As much as I like the Souls games and the genre it created, I kind of want to live in the world where 3D Dot Game Hero was the surprise hit that made From a powerhouse.

yeah, i don't really care for that pixelated sprites and textures plastered onto live 3D models aesthetic. i think it would look a lot better if everything was old style sprites at roughly a PS1 definition, but i feel this way about basically all of SE's small scale rpg projects.

I wouldn't say any of them are bad, but if you're gonna start out I would say go with saga frontier 1, romancing saga 2 and 3, and maybe check out the game boy games (idk if the DS ports for those ever got translated or not)

the remake of saga 1 on the wonderswan has a decent fan translation, it's short and there are some cool scenes if you're up for a somewhat disjointed, goofy 90s jrpg

they did, but from what i played the fan tl for saga 2 ds is a bit uneven in quality and it's much grindier than the original, i fought a fair number of enemies when i played it but it barely gave me any stat increases at all. saga 3 is a different group so the tl might be better but i've heard mixed stuff about the game itself

all saga games are brutal. i think romancing saga on the ps2 is probably the most accessible but it will still jam a lead pipe up your rear end whether you like it or not

does the saga 3 remake keep the traditional rpg leveling system like FFL3 or do they retool it to be in line with the rest of its namesake series?

maybe because the butler guy is 2x as big as the other enemy humanoids. you dont often see this kind of thing where they're all framed in a human room like that with many objects of varying contextually coherent sizes

also theres a solar eclipse happening outside but the lamps are still on

Thank you for the advice everyone, I decided to try Romancing SaGa 2 since it's on switch.

I'm glad the switch inherited the vita's legacy and is getting some rad rpgs. Though the true proof that it's the successor to the vita was when I saw nekopara got added to the eshop.

Romancing saga 2 was my first saga game and it was good as hell :cheers:

I reinstalled the Mega Edition of FF15 yet again and I swear to god this time I'm gonna make it past chapter 3.

It's so weird because I love the game but it takes up like 100 gigabytes now so anytime we get new stuff it's the first thing on the chopping block.

This month's free PS+ games SUCK

Pretty excited for it! I've just recently dipped into my stock of Twitch games in lieu of getting more stuff off Steam and such. They've made a pretty good effort in the past few months.

So I've previously finished Pillars and am aware of Metal Slug, Last Blade, Battle Chef, Tacoma, Brutal Legend, Tyranny and Broken Age. What else is worthwhile on this?

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
Odin Sphere also does this thing with the Playable Characters and the Bosses having wildly different scales but with the Vanillaware design in mind





Your characters already have somewhat exaggerated features, but then you get to the ones you have to face and it just goes wild
