The real issue here is that there are contextual definitions of terms that can be inclusive or exclusive.

In terms of deciding what should be allowed to make threads about on /vrpg/, a broad, more inclusive definition makes sense. Exclude games like Smash, Civilization, and Mario Odyssey but allow Dark Souls, Diablo, and so on.

Meanwhile if someone makes a thread asking why JRPGs all seem to use a similar anime style and gives examples of games that all have standard JRPG gameplay, using Dark Souls as a counter-example is something only a retard would do.

>>1396673
Incorrect. You're using a different meaning of the term 'skill' as the anon you replied to. He's clearly using the term "skill" to mean good or well-practiced timing, reflexes, muscle memory, and hand-eye coordination; not good decision making. Back in the day we called this twitch skill. If a game emphasizes on "character skill," that implies the player makes tactical decisions using those skilled characters. This is and ALWAYS has been a core component of traditional RPG combat. Even in 1-Dimensional "niggas in a row" style JRPG combat you make tactical(b) decisions.

And of course we can drill down further and find there are two relevant definitions of "tactics." Tactics(a) emphasizing unit movement on a battlefield (disqualifying niggas-in-a-row combat) or tactics(b) art of using available means to accomplish an end. Games typically referred to as TRPGs (or mistakenly as SRPGs), tend to use the (a) version of the term.

A great example to look at is World of Warcraft (classic, anyway, I have not played it recently) and similar hotbar/cooldown ARPG games. It is a real-time game, there's time pressure and some demands on twitch skill. But overall, the game is more about decision-making and good use of a character's skills and resources than it is about a player's finger speed.

With Dark Souls this is reversed. There's a tactical element but the action skill is dominant.

It's been that way for a long time. /vrpg/ is just a slow-moving /v/ with an RPG theme with lamer humor and boring uncreative trolls.

Higher risk, higher reward. If your party gets initiative, everyone gets to go before the enemy, giving you the chance to sweep the encounter before taking a single hit. If the enemy gets initiative, it could do the same to you.

Vayne IS in the wrong, but not for the reasons you think. He is absolutely 100% right in opposing the Occuria, but contrary to the impression everyone and their mother seems to have, Ashe and the rest of the cast doesn't like the Occuria any more than Vayne does. They both agree that the Occuria shouldn't be allowed to control history, their conflict rather is about who should.

Vayne, Cid and Venat all keep claiming that they want the reins of history back in the hands of man, but once you look deeper you realise that they're lying - to themselves most of all. They want the reins of history in THEIR hands, not anyone else's, so really they're just exchanging one set of tyrants for another. Conversely, the main cast are fighting for the ability to choose for themselves, to make their own history. The struggle for freedom is one of several themes that's present throughout the entire game, all the way from the start when Dalmasca is occupied by Arcadia to the very end when Ashe adresses both fleets above Rabanastre and tells them that they're finally free.

Vayne is not a liberator trying to throw off oppression, nor is Ashe a puppet of the Occuria, despite their attempts. Occurian control of history ended with the destruction of the Sun-Cryst. The battle that followed is about who gets to control what's left.

Just gotta brew up some headcanon. Elone in Seyda Neen can tell your character about a lot of places, which you can consider a motive for exploration. Or you could be someone who wanted to go to Morrowind to find a specific artifact, and build your class as a scholar or pilgrim.

Even at times when you think the author is a parody of retarded shitlibs, often they are actual human beings with nuance. In this case the article on the right was her talking about how even she defaulted to making herself, and she proceeds to talk about how this was an important lesson to her that games with avatar creation need to give extensive options to allow people to always make themselves in the games, whether they be fat or black or whatever, since otherwise people will try to make themselves, fail, and feel excluded.

>Now you can shit on this point all you want but what I want to convey here is, it's not retarded hypocrisy like it looks at first glance, and actually reading articles instead of mocking the titles will usually be helpful. I know that the title "basic-ass character creations" is inflammatory, but that is indeed the name of the game in journalism and if you let yourself get tricked/riled up by inflammatory titles then you're exactly the kind of thoughtless sheep you're making fun of here.

Why does the law enforcement always seem to be a constant jobbing force in RPGs? Is it to make the often-unrestricted-by-bureaucracy protagonists seem more competent by comparison?

Yeah. If the local guard corps/cops were more competent than heroes there'd be no need for heroes. It's enough that they can maintain order under normal circumstances in the relatively stable areas you visit. Extraordinary circumstances require tye protagonist to go beyond that.

Yes, if law enforcement was competent they might actually have an impact on the story. They might dissuade crime by successfully apprehending criminals, reducing potential drama. They might solve problems by taking out violent criminal villains so your protagonists don't get to do it.

You want drama and you want the protagonists to be central to the action. You could make the protagonists into law enforcement though, adventuring bounty hunters and nobles can be law enforcement. This can work well, but then you'll likely make the protagonists into elite law enforcement and make it so the player character and their party do virtually everything important.

They certainly rack their head around trying to convince everyone that its not a mere Dark Souls game again. This is the bigger leap of evolution than what Demon's Souls and Dark Souls ever be, people already aware enough of their reputation and how it works. It's definitely harder to convince people that "no guys, this is not Dark Souls 3.5, this is a new thing". Hell, even people are convinced enough that Sekiro is the same thing as Dark Souls, even with all the gameplay changes put into it.

they just had more meat on their bones, they had more damage buttons during downtime (which is what, 90% of the time?) utility in the form of knockbacks and defenses that were more than just "10% damage reduction" that functioned more as enemy debuffs, such as Virus and Eye for an Eye (the latter you put in a tank which proc'd a bebuff on the enemy that made them weaker) as well as shit like heavies and slows, there was also cleric stance, which was your dps stance, which gave healers a high risk/reward factor when contributing damage.
nowadays they are playable, but they are much less involved and don't have much about them that's interesting other than varying degrees of progressively more powerful healing cooldowns, many of which were just removed/rebranded abilities we already had before, take WHM for example
