Skipping the story in a JRPG to get to more combat is so backwards to me lmao (hexbear.net)

This is because "JRPG storytelling" usually includes 9000 year old little girls in lingerie and a part where you get betrayed by a guy who looks like a Hot Topic mannequin that came to life who is named "Betrayicus" or something

Western RPGs are too cowardly to have a villain as fabulous as Kuja

Ah yes, the monosexuality slayer.

"Where is this Kuja guy they keep talking about? Is he behind the tall lady in the bikini?"

Ff9 is just peak ff. I still remember Zidane accidentally groped Dagger's butt and said "ooo soft" out of no where and that's just funny as heck.

You've managed to zero in on just about the only part of that game that this community would hate and criticise anyone for liking. That's an art.

Honestly like this meme is funny but in reality this has happened like one time and it was Fire Emblem which isnt even a JRPG just JRPG-coded.

ETA: The other thing is every JRPG though and its cool.

I had a moral crisis deciding whether to marry off Nowi to one of the younger seeming men because she looks young or one of the older looking men because she's a howeverever old dragon lol. I just decided to say fuck it and go with whichever had the cutest supports like I was doing with everyone else, I ended up moving on before deciding I think.

Acktshully, Trails of Cold Steel 3 did it (a hundred-years old witch loli, but still), and it's a bona fide JRPG 🤓
