I'm getting that weird feeling to replay ffx, is the PS4 HD version satisfactory?

It had some bugs with RNG that I believe they patched out. It's not the best version (no speed-up function like the PC version IIRC) but it should be acceptable.

I really wish I could turn down that poo poo more often. I don't want the important heirloom that has been in your family for generations and you grandfather died to protest. I am going to sell it to a random dwarf for 3 coppers. Keep it. Please. I only did this for the intangible concept of experience points.

I wonder how many games there are with merchants that give out quests. Would be especially nice to just sell their worthless heirloom of +2 stealth right back to them for 1 silver and a bandage or something.

its great because you can also just let the lady get robbed like she wants, and it will come and bite you in the rear end later on during the trail.

You can yell at the merchant in Kid Icarus for a discount, or they get pissed at you and jack prices.

The castle was neat, the trial was awesome, but NWN2's whole first act is a waste of time. They could have cut it out completely and had your character grow up in Ember instead.

I like the PSP version and If you don't want to play it twice, yes. Otherwise, once no guide and once with a guide so you can get the proper ending is good.

This is incorrect.

The PS1 version in the US has some nice (if not strictly necessary) UI improvements and significantly better loading times. It is absolutely the version to play if you have an option.

Endorph
Jul 22, 2009

i never noticed the load times and, yeah, fair on the UI improvements, but I don't think they're a big enough deal to make them totally different or anything. IDK im mostly just thinking in terms of the PSP ports that were completely terrible (like fft) or added tons of new content/redrew every sprite.

Yeah, they're 90% identical. It's just that other 10% that tends to give the PS1 version the edge unless you really like kinda-nice (if dated) CGI cutscenes over lovely anime ones.

Also are there any issues with the PSP Phantom Brave?

Yeah, with the digital version there wasn't that much lag. I mean, depending on your memory stick the game might hang for a few seconds when queuing up big attacks, but yeah for however much moon money the digital version is fine. Aside from the bug that locks off the final equips from being synthed.

I think the main thing to worry about would be the price difference but it'd probably just be easier to emulate anyway.

Digital mana khemia is fine. You have to do the option of installing it in-game too even though it's already digital to make it fine.

You need to do the install if you want battle voices, even if you're using a digital version.

I guess this is a good place to ask. I'm trying at the PSnow PC streaming, and want to know: of the Atelier games on there, which is the best to try out. I have never played an Atelier game before. (Atelier Ayesha, Atelier Escha & Logy, Atelier Rorona I think are the choices).

Phantom Brave is a good game, but I can't imagine playing without the failure gimmick. Being able to beat people up with bread and grass is too fun.

Monsters in the original Disgaea are pretty much worse than similar humanoid classes at the same level across the board, so they're really only worth getting if you can throw one significantly above your party's level onto the base panel and successfully capture it. There are a couple of maps where it's easy to set yourself up to do this, and with a bit of time and a few tricks you can capture monsters with exponentially increasing levels each time you redo the map. Outside of that, they're generally mediocre. They do get better in later games.
