FactsAreUseless posted:Another notorious enemy is the powerful "Shadow Man", a tall, dark figure that would unexpectedly emerge from the ground, accompanied by an ominous tune. Fighting this monster at an early point of the game meant certain death, which may cause confusion among new players. seriously, get this on an emulator so you can experience it in real time with the hosed up sound effects, it's a uniquely bizarre game

FactsAreUseless posted:It was also released as Dragon View. Dragon View is actually the sequel and it’s not nearly as lovely. Drakkhen is a truly insane game, I played a little bit at a friend’s house when I was a kid and had no idea what was going on. There was a speed run at RPG Limit Break a few years ago that’s pretty good

I owned and beat Drakkhen as a kid. If you wait at an inn through midnight you can avoid the extremely hosed up part where a constellation in the sky turns into a huge flying monster that shreds your party in no time. That game was terrifying and confusing.

FactsAreUseless posted:Some standout enemies are "enormous" and imposing such as the large, black, stationary canine heads that rise out of the ground and growls menacingly while shooting red energy bolts from its eyes in the event the player kicks the many urn-like markers found at some crossroads. These encounters are quickly fatal if the player's party does not run, or is not heavily armored.[4] They offer no experience points, suggesting that kicking an urn is frowned upon by the game. Another notorious enemy is the powerful "Shadow Man", a tall, dark figure that would unexpectedly emerge from the ground, accompanied by an ominous tune. Fighting this monster at an early point of the game meant certain death, which may cause confusion among new players. Lol awesome. What was the other weird first person Japanese SNES RPG (it was NOT a saga game) that was a first person open world turn-based RPG where you could choose from one of 7 or 8 characters at the start? I remember emulating it when I was in middle school and it was pretty cool, you could either team up with or fight against the other characters you didn't choose from and I think if you dicked around too long they could complete the main quest before you did and you'd get a game over . It almost certainly has a hardcore gaming 101 article about it and the name has the number of characters in the game so it's like "6 crystals " or "7 ages" or something

Kongming posted:I think you're thinking of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_7th_Saga This game's US localization made some minor tweaks to gameplay that buffs all the monsters which makes it super-hard to play for most of it, with a huge difficulty spike when you get to the point that one of the seven apprentices turns out to have betrayed you, but it gets almost impossible right at the end of the game, when you get the seven runes and the game reveals the twist. it's hard to beat even with an emulator, they broke it that badly.

dragon view has a glitch where if you don’t reset the game between the first boss and a late game event a memory address is set wrong and makes it attempt to run an event hundreds of times instead of one, usually crashing the game but extremely rarely going straight to the credits. speed runner PJ dedicated a week to attempting runs over and over until he got the credits glitch and the world record.

also: iirc, the game plot is that a king sends you to get the seven runes because he is old and dying, and he needs you to get them to defeat some bad guy. the twist is that when you get the seven runes, you get sent hundreds of years into the past and they take away all of the runes (which you learn to depend on for stuff like healing), and you try to beat the bad guy in the past, but only seal him away, then, after hundreds of years, you become the king from the beginning. that's the good ending. it's a really good and interesting game with mechanical problems right up until you get the 7th rune.

FactsAreUseless posted:7th Saga is actually playable. It's just weird and hard. it's super-not playable when you get to the end. the localization team totally hosed up and basically just stuck a multiplier in all of the game's numbers.

like, i beat both Drakhen and SNES Jurassic Park, but i lost patience with 7th Saga. my brother got so into it that he briefly joined SA as Doros (there's a town where everyone says "Hail Doros!"), but like, in what should be the last 5% of the game, the need to grind increases so exponentially that he hacked the ROM to level his characters so that he could see the ending. Seventh Saga is like in the Illusion of Gaia sphere of weird and awesome SNES RPGs, you just unfortunately can't be expected to finish it.
