SCARLET NEXUS (Official Thread)

[CarltonJunior]

All the way at phase 8 and the story is flames.

A few points get knocked off due to it making you revisit areas a lot but I officially rank this higher than ToA.

Haven't played SMT5 yet but I'm declaring this the best JRPG of 2021 for now. For now anyway.

As with most of these games the first hour was so bad It took me a month to get through then I started to see how it worked and I've been playing it straight for two days now

Every time they mention "a dud."

Beat Yuito's story

Best JRPG of 2021. What a journey.

Just started this on Phase 1 on the 1st mission with Hanabi and I can already tell this game is going to be great.

From the the tutorial alone getting introduced to the combat with the psychokinesis and then seeing the brain map with all the skills you can learn and the SAS activation with your teammates

It feels that way cuz it's a slideshow format but there's more substance to the story than most games like this

I liked how they had lil persona sidequests for the characters and how it powered up the powers, made me care about the side characters by the end

Arise has slideshow side conversations.

This game has better combat and is better written than Arise. But Arise has a better atmosphere.

Arise feels like this big, vast grand journey out of a storybook. This feels a lot more self contained, but it's better at grabbing your attention IMO. I can see people not liking Scarlet Nexus story but it's just more interesting than ToA's story. I've seen the story of ToA a thousand times in JRPGs.

Arise has skits that have been a stapled in the series for decades, that's not how the story is told and you can skip them stop capping

Scarlett Nexus is fukking trash, it's a mobile game basically, simple ass combo, no real combos, can't switch party members, copy and paste environments, nonsensical story and mediocre graphics and character design

The entire story nexus is told in that style, and all the character interactions are like that, and not to mention their all terrible because the characters are terrible and nothing about the interactions make sense storywise, you just get done fighting some of the characters then they want to hang out at the cafe, this game is retarded and for retards
