Love this game.
>>340133714
solid start to the thread, im always impressed by late night /v/. i loved grandia 2 when i was younger
>>340133935
The darker tones of the game really sold me on it when I was younger, stuff like pic related is pretty fucked up.
>>340133714
I know this is a multiplat, but it's still one of my favourite dreamcast games. Everything about it is charming.
I'll choose Legendia since it's my favourite game.
>>340133714
8/10. Intriguing and unique characters. Story is told well. Pacing is fine. Maybe a little too easy. Battle system could've been implemented better.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRV_A5ZDXyo
Been a while since I've played the game, I don't know how it would hold up. Was a big fan back when it came out though.
I somehow got growlanser 2 to save on pcsx2, hooray.
I'm interested in Grandia II because I've heard the battle system is good. Is the recent PC version the best version? Does anyone have a good download link?
>>340134790
I've never played this before, but I'm thinking about starting it up quite soon. Is it just your typical JRPG?
>tfw this was a one-hit wonder and the Tales devs will never make anything as good again
>>340134790
>>340134945
It's painfully mediocre in every way except the intro and music, which are pretty good.
>>340135147
I see. How long would you say it takes to finish? Side-quests? Secret bosses?
>50 hour JRPG
>nothing happens and the gameplay is boring as hell until you're about 25 hours in
I just wish it was about half as long as it is. So much of it is filler.
>>340135274
It's pretty long, but if you have a tolerance to early PS1 JRPGs it's a pretty good game. I can't remember if there's much in the way of sidequests, I think there's a couple optional bosses, and the game has a lot of puzzles.
>>340135274
>Side-quests?
It has a few optional dungeons.
>Secret bosses?
Yeah.
>>340135065
God, Abyss was such a fucking solid Tales game. I know people like to bitch and whine about the characters, but the battle system is still one of my favourites to date.
>>340135365
I dropped it after playing for a couple of hours, good to know I didn't miss out on much.
Such a fun rpg, had a lot of fun customizing the suits and weapons
>>340133714
>starting it off goodThis is my way of thanking you
>>340135403
>>340135451
Yeah I shouldn't mind then. I guess I'll start it up sooner than expected. Thanks anons.
>>340134945
You're better off playing the ps2 remake Wild Arms Alter Code F
You can skip random battles
>>340134936
Yeah, no reason not to go with the newest version.
It hardly ever goes on sale on Steam, but there's a GoG release so I'm sure there's easy torrents available.
>>340135669
The game is possibly a little disappointing in terms of story depending on how forgiving of the genre you are. It doesn't stick to western with a little magic, it branches out to just about any JRPG theme you can think of.
I remember playing this when I was a kid and I got horribly lost. The atmosphere was pretty decent imo but the encounter rate was crazy.
>>340135559
Somehow I've never heard of this.
Did anyone play this? It's a bit hard to get into but once you do, it's great. Simple dungeon crawling and turn-based combat, but with the addition of having a complex character breeding system that lets you develop your own massive family trees. It's really addictive and fun.
>>340134790
I remember having trouble with it. It's much more confusing than most RPGs of the era. Often you'd finish a dungeon and have no idea of what to do next. It doesn't do any handholding in that regard at all. A lot of the time playing is spent exploring the world for some clue as to what to do next, which is a bit tedious in a JRPG with random encounters.
Visually it's pretty awful because of that 3D. Some of the weakest 3D design of the PS1, and that's saying something.
Still, it was a unique game with a great setting, nice characters and story from what I remember. And like the other anon said, the opening is amazing. Still gets me after all these years.
3/5 game.
>>340135894
I played a little of it years ago.
I recall it being awfully grindy.
>>340135692
I'll check this out, thanks.
>>340135794
I don't usually pay much attention to the story since I forget what happens most of the time so thankfully this won't bother me.
>>340135489
The combat actually starts to get kind of good toward the end. It's just that even when the story starts to feel like it's going somewhere, it's not. The narrative stubbornly resists change in the name of continuing the tedium and drudgery of alchemy high school.
>Vayne's dad was famous or something
>But the game refuses to tell you what he did or why
>He went to this one super secret place, and you go there too
>There's nothing there, just a a dumb nigger dragon bossfight
>Isolde is clearly testing Vayne for some reason
>She won't say why and you're left in the dark except for very vague statements at the beginning of each chapter along with a black screen
>Flay is going to graduate which will change the group dynamic
>Nah he flunked, everything is the same for another year
>Sulphur is going to die
>lol never mind he's fine
>Oh shit he's going to die for real this time
>lol just kidding Vayne brings him back to life with his wish magic
Seriously, NOTHING HAPPENS. Also the combat, while entertaining with all the combos and special moves, trudges along because in dungeons you're not actually rewarded for battling. You're given AP, which you can't spend, because you have to make items to unlock the grid, which you can't make unless you have the recipes, which you have to dungeon dive for or buy from shops, which are unlocked chapter to chapter, and AGGGHHH.
Do not recommend.
>>340135801
This looks like a fake mix of other JRPGs.
>>340133714
>>340134159
>>340135612
Had a kick ass soundtrack too.

Radiata Stories
June is one hell of a month for games, and for some fucking reason I decided to pick up that Digimon game and Sakura Dungeon on top of everything that is on order.
>>340134159
Best arc in the game right there
What's the best game in the Romancing Saga series?
>>340136117
It's real.
And not very good. Camelot made it.
>>340136096
Uh, this sounds pretty terrible to be honest. thank god I stopped so early.
>>340136153
I own this game (still sealed) and every time I think of playing it somehow I remember someone telling me how strict the game was when it came to the "night and day" system. Is this true?
>>340133714
Could never beat this on the Dreamcast back in the day, had pirated games and the dump for Grandia II was fucked. Kept hanging at a certain point in the game.
Wasnt until a couple of years ago when I was able to beat it via emulation, even then the .CDI I downloaded had that same problem but was fixed by using the second disk. (The file was split into two disks to fit on a 700MB CD-R.)
Surprised no one mentioned this.
Never got more than 5 or so hours in before I lost interest, seems like a great game despite that though.
>>340136156
I dropped that around the third chapter of the first scenario. If I didn't really like the gameplay so far, should I bother with the rest of the game? It's better than previous Shining Force games, but still has slow gameplay, pretty simple mechanics, bland maps, and dumb AI.
>>340136156
One of the best tactical RPGs. The characters and story are amazing. It's a shame the other two parts didn't get a localisation at the time, although there is a fan translation now. It's a shame games like this got confined to the Saturn and so are almost unheard of while inferior games like FFT get all the attention.
I r8: 4/5
Shame there was only ever one game in the series and we never got that planned DS game.
Motherfuckin Air Pirates!
This was a really, really surprising JRPG I bought for like 4€ back then.
>Decent to good story
>Good characters
>Fun battle system
The only problems I had with it was that the rythm part of the combat was a bit bullshit at times and that you only gained the ability to change the type of battle system (there are like 12 of them) in NG+.
>>340133714
Millenia/10
My only gripe with the game is that it's kinda easy iirc and that theres absolutely no endgame. No optional things to do at the end of the game.
>>340136560
>One game
I assume you didn't like Origins anon?
>>340136156
Only ever played the remake of 1 on the GBA. Loved it to pieces, but I never sought out more. Worth emulating that and 2?
>>340136518
If you don't like a game when you're that far in, it's difficult to recommend carrying on. The main things that make the game good are its story and characters. There's also a lot of hidden stuff iirc, as in characters and items.
Just started pic related, so far so good. Am I in for a huge disappointment or its pretty good ?
>>340136653
Yeah, If you grinned monsters enough, it got pretty easy. And that cancel effect on some of the moves made bosses cake most of the time.
IIRC the Anniversary Edition on Steam/GoG adds a "Hard Mode".
>nobody posted this yet
hey is the steam port any good
the sprites look kinda blurry and weird
>>340136673
Saturn emulation is a bit complicated, when I played I had to give up in the final boss because he cast a magic which always froze my emulation, I ended up watching the ending in youtube, otherwise it's an excelent game, if you enjoyed the first two shining force you'll definetelly like SH3.
>>340136772
It's pretty great.
You've made a good choice.
This game seemed complicated. Worth trying to figure out?
>>340136657
Sure as fuck didn't for destroying the combat system and forcing one homogenized deck across the entire party.
>>340136772
It's really good, but a bit depressing for some reason. For a handheld RPG, it's really big and has loads of shit to do. Just try to stick with it. Also the combat system is awesome in that you can save up turns and use positioning to juggle your enemies around.
4/5
>>340136839
Of Grandia II?
Its pretty good.
Torrent the GoG version if you wanna try it.
>>340136940
I actually cannot wait to play the 3DS version. I'll finally be able to wander the world map without fighting monsters every damn second. The only downfall is that it's on the 3DS.
Just finished this game and I have to say I was taken by surprise by just how much I enjoyed it.
I initially went in not expecting much and wanted to play simply because apparently there are side quests and other things that you can get in the second game if you play through this first and import your save and I've heard a lot of great things about Suikoden II
despite the generic "you have to liberate the country from the evil empire!" set up I actually got immersed in the world and found myself enjoying the twists and turns with all of the characters
I'm now starting Suikoden II and I'm pretty hype because apparently it's much better
Biggest disappointment on a blind purchase to date.
>>340137143
I actually really like this game for some reason. I mean, I understand why people wouldn't like it, but there's just something intriguing about it.
>>340137060
If you liked 1 that much and for those real treat with 2. It's basically the same thing, but better in every way. Better presentation, better characters, better customisation, better story, better world, everything. It's one of the best JRPGs ever.
5/5
>>340136674
Oh, thanks anyways. Since I've heard so many good things about SFIII I was kind of hoping the later scenarios would improve the gameplay somehow, but I guess not. The story seemed decent but nothing special and camelot's storytelling brought it down.
>>340135065
I think phantasia x, destiny dc and vesperia are just as good. Rebirth is apparently very good, but as soon as its in english i bet the community will do a 180 just like with graces, xillia 1 and 2, hearts and innocence
>>340136772
Great game, story is solid and combat system is excellent. I hope you like it.
>>340134159
HEH HEH HEH HEH HEHHEH HEH HEH
>>340137441
>If you liked 1 that much and for those reasons, you're in for a real treat with 2
fixed
>>340137489
Yeah, it's basically the same for the whole game, except you get more spells and different specials, but the specials remain random.

>>340133714
Finished I & II last week. What a fucking trudge. I wasn't that bad, but II. Damn. Still, I'm glad I played them. It's making my experience of III a hell of a lot better. Fucking love this game. Just gotthe pheonix and on my way to kill the big bad. Looking forward to IV-IX later this year.
>>340137824I fucking loved II. It was a grind, but I loved it.
III however is my favorite game in the series. It's so good.
>>340135365
I loved it for all those reasons, its the only jrpg ived played that you can classify as a slice of life game. It's like anime prisoner of azkhaban
>>340135801
A launch title game that probably would have done better on the SNES. It's not bad though, just bland. NES bland. I honestly wish Camelot made more jrpgs, but I guess Golden Sun DS killed the dream.
BURRRRRN GURAUNDO
>>340137824
are the gameboy colour versions worth playing?
>can't find a decent updated Grandia 2 torrent
I haven't been a member of a private tracker since old bitGamer, is there a decent private tracker I should work on getting an invite to?
>>340138057
Fun games.
>>340138132
If you find one, please post it. I'm looking for one, too.
>>340138057
Arc the Lad 2 is so freaking massive, so many different plot lines going on in that game, it's epic.
>>340135897
Game's fucking GOAT on my Vita. Had a lot of fun just playing the damn thing. Always hunting a god just to hear a story to piece together is fun too. I still haven't tried a 4-man secret art barrage thing. I might later on.
>>340136603
I don't regret playing that game, but I feel like I could have played something else with that time.
>>340137961
My only real gripe with II is how much they had you inspect every tile and a half for items. The NPCs did help, even if it was cryptic, but some were just hard to locate. I had to use a guide for the last orb I couldn't find"the one in the fire shrine teleportation room areaIt was pretty fun to see the same world as I with a time lapse though.
>>340137961
Fuck if I know. I'm playing the S.Famicom translated version. Animated enemy sprites, amazing sound quality, new class. Shit's fun.
>>340136603
This game was amazing, beat it on 360.
What are some other JRPGs with fucked up stories and endings? I want some heavy stuff to keep me interested
>JRPG
>antagonist is God
>>340138138
>>340138223
I had a blast with 1 and got everyone to max level with their specialty items. Carrying that over to 2...I did not expect it to be so massive. It had a pretty large cast and I neglected some character so when I had to bring them on the more crucial bits...it was rough but fun. I felt that the bounties and hunter missions were done right in this.
I vaguely remember 3 and ToS was pretty lackluster imo in comparison to 1-3.
>>340136673
shit I didn't even know there was a remake of the first game on GBA and the original SF is one of my favorite games
>>340138723
3 was okay. Better then 1 but not as good as 2.
>>340138685
God ? you mean the jewish one ?
YHWH or something like that ?
>>340136603
It was pretty good, I wish more JRPGs had co-op.
>>340136954
If you like min-maxing every little aspect of the well developed combat then it rewards you for it
Otherwise it will feel grindy and bore you
And the story is complete shit but the battles and difficulty progression are great
>>340139081
That's why Tales games are a blast. However, they need to make it so that the other people can control their own character on the world map and stuff.
>>340138845
She was pretty cool. Her and broadsword Sephiroth
I'm in the mood for a game with a sci-fi setting and the two I've been recommended the most are Phantasy Star IV and Star Ocean 2
Which should I play?
>>340139468
Phantasy Star IV
>>340139468
I'm more biased toward SO2 because I haven't really touched the older PS games
>>340139468
Star Ocean 2 is lovely and the 2d fighting stage is Tales-esque if you like that
If you haven't played Xenogears it would be a sin not to suggest it over both of them though
>>340139468
I love both so it's hard for me.
I guess SO2 but still play PSIV someday.
>>340139468
PSIV for sure
>>340138723
>>340138845
3 was still better than the two PS2 abominations. Just hated that the story for 3, everything was done through the hunter quests.
>>340139468
Star Ocean 2 is very similar to Star Trek. I think it's the better game too. Otherwise I recommend Rogue Galaxy
>>340138462
>there's a 4-man secret art barrage
Had no idea. Do 4 people have to have the same secret art or something?
>>340133714
Grandia 2 is great. I was actually really surprised by the quality of writing and voice acting for a JRPG.
Ryudo was a good representation of the mercenary archetype. He was a lot more entertaining when he was a massive asshole before becoming a fairly standard JRPG protag, but his character development made sense
>>340139596
>>340139714
>>340139783
Well I guess I'll go with Star Ocean 2 then
>>340139735
and yeah I have played Xenogears it's fantastic
>>340138057
I've only played 1 and didn't like it that much. It seemed every single battle was just walk up to enemies and kill them with no consideration of the map really required. And the only challenging fight was the final boss fight with those mirror images. Are 2 and 3 any different?
On the topic of Sci Fi jrpgs, I really enjoyed Infinite Space. I never beat it though cause I got stuck and I think I had to grind for better ships.
Wish the combat was more than rock paper scissors
>>340139468
>sci- fi setting
have you ever played Sigma Star Saga? Seems like it would be right up your alley.
>>340138073
yes
>>340140347
Awesome, thanks. Is the SP the best way to play GBC games?
>>340140038
You still pretty much just walk up to stuff and hit it. In 2 you have different weapons a character can use each with their strengths and weaknesses. You also still have some magic that can expand its range when leveled enough. There have been moments where bad positioning can screw you but as long as you use your head, it's not all that challenging.
>>340140146
Infinite Space is my favourite NDS title.
I never finished it though because I grinded too much and lost track of what I had to because the game didn't have any journal or log.
I would suggest anyone playing this to write a log yourself because it would help plenty.
>>340136772
Finished it recently and while it kept my interest through the whole thing, I wasn't particularly fond of the time travel mechanics and the absolute bullshit it allowed.
>>340140407
dunno haven't emulated any gbc games
>>340140250
I'd never heard of it but I looked it up and it has some interesting hybrid shooter mechanics with traditional rpg elements gameplay system?
I might check it out sometime thanks anon
>>340140146
Great game. Combat is a bit shit but the world, story and ship customisation save it. If anyone has watched and enjoyed Legend of the Galactic Heroes, they should have this game recommended to them. Unfortunately, if a person wasn't into sci-fi and, specifically, anime sci-fi of the space opera type, that they would probably find this game really dull.

You mean you didn't use Holy Water/Holy Protection when you didn't feel like fighting for a while? What is wrong with you people?
One of my favorite jrpgs on the ps1. Legend of Legaia had a really cool atmosphere, and the combat was incredibly fun. The only two flaws I'd say it suffers from high random encounters and I think it's random when you learn spells from killing enemies.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya3a4Zsxn9w
>>340140913
When do you acquire those again?
>>340133838
Thinking about picking this up. Do I gotta watch the anime or some LPs of the previous games first?
>>340140913
That's not good enough. One of them only works if you're overlevelled and the other only reduces random battles, there's still plenty of them.
>>340137571DEMON HORDE SLASH
>>340136603
This seemed to start heavy handed and slow, I stopped after a couple hours and didn't go back. When does it pick up, and is it worth another shot?
>>340138820
The remake is better in some ways, worse in others. I personally prefer it though.
>>340136170
SaGa Frontier.
>>340141278
They kind of stack, not perfectly because the effect is different, but together the reduction is great.
Or maybe is was Padfoot that stacked, I can't remember anymore.
>>340141140
I fucking love Legend of Legaia. It had a neat world and a fun combat system. Progressing in the game felt good.
Too bad /v/ only ever mentions it in hard boss threads when they bring up shit like the Berserker on the top of the tower.
I've got a good torrent for Grandia 2. Should I post the magnet here or what?
>>340141841
Absolutely. I wasn't even aware it was on PC.
>>340141841
I don't see why not. Sure go on.
>>340141841
I played it on Dreamcast.
How is this version different?
>>340137060
Pretty good game. Some people say to skip 1 and go to 2 but if one likes the core elements that make up Suikoden 2 they should be able to appreciate 1 as well
>>340142208
I think it's a must to play 1 just to know the characters and events that lead into 2.
>>340135897
The thing I remember I heard about the game was that the story was infuriating because they make the main character really unimportant compared to some other character
>>340142360
That too due to characters like Flik and Viktor that recur
>>340136954
It's not particularly complicated unless you're one of those morons whose only "strategy" is grinding.
>>340141590
One is useless if you don't fight random battles/grind metal slimes, so it doesn't matter if they stack.
I guess the most efficient way to play the game would be to hang around and hunt metal slimes / liquid metal slimes / etc. whenever they first show up, but then the boss fights would just be a joke. Fortunately the 3ds version will remove random battles.
>>340142624
JAY ARR PEE GEE
Playing Valkyrie Profile 2.
I don;t know if it's just a PS2 game thing but it's slow. Like really fucking slow especially when the game is expecting me to grind or cheese the dumb as shit AI like the Kraken. I really know how to pick em but I hate leaving a game halfway through.
>>340142684
>tfw Square Enix so thoroughly destroyed the Parasite Eve series that the last game isn't even the same genre as the first
What does /v/ think about this game?
Bought it the other day, 360fag by the way
>>340142360
I couldn't really get into 1. I played 2 without putting more than a few hours into 1 and I was able to understand pretty much everything.
>>340142810
Nevermind
>>340142080
it's got some weird sound bugs but otherwise it's not too bad
its better than the PS2 version which is plagued with issues. the FPS tanks so hard in the PS2 version it's almost unplayable, even for a (kinda) turn-based RPG

But it has some problems with cutscene audio sync. Sometimes lines will be cut short abruptly.
Oh another cool thing is you can tone down the fucking footstep sound

guys - should i import the chinese/english subbed version of star ocean 5 from playasia or just get my murrikan copy from gamestop/amazon?
reason i ask is because i read a lewdgamer article saying that they censored the pink haired potato girls' panties into granny ones and i abhor censorship BUT im hearing conflicting info - some sources say its been censored just for the international (america) release while others say its too late and all versions have been affected
the thing is, that article was out literal days before the jap release date, and assuming the import version is just a clone of that like how most imports are - should i go with it?
my dick and i need guidance
>>340143381
I think there are patches that fix this. They're probably not included in the torrent, anyone got a link?

I always really liked Ryudo's voice. His bird also sounded a lot like fucking George Takei.
>>340143476
No, they tried to fix bugs the best they could but those isues remain. I played it on steam very recently.

Man, they did it. It was a complete pain in the ass back then, you had to pray you could find a save from someone who got past it the fight.
>>340143806
>possible spoiler
Millenia ouright tells you who she is, how is that a spoiler?
>>340143546
That's because it's Cam Clarke. Nigga has such an awesome voice.

PLS RESPOND

Is Phantasia still worth playing?

WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME THIS BEFORE
WHY THE FUCK AM I WAITING FOR AMERIKEKS VERSION INSTEAD
FUCK
>>340143476
guy that uploaded the torrent here
made sure it was an up to date installer
>>340144225
thank you
Speaking of Grandia, anyone play pic related?
>>340142359
I try to play this on my 3ds, god dam it does it have a a lot of things going on at the same time.
>>340144326
Which tales games have you played so far?
>>340144501
Thanks a lot, bro.
>that upload speed
H-he's fast!
>>340144607
Great scene direction and music. Graphic was nice as well for its time.
Everything else was pretty shit tho.
>>340144656
>upload speed
Thank the other anons. I think 4 people grabbed it so far, and now I'm seeing people connect but no one's grabbing from me.
>>340144326
Don't play Phantasia yet, Absolute Zero is translating the best version for PSP, it's better to wait for that one. Not just gameplay improvements, they added a lot of voice acting from what I hear.
>>340144739
Any youtube link for a good music example?
>>340139914
Yeah. I'm going off what the trophy says though. But I have done a duo tri-rock shot before. I wonder how a quad fist barrage would be like.
>>340133714
played symphonia, now this
rose's tits blatantly jiggle in that costume, its sugoi
>>340140146
Anyone have any idea what a copy of this runs you up nowadays?
>>340144645
Symphonia, Abyss, Hearts R, Graces F, Xillia 1, Xillia 2.
I own Symphonia 2 but everyone tells me to stay away if I have any love of Symphonia, which I do. I also own Zestiria but I'm not sure if I'm feeling it right now, considering all the hate I've read and also being spoiled on much of its plot. I don't own a 360 and that's unlikely to change.
What the the best JRPGs on 3ds? Bonus points for those with a traditional turn based system.
Ive been unable to get anything to really satisfy me. Ive beates tales of abyss on ps2, same with DQ8 so wont be getting that. FE fates was nice but i miss the traditional turn based system.
Something with good romance would be appreciated, ill accept PC recommendations
Man i miss legend of dragoon
>>340144936
No idea, but I heard a couple of DS games were getting a reprint recentrly. I wouldn't expect Infinite Space to be one of them, but it's worth checking that out, as it does influence the ongoing rip-offs err sorry, prices.
>>340144945
I really wish they would have just changed the name since Symphonia 2 was pretty solid to play. I've played the first one at least 50 times and I still enjoyed the sequel.
I guess you have no interest in Legendia? Anyway, you should probably play Eternia/Destiny II. Definitely a solid title in the series.
>>340145006
smtiv
>>340145006
I really enjoyed Legend of Legacy.
>>340145090
I think I'll get around to Legendia someday because there's this one guy around here who just loves it so much and I want to see what he's seen.
>>340144768
Thanks for this info, I'll keep an eye out for that. I was wondering which version I should play too and I guess that also answered that question.
>>340135559
fuck trying to get weapon drops from enemies.
>>340144768
PSone took forever to make. And they're adamant about not using the previous translation to help hasted ToPX.Still waiting on ToD:DC. Fuckers wont even release a menu patch. At least Vesperia PS3 was released not long ago.
>>340145006
>romance
seldom seen been done well this decade. Run Factory 4 I guess? I dunno about devil survivor, so maybe someone can follow with that. Last mention is Conception 2, but that shit is a desperate pick.
why does this exist
Grandia 1 is king
>>340145414
it's pretty great yeah.
I've been playing romancing saga 3 recently and it's pretty good.
>>340145006
Bravely Default is great, Bravely Second is shit though.
>>340134936
I managed to finish the game on emulation, it's not that hard to make saving work.
When the time reset, just load the file and overwrite it a few time, and reload it after that
>>340136170
Right there, that is the best JRPG I've played. I Though there are only three games in the Romancing SaGa trilogy while the SaGa series in general is more expansive.
To this day, I still haven't found a more charming and just fucking good to play RPG than these two. The characters are great, the combat is great, the world is great, the story is engaging...
I just can't decide which one I like more, I keep changing my opinion.
>>340145343
>this one guy who loves it
I'm actually that guy.
I would say give it a go if you have some time to spare. I'm not going to give you false hope and say you'll enjoy the game for certain, but if you give it a chance who knows what could happen.
>>340135365
The character design had me dropped the game in less than an hour. The pink girl and the furry girl look like an abomination in game.
>>340145405
>PSone took forever to make
You are thinking of Cless from Phantasia Productions, another group. IIRC Absolute Zero broke off from them for a bunch of reasons and released a patch 5 years earlier.
>>340145006
7th Dragon III if you're a piratefag.
>>340145414
Favorite JRPG, favorite music.

Gibe PC port pls I need to play this.
>>340145873
but there is one
http://www.emuparadise.me/Sony_Playstation_ISOs/Grandia_[NTSC-U]_[Disc1of2]/36963
>>340145939
They will probably announce a PC port for Grandia and Lunar at E3. Holding out until then.
>>340145718
Grandia's soundtrack was amazing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8btFiVOTA4U
>>340145681
Well shit. Now I don't know what to believe in. Still waiting on Rebirth as well. PSP or PS2. Either or.
>>340145006
In terms of actual gameplay quality and lack of actively bad features, the Etrians are phenomenal. Obviously they're not very plot based. Except for story mode which is lame. So your only romance is the love of Anon for well-designed dungeons.
>>340144607
for some reason combat and exploration in this game felt so tedious and drawn out. I played grandia 2 up to the second boss and it didn't feel like that at all but in 3 i was tired of it as soon as i hit the second dungeon
>>340146287
Well, you aren't exaclty wrong as it will take a good time to get done. But it won't be 12 years, for fuck's sake how can you take that long?
>>340145583
BoF III has so much padding though. It's very nearly the single worst offender in the genre of maximal padding.
>Final Fantasy 12 remake announced
huh
>>340136673
2 is fantastic, 1 is pretty decent not that you'd know because the horrid remake you played ain't it.
I'm not saying you should play 1 immediately, just accept that you made a big mistake playing a shitmake and maybe keep playing the real 1 in mind for some time in the future. Play Shining Force 2 next.
>>340145006
Persona Q, 7th Dragon III, Yokai Watch, if you're looking for somethin out of the ordinary try Crimson Shroud or the Inazuma Eleven games
>>340141157
At the item shop in very bloody town in the game.
Don't you feel dumb!

THIS IS NOT A DRILL
>>340135065
>people complaining about Abyss' characters because they're "jerks"
fucking hell, is there a bigger red flag regarding opinions on tales?
>>340146509
I don't even know if you can call it padding, the game has this weird atmosphere. Instead of focusing on the objective, the game was focused on the long journey to that place.
>>340136603
I've never played this but I fucking love the Soundtrack
>>340136772
I thought it was fantastic, perhaps the best game I don't want to replay. The pacing really doesn't work if you've already played it
>>340146701
FUCK YES
>>340138685
>antagonist is a crazy alien creature that people mistook for god
>>340146597
SFII is easily the worst game in an already subpar series.
>>340136145
Is this from the port?
Because i don't remember the game's ost being this hq.
>>340147303
Yes.
>>340147086
Zeon, go back to being sealed.
>>340141340
>when does it pick up
When you get 3 active party members
>>340147303
I don't think it's from the port considering the upload date. The Dreamcast version of the game came with a bonus music cd that had that song on it, so it could have come from that if it didn't sound as good in-game. I doubt the original PC port before the Steam version had higher quality music, but maybe it did.
How's Wild Arms 3 on PS4?
>>340147453
Darn you Bowie!Even thinking about the dialogue in this abomination of a game makes me mad. If you played this as a child, don't ruin your memories by playing it again.
