Golden Sun was only popular because it was the only JRPG the GBA had for about a year, and that was only because Square was tied to making games for the Wonderswan Color in Japan at the time.

Golden Sun is the most generic JRPG out there and there's zero reason to play it. It sucked in 2001 and it sucks now.

It isn't. It's a JRPG designed for beginners, but that was arrogance on Square's part since Western RPG gamers were already used to games that were far more sophisticated than regular Final Fantasies.

Golden Sun is babby's first JRPG because it was designed for a system for children that had little to play aside from F-Zero in 2001. F-Zero: Maximum Velocity is far more worthwhile of a game than Golden Sun.

Yes there fucking is.

I crossed out only the games that are without a shadow of a doubt ports.

I really wanted to cross out N+, the GTA games and all the other low effort barely not ports but held myself back.

Then on top of that we have a bunch of games that are dubious shat-out "sequels" or "___ - but portable!" like the ace combat X games.

Yeah but you clearly haven't touched half of these games. Some of the 'remakes' are so far remade to the point that it's not even the same game anymore.

Megaman Powered Up, in particular. No one plays that for the single run through of "classic". It's all about playing through the game with the other robot masters, making your own stages, trading your own stages, etc.

I wouldn't buy a PSX to play Castlevania Chronicles, but I *did* buy a PSP to play Castlevania the Dracula X Chronicles.

I did. It's literally the only 2.5D version of Rondo, let alone non-butchered version of the game (I'm looking at you, Vampire's Kiss).

Not to mention it has the original PC Engine version, and Peke.

The Symphony of the Night portion is debatable. It's an entirely different version. It's got the Japanese familiars that we didn't get in NA, and playable Maria like the Saturn version, but she's got an entirely different moveset than she did in Saturn. She's also a boss fight.

The only drawback of the PSP SotN is the new voice acting. Everyone wanted the "What is a man" memes.

So yeah, fuck you.

Yes? You can just mash a and normal battles end in less than 10 seconds, you can even skip battle animations. There's no ''waiting bar'' like in say, FF6. You can also prepare yourself pre-battle by setting up your djinns to have your summons ready and unleash crazy powerful attacks, which like I said can be skipped.

Second gen PSP has no flaws and only a retard would waste his time with UMD.

PSP + big memory stick + CFW = virtually no load times.

And there's a fuck ton of good games out there, especially after the ease of piracy and emulation sparked interest in fanslations and undubs.

It's basically a high powered weeb/RPG machine with great GBA, Sega/MD and PSX emulation.

Nowhere near as much as Nintendo systems, the PS1-3 recommended games wiki has way more games. PS1 also had better versions of multiplats like Megaman Legends and Resident Evil 2.

Even in Hard he can curbstomp the whole game besides I think the final boss, who I beat with an Eliwood that I BARELY TRAINED.

Especially in those retarded in-house maps that people love for some reason even though they all have tight one-unit-thick corridors where you can put your OP unit (in this case Hector, Lyn, Dart etc.) and watch the enemy units commit suicide one by one.

Same with the other GBA Fire Emblems, I beat FE6 with the green haired nomad girl and fucking everyone can solo FE8, even Seth who's supposed to be the chapter 1 paladin that would never get much stronger in any other FE but he does anyway and is still OP by the end of the game, but I used Tana in my playthrough and she also becomes unstoppable after getting the anti-arrow shield.

God those games are overrated.

Also I'm not saying that it's bad because it's easy, Mario 3 is easy but it's still a good game. The thing is that with Fire Emblem, all sense of skill and strategy go out the window once you find out the overpowered units and then you don't have to do anything other than let your units curbstomp the game on their own. It's like if in Mario you found an item that removed all enemies and obstacles for the rest of the game and all you had to do was just run to the goal in each level.

It's because of people like you that say dumb shit like that.

Golden Sun fanboys are the most obnoxious fucking shitposters. I can't wait until /vr/ rolls the limit up to 2001 instead of 1999 so they'll all be banished there and circlejerk in the same thread every day like the Earthbound and Chrono Trigger retards.

I'm not even that guy, and I have no desire to "discredit" you, because there's no credit to be have.

25 games is not a lot. Not by any standard, and certainly not on a fucking video games board on a Malaysian pottery website where people are unemployed NEETs who spend thousands of hours playing video games.

25? Fuck off. Most people here have probably tanked over 250 RPGs alone. It wouldn't even take me half a year to play through those games.

God forbid they like a game you don't, how blood-boiling!

>/vr/
>banishing anything
You do know that you can still talk about old games here? Including Pokemon and games that have their own generals on /vg/? The sub boards aren't made to forbid their game discussion on /v/, only to limit it. It's why /v/ still has tons of Pokemon threads, Souls/Bloodborne threads and old game threads like Doom.
>>
>>345166201
>RPGs
We're talking JRPGs though, most of which are considered hot garbage because of how samey they feel and how painful and monotonous the constant regular battles are since most of them don't have a way to skip most of it.

What else do you want me to play? Persona? Pokemon? Neptunia?

>>
>>345166214
You don't quite understand how containment boards work.

While it's true that you'll still have the odd thread about old games, the fact that a board for that specifically draws away the most virulent of the shitposters. Barring Pokemon Go's recent release, there's virtually never a Pokemon thread on /v/. And the same for Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, etc. All of the people that actually want to suck each other's dicks about the game are drawn to the containment board where they can throw shit at each other and wax nostalgic about it.

It effectively destroys any interest on the main board. /vp/ was one of the best things to happen to both /a/ and /v/ simultaneously.

The last things to make /v/ better is getting rid of e-celeb cancer and rolling up the "retro" bracket in /vr/.

Sounds like you don't, considering you claimed that GS discussion would be ''banished'' to /vr/ even though /v/ still has tons of threads about supposedly ''banished'' games like Pokemon.
>Barring Pokemon Go's recent release, there's virtually never a Pokemon thread on /v/
Pffthahaha, there's Pokemon threads on /v/ most of the time because of the new updates on S/M or just regular pokegirl threads. And why are you not counting Pokemon Go? If anything that's the thing that counts the most.

Earthbound gets mentioned a lot too.
>>
>>345166451
While I certainly wouldn't say that you don't get to have an opinion on the genre because you've "only" played 25 games in it, I hope you aren't under the impression that you've come anywhere close to playing everything worthwhile.

Most games in every genre are garbage, but there are still a lot of good ones.
>>
>>345166981
You're in rank denial at this point, my friend. There's virtually never Pokemon threads on /v/ outside of Pokemon Go.

>>345166841
Why are you incluing SRPGs and dungeon crawlers? Want me to include those? Alright, here's more, also a few regular JRPGs that you reminded me of:

Star Ocean 1, Tales of Phantasia, every single Fire Emblem besides 1 and 2, Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis, every Dragon Quest on the SNES including the reamkes, Breath of Fire 2, Summon Knight Swordcraft Story 1 and 2, Etrian Odyssey 2, 3, 4 and Untold, Pokemon gens 1-5, Earthbound, Mother 3, Terranigma. Does Advance Wars and Souls games count? If so all of those too.

I've missed some of the PS1 classics like Wild Arms and Grandia.

Don't respond to that guy. He's just shitting up the thread while stroking his elitism cock. 25 games alone is enough to justify talking about the genre.

I literally just came from a pokegirl thread, want me to link you the archive? There's also threads about how shitty the latest revealed pokemons are like that black/pink bear thing or how a move now says if it's super effective before you use it in battle.
>Gee, I wonder.
No honey, you don't get to discard them simply because you say so.

Also I don't get why are you even arguing, I myself said those sub boards limit discussion on /v/ of their games, it was in response to someone claiming that GS discussion would be banished even though it's talked less than Pokemon (/vp/) or Souls games (/vg/) or Doom (/vr/).

Pokemon Go brought all the pokemon faggots from the woodwork. It literally doesn't count and that's why everyone dismisses it. If you look at the archives for the past few months, you'll see maybe one to two pokemon threads and even then, those ones were talking about Pokemon Go coming out soon.

You're a fucking moron if you think "Pokemon girl" threads have any place on /v/.

Was really a great little system. Admittedly, the SP was the most important mid-cycle refresh for a handheld--and possible console---of all time. The backlight and small form factor really made the GBA a handheld force to be reckoned with.

Great game library to boot. I will always have the fondest memories of Super Dodgeball Advance and the first two Advance Wars until I die.
>>

I really liked Golden Sun upon release but I haven't touched it in the decade and change since. So--proceed with caution.

Or just emulate it to see if it captures your interest and go from there.

Honey, the point here is that something tht should be on /vp/ is being discussed on /v/. Are you really that desperate to discard it because ''they shouldn't count because they're for faggots!'', listen to yourself.
>You're a fucking moron if you think "Pokemon girl" threads have any place on /v/.
Yet we have them so much, I can't even count how many times I've posted Sabrina pics (literally, because there's a huge time gap between both /v/ archive sites that seems lost forever).

Spamming Djinn Storm is not interesting.

Also, it's not as fast paced as it could be since attacks target dead enemies. You could kill one enemy with one character but if every other character were attacking that same enemy that turn, all of their attacks would be wasted.

Different times. Back in 2002 portable emulation was a twinkle in the eyes of the emulation scene. Smart phones were just begin their conception and most of /v/ was barely two years old.

We were more tolerated of mixed quality ports if that meant we could play Donkey Kong Country on the go. Those ports were light years ahead of the Genesis-Game Gear and NES/SNES-GBC translations and are very much playable--even in their uncorrected retail releases.

Time and place, kid.

what.

You don't even have that move, Dullahan and Doom Dragon do. Also most normal battles can be finished almost instantly with just attacking with either the regular attack or the summons, if you pre-prepared them.
>Also, it's not as fast paced as it could be since attacks target dead enemies
That is indeed a flaw, however even then it's still way faster than most jrpgs that make you wait and don't let you skip battle animations, like FF6, mind you that I still like FF6 more overall but GS' dungeons are way more interesting because of all the psynergy puzzles.

Only ponyshit is the exception, since it's basically a branch of the ''NO FURRY ALLOWED ANYWHERE BUT /b/, /s4s/ AND /trash/'' global rule.

While the general threads themselves aren't allowed here, the games involving those generals can still be discussed here, which is what matters.
