what are some games that subtly take place after the apocalypse? Like the game isn't rubbing it in your face with wastelands and rusty shacks and bomb worship and other stupid shit but beneath the surface things just don't seem quite right and hint at civilization as it was being destroyed in some way or another?

Underrail

Etrian Odyssey I guess?

You just wanted to shitpost about kemono friends didn't you?

it helps that its cute


yes

Underrail is in no way "subtly" after the apocalypse

go back to your no fun board /a/

Well, maybe not subtle enough, I guess, but it's rarely mentioned in-game: the Ar Tonelico series.

i want to pet beaver-chan

That shit looks awful

how is it presented in ar tonelico? I like how panzer dragoon does it - it's obvious you are exploring ancient ruins, many things do not work too, but the game never makes it about how the world is over, but more about a story within that world. Unlike say, fallout which is constantly pouring the imagery of the post-apocalypse in your face until its all a bland, brown blur.

FFX was one of such games. The world shows development but beneath everything was ancient tech and shit that used to be from a civilization that was destroyed and people still cant quite grasp how it works.


Im ok with this as long as lolis are involved

FUCK OFF
FUCK OFF
FUCK OFF
FUCK OFF
FUCK OFF

Kirby

Humanity lives on a tower that stretches through space, because the land bellow is ruined. It's hinted, here and there, but the actually ruined land is never shown, at least on AT 1 (don't know about the others, I haven't finished them yet).

>underage
:^)

Wakfu

that sounds very cool, and even reminds me a bit of gravity rush. Is the first game available with japanese audio and english subs?


same, lolis are a big bonus


so do you

there are other games but in most cases its a big spoiler
like with Stella Glow and shit

Oh, and also, of course, Breath of Fire III - you start the game on the "normal" world that has tech like computers and stuff - but they are assembled together from scraps that are dropped at the coasts by a black freighter ship that comes from the other side of the ocean. At a certain point you acquire the ablity to cross the ocean and discover that the origin of these scraps is a civilization that doesn't exist anymore, only their ruins (and a spacial station where lives the Goddess Myria)

Holy shit kill yourself.

this sounds very cool, I only ever played BoF2 on the GBA when I was younger and I think I'd like to look into the other games.

AT1 fortunatelly has full dual audio. AT2 has dual audio, but a lot of spoken dialog was cut from the Western release, because NISA (and there are problems with the game as well, you may have to patch it for Japanese-nly audio and to correct bugs). ATQoga and Ar Nosurge, I think, have full dual audio (since they're PS3 games).

BoF 3 is one of the best RPGs for the PS1, you should try it. The atmosphere is really nice because it's one of the few JRPG from its time that didn't shove a "save the world" goal onto its story - it's main theme is basically "finding the truth". There's no immediate nor remote threat to the world during the entire game.

I take that back, it looks like shit

part of why I love panzer dragoon saga so much is how it bucks expectations very quickly, like how the girl you may think you're saving ends up working for the people you're trying to get revenge against. Plus its one of the few games with a convincing torture scene. I also like how PDS isn't a story about saving the world, but preventing a calamity that would wipe out the people you met on your journey.

I'm usually a bit skeptical of PS1 RPGs because many of them are so long, and my time feels very precious so I edge away from major investments of time. How long would you say it is?


This sounds fairly practical, I think I'll look into back up loading the first game on my PS2.

It is EXPLICITLY said in AT1 that Mir almost destroyed everything.

Can't hide your shame from me faggot

Please no bully.

...

don't you want to have fun adventures and solve problems with your cute anthropomorphized animal friends and find out you're the last living human?

I want to mate'em all!

solatorobo

I should replay tail concerto on my PS2, it's been too long.

Secret of mana and a lot of other JRPG's. I remember there being a room with TV's that had broadcasts of a pre-apocolypse.

Ar Tonelico II has since had it fan retranslation patch finished. Also includes bug fixes, full JP audio, and reimplemented and translated content that the Japanese version didn't even officially use.
at2.metalbat.com/?p=664

Also, I think I've seen some sort of fix for the first game's audio; something about the FMVs not having Japanese audio despite playing on the Japanese setting, I think?

Mir had nothing to do with it.
artonelico.wikia.com/wiki/Grathnode_Inferia

It has? Good to know! I have the undubbed, bug-fixed version burned on a DVD from a long time ago, but I'll check this out.

well adventure time is secretly after the great apocalypse where the niagras and humans all die in a word-wide even that kills off everbody leaving only the buning remians that is the main characters and the wacky random filler sidelines called characters this original concept was brought to you by matpat theory about how finn the human is secretly ness from earthbound after the earth was swallowed by lava and burned everybody alive
haha what a crasy story ;)

For shame, Japan

Kemono means animal you dumbass.

lmgtfy.com/?q=kemono meaning

Xenoblade

phiIotes
back to >>>/vola/ with you

You only figure that out at the very end.

neko means cat XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

He's a serial kemono shitposter known for spamming his shitty futa furry waifus

...

Time to go back, you homo man

...

leave futafag

whatever happened to it?

probably autism

Why are monster girls so cute?

pikmin

Actually, that's where those screenshots were taken. It's still running, but it's pretty much abandoned.


People mostly just stopped playing, but we also had faggots like the ones that built this autism camp. I think the furfag showed up when we were raiding it.

After watching episode 7, I am convinced Humans are not really extinct and it's not really post-apocalypse. I think Humanity just made a gargantuan automated zoo with all the humanized-animals in the world in it, and then just stayed on their own side of the planet (or another planet entirely) and visit when necessary.

If there were zero humans left, there would be no animal who remembers Humans in living memory, and Kaban-chan would have no way of being born. That is obviously not the case.

And most importantly, I really don't think this is the type of series with even a hint of DEEP and GRIMDARK shit going on, even if just loosely hinted-upon backstory. It's just too cute and light for that.

so basically gook adventure time

I wouldn't know, Tumblr. I don't watch shit shows.

wow thats some epic sage as downvote and meme arrow use there anonymous

calm ya tits

Calm this!

*whips out dick*

You really showed him user, but can you handle, THIS

unzips knife

He's right though Adventure time is shit.

To be fair the animation in Kemono friends is odd because it's done at the normal framerate anime is done instead of compensating for the CG

Askardt, wherever you are, thank you for making me love this game's setting even more than I already did.

Yeah, took them nine years to get done and I think they originally hit a wall with how much they could fix, but getting ahold of a hacker from the Atelier Traduccion team to help them out did a lot for them, even going as far as to locate unused files, translate and bug test them, and reimplement them into the game proper. No English dub anymore between filesize limitations and the lines no longer matching for most of them though, Probably not a big issue to most people interested in the series, especially here, but I've seen some people still lament it in comments sections at times.

Not sure what the team might move onto doing in the future, whether they might also delve into touching up AT1 or Qoga (admittedly I'm not sure just how bad off Qoga is compared the official western releases of the prior two). Could be that they might give Atelier Traduccion a hand in return for one of their hackers having helped as well. Nothing certain though; last update on their site was from January with them giving an in-depth changelog of what the patch accomplishes.

Thanks, from the bottom of my heart.

god ar tonelico 1 is so awesome, misha is love misha is life

Nier is pretty good with this.

I'm surprised one mentioned this at all seeing the second game is coming soon.

Nah, I have a long backlog of cartoons

I think Fallout, which started out as a very exaggerated and parodical post-apocalypse but they tried to carry it on and build it out like it made sense and they just made it worse. 200 years after the fucking bombs and the world still looks like it was blown up the day before you arrived.

Fuck that. Green apocalypse like Tokyo Jungle or bust.

Alternatively, since you want cute animal girls and post Apocalypse, you could play Solatorobo

With low quality CG garbage, how did this become one of the most popular animus with Nips in years?

Cute characters doing cute things, that's how.

Crusader Kings II

How Five nights at Freddy's did, that's how.

by making streamerbait and catering to lorefags?

Not all recent CG has been gabrage.

Holy shit, man.

Any more like that? I remember being turned away from the genre when most of it looked like powerpoint presentations.

Kirby 64's Shiver Star and Pikmin hands down.

Almost chillingly.


Take your own suggestion.

Pretty sure the Nip Gundam autists would fucking riot if Sunrise skimped on the CG budget, especially since anything around the original series is practically a sacred institution there.

The constancy and attention to detail in Origin is top-tier as CG goes.

Please stop.

Motherfucking 1213

Atelier games

because the monster is on the outside

that's fucking deep

no, fucking deep is mating with shark girls

...

I know that's by no means an original post, but I like this sentiment all the same.

If you swing by /monster/ though, you'll notice that many of them are romantics at heart. Sure, they want a powerful rapemachine for a wife, but they also want to lovingly hold hands, give headpats, snuggle in bed after sleeping in late on a sunday.

Get a waifu that can do both

That's kind of my point. They want both.

Fuck off with your special snowflake waifus.

How can a series that has such shit animation be so addictive? It's like something out of PBS only not gay.

...

I knew from the start that OP just wanted an excuse to talk about Kemono Friends. It is a really good show though so I can't blame him.

Yep, it checks out.

A lot of the animals have mentioned that they remember being just animals before "obtaining this form".

So they could have a vague memory of what humans are but nothing solid.

I was in that boat. the fact they went CG with the suits made me upset but then they made it fit so well.


Monster girls make for the best waifus

the animation is ugly, but having cute, charming characters working together with sweet, peaceful music and fun resolutions to problems with a little educational touch all on a backdrop of a somewhat bleak setting makes for a pretty entrancing work. It's not amazing or anything, but I feel it is tremendously sweet and a fun watch.

That's a great pic

Have more?

Sometimes i wonder how Vivisection theme would play out in a post-apocalyptic setting. Something that could be very rad, if there isnt too much vodka involved.

What show is that from?

wew

Looks interesting, Source?

Man, I dropped that shitty anime somewhere around episode 5. I guess I should have kept going. That flawless logic from the robot is simply ace.

what show? will post cute grills for the trouble

Now that I think of it most games with it at a theme do have an overt Apocalypse in the style that it was man made and thus mankind deserved it. An environmentalist notion about the destruction of man, but ignores the fact that nature is far more cruel and capable of destruction that man could only dream of.

Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet

I got you my dog.

My favorite character in this series is actually the bus, believe it or not. I want to do a little analysis on this series of pictures on /tg/, since they attempted to make a setting out if this before many of the non-water based (and mostly forest based) ones were drawn. At least I'd have fun doing it.

T-thanks ;_;7

This entire show was just a giant long boring fart. Embed related was one of the few portions to be any good. Robot-san was the best character by far though.

At one point I thought the Sonic games were set in a post-humanity future.

The Sonic Comics basically are just that.

The Last Remnant is set on a post-apocalyptic earth.

Kenshi very much so. It isn't stated outright but you keep seeing ancient ruins and shit.

Too bad the game is total ass atm.

Not that there's anything wrong with nier's setting but I don't think it exactly qualifies for OP's conditions

Kemono means beast in nip user.

If you actually wanted to experience a game like that why the fuck would you ask for spoilers you retard?

It's cute and educational for children. I'd love to see it dubbed in different languages so at least kids watch and learn about animals rather than watching soft core porn disguised as funny Spider-Man and frozen Elsa videos on YouTube

I thought Custom Robo did that whole thing right up until the end of the tournament or whatever

BoF3
was
the
best
JRPG
ever

because it is fun
also checked

Not even lying, memes made it popular. There weren't even that many people watching it at the first three episodes but the few that did made memes and posted them to 2ch and twitter. Intrest in the memes gradually got people to watch the show.

As more people started watching, more memes started being produced.

Partly true. I only started watching it because all the fan art and porn made me curious, but the show is pretty good on its own merits. It's called word of mouth advertising.

And just like /monster/ you'll remain a lonely weeaboo. Get a real girlfriend.

How did I never notice this?

Why can't we have good cartoons anymore with a focus on story instead of adding bullshit like gender identity and cuckolding.

Watch Space Battleship Yamato, no gay weeb mechs there.

...

It was nice before the Adventure Time threads became Jojo threads. Wish that it went somewhere but we all know that wasn't happening.

Gas yourself furnigger.

Wait, what? I don't remember this one. I remember the factions one where Xenos kept griefing shit. Not the one with gay pixel art and furfags.

I can appreciate that sentiment, i'm the same way. Anything much beyond ears and tails is too furry for me though too bad you can't get either one with 3D women though, most of the time. The sooner we get human-like AI waifu androids the better.

I would love nothing more than to snuggle in bed and rest my head on the chest of the woman I love, having her run her fingers through my hair, only later to fuck like animals or move to the couch and watch movies/play games together. But I try not to think about that, because it makes me sad


you don't even have to look beneath the surface to see whats wrong with that dumpster fire of a "game".


brilliant. I need to give this show a watch again. I stopped only 3 or so episodes in.

caves of qud, if you can get past the roguelike-tier interface

But user, what if this was your waifu? How could you say no to rape spider cow demon?

I don't see the cow there. But honestly probably not Certainly not my preference though.

I dunno either but that's the Ushi-Oni.

Mershark is cute too, it's basically a headpat slut

I'm something of a zoo buff, and while kemono friends is childish even for anime, it's got enough "research" into it to make it not complete crap.
Also to OP's credit, the apocalyptic setting is brought subtly enough.
