Let's discuss FuRyu here. I think this company is a breath of fresh air in today's industry. They allow their developers to experiment in interesting ways, but also make efforts to appeal to traditional JRPG audiences.
Their latest known project, CRYMACHINA (coming to the PS4, PS5, Switch and PC this Fall in the west) is a Japanese sci-fi Action-RPG directed by Fuyuki Hayashi (the same director behind Crystar and Monark) and developed by AQURIA (the studio behind the PS Vita's Caligula).

>>628So what type of game is this OP? Besides being a tradional JRPG, looks like a waifu game like nep or xenoblade, which I am not against tbh but just wondering what makes it any different.
No.631
>>629The game seems to have a flexible, combo-focused combat system with melee and ranged moves. The player can equip multiple drones in various combinations to suit his preferred playstyle, or so they say.
They also plan to include secret optional password-locked stages to add more replay value, just like Caligula's "World Reward" system.

As for the combat, it does look oddly paced, but I'm going to be cautiously optimistic for now.

People complains about western games, but whatever I see any of new Japanese games I feel like they are just trash and generic as fuck, just like nu-cucknime.

>>2808>more bullshit out of character female characters doing shit they would never even consider IRLHard pass.
No.2817
>>2810The game is a spiritual successor to Crystar after all (but with a much better dev studio this time), so it shouldn't come as a surprise that there's a bit of a girl power narrative.
But I don't think Hayashi is some major feminist. He just likes cute girls.

CRYMACHINA's western release is right around the corner.
There's already a free demo out now, so don't hesitate to download it if you're curious.
On a fun little side note, the game's director Hayashi praises Yoko Taro as a big personal inspiration. So much so that he sent Yoko a copy of the game as a free gift.

>>4029That depends: Do you like Action-RPGs? I know they're not everyone's cup of tea.
No.4034
>>4031I like them. In recent years, I've been more of a casual, but I'm trying to change that, and spend more time playing games. I downloaded the demo, thank you for informing the board about it btw. This will be a nice one to sink my teeth into. I like how there's a casual mode which reduces grinding. I don't have it on now, but I may utilize it if the grinding gets too heavy. This is one of the reasons I got away from these types of games over the years, because of the time investment they require.
No.4058
Are there any men in this game?
No.4059
>>4058Do there need to be? The game is about cute girls first and foremost.
No.4060
>>4059Don't get me wrong, I like the girls, but I was just wondering if there are any male characters. I played the demo for about a half hour, 4 female characters have been introduced and the only male thus far has been the audio recording of the dude freaking out on the stored data thing Leben interacts with in the first scene.
No.4071
>>4060With waifu games introducing men creates a tightrope situation where the men have to either be totally uninterested, noncompetitive and nonthreatening to the player when it comes to the girls in the game, or they need to be villains.
This has been amplified by the success of gacha games where this absolutely has to be the case to convince players to roll for the characters.
I think games are better when they can manage to implement women and I'm pretty sure other games by this developer have, but the easier route is to go female only.
No.4075
>>4071>With waifu games introducing men creates a tightrope situation where the men have to either be totally uninterested, noncompetitive and nonthreatening to the player when it comes to the girls in the game, or they need to be villains.I see. So in other words, the Japanese male player doesn't want to feel like his waifus are cucking him with a male character. A lot has changed since the last JRPG I played, lol. For me, it's easier to insert as a male protagonist, so it'll take some getting used to. Cute girls, though.

FuRyu just announced a new action-RPG, going by the name "REYNATIS".
This one's developed by Natsume Atari, with famous Square Enix writer Kaz Nojima and composer Yoko Shimomura. It might be somewhat of a spiritual successor to FF Versus XIII.
It's set to release in Japan on July 25 this year on the PS4, PS5 and Switch. More info coming soon.
