Pixelitis Picks: Our favorite JRPG elements
"Bravely Default is finally making its way to North American 3DSes this Friday, and it happens to throw a couple of JRPG characteristics for a loop.
Take random encounters for instance. For the first time ever in a JRPG, one will be able to control the amount of random encounters a player steps into with a simple change in the options menu. Players can opt to turn them off completely if they so choose. No Mrbl3, Repel or Diablos “No Encounter” skills needed.
Nevertheless, the game still features the kinds of features we expect from certain eastern RPGs, like the job system and chibi character designs. This got a bunch of us reminiscing about the kinds of tropes we most enjoy out of a JRPG. So join us as we try to make sense of our love for the genre." – Pixelitis Staff
