Well, it best have better been this big with how long it took lmao. Hoping most of that is completely new content and they're not counting like recolors or scene edits. That said, either way, I'm ironically more interested in the story being completed more than anything else so I really can't wait for this to game out.
Though as J300mer stated, there are some non-erotic or bizarre erotic content. Yet from an immersion standpoint it plays at the idea that not every monster girl is your version of hot (kinda like the real world), and sometimes you just gotta break the bad news to them/avoid, or in this game's world, fight them off! I've also found that enemies that don't fit your interests also bring variety and heightens the value of enemies that do.
What the heck are you talking about, dude. The game literally has the best turn based JRPG gameplay, PERIOD. Even games like Octopath Traveler, Persona 5, Kiseki series, etc, have much less customization and fun with their battle system. Piss off, many people play those games for the gameplay and plot, I for example don't give a flying fck about erotic content and don't want it to be integrated in the gameplay. The gameplay is what carries this series over from the first MGQ game, get a taste, buddy. If JRPGs aren't your cup of tea to begin with, then you aren't someone qualified to judge their gameplay's quality, lol. Not everyone playing this series is into femdom, and not even the majority of players. The original MGQ had a decent plot and Paradox could offer one of the best turn-based RPG gameplays in any video game ever made. There's a bunch of other femdom games for you to fap that have primitive gameplay, like Estra's Labyrinth. Paradox has a comple and hardcore JRPG system that's a perfect blend of JRPG classics, it's anything but dated. Valuing the MGQ series primarily for its porn is blasphemy.
I agree the system sometimes needs some balance but overall its pretty fun to play with all the customization, Ive triend most of the races and clases and yeah there are some that are absolutely broken yet its fun to try new things. some of my favorite builds for example are shizuku with double berserker effect or Ragora with superstar and predatory moves, but there is always someting cool with other monsters. in my last play i actually used queen Laura a lot, she is an amazing healer
The game has bland, dated gameplay. Deal with it.
You say that. But from what I've heard and seen through other videos. It seems that there are some that are sick of automatic combat in AAA games. Not to mention that the qualities of AAA RPG games are becoming more lackluster with nothing inspiring. So having gameplay that MGQ Paradox has will be enough to excite people. Though like you said, it depends on different views of gameplay from one another. But I will say that the gameplay is not dated by a longshot.
As a nerd whose hometown teams were dogshit, the food was the only thing I could look forward to when I got dragged along to stadiums...
I share the frustration with the antiquatedness of the game design., we'll see if nostalgia, quantity of retro gameplay/art, and concluding story fill in the gap left by time and desire for novelty.
I mean this kindly, I think you are over-presuming in this instance. What draws one in is not necessarily the same as what keeps someone at later points in time. It's often easy to project what keeps you as what keeps others. Kinda like how some sexual relationships start with sex, others with friendship, others are arranged, etc. Most probably start with sex and yet many last for other reasons after the sex wanes. Perhaps, our reasoning for playing paradox is similar.
Not sure what you mean, but the 'non-erotic' or bizarre content IS erotic to me. If I want realistic sex, I have sex in real life, dude. Porn that's basically what I can get in reality bores me. This is also why regular narrative content (novels, games, comics) that are to close to reality also bore me, so I mostly only read and play fantasy/science fiction. Thus, in my porn, I would much prefer unrealistically unique scenarios and kinks, and that's one reason I love Monster Girl Quest. We're talking about a world where the local wildlife are all (mostly) feminine creatures that have sex both to reproduce and nourish themselves, and that goes to the extreme from plantlife to mythical creatures, insects, and animals.
Well, the majority seems to disagree with you. If you were there in various monster-girl communities or other erotic communities and subreddits before MGQ became popular, you'd know that 99% of people were surprised by the game's rather good story and that's why it became popular (and drive much of the discussion around the game). The setting and highly unique erotic scenarios also helped a lot, as it went in on the whole monstergirl thing instead of giving you a human with cat ears and that's it. The gameplay was basic and is even more so in Paradox. While I'm sure some people are okay with it, I find it hard to believe that people specifically 'adore' it as a core hallmark of the series when basic RPG maker mechanics are constantly and widely trashed here, F95, and many other places and have been for almost a decade now waaaay back when people were already getting tired of RPG maker games that were just grindy and poorly designed CG galleries.
wait... are u telling me people go for the sports?
While I also really like the JRPG system of this game, let's also be real for a bit. In the end the game is heavily held back (at least in terms of performance if nothing else) by the engine it's in. It's also not "hardcore" per say, unless you specifically choose to play it on the First Playthrough on Paradox difficulty (which sadly only scales the enemies to be harder, but does not scale the Gold/Exp rewards).
I'll admit that is a part of the problem. This game's almost falling for the Duke Nukem Forever problem, of taking too much development time (and inevitably increasing the Hype to almost unreachable degrees). But at the very least, since it was developed on Parts, we got a taste of the game (to keep us satisfied temporarily), and the game still has it's own features, including the extremely expansive JRPG system (huge number of Classes, Races, elements for attacks, Skills, even Skill Types etc).
I would assume that people who pay for tickets to sporting events aren't spending that money just to get to the concession stands, but the people they invite to come with them may not care about the game as much as the food. Similarly, it's possible that people who have bought the original trilogy and paid for the new games might have different priorities than someone trying this out on a whim, possibly through less than legitimate means. Or people might just have different interests/priorities. Not trying to judge anyone, just wanted to make a metaphor.
Well good news. You can view the scenes over at exhentai or press your luck with the link over at F95.I'm sadly also unable to get the demo. However, I did find this title image for it.
From the bottom right corner, looks like we're finally getting H-scenes with Neris.
