it’s great. they upscaled the backgrounds but kept the original sprites (unlike the saga frontier remaster) and you can chose either orchestral arrangements or the original soundtrack. can’t wait to see my friend basket fish

i can't wait to help a fat rabbit man scam people. i can't wait to help a centaur get rejected by every lady in the world. i'm hype as hell to help the magical gem jews of the world. gently caress do i love legend of mana.

is this a remaster or port. legend of mana is kind of all rough edges even though i love it.

Remaster. Backgrounds and portraits upscaled, orchestral sound track, some modern QOL changes (save anywhere). Couldn't find anything about gameplay changes.

honestly the first 'breathtaking' game i played. gorgeous design, super thoughtful worldbuilding. it's one of a kind.

only real gameplay change apart from save anywhere is tht you can turn off random encounters. they said that s specifically to make the running around maps trying to find an npc parts better

Can you access the memory card pets in this legend of mama remaster? Like if you had a FF8 save you could get a chocobo I’m p sure

also a good change, lot of legwork in this game and the combat is pretty charmless compared to literally every other aspect of the game.

big deal

The area after that is insanely hype. I love poo poo like that & it's one of the reasons I liked the first game so much. I had to pry myself away to start Mario Golf last night lol

The best part of beating an rpg is afterwards when you watch the speedrun. Suikoden 2 was tight but broken as gently caress. Might load up that last save file again just to enjoy the world and play all the mini games.
Also: badass dude, wish i had a cool av like that

I just got to the part where ragou gets killed by yuri in tales of vesperia. This is still fairly early in the game yea?


I’m considering picking up the new disgaea game, wanted some thoughts on that. I bounced off the first one twice (at release on ps2 and years later on DS) because the combat wasn’t that interesting or tactical compared to like FFT or FE, curious how the series as grown since then
