I wish party based RPGs would make a comeback

[CmdrShep2154]

I miss hoping into these amazing creative worlds chock full of lore and memorable characters to fall in love with and being presented with choices that give me the illusion of controlling the direction of the story. Besides the ME trilogy I also enjoyed FFIX.

Dragon Age Inquisition was the last Bioware game I truly enjoyed. I didn't hate Andromeda but it didn't grab me like the others. Anthem was the abandonment of the Bioware's spirit.

I wish another company would rise to the challenge and give us creative new worlds, memorable characters, and unforgettable stories.

Why aren't you playing the Trails of Cold Steel series then? Come on down and meet Class VII!

This is your chance to be the change you want to see in the world! Don the mantel of developer and bring forth these new worlds.

Highly recommend Octopath Traveler.

I liked a lot of the aspects of the game. But man.. something about the love for high school simulators in JRPGs these days is kinda getting me ugh lately.

Dragon Quest XI exists too, party based RPGs haven't really gone anywhere.

I got the PS pass and it has the first two of the newer series on it, not really where I wanted to start it, but so far I'm liking what I see, though it looks a bit more complicated than I was expecting.

Only the first game is really high school, and even then only half of the game takes place in it. The other half JRPG adventuring. Half of CS3 takes place at a military academy (due to the events of CS2, the new academy is actually pretty militarized) and you're an instructor guiding the students. Again, the other half of CS3 is classic JRPG adventuring. CS2 and CS4 are JRPG adventures all the way through. Barely 1/4th of the saga takes place at school.

Trails games can look pretty intimidating with all of the tutorial screens they front load, not to mention the sheer number of NPC conversations to keep up with. I know I was pretty intimidated when I first played CS1, but by the end of chapter 2 I had pretty much gotten the hang of it.

Yea, I'm going to stick with it as it's been awhile since I found a NEW jrpg series that's not DQ or FF

Give Divinity: Original Sin 2 a whirl. It is one of the best party based RPGs out there IMHO. Loads of choices that affect the whole game and an amazing cast of companions with their own story lines.

Play Greedfall. Lower your expectations a bit as Spiders (the developer) doesn't have the budget of a Bioware/CDPR etc game, but it should be right up your alley if you're looking for a Dragon Age Origins-type of experience.

Pillars of Eternity and Tyranny exist

The characters are utterly fascinating, brilliantly acted and well-written.

I feel you.

Sadly there are only asian games in that category left and they are mostly heavily tunnled Story wise...
And i (personally) despise the artstyle. Cannot get any immersion at all from those Not very humanoid looking things.

But i have yet a bit of hope left for the next dragon age. Because if they miss that one or overmometize it bioware will be over...

Party based RPGs make a come back? They never went anywhere. How did I know who OP was before looking? Hell even if you wanted to exclude JRPGs things like DOS and Pillars say hi along with a slew of other CRPGs.

It doesn't have to be made by bioware to exist, and it's probably better off if it's not made by them... just saying.
