Re: CF-WRUP V: Good play. Nice talk.
I got Tokyo Xanadu for the PS4 the other day and thought I'd give it a plug. It's only $12 on sale right now, I think for another week or two. It's a simple but pretty fun game, and it might be a good fit for you Persona-loving folks. Even though it's an action RPG and not turn-based, the phrase I would use for it is "Persona lite." It's got otherworldly dungeons, slice-of-life downtime, even friendship gauges with your teammates. Heck, it even operates on a calendar like P5.
I'm only a small way through it, but I'm digging it so far. Worth a look if you've got an RPG itch to scratch.

That's a game I've had my eye on. Is it $12 digitally, then? I might pick it up for the sale price, since my PS4 should have plenty of room.
That said, there's an EX version, I think? I'd have to look into the differences, but is it that one, or the normal one on sale?
Speaking of sales, I guess the Zero Escape series is being heavily discounted on Steam right now.

Re: CF-WRUP V: Good play. Nice talk.
I wasn't clear enough - Tokyo Xanadu was the original Vita release, and Tokyo Xanadu eX+ is the PS4 remaster. So it's all the same game.
And yup, digital version is $12.

Sweet. Probably not going to touch it for months, but I'll jump on that at that price.
E: PS4 version is $18... which is still a hell of a step down from $60, so that's downloading right now.

Huh, that's weird. That's not what I paid. Does PSN ever change prices mid-sale?

I've got a ways to go with Fire Emblem before I switch to something else. Speaking of, 3 Houses does have school elements...

...I'm gonna get some sleep and double back with Episode 3 thoughts in the morning whenever I wake up, then hit Episode 4.
all I'll really say for right now is that looking at these stats the amount of possible variables going into the closing couple scenes must be pretty wild, probably easily the equal of the big Max/Chloe/Frank scene in Season 1.

Re: CF-WRUP V: Good play. Nice talk.
Do you folks enjoy playing JRPGs on Steam? I saw the first game in the Trails franchise is basically only available in the west on Steam nowadays, and I'm tempted to give it a try. But I've never played an RPG of that type on the PC so I'm curious for thoughts.

If you've got a controller, there's literally no difference. I have the first Trails game on Steam, and my X-Box controller plays it just fine.

Re: CF-WRUP V: Good play. Nice talk.
Any differences depend on the game. Some might get support for higher resolutions and other tech-y stuff versus their original console versions depending on who's doing the ports. Load times might be better, or definitely will be better if you're installing to an SSD vs. an older console's HDD. There might be patches for things that never got patched on consoles, or maybe new bugs entirely. A lot of NIS America's PC ports have been especially problematic, at least at first.
I vaguely remember there being a mod scene for the PC version of Final Fantasy XV, and hacks besides for all kinds of other things, though that's usually not much more than a curiosity.
Something like a Trials though would probably just be a straight-up port, yeah. They should play exactly the same if you're using a gamepad.

Re: CF-WRUP V: Good play. Nice talk.
Let me know your experience once you start playing. I bought Trails of the Sky on sale but haven't started yet, nor have I played any true JRPG on Steam yet. I've been on the fence about buying the Steam controller.

Re: CF-WRUP V: Good play. Nice talk.
Steam has had native support for PS4 dual shocks for a while now, and 360/XB1 pads basically forever, so making the case for a Steam controller is getting harder and harder. Pretty sure Steam even supports the Switch Pro Controller by now.
But maybe this has also knocked Steam controller pricetags down into the basement.

Yeah, I just read some instructions on using a PS4 controller on the PC. I'm curious to give that a whirl.

Re: CF-WRUP V: Good play. Nice talk.
One annoying snag (but probably an understandable one) is that not everything on Steam will display Playstation button prompts in-game just because you plugged in a PS4 controller. If it's a Steam game with a PS4 console version, maybe, but more often than not you'll be seeing Xbox labels no matter what pad you're using.
It's not impossible to get used to but it can take a moment, and even after several years I still sometimes forget or get tripped up by the X button since it's on both controllers in different positions.
I'm just glad that at this point all the major controllers use basically the same layout with minor positioning differences and different names for only like four buttons. A big leap from the chaos of the old days for sure.

Re: CF-WRUP V: Good play. Nice talk.
Thanks for the heads-up! That's good to know.
Just while we're on the subject, it's weird that these kinds of games haven't migrated to the PS4 by now anyway. The console seems pretty port-friendly based on all the old titles we've been getting, and Trails was of course a PSP title to begin with.

Re: CF-WRUP V: Good play. Nice talk.
I remember playing KoToR on PC back in the day, and using the kb/mouse to do it. It was a bit awkward at first, but worked just fine. As for Trails, I just fired it up, and it doesn't seem like the kb/mouse controls would be too weird. Still, you can pick up any cheap wired X-Box controller, plug it in, and be fine.
