I thought gaming was a waste of money in general. Imagine putting 70$ on a toy that'll only entertain you over a weekend.

Is PC the Ultimate Platform in playing Jrpgs
- Thread starter SNG32
- Start date
No one wants physical games on pc. There are plenty of games that come out on pc first then consoles later. You are also basing the timed exclusives on past events. Going forward it will likely be different.
Before the gpu crisis if you bought all the consoles it was the price of a pc. Mid gen refreshes made consoles more expensive then pc. Now you only need a pc to play 99% of games.

There's too much insecurity from some console people about PC gaming in general. Of course being generation-less it will have the largest catalog and will also be able to improve older games via emulation. And usually you only need a toaster level PC to run JRPGs.
That's actually one of the reasons I would buy a Steam Deck down the line.

Because where else can I play Dragon Quest 8 or Xenogears in 4K?

no lies detected.
PC gaming is all about playing a game for 5 minutes, tweaking it for 10 hours and then playing it for 5 more minutes before uninstalling but not before taking amazing pictures and showing the power of your PC.
LOVE IT.
PC gaming is buying a 3090 to play NES emulator.
LOVE IT.

I'd be cool with that, assuming I can find one without having to sell a couple of organs.

The vast majority of Japanese games don't require a RTX3090 anyway.

#1) On any given day you get stupid BS articles like this
https://diamondlobby.com/tech-guides/why-pc-gaming-is-dying/
coming across news feeds trying to pick on the quiet kid at lunch because it has nothing to prove. Then we get yahoos like idiots posting in here about how PC gamers are insecure and have to defend their purchases.
#2) Look I could give two shits what outsiders think. All I know is that 100% of what is coming to Xbox is coming to PC DAY 1. All the greatest hits that were exclusive to PS are coming to PC now. Who gives a shit if its same day or years later. It makes its way over.
#3) If the only excuse is that you get it sooner, you are admitting you have a severe case of FOMO and have to justify your purchase just like you accuse PC owners of doing. Talk about a double standard.
#4) Also people talking about how developers don't touch PC like they do consoles. It has been asked, and answered. Developers don't go to PC because it is the wild west of platforms. They cannot control the ecosystem (like they can with closed systems like XBOX / Nintendo / Sony) nor how their product is distributed once they release it. It has nothing else to do with any BS reasoning dropped in here. They don't want to come to PC first, because of piracy once day 1 is over. So they save it as a last plaform for a quick profit before they retire the product. That is the only reasoning continuously given as why PC is overlooked for a primary release platform.
#5) I would also like to see just how many console owners actually have every generation of console they owned, still, today, and every game they purchased for it. Admonishing emulation as some sort of joke, yet talking about how you got exclusives for your consoles in the same breath is the real joke. I don't have to go out to buy a $100 SNES classic to play mario kart, or Final Fantasy 6, or Super Castlevania. I don't need to subscribe to Nintendo LIve to get what has been on PC for decades. They had their time and were abandoned. So as far as I am concerned they are fair game to the open source community to provide options for reliving those experiences.

More like a raspberry Pi 4 for $55. Can't argue that value proposition.

I enjoy playing them on my PC, Series X, or PS5 pretty evenly...I also like playing them on my Switch OLED/Switch but the problem there is some of them can be so relaxing I always fall asleep..I think im getting old

You technically can but some textures and text don't appear correctly. It's a sub par experience for me personally even compared to the PS3 version.
Whens the last time you played it on there?

Yes but you are playing Super Mario Bros. in 8K@240fps, so that's really worth it.

PC,XBOX and Switch get most 3rd party jrpgs the switch gets all of the NIS games so you dont need a sony console for YS,Trails or disgaea the only games you are going to miss out on is like P5 and FF7R for now everything else can be played on a mix of the three platforms. On Pc you can play alot of the jrpgs that got stuck in japan so thats a massive plus depending on which games you want to play.

To me it seems like they need to justify their $800 GPU purchase.
Don't forget the 15 hours of Skyrim modding and the hundreds of unplayed Steam games.

PC and Switch? Yes. Xbox? No.
You act like everyone who goes into pc purchases an 800 gpu. That's not the case with every situation a laptop with a 2060 can play everything these current consoles can play.

The primary reason I prefer PC is rooted in the endless versatility of the platform. Emulation only supplements my Steam library, etc.
With PC, you get to customize nearly every aspect of your gaming experience down to the processor, the GPU, the amount of RAM, the speakers, which monitors and how many, which gamepad you want to use, which keyboard, which mouse - it never ends.
Have Halo Infinite on one monitor, Discord on another, and a third looping some Elsa Jean JOI video... plus, no additional fees to play things online.
It's the coolest thing, man.

Not really man. The large majority of my rig was built in 2015 and I'm still able to play every current title at high/ultra settings in 1440p with 60fps. Once you have a build going, you just sorta make minimal adjustments as you go.
Current pandemic influenced hardware scarcity aside, PC gaming really is as cheap or as costly as one wants to make it.

And yet it feels like you guys constantly need validation. Again, if it's so good, why the inferiority complex?

Validation from who?
Have you visited this site before? A large percentage of banter here revolves around platform bickering.
I don't need a Switch owner to validate my PC ownership with... wtf argument is that even? lmao

Discussion, and exploring a unique vantage point.
I think JRPGS, and my mind immediately conjures up the classic titles I discovered via SNES and PSX.
Never considered PC as a JRPG GOAT, but yeah, I guess it is.

No, but it's the ultimate platform for viruses, hardware breakdowns, people who have too much money, overpriced GPUs, cheaters, hackers, cyber fraud and theft.

Actually, Persona 3 is on my to-play list of games.
In this case, emulation seems like the most viable choice.

Why do either need to cite specific titles?
I'm lost here, man. lol
Like would this link clarify things?
I don't get it
Lionel Richie

Real talk here, that game sadly doesn't have a "most viable choice". The ideal choice would be mixing P3P and FES, like having party control, FemMC and the additional end game of FES. As it is, it's a very annoying game that badly requires a Golden version.

Yes xbox especially now with BC you can FF all the way to 15 minus 7r and 14, Tales you have all of them up to arise, all yakuza games, All Kingdom hearts games, All Nier games plus the original US version of Nier from 2010, Want me to continue. Literally the only jrpgs you arent getting are atlus, NIS and depending on whats happening Level 5 thats it.

So your parents built you one then? I've built 3-5 PCs , it's overly expensive and not as comforting as playing on a console and really only use it for video work and rendering.

This thread turned into a weird anger thread from various people all the OP asked was is PC a good platform in general for jrpgs and at this current point in time yes and thats without emulation add in emulation and you can play pretty much everything. You do not need a PS whatever to play alot of these current, old or upcoming jrpgs. If your mad about that blame sony some one in this thread asked about whats the best way to play persona 3 the only way to play P3 "legally" is either have a ps2 and buy the game get a ps3 and hope its still up on psn or buy a Vita for an insane amount of money and then get the PSP version of P3. Your going to still need a ps2 or a BC ps3 if you want to play P3 and not fes. Bottom line It seems like sony doesn't bother to port forward there older jrpgs they already showed that they have no problem burning JP devs with censorship so its not surpising they dont want to port older jrpgs. Even better on ps5 you can even play Trails of cold steel 2 there is a game breaking bug that will literally soft lock your game and there no way around it.

No? I bought a second hand case and PSU, then slapped them together with the best CPU, Mobo, RAM, and GPU I could afford at the time. Took a second until I got all the parts I needed, but I eventually got the job done.
Still have the same CPU, Mobo, and RAM in my build today
Was even paying rent at my old apartment at the time

I have a PC, and use it for work daily. 1660 Ti, Ryzen 3, Asus Motherboard, forgot the exact model, built in late 2019.
I just made the post to piss off die hard PC kings. My friend spent 6,000 on a pre built PC with 3090 GTX and had to return it because it wouldn't turn on until they fixed it. , so I make fun of people like him.

It's a little weird that the ultimate platform for playing jprgs doesn't doesn't the last final fantasies or persona mainline game but in terms of accessibility you can pretty much access most jrpgs released ever in pc, via official means or emulated.
