Loved DT's story, reminded me of a actual self contained JRPG. better than HW or SB

You forgot the Alexandrians with their Tron-like atmosphere, which I personally loved.

Ignored Alexandria because is not part of Tural and it has a simple yet convoluted story to to shard/time travel shaenigans: Lalas discovered an omnimaterial for everything, countries went to war for the control of that rare material, rejoining happened, a fragment of the shard survived with their tech and recreated the fallen princess as an AI. Also eventually started to digitalize people when they died but the maintenance costs gradually scalated, at the same time they started using souls as a fuel which allowed to have extra videogame lives to avoid untimely deaths. That created an unsustainable system that would eventually collapse on itself because Sphene was unable to let things go

So, basically...just ignore all the lore and then claim it doesn't exist? The backstory to why the mamoola ja live on the forest floor but invade the upper forest (not to mention the blessed siblings), the entire history of the yok huy (their expansion into the northern continent, subsequent withdrawal, etc.), the reason why the pelupelu became merchants (they weren't at first), the evolving relationship between the moblins and their artisans...

I mean, seriously, you don't have to like DT, but you can't just ignore all of the lore, pretend it's not there, and then claim it doesn't exist...

Could you please name the titles? I am genuinely curious what you are comparing DT with.

grandia, some tales of., DQ VIII, DQ DXI or even VII


just reminded me of a jrpg back when they fleshed out worlds a bit more and had a buildup and a climax. some jrpgs still do it to this day. but ps1 had more of that overworld building going town to town type

we dont really see that AS OFTEN in jrpgs

Because it is not introducing anything in the table

We need new stories twists and characters like emet graha that have this charm of being a good friend or being a good enemy

Tural culture: They eat tacos, childlike race have alpacas and love to comerce, bird race eat reeds and love celebrations, moblins have artisans on giants teapots, giant race dominated others and are insular now, cats and lizards get along by eating food, lizards live in dark forest, cats on upper area, also there are a far west area with no background.

And thats the resume of Tural lore which is sad because theres barely anything else.

Meanwhile in ARR you get TONS of Uldah lore and even on a lesser ammount from Gridania, Limsa and even Ala Migho before you can even visit it, the beast races, the political situation of Garlean Empire and much more.

DT was basically all the stereotypes you could fill from both Americas with some fantasy paint on it and My Little Pony Friendship is Magic behaviour on almost 95% of Tural population

Stereotype defines DT. It was the word on their mood board.
