It had a lot of unwarranted hype in PSM and early gaming news sites because they read too much into MaxFive's tenuous connection to Quest and thus Tactics Ogre and FFT.

That's probably the only game I know of where I read an LP (Neutrino's) and said, "Oh, that's how you're supposed to play that game?" What an obtuse game. I used to have a thing for really niche SRPGs (Kartia for life~) but Hoshigami marked the end of that. It was all down hill from there.

Panic! at Nabisco posted:I always wanted to know how to play that dumb game, but I don't have archives and it's not up on baldurk's archive either. The LP was a product of its time, with little production values, toilet humor and a spectacular "gently caress I'm 90% done and I lost my save" ending.

Either cheat through the bullshit crafting or ignore it entirely. It isn't like you need it for anything but boring postgame stuff.

It had a special dual disc case made for it with the CD center holder removed because it was a single disc game. They just gave it multi disc case in order to make it look like the other large Square Enix and RPG games. The Taint Reaper fucked around with this message at 02:26 on Nov 30, 2014 |

What's more, the crafting success rate isn't fixed. Instead, it is based on something incredibly esoteric like average total stats or some poo poo so you might be able to raise it by a percentage or two if you do absolutely everything in the game.

As a total aside I somehow wound up with THQ Pacific's archive copy of Soul Nomad from when they distributed it for AU/NZ. It's just a sticker on the back of the box, but..kinda neat. Ish.

Just by progressing though the game normally a lot of my bars/ores went up from 90ish % to 100% so it at least has a more significant impact on the basic materials

Jim Barris posted:Enchanted Arms is the worst JRPG I have ever played. It's so lovely that even the people that made it realized it so they give you an option to auto-win every battle because the combat is such a boring mess. The protagonist has all the charisma of a dead dog and the supporting casts most interesting member is a gay stereotype. It's so bad. I curse the day I paid seven dollars for it.

According to metacritic, the only RPGs that predate Enchanted Arms was FF11 and Elder Scrolls.

I think he was sarcastic, I listen to it a second time and I just don't know why anyone would green light this. Why they couldn't go with something plain like this instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ac4wC0y6Wio

I actually kind of like the track but I will not defend it. At all. "playing at least two tracks at once" seems to be a good way to describe it.
