Chrono Trigger, Breath of Fire 2, Secret of Evermore.

>>340238445
>Secret of Evermore
As much as I loved the the world and goofy nature of the game, SD3 was better. When I was a kid, me and my best friend beat all of Secret of Mana together and it was disappointing as fuck that you couldn't coop on Secret of Evermore. I would have probably liked it better than Secret of Mana if it had coop.

There was one rpg for the Sega Genesis that I used to play that I can't for the life of me remember.

It was a turned based game and the battle screen was in something like first person where the enemies were in front of you. All I remember about the story is that one person (I think it was a woman) tells you that some monster is threatening the town, so you leave to kill it and when you come back it turns out that the person that sent you away was the bad guy and they fucked up the town.

SD3 has more and deeper content but plays like absolute shit. I have no idea how anyone can tolerate an ARPG that plays like molasses and has massive hit sponge bosses the way it does.

>>340247949
What exactly makes it a trainwreck? It's pretty tightly designed game.
>>
>>340248051
I highly recommend giving a earthbound a try, those who like it REALLY like it so when it does click with someone it's great. It's relatively simple but I actually love the simple combat, it's why dq/mother are my favorite jrpgs.
>>

>>340247949

All FF games are a massive trainwreck. FFVI is just 'less' of one. Ironic since it has a trainwreck as part of the plot.

FFVI has bad gameplay and flow. But compare it to something like FFIV. Which also has a completely laughable story and characters. And even worse gameplay.
>>
>>340248051

I would actually suggest playing the Dragon Quest series before playing Earthbound. One, because the creator of Mother wanted to make a Dragon Quest style game and two, because Earthbound can kind of own you if you don't understand some mechanics common to the Dragon Quest series.

Mother 2 (aka Earthbound) basically plays like Dragon Quest II. Not only in its combat but also its difficulty and vague NPC descriptions.
>>
>>340248421
>And even worse gameplay.
Confirmed for not paying attention. IV blows VI out of the water in terms of gameplay despite having a fraction of the mechanics because the design team actually cared enough to polish the game and make sure there was a difficulty curve.

Is Lufia 2 really that good? I bought the first game back when it came out from Funco (if anyone remembers that) and loved its simplicity, I even loved the stupid fact characters won't auto aim if that monster dies. I didn't know there was a 2nd one until years after, enjoyed it but got stuck on a puzzle and never came back to it.

The SNES version of FFIV we got in the west was dumbed down. It was so easy, a brain dead child could finish it just spamming attack.

The later DS version was much harder than the Japanese original. And is one of the few FF games that actually requires grinding. And I'm sorry, but randomly attacking an enemy until you find its weak spot, then resetting the game and exploiting that weak spot is not 'good game design'. And that whole final Lunar Dungeon is just stupid. The mob enemies are harder than the bosses. Three mages spamming Thundraga can destroy your team better than Zeromus can spamming Meteor and Black Hole.

FFIV is one of the worst designed combat engines in JRPGs. In before "its hard so that makes it deep" defense.

You don't need to grind outside of fighting the super bosses, just slow everything.

The only thing you might want to grind for is the CPU battle, and if it wants to kill you immediately it will. You can't stop it. So the grinding wouldn't help anyway

>Use status effects.
No shit sherlock. In one way, FFIV is good in that its one of the few games where status effects are necessary. But in another way, they went way too far with it. Bosses like the Dragons throwing bad breath at you every turn or random mob enemies using reverse reflect to hurt you, you obviously have to learn every little trick just to survive. Great for hardcore players, but the average FF fan is not a hardcore player.

>>340250182

>You don't need to grind outside of fighting the super bosses, just slow everything.
I don't see how you could get through the lunar dungeons without stopping to grind some. I was around level 45 when I got up there and even just basic enemies were dealing 1500 damage per hit + paralyze or poison. And That's not even considering the actual final dungeon where you hit a Behemoth or Dragon every battle.

I really don't see how a player can get through those areas without grinding unless they have perfect augments and never get a back attack.

Because levels in IVDS don't mean much until past 70 when you can jack up the stats. They didn't mean much in the original either. You just needed enough HP to survive enemy hits and a healthy supply of items. The moon starts off rough, but once you get the sealed gear it gets easier.

That's the point. You have to go through the entire final dungeon to get the gear that makes it 'tolerable'. That's poor game design. Same poor game design as the Temple of the Ancients in FFIII DS.

Terranigma is my favorite, I feel like nobody knows about it, but it's beautiful and compelling. More along the lines of Zelda than turn based combat, and you end up reviving the spirit of the entire planet one time period at the time, and your work starts to have a ripple effect, era by era, where you'll watch settlements turn to villages turn to cities, even into the future. Fucking amazing game, and the ending is even incredibly emotional and beautiful imo. Great fucking music and art too.

You play out a character in a narrative and you gain levels. It doesn't have to be turn based to be an rpg dummy.

>They didn't intend for the player to make it down on their first go which is why there's healing points on the outside. And a save point in the middle
In other words, grinding. Which grinding itself is not inherently bad. I'm one of the few people who play JRPGs for grinding. But come on. When you have to keep teleporting out of a dungeon to refresh mana and get more shurikens/hi potions/ethers because you're healing 3,000 HP after every battle, that's pretty damn grindy.

For the record, I beat that dungeon with my characters between level 65 and 70. And yes, once you hit that point, you go from struggling to survive to basically being overpowered. But that's also not good because then Zeromus becomes a push over. He's easier than the optional bosses you fought to get to him. See the problem?

Compared to what, and for what reasons? Have you even played it?
>>
>>340251861

SNES9x crashes a lot, but I've found it's better than ZSNES due to not having so many problems associated with it. There are so many games for ZSNES where you simply can't proceed for one reason or another. Or they're just unable to be played.

If you want to go really fucking accurate, you could try BSNES, but it's such a clusterfuck. I can only assume that if you're using ZSNES, you're looking for convenience, which this emulator lacks.

Grinding is intentionally farming levels without making progress. You leveling up and gathering gear then bolting out when you're out of resources is not grinding.

Having to learn things to progress is fine. But FFIV (hard) doesn't tell you what is needed. How are you suppose to know that using Steal on Rubacante will make him close his cloak? How are you even suppose to know Rubacante casts Inferno when his cloak is open? You don't figure these out until after it happens. In other words, if you happen to try stealing with Edge or after your entire party is wiped out by Infermo. And you're taken back to the last save from 40 minutes ago.

That's bad game design.

Maybe it's me but I've tried emulating twice this and it felt really choppy, is that how it typically is or just me? Illusion of gaia felt fine to me, played that on my snes however.

>>340252654
Or just don't lose to rubicant. I had no idea stealing from him makes him change cloak phases and I've played every version of ff4 multiple times.

>Grinding is intentionally farming levels without making progress.
Um, that's basically what you're doing for 20 levels on the moon. Until you reach that point where you have enough defense to get through the dungeon without having to heal or have enough HP to allow for Pray/Bless to let you break even on MP loss from healing.

Also, some people consider grinding to be any time they have to stop and level without progressing.
>>
>>340252601

Yeah, for PC at least, SNES9x crashes a lot. On my Wii, I had no problems. It was pretty much perfect. Try it out and see if you like it. BSNES is top tier, but just really fucking hard to use.
>>
>>340252836

>or just don't lose
Wow, what a great tip. So how do you not lose?

>and I've played every version of ff4 multiple times.
Oh right. You played the fight multiple times and found a pattern. That means you died to him the first time. So in other words, trial and error.
>>
>>340252895
>SNES9x crashes a lot
no it doesn't
>>
>>340253152

There were quite a few times where the emulator just crashed on me.
>>
>>340252837
I've never grinded 20 levels for the moon, and never intentionally grinded on the moon either. The levels gained from getting the gear tend to be more than enough and I don't consider that grinding because it's all making progress. If I was hanging out on the first floor fighting giants and the sluts sure, but I've never done that.

And some people consider any battles at all grinding, that doesn't make them right.

>>340252972
Use ice on him
Icebrand
Flame shield
He heals you to full before you fight

> That means you died to him the first time
I've never lost to rubicant in any version. He's piss easy on any of them that aren't the DS version and mitigating his inferno and Fira damage is all you need to do on DS. Cast slow on every boss, it works on every boss and immediately start buffing up and healing the initial damage you took then don't trigger his counter attacks when he cycles cloak.

I mean Edge usually doesn't survive it because he's just joined and has like 800 or 900 hp but that's fine.

>Use ice on him
Ice heals Rubacante when his cloak is closed. He casts Blizzaga on himself to heal himself. Ice attacks only work when his cloak is open. And if you let him leave his cloak open, he casts Inferno.

>I've never lost to rubicant in any version.
You had to lose at least once to learn that he is weak to Ice, since the game itself never tells you before the fight begins. That or you used a guide, n which case this argument is pointless. Any boss can be beaten the first time when using a guide.

How does this work in your brain anon? He's the fire lord. He's weak to ice, that's how FF works. I use ice on him, he takes 9999 damage I confirm he is weak to ice. Or I use scan/libra which tells you this shit.

You must be some sort of functioning retard if you think you can't try out shit and win in the same fight. For his cloak I always waited it out in every version

I've never played the SMT games and only bits of Persona games but they all seem to be way too alike to stay interesting.
>>
>>340253576

I haven't played many games on this one, but I have Mupen64 for Nintendo 64. For Genesis/Mega Drive, Fusion is top tier. For NES I recommend Nestopia. If you're looking to play a few Cave games without Mame's nazi policies impeding you, try EmuCR CaveUI. Other arcade games work well on Kawaks too.

For Gameboy Advance and Nintendo DS, use Visual Boy Advance and supplement it with N$gba. Best emulator for PS2, and I think it may be the only viable one, is PCSX2. It takes a little while to setup everything but once you do, it works pretty well assuming your PC is good. If you just have some toaster then I'd say forget it.

For PSP games, ppsspp works just fine. And this goes without saying, but Dolphin is your go-to emulator for Wii and Gamecube games. Have fun anon.

If you use Edge's Steal on Rubicante when his cloak is open he'll close it. Easy win and nobody will die.

Yes, with his cloak closed. He closes his cloak, use non-ice. Cloak is open, use ice. Did you know you can switch weapons in combat in most FFs prior to 7?

Yeah no problem man, glad I could help. If you plan on using aracde emus like Mame, be sure to look for stuff like parent roms, they're necessary. Bios too. Good luck and have fun.

And once again we're back to how you wouldn't have learned about the cloak without trial and error. Or reading a guide.
>>
>>340254946
My trial and error was when I was 8 or 9 playing it on snes where I still won because his damage is piss on any version thats not DS. Your point was that it was impossible to find out without dying once which is stupid as fuck.
>>
>>340255153

>on any version thats not DS.
And if someone played the DS version first, they'd be rolled by Inferno. Which was my point a dozen posts ago. Why did we have this stupid argument?

>>340255551
Because I dealt with inferno just fine without ever knowing the steal thing. Knowing how his cloak works is only going to save you from healing him a little bit. By the time you reach rubicant on DS you should be in the habit of slowing bosses and buffing yourself even if it's your first time on 4. Inferno won't ohko you after shell's up. I'm actually not sure if protect or shell affect it's damage but I assume so

I don't care for the RPG genre so the only other SNES one I played is Earthbound, but I don't consider it a good game for anything other than atmosphere.
>>
>>340255932

>Because I dealt with inferno just fine without ever knowing the steal thing.
On the SNES game, where they nerfed everything. Including Inferno. Where Inferno would kill your whole team on the DS and you have to avoid it, you could get hit by multiple Inferno on the easy mode SNES and still survive.
>>
>>340256648
I was referring to the DS version when saying I dealt with inferno.

Honestly knowing about the steal thing now makes the fight almost just like it was on snes but with more damage taken. What I did was the suicide route.

Almost all of the bosses on DS do something that fucks with you if you know their old habits from the past games, but by the time I got to rubicant I'd already figured that out. I just figured him spamming inferno was the new challenge. The DS bosses that really got me were Asura and Bahamut. Now they took multiple tries. CPU did too but that's just because of it opening with giant raw damage right out the gate so much

I'm not even arguing. That anon just doesn't seem to believe you can use basic logic and figure out a strategy on the first try for a fight
>>
>>340257238

Having to steal from a guy to make him close his cloak isn't basic logic. Nor is spamming ice on him when he heals himself with ice.

You played the SNES game first and learned his pattern. Then applied it to the DS game. That's fine. But that doesn't mean someone who played the DS game first would have done the same. They most likely would have learned the pattern by dying to Inferno or accidently healing him by casting Blizzara. Then not repeating the mistake the second time.
