I'm going to play through this game soon, anything I should know beforehand? I've heard you need to grind for weapons or something like that, is there anything I can do to get around that?
>>341679551
It's the epitome of shit localization.
Also when I replayed it not even a month ago, it feels like the whole story is about the prince getting cucked by MC. Thanks /v/
>>341678780
fuck you
i thought you were cool until you shilled MN9
faggot
Yep, played it.
Didn't finish it tho
>>341679980
Shilled? Nigga I wake up every morning in a cold sweat on the fact that I backed it. If I could take it back, I would.
>>341679551
You absolutely do not need to grind and the game actually prevents you from grinding.
Also play the undub. I LOVE dubs but even I couldn't bare this shit.
>>341680174
you backed in the past
you supported it and told people to support in the past
I USED to like you in the past even if people told you to "shut the fuck up"
Not anymore
>>341680350
We were all fooled. You can't blame anyone for that really. At least most of us realized our fatal mistake.

>>341678674
I absolutely loved this game. However, this love does not extend to the fucking atrocious dub.
>>341679551
As the others have said, play the undub. You'll be glad you did.
>>341680504
all right, hindsight is 20/20, especially when I say that they had nothing to show but concept art which showed how obviously the whole thing smelled
I loved everything about this game,except the dub ofc.
The game actually explained everything you should know but throws you in a hell mode run so you better do your best,
Should they remake this game I would buy it. (again)

If you walk into a seemingly random battle and hear this battle theme play, I hope you prepared your anus

One of the five, reporting in.
Played it to completion during a year when I was bumming at a mate's flat and downloaded the near entirety of the wii's catalog onto a backup loader for modded wii.
>>341682025
Yeah. Better get up off your chair and focus. It's about to go down.
>There is no doubt about it, Arc Rise Fantasia wants to be a hardcore JRPG. In many aspects it achieves this, but before fans go rushing to buy it they have to ask themselves: just how much grind is too much grind? If killing the same weak enemies over and over for innumerable hours before any story progression is made doesn't deter you, then by all means buy Arc Rise Fantasia.
>the enjoyment you'll derive from Arc Rise Fantasia will likely be tied to how much you like combat, since the story certainly isn't anything worthwhile.
>When the reward for beating the next boss is just more bland gameplay, it just isn't worth the effort.
Does this accurately convey what I should expect from ARF?
>>341682484
>>341682025
I thought you could see random battles on the map and could run from them?
>>341682762
>Does this accurately convey what I should expect from ARF?
Not in the slightest. Especially the part about grinding. How the fuck did that person play the game? And the story is awesome.
>>341679931
>it feels like the whole story is about the prince getting cucked by MC.
I honestly really liked that Alf was somewhat realistic in his depiction as a beta cuck whiteknight faggot.
>>341682762
>Does this accurately convey what I should expect from ARF?
I played not too long ago and I don't remember having to grind besides for like two battles.The balance does get rather screwy near the end, though. I had to cheat to get past one of the final dungeons.
>>341678674
got this for christmas when it was 14 along with sonic colors. never beat it to completion but it does have the honor of being my first real JRPG modern JRPG cuz up to that point I had only played emulators and kiddie shit like M&L/Pokemon
>>341683224
Quite the contrary, once you get the hang of magic and sync magic the game becomes a cake walk.

Why are you people giving him attention? We are all anonymous. Tripfaggots don't even matter. Next you'll be giving mad respect to REDS ffs
>>341678674
>tfw I'm one of the 5 people that actually pre-ordered this game.
I even got that animation cell thingy they included with it.
>>341678674
I played it for like five hours and fucking hated it
Only game I've ever played where I couldn't stand the voice acting in EITHER language option
>>341683785
Woah, something just clicked in my brain after seeing this image...hmmmm
>>341680572
I'll see to that and raise you a Yggdra Union.
>>341683912
Bro the JP VAs were goddamn pro.
>>341684124
They were squeaky voiced faggots
>>341684095
Emulated that. Holy fuck, is the GBA version hard. Even following a turn-by-turn guide does not guarantee your safety
When first girl is best girl, there just isn't enough girls in it.
>>341683912
I can understand hating Ryfia (she a shit and L'Arc has no taste) but what's wrong with the everyone else?
>>341684496
>Hating Ryfia
I think my heart skipped a beat at this scene
>>341684176
I don't think anyone had a squeaky voice at all. The only one who comes close is Cecilia and she's a lil girl.

>>341685217
Oh please, winners know that best girl is actuallyCecille.
>>341684910
Ryfia's alright. She has a great party chat conversation with Adele, before shit went down.
>Ryfia, what would you do if one day you woke up to realize you were really stupid?
>>341685362
She was also god tier so I can't even hate on that.
>>341678674
Was this game any good? Was there a prequel on GC?

My gf loves this game. Probably cause she has OCD

>>341684095
Hasn't everyone played this?
It's one of those cliche "le hidden gems" on the gba.
>>341688795
Please don't pretend to be retarded.
Yggdra Union is relatively popular on /v/. The PSP version is commonly recommended over the GBA version. Note that you need to download a save file for the PSP version if you don't want to play on easy mode.
i would actually yell wake up like they did on the commercials ....
>>341691412
I always wondered why Disney pumped this out.
Did they have a show or something that went along with it? Seems like a weird project for them.
This is still in my backlog. I really like the Gainer/Eureka 7 artist so it's a must for me to play.
Right here familia
>>341679551
you're gonna have your ass kicked by the bosses
a lot
>>341691589
They had a webseries and 2 sequels (one for the DS and one for the Wii)
Grindfest: the Game
It's actually the game I have in my Wii right now.
>>341691589
They had an online mini series to promote the series on there website.
>>341691838
>>341691975
Yeah but... why?
Does Disney normally make unlicensed games?
>>341678674
A shame that Adele turned out to be batshit insane
Maybe two other people played it.
>>341692708
I remember renting it from Blockbuster because, "Hey its a Yugioh game! I love Yugioh."
I had no Idea what was going on the second I got in the game since I tend to skip text when I was younger.
It's okay for a vita dungeon crawler.
Difficulty is like a roller coaster but I think I got a handle on it now since the three chosen ones have united

>tfw i have arc rise fantasia and baten kaitos edited undub iso's
>the links on every site where they were hosted are now dead
>these iso's are fairly rare and tfw i have them backed up so the world can still have them in the future
feels great
>>341678780
Maybe they should have spent more time making good games instead of shit like Time & Eternity
>>341680572
Usually I eat up those waifu simulators as if they were candy, but this was nothing special.
I know people here likely emulated OG Gaiden
but did anyone have the balls to play the card game?
>>341693593
...so what are you going to do with them?
>>341692708
Walking around with my card-monsters, hello yeah

>>341693593
Have you uploaded them anywhere?
>>341694941
search the archive, this might help
>>341681523
>>341694081
>>341694941
havent uploaded em but i do have them sitting on a hard drive, i could if anyone wanted them
>>341695373
I'd rec Arc Rise but I can't play anime games anymore.
Worth getting out there though. I have a hard time finding Wii iso's online for some reason.

Grinding as a necessity isn't all that prevalent in the game; but there were certain spots where my characters were just way too weak to survive even a few attacks, and I benefited from at least a little bit of grinding. The battle against Alfonse and his team for example, was one in which it was basically impossible for me to survive unless I pushed my characters up a level or 2.
Other than that, it's not something that you should be concerned about.
>>341683534
Opposite for me. Random battles started off way too easy, and then enemies got really fucking powerful and started wrecking my shit later on. Bosses seemed to have a consistent level of difficulty though.
>>341693687
I like it
>>341695373
Do it man, upload them for the greater good.
>>341694392
ARF is probably one of the worst offenders as far as this trope goes.
>>341684176
You're a squeaky voiced faggot. I bet you're gay
>>341678674
If they just made ARF a glorified boss rush it would be 10x better

>In my original idea, Operation Darkness was set to be a trilogy, using WWII as the starting point. The first game was to be WWII, the second game the proxy war between East and West during the 1960s to 1970s Cold War era, and the third game to be the modern day war against terrorism.
I wish they went through with it. As flawed as OD was I think that it was a fun premise.
>>341697394
>>341698710
I hope they port it to PC or something like that, I'm not buying a 360 just for that and NG2.
>>341691412
I loved the fucking knife fossil, always had it on my team
Then my faggot brother took it one day and lost my cartridge
