they are working together they are fighting together, they get super attacks by working together, they use the power of friendship
So... you want a party-based JRPG where the party doesn't fight as a party?
yep, it did
I am saying if they do they are using the power of friendship. they will at one point in every game say i fight with my friends
The entire thrust of any group-driven story is that the group is able to overcome difficulties because they are stronger together than they are as individuals. That's the entire point of having a party--unless you go the Octopath route. In which case, I hope you didn't do the true ending because lol.
which is the power of friendship, call it comrades teammates or whatever that is exactky what the power of friendship is
If you consider that the power of friendship, I'm going to go ahead and say that any form of story that is about a group of individuals working together is a story you should stay away from.
I said god damn.
accept it is quite literally every game that has a moment of "come on we can beat them if we work together" is using the power of friendship
Well, in Final Fantasy Tactics most of the characters hardly add anything to the plot once they join the party. They don't even interact with each other.
I think people are confusing that I hate the trope i don't, it's just I have come to accept that it's a core part of party based jrpgs,
Hey guys remember when Shepard used the power of friendship to beat the Reapers
So play game that doesn't have party members if you hate team that much. Or do you prefer your MC big dick energy solo the boss and left the whole party clapping because how strong he is? lol
I think the problem is that you insist that every JRPG has the trope. No one would argue with you if you just said it was a "common element" of many JRPGs. Whereas no one is going to agree with you when you make a blanket generalization and allow zero exceptions.
I guess I'm confused now because yeah, something like this line is inevitably going to come up in any party-based story; Be it western RPG or JRPG. It's the core mechanic--both from a storytelling perspective and gameplay perspective--of any of these games.
I wouldn't say a bunch don't i'd say out of 100%, probably 0.1% don't
Imean i guess your right, i went to tv tropes to look up other video game examples I has assassin's creed , 2 and brotherhood, stating they use the power of friendship
That's how team based actors activities go though. Like Jordan can't win an NBA championship on his own, Brady has no Super Bowls without a team, and Squall can't stop the sorceress without help. It's not really a trope, just a part of human life.
I mean. It's kind of hard not to feel camaraderie while working together toward a shared goal. Would you rather the party treats each other like coworkers at a middling job? Just kind of, being next to each other but not really talking about anything?
