som's combat is really tedious which is impressive for a zelda style game all you have to do is press a button to attack fortunately square mixed things up by ading cool down timers to the button and making you have to hold the button for 30 seconds instead of just tapping it

I played SoM for half an hour or so and it was really charming but the gameplay felt bad and boring. Does it get better?

i just played through a SOM hack that adds a block button. it makes the combat pretty amazing. too bad the magic system still really sucks (despite being pretty)Lunchmeat Larry posted:I played SoM for half an hour or so and it was really charming but the gameplay felt bad and boring. Does it get better? ehh, not really. these days its mostly rose tinted glasses. it was a game of great potential rather than execution

som really had a lot going for it if they had stuck with their not-turned based approach. the combat is simple but would be a good platform to build on to, especially as a CO-OP game but then they jam fisted a turn based magic system into it. this wasn't from it being rushed either. they go all in on this dumb magic system for seiken densetsu 3 (which translated to english comes out to, roughly, A Real Bad Game) look i am still bitter about this over 20 years later

SD3 is real bad. you move so slow in combat you that you can't avoid your enemies. spells don't just stop the the caster and target (like in SOM), but the whole drat game and you and enemies both will be spamming the poo poo out of spells and abilities towards the end. the dungeon designs are really horrid and sprawling, with all the rooms looking the very much the same. the last third of the game is a real slog it is really pretty tho, and an official Woolsey translation would make it Nebalebadingdong fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Nov 1, 2016 |

I played secret of mana on Wii VC for a hour or two and reached the boss of the first level and it insta wiped me because I had never seen its attack animations before and there was no save point in the dungeon so once I realized I had to play it all again I stopped playing it

i can't believe how powerful the calculator is in fft. especially on maps where your squad all starts on the same height. buff the poo poo out of them and then just roll over everyone. now that i have all the skills and switched back to a mage the speed boost just breaks it.

SD3 ends up as an FF game in som clothing. its got FF6's earthy palette that looks quite excellent, but gameplay wise its a clunky bastardization. and its full of exposition. (the fan translation is not bad tho, god bless them)  som's spirit lives on in square's best game. several of the developers admitted that many of the ideas that got cut from som found a home here, and i think it shows. its highly animated, the dialogue is hilarious and characterful, and exposition is kept to a minimum  (goddamn, do i love ted woolsey)

I've also read that combat has been improved from the demo to the point where the demo doesn't even reflect the final product, which is a great way to make a demo!
