Any mods to get rid of Western gameplay?

[DonJonTX]

Is there a mod to fix the loot/money system? Why is there a loot box at every corner with a +20 defense or offence gear. That also sells for 200 coins so the money system is broken because your filthy rich and nothing seems earned?

Is there a mod so these npcs dont feel so soul less?
They never react to anything just stand there, also most npcs duplicate iv noticed it multiple times

Is there a dating mod like Persona?
Or do I just do fetch quest and get a thank you heres a vest that you can find at any of the other billion loot crates. So there no cute girls part of the story, no damsel in distress? Is there a way to have multiple girls and choose to be loyal or go for the harem?

Why do the main characters feel so empty. Im a few hours in and so far its the old teacher, and some slitherin kid who I could care less if he took a long walk off a short bridge.

Wheres the music I havent heard any memorable music like say Witcher, Zelda, Nier, Persona.

Why is this so damn boring, is there a mod for that?

You could always just stop playing and admit it's just not to your liking.

You could play the main character as a cute girl, if you like. And you'll probably find yourself in distress whenever you fight a troll or a large group of mooks like poachers or goblins.

There are a bunch of missions where you get a companion, and that companion is female a bit over half of the time. Whether Poppy or whomever counts as "cute" is a matter of opinion, but at least you can both cast Incendio and that definitely counts as "hot".

I think people should call out the issues that way developers can stop making the same mistakes. They should take notes from Jrpgs.

I'll settle for mods tho, Skyrim had many mods that helped it. Dating, story, loot, money system, music. These are things that can be modded. Be nice if it was vanilla but with this woke/hand holding society of gamers I doubt it

If you wanna ride Shrek or Thomas the Tank Engine as an elf while wielding a giant sword or a gun instead of the wand go ahead.
Mods will make your ptsd go away.

But im trying to immerse myself as the mc. Crazy how the Japanese got that right, Persona especially, even Witcher a polish game. Like you can date one girl or multiple, if you get caught talking to another girl its hilarious.

This games just void of anything like that. Its so dull, the npcs too everything is so hollow

Well i agree OP has a point, that you get WAY too much money through selling looted equipment. I'm drowning in money and have bought everything there is i need, all recipes, all seeds, etc

Good god, no thank you.

Jrpgs have that horrendous overacting and hyper emotionality that comes across as immature and hard to take seriously. The hordes of scantily clad anime girls throwing themselves at my character are also annoying.

Besides, I prefer the western approach to female characters (before the woke brigade seized the writting rooms of game studios that it is) when female characters had depth and versatility, whereas jrpg's female characters are one dimensional, breasts in a piece of cloth, caricatures most appealing to teenage boys.

And dating? Seriously?

you get rich way too fast, i agree on that. About the other points, you really need a therapy. You reaaly expect that underage characters to date multiple peoples, get caught cheating? Is it really the goal of a HP game? Just enjoy the game and its world.

And if you reaaly don't like anything aside Japanese RPGs, go ahead. I am playing RPGs for several decades now and I can tell you it's a non sense to seek the same thing from Japanese, American and European RPGs. Each is different because of their cultural origins.

[DonJonTX]

So you dont want a cute girl in your game? Lets take Witcher than as my example.

Is that still annoying how they had dating there? How you can choose between a few hot females. Id be much more immersed in the game if there was a female part of the story.

It adds character development, id actually care if something happened to them. You should earn being able to date them, choose right dialogue and do their side missions.

That way when they are threatened I have a need to go rush into danger.

Not just a story about me and some old guy and this side kick, its so plain

[DonJonTX]

Bakou, isnt your MC a super senior a 5th year? You can easily be 18 or 19. Id say add other 5th years or whatever they were called.

How is this specific to western game design?

I mean have you played Genshin Impact? Exactly the same gameplay from a Chinese studio.

There are plenty of western games that have memorable music. Some of them were developed decades ago.

Take for example Ascendancy, a strategy game where each species had its own memorable score that defined the species identity and culture. You could tell how a species was going to interact with you just by listening to its music track.

Ok they didn't hire a large orchestra to perform every track but that doesn't mean the music is any less memorable for it. Especially since they weren't exactly bringing in over a billion dollars a year.

I think i can smell this post

[Akemua]

Why are we getting lectured about game design and the ♥♥♥♥ he's saying more games should be like are games designed for turbo-virgin Japanese school boys.

Like, I can guarantee you I've read more novels and played more games from Japan than the average Japanese, that's effectively what those specific type of games are made for.

Persona games are derived from dating sims that took a more action/story approach to.

Lol truth to this post.

Only a creepy lonely grumpy boomer could want a dating feature in a game about school children.
