Never hurts to play some old games like these while camping pixels/tracking on blue... amirite? ;)

I want a new EQ game that looks like this:

And I want to feel like that guy when I go into dungeons again.

And I want to fail at dungeons until you're like level 30 becuse they're basically impossible.

Is that game DS3?

I want it to be persistant world like EQ tho :(

But yea I want it to look & feel exactly like this:

figured chrono trigger would landslide this thread. its in progress.

idk man chrono trigger... it was the first official "too much shit to keep track of in this game" square game IMO

I personally think FF2 is the best of their games.. it has all of the things I love about FF but its simplified in a way that doesn't make it feel, bloated or convoluted... which FF3 feels to me.. 3 is just 2 with more shit everywhere... Even the art feels more 'gritty' to me than 2.. it crosses the line somewhere from cartoony simplified imagry to trying to be real? but still cartoony? and gritty?

idk... 3 just made me start to think that graphics are getting too good for my taste.

Honestly I think chronotriger is to FF3 as FF3 is to FF2.. So for me that makes it even worse. \

Not that I didnt enjoy the game.

Does it have to be an MMO?

I could maybe recommend some single player RPGs from the late 90's early 2000's where you get the shit beat out of you, that has an extremely strong EQ "Open world" adventure feel to it with no pointer arrows for quests, basically "you figure it the fuck out yourself" type of quests.. Perhaps even more open world than EQ itself (single have better world design on average)

I guess im always open to game suggestions.

heres an unsolicited one while were at it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QiaB8eVXaE

damn those manga cutscenes hold up extremely well. More games from that era would have been better served to make use of that style.

Even today, some "live-action" cutscenes look like shit in 2016 compared against the manga style.

I remember cringing at the Max Payne 3 cutscenes.

Lol fair enough. It's getting harder to find jrpg that aren't strategy games as I go up the generations of consoles. Most seem to go the monster hunter/kingdom hearts route of controlling which while is fun isn't as fun to me. Even new ff15 looks to go that route. Any recommendations for later gen consoles ? Seems most rpg are on the vita unfortunately maybe I should get a ps TV .
