Why is there no rougelike as good as this gem right here?

Because the classic Mystery Dungeon games sold more.

Someone else played this??
I have a Playstation emulator on my desktop just for this game.

>Someone else played this??
Of course. I bought the year it was released from the bargain bin.
Boy that was a pleasant surprise.
>>
This is another game I wish would be released on PSN. I have this and the GBC version around somewhere
>>
>>320216894
Dragon + Picket fusion was my favorite
>>
>>320216894
I still pull this game out at least once a year to play it.

Cheryl best girl.

>>320216894

Rented this game at least 5 times from Blockbuster. Never beat it.

>spoiler
ouch

Damn good game, I don't even really like JRPGs or roguelikes but this really hit the sweet spot
>>
Would love for a proper sequel. Or at least a remaster that touched up on it's imperfections.
>Make post-game interesting (maybe add the 99 basement floors/monsters from GBC version)
>Give perks to having girlfriends/penalties for not keeping up on relationships
>Make shops useful

That game is criminally underrated and almost infinitely replayable.
>>
>>320216894
>Have this game
>Friend of my ex finds out I have it
>Says she loved it but could never beat the final boss
>She used infinite health cheats to get to the top of the tower

For those of you who don't understand: The final boss is a scripted event where you have to die.

This game scared the shit out of me with a form of mounting dread that creeps up on you. The way the theme music starts off all happy on the low floors and gets gradually more sinister as you move up the tower.

I've also never played a game that made me feel so out of my depth when biting off more than I could chew. Accidentally going up to a floor you're not prepared for where things kill you in one hit is scary shit.

I played the first couple Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games. They were the closest thing I've found, but hardly up to the quality of Azure Dreams.

How's Super Mystery Dungeon, by the way? Also, I hear Dark Cloud is somewhat similar but haven't played that either.

My favourite creature was the U-Boat.
That one time I hatched an egg and it was a U-Boat of my own was a glorious day.

As for those fucking Clowns and their level down spell though... fuck them.

I have literally never met anyone in person who has heard of this game before I told them about it, Glad to see it has some love.

>That moment in MGS when Psychomantis says you've been playing Azure Dreams

Only he ever really understood me...

This game had the best semen demons, handsdown.

they're my favourite, and U-boat is my most hated creature
we're sun and moon anon

I got it when it came out , purely out of not knowing wtf it was. Best decision ever. Such an under rated game.
>>
I never beat this shit as a kid. I got a savefile from a friend who had a level 99 gold sword and diamond shield because they were the only weapons that didn't rust when stepping on those shit traps. Also when I emulated it a while ago I quicksaved at every elevator and reloaded the savefile when the floor was too hard. I effectively did a level 1 run by savescumming like a motherfucker since the endboss can't kill you no matter what.
>>
I love Azure Dreams! I've probably spent thousands of hours between that game and Jade Cocoon.
>>
>>320216894
For a purposed roguelike, this game is incredibly slow.

>>320229479
I don't know about that. It's not fast, but it's certainly not the slowest roguelike I have played.
Hold down the skip buttons at all times and the game just flies by.

I loved my kid/dragon. Being able to eat metal was my favorite ability.
The moment I found out eating metal also includes coins - no more food shortage ever again.
>>
>>320232307
can't remember that monster, but I remember that some monster had this skill, so I probably got it.
>>
The game was ridiculously poorly translated and ridiculously poorly balanced.

Also Shiren The Wanderer is probably a bit better.

Hell yeah Jade cocoon. Granstream is good if we're talking other games.
>>
>>320216894
Are you desperate enough?
>>
>>320233528
I tried granstream saga for like 15 min and got bored like a million years ago, but it's one of those games that I know I need to try now that I'm not a little retard.

Try Ehrgeiz, Quest mode. Such a shame to see it overlooked because Quest mode is a secondary mode in what is a fighting game.

not OP, but I finished it, and felt disappointed when I found it being that short

Shiren The Wanderer was the the shit. Shame they made PSP version easier.
>>
>>320234041
Only, at least in Shiren you couldn't become completely unkillable by combining your pokemon with the arachne or the block. Made the game pretty boring in the second half when your digimon killed everything in one hit or only took one damage from everything.
