it's a game directed by a guy who wrote a bunch of famously weird playstation rpgs (linda cube, ore no shikabane, abarenbou princess) and iirc according to an interview the way the game got made is that he came up with the idea and tried pitching it to a bunch of studios and nobody would pick it up so he got depressed and put it on his blog with a note saying "please someone let me make this game" and then like years later a studio contacted him about it really glad it's finally gotten localized and rereleased

No perma-death or anything like that. The difficulty spikes really come when you encounter a boss you're not really geared for. This can happen if you get bad rolls when using gems at circles so sometimes you're forced to grind them a bit for competitive gear. Oh, cool. Since these types of RPGs are my relaxing maintenance gaming, that whole gameplay loop is definitely my jam, including grinding out some advantage. And yeah. I remember trying to play Class of Heroes.

i wish there was an english translation of crime crackers 1 or 2, the ps1 real-time dungeon crawling fps games where you switch between three to four characters who have different guns and it's made by the same dev studio as wild arms so they just put moor gault in them as an item. or heavy metal thunder, the media.vision ps2 heavy metal-themed rpg where you play as a guy going on a 30-year-long journey participating in underground robot arena battles on a remote island so he can one day kill his dad and by the end of the game the protag is like in his 50s or something

The 7th Guest posted:yeah i was casting them. had the little colored circles around me. still had monsters come at me. the effects don't last that long even at lvl 3 either i guess i used them to gring jewels because, yknow. i actually kept a stealth mule around for most of the game, the weird guy from the frontier. walter? milton? waldo? i forget. eventually i replaced him with captain silver. whose first name is apparently Captain so when you're using it to grind, lv3 feels like it lasts for EVER lol

You bring up niche untranslated games often enough that giving learning Japanese a shot seems like it could be a worthwhile endeavor for you, takes time but it's pretty fun once you get in the groove of it.

Kild posted:I don't remember it failing. Levels only affect the duration with each level adding 4 seconds to its base 4 second duration. I think also there is one type of enemy who can see through both move silent and lurk, and every other enemy type is divided up into sound-detecting, which are fooled by move silent but not lurk, and movement-detecting, which are the other way around. This becomes a good way of conserving skill usage if you're just trying to get past one type since you don't have to fire off both skills, but since you can't trigger them both at the same time one will always wear off a little before the other and potentially leave you exposed depending on how close you are to the wrong type.

Morpheus posted:This seems like a really cool premise, but I'm concerned it'd trigger my existential dread something fierce. Also that it could be depressing. What's the tone like? Maybe a little depressing? But not much. The hero actually died fighting the final boss and everyone in the world knows what's up with his brief return (there's literally a notice posted in every single town) plus it seems like a little bit of time has passed since the end of the war so there aren't any tearful reveals happening. It's pretty flippant about it, since it's all about repeating the 5 days over and over because there's no way to do everything in just one go around. lets hang out fucked around with this message at 16:36 on Feb 27, 2020 |

The game also tries to explore what happens after a JRPG bad guy is gone. Everything didn't magically become better, there's economic instability, tension between people/races now that their common enemy is gone, and so on. Although this is mainly represented by dealing with the problems of 8 other heroines. Still, it's an all around pretty neat idea and I'm glad I heard about the dev's backstory.

Visiting the places that were hit hardest in the war and hearing about their struggle to get support from the king in his pristine castle all the way over on the opposite end of the kingdom is more depressing than the hero's situation yeah

The biggest issue is it doesn't feel thoughtfully difficult, just tedious. Like where I quit I have no feeling that Im not prepared to continue on, just that I dont really care to because this core loop of padding will not only continue but grow worse as the games stand in for a difficulty curve

i've actually only beaten a few FF games in my life FF6 FF7 FF12 FF13-2 FF13-3 games wehre i got to the final boss and said gently caress it FFX FF13 i had been thinking about getting FF5 but the only legally available versions are PS1, and Mobile/PC. so the one has the better visual style but lots of load times, and the other has no load times but the bizarre mismatch of art assets and bad tiling (plus mobile UI which they have not adjusted at all for PC) i'm not interested in FF8 or FF9 because i'm a loving snob who hates the 15fps battles and that speeding up battles speeds up everything

I totally sympathise with the 15fps issue, I tried to play Xenogear recently and got almost to disk 2 before giving up because of the lovely framerate.
