At the time their modern formula appeared on PS2 (Persona 3&4), they were a welcome change of tone and design in a market dominated by Final Fantasy-ish operatic jrpgs.

They're obvioulsy milking it now, which make the apparition of Expedition 33 and other -indie- JRPGs a very good sign to me. I'd love a remake of Vagrant Story or Koudelka, too...

I actually enjoyed that, and it was foreshadowed, but i'd also defy anybody to explain FF7 Remake's scenario to me in a way that'd make it clear XD

Your expedition 33 experience is relatable, actually. They've made a Jrpg so well they even got the "let the scenario become confusing as fuck" part right.

Like FF7 remake 1&2 :) Or Kingdom Hearts.

I think what you like about FF7 remake is that it is not a JRPG, but an action-rpg. I'll say it's a good one on that aspect, I just hated the generic ubisoft open-world design with tons of boring minigames as fillers for badly paced/light novel narrative beats.

I do love Persona 5 OST but yeah, there is an overdose at some point. Expedition 33 avoids that by having a specific OST for each zone of the game.

I have no specific action-rpg to recommend in mind, except kingdom hearts 2 if you feel like going a bit retro.

Very interesting answer, thanks! It's not the first time I'm being told of Commet, it sounds very interesting as well

I'll put it in my notes and wait until their distribution system is a little maturer. It looks pretty Discord-adjacent

Oh did you both install it? It's neither on Flathub nor F-Droid

So far, I have stumbled upon Stoat, a project called Sharkord, the Matrix network and the XMPP network.

Xmpp is both secure and snappy. Stoat doesn't federate but the interface is really Discord-like.

Some kind of XMPP based Stoat would be nice.

Tried it 🏴‍☠️, they seem to have gone for "It's bigger than the first one!" and indeed it is. Big, empty spaces to run through with nothing happening. Uninstalled. 70€ saved.

Stop making huge environments full of nothing.

Wow dat shit is both cursed and insulting to voice actors as well as gamers.

"Too stupid to progress in the game and look for tips online? Let our voice-stealing AI play the game for you while you go back to work, you stupid slave."

Very interesting comments. Does anybody know of a good linux alternative for FLStudio? I've seen LMMS, but I've also read it wasn't quite there yet
