Heavy neutrino posted:Huh, does the game abandon the traditional 2D-ish gameplay style of the series or what? It plays like Graces except with the kamui system that lets you fuse your party together and you fight on the field screen instead of a dedicated battle screen.

Erg posted:Jarring isn't generally a positive way to describe something. I dunno, depends on context, I guess. I wasn't sure if he meant "garish" or "surprising" (i.e. "well, as bad as the game is, the graphics are surprisingly decent"). Anyway, I need a PSX RPG. Here's what I have with me right now: Brave Fencer Musashi Chrono Cross Final Fantasy 9 Final Fantasy Tactics Kartia: The Word of Fate The Legend of Dragoon Legend of Legaia Parasite Eve Persona Revelations Rhapsody A Musical Adventure Star Ocean II Suikoden Valkyrie Profile Wild Arms Xenogears If anyone wants to help me decide what to play, shout out one of the titles and I'll compile the first four unique ones into a list, then let a D4 make the final choice.

Final Fantasy 9 is super great, but since someone already said that I'll say Brave Fencer Musashi, which is worth it just for the awful food puns.

If this is a vote system I'm pretty sure I'm gonna lose but Xenogears. And if this is a "whoever gets my attention the most" system, XENOGEARS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSc59wy4aT4

1 - Final Fantasy 9 2 - Final Fantasy Tactics 3 - Xenogears 4 - Suikoden Let's see what the D4 decides. EDIT: 3. So, Xenogears.

The D4's word is law guys, sorry. But next time I do a dice throw, I'll just do it with FF9, FFT, Suikoden, and Musashi. Please don't kill me.

Brave Fencer Musashi, it's a great action RPG, certainly either best or second best (after Alundra) on PS1. Shame we never got a sequel. ....Shut up.

al-azad posted:Serious answer: Musashi. Yeah, I love FF9 but it's a really involved game. Musashi is like buying a premade cake at the supermarket: it isn't good for you, but you know you're really gonna enjoy it. Codiekitty posted:The D4's word is law guys, sorry. If I accepted the RNG's word as law, I never would've used Cheatengine with Borederlands 2, and that would've been a huge mistake.

Baby Babbeh posted:The first half of Xenogears is like 80 percent of Xenogears' gameplay I felt this statement was more or less correct, except XG's second disc is still like twenty hours long. Just, twenty hours of reading and watching text print at speeds ranging from "slow" to "excruciating."

Well, like I said, when (hopefully not "if", the second disc is going to have to suck something fierce for me to bail on it) I finish Xenogears I'll do another toss for those other four. EDIT: Actually, I'll just go straight to BFM after Xenogears (A) since it would have won if I'd stopped to read, and (B) as an apology for my not being able to read.

The funny thing about Xenogears Disk 2 is that, while it can be slow, it has several of the greatest moments in the game. One part in particular everyone I've ever met loves to pieces. I'm glad you're giving it a try,, XG is my favorite JRPG ever. If it fails to live up to your expectations, I do apologize because i know it isn't for everyone.

I'm still pissed that my Brave Fencer Musashi had a glitch that made it impossible to get past that part where you fight your rival, because it was a truly excellent game up until that point. Really fun mechanics and it doesn't take itself especially seriously, so it was VERY against type for PSX-era Square.

The second disc of Xenogears is my favorite part of Xenogears. It's the best part if you're into it for the story, as I was. I've gone back and replayed just the second disc before. Just be ready for it to be mostly text. I think it may help to consider Disc 1 the game of Xenogears and Disc 2 to be just a really nice 10 hour long ending. After Disc 1, the game is over. Disc 2 is your reward. The best RPG reward ever.

Yup, if you're into the story, then disc 2 is great because you get a lot of sweet plot dumped on your lap. That said, there are a lot of things I really wish we'd been able to see happen, such as (HUGE late game Xenogears spoilers)Bledavik being destroyed by Solaris's mobile weapon, actually visiting the Soylent facilities, actually fighting some of Krelian's human/machine hybrids, see whatever the hell happened to Jessie and Yui, having some battles with the angel enemies before you get the Xenogears, so you could see just how outclassed humanity was, and most importantly, see when and how Shevat got loving shot out of the sky (I mean, it was probably shot down by Merkava's cannon, but still).
