I haven't even bought any of Falcom's Trails Of games. I did, however, start Falcom's Tokyo Xanadu Ex+ today.
I quite liked TX. The soundtrack was pretty good. I liked the comfiness of going around town talking to the NPCs and following their lives. I liked a lot of the characters. The plot was sorta weak, and I'm not a fan of action combat, but the rest of the game made it up for me. Would be nice to get a sequel.
Yeah, I can get why you would say its plot is weak. Its probably a good thing its pretty much the first JRPG I've ever played.... decided I didn't want to get into Persona 4 during the school year, so I put it off till Christmas Break and decided to play TX instead. But the fact that its my first means its relatively generic-anime plot isn't really bothering me.
And yes, the game feels pretty well populated.
borderlands, the pre sequel
and i'm running claptrap
If you finish TX and liked it, I would recommend checking out Trails of Cold Steel 1 & 2. In fact, they're the game Falcom made right before TX and have a lot of similarities. Same people who did TX's soundtrack. Same gameplay of going around talking to NPCs in between combat sections. Like TX it has a high school setting, but it's set in fantasy Prussia and you get to explore that empire in the second half of the chapters (whereas in TX you spend the entirety of the game in just one city). It has my favorite iteration of turn based combat in any game. The plot of the first 2 games is really, really good. The English localization is superb. It also has Towa so that's a plus. That said, since TX can be a 80 hour long game, I can understand if you don't want to plunge into CS1 which is another 100 hours of half high school.
The other Trails games are also good. Trails in the Sky was the first in the series. Is more of a classical JRPG where you go travelling around the country. Has a more varied main cast, with some men and ladies in their late 20s and early 30s, and also a little kid party member too. Is slower paced (takes 20 hours for the story to get really going, which is a shame) and the battle system is very rough, though.
Well, the Majesty series isn't that graphics-heavy, although you might be a bit put off by 2's art design (although, to be honest, it's an improvement to 1's in certain respects like showing what tier of weapons and armor your heroes are using).Hmm, for fantasy kingdom simulation I've been playing Elvenar for the last few days. Browser games are about all I'm able to do lately.
Ah, my video card exploded a while back so I'm currently only able to run games that don't need one, and much to my chagrin that seems to only be browser games and stuff running in dosbox. I have no idea why, say, Age of Wonders III has such requirements that my PC can't run it without the card but I'm finding that even games that are clearly entirely sprites, for some stupid reason, think I should have a video card to play them.Well, the Majesty series isn't that graphics-heavy, although you might be a bit put off by 2's art design (although, to be honest, it's an improvement to 1's in certain respects like showing what tier of weapons and armor your heroes are using).
Eh, given how fractured China's politics can be, I wouldn't count on a universal attack pattern. At least until more power is consolidated into the federal government, so to speak.Ah, my video card exploded a while back so I'm currently only able to run games that don't need one, and much to my chagrin that seems to only be browser games and stuff running in dosbox.

I'm strongly hoping China shutting down crypto is going to make video cards less expensive than solid gold replicas of video cards.

terror dreams of eagles in far cry 4 and bears in 5. Since when did wild animal attacks become hyper realistic in games?
