Yeah their experience is extremely valuable. Ill check Broductions !

yeah but it's not Jrpg

@@MrSatanislav but it makes jrpgs feel fast-paced in comparison

Yeah …that kinda kills it for me honestly…

Also no costumes.

That's just every first trails game for every new arc. And the good thing about it is that it makes sense story wise and they it so it was not a real deal breaker that players would drop the game due to that

@@Snzn18 trails works, I've played them, cuz you don't need to go back to other towns hardly lol

@@shayne604 You will do a lot of travelling if you are doing the all the side quest. Some side quest will make you go back to areas that are not in the same way where your main quest should be done. Part 2 trails do make you go back in forth to town albeit you can fast travel to towns but You will do a lot of on foot travelling from area to area to accomplish missions.

Story is good? I had trouble liking the story,and the cast,lmost all the character other than mc,and his girl were the one getting basic standard characterization in game,the enemy cast was yer usual bad guys for tbe sake of making the mc look cool and all the girl was over the heel for our main character.

Yeah... if the grind wasn't so atrocious, it could be palatable.

@@Dpyrt Didnt have much trouble with the grind, put it on autobattle and go do something else, i did that to get the requirements for the rewards in the guild.

@@Spacefrisian At that point, I may as well play something that's worth my time.

The ones that I picked up on -Gaur Plain - Xenoblade -Battle!! - Xenoblade 2 -Silver Will - Trails in the Sky

Growlanser series is good though,all was decent

SMTIVA was a blur to me... I really didn't like it. The original SMTIV had such an awesome feel to it, and I found the asset reuse in IVA and the changed story to be a snore fest. IV's neutral route, though, was crazy long.

SMT Strange Journey Redux is even longer and much better than SMT IV Apo

@@nr2676 True.

I wasn’t asking if you think the game is good but they are very long.

Yea, CS1 took me about 70 hours, 2 was similar. 3 and 4 were both 100+ for me.

I tried to catch up to Trails of Cold Steel IV by playing all the previous titles. Let's just say I burnt out when I finally got to IV. Still have the save so I can go back anytime.

Seems like he doesn't really do much side stuff, and also plays on either easy/normal. So that'd explain why he tends to get games done faster. I definitely play at a slow pace, cause i love to get caught up in the games atmospheres and do as much side stuff as i feel like. Trails is essential to do every side/hidden quest, it feels super wrong to skip on all the content in that series. Cold Steel IV is my longest game played at about 160 hours.

@@domfabio8850 I definitely do every single side quest, and try to get as many accomplishments as I can reasonably get (e.g. chests, scanning all foes, etc). I do play on easy most of the time just because work is hard and I just want to feel decently good at something at the end of the day. 😅 I also play at a pretty slow pace, going to check in with lots of NPCs after events to see how dialogue has changed... especially the heavily recurring NPCs like Anton... if a game passed where I didn't find Anton and his new obsession (Sharon!), I would feel like I failed. So much work and world building goes into those games that if you miss out on optional scenes, dungeons, quests, etc, it feels like you haven't connected with the game nearly as much as you could have... I just love Zemuria and its inhabitants so much and all the throwbacks (e.g. the Capua family being ripped off carrying through all the way through the series) really endears me to getting as much out of it as I can. Things like the complete history of the Leeves student dorm feel very important to me, how the Capuas lost it to Minnith, and how that rippled to Armorica in Azure with Chief Tolta and his son Derek, how the baths were personally installed by Aurelia Le Guin, etc.

@@vorpal22 No shame on playing on easy, especially if you value your time and are busy working all the time. Although if i was to give a tip on combat. you can easily abuse chrono burst/delay and stack up on tons of action orbs and other items that boost speed, even hard mode feels very easy. By the late game you can just out speed and delay your opponent to the point where evasion becomes completely pointless to focus on. Evasion is always amazing for early-mid game though. Magic is super OP in CS3/4 thanks to that new command system. Musse's command i remember being really OP. and probably some others i'm forgetting.

@@domfabio8850 Good to know... thanks! Eventually, I'd like to play a Trails game on normal difficulty, but since the series is so long and I wanted to catch up on story in particular, I didn't want to struggle on combat... maybe I'll try Reverie or Daybreak on normal. My usual party is Rean, Kurt, Ash, and Juna... Rean could pretty much beat any non-boss battle with gale / second gale. (My partner would hear the starting noise of that craft and say, "Second form... gale!" along with Rean all the time.) I need to use arts more skillfully... the delay in using them has just always made me nervous unless I manage to trigger a no delay effect. I would S-craft the bosses, which usually took care of most of them after increasing break damage, with a few exceptions, so they didn't even get an attack. I do love Musse... she was my choice for Rean. I know Alisa is kind of canon but just saying, "Lady Mildine Juzileth de Cayenne" is way too much fun. I would swap her in for Juna gladly. I had Juna at a stupidly high evasion level and despite her gunner / striker ability, would put her at the front of the party... she would dodge everything thrown at her and counter with gunner. I really appreciate the tips and you taking the time to type them up. What other JRPG series do you like? Have you ever been into ATLUS games?

Tales of Arise seems to have even longer DLC final dungeon. It was a proper grindfest.

@@B1az1ngSuN ffxi and ffxiv enters the chat.

@@chronofantasy1987 online games dont really count man, they are never ending in a way

@B1az1ngSuN but you're referring to ffx having the longest optional content in any FF game, which is completely false, especially where FF online games do exist and as you mentioned they can be endless. Therefore they have the longest optional content in any FF titles, not FFX, where at some point it has a shorter end. Eventually, online FFs have an end to do all its content too, it's just that much further away, and people often have their own goals or burn-out playing and move to another game, but reality is, these are the ones with the most optional content of FF titles, not FFX, and FFX isn't even the longest for single player FFs anyway.

Ditto. 150.
