ds.
Ive played a lot of those over the years, but did get 3rd Birthday, and Dark Cloud 2!
Enjoy!! FYI 3rd birthday is generally not as well regarded as the first two. But if you did know that then never mind! It’s really visually impressive for a psp game
Yeah, I like the idea of a shooty shooty pew pew rpg
