I honestly cant name many games that have dialog scenes like that where the gameplay is worth getting to lol. But I also like, really like narrative focused games and JRPG aesthetics so I'm built different.

Some of these games might have unimportant dialog scenes that are worth skipping to get to other dialogue scenes.

I'm only guessing, I've never encountered a JRPG story worth enduring.

Damn that sucks for you considering most of them are.

I mean Im exaggerating for effect here some JRPGs have bad or average stories, but some games like Chrono Trigger youre just wrong if you think the story isnt good. Sorry, no room for taste there. Its not tropey bullshit you can just write off like other JRPGs. Its one of the greatest games in history and Ive met tons of people who otherwise do not vibe with JRPGs who admit that.

Others appeal to me personally but might not for everyone, like FFX which is one of my favorite stories in any medium, but should at least get more respect then your post there gave.

@ username, opinion worthless

The Yakuza games imo have dogshit stories that drag on, and while the combat isn't necessarily worthwhile, the business management game where you appoint a chicken as senior director and have him cluck at shareholders during meetings sure are.

The main stories are bad crime drama. The substories are quality though.

I'll admit that I've only played 0 and 7 but those are apparently some of the better ones so shrug-outta-hecks

Nah it's fine. Do you.

There's quite a few: Bravely series, Octopath series, nearly every Kingdom Hearts, same with Star Ocean, Persona 5 if we just keep the dungeons and confidants, every Fire Emblem since Awakening... And it's just a short list of modern-ish games.

I mean I guess where I differ with people is that I think that the story is skippable in literally any of those games (especiallt Star Ocean 2 dear god).

Eta: ok you can maybe skip the story in Bravely. And i know kh' wank isnt for everyone. I love it though lol
