Love having all my party members twiddling their thumbs defending and healing while one guy fails his steal rolls 10 times in a row

I extra love it if the steal move deals damage so you have to also worry about the target dying from too many failed attempts

I double extra love it when it’s a boss battle when on top of everything else the story momentum just grinds to a halt while you fuck with a stupid RNG for 5 minutes

    I kinda think that this a big reason why the “Traditional JRPG” is a more-or-less extinct genre outside of the Persona series, and whatever weird remake, or “narrative experience” experiment SquareEnix is working on right now.

    i agree, only atlus (persona and smt dev/publisher) figured out how to make these games fun in this low attention span era. Theyve been on a roll, even the new franchise looks awesome, they even managed to make Yakuza a turn based jrpg and its awesome.

      Was fantastic though.
