It's just the one spell thankfully and turns out it isn't even that good And as just said 1 is so easy even if it was good it'd be entirely pointless lol

And unless the remaster has been patched since, it still has a terrible upscaling smoothing filter built into the sprites so it looks absolutely awful, IIRC.

The glitched spell in Grandia 1 is bad. Like its got the nichest of possible uses but in any scenario where you're using it something has gone so horrifically wrong for how easy Grandia is you've made a real mistake. I did find it amusing Grandia 1's optional hard mode dungeon closes well before the end of the game so if you want to do that content you gotta do it way earlier than you might expect and while by end game you'd trounce it it is a bit of a challenge when you can do it.

They have since patched it to remove the few original sprites and animation frames that slipped through and replace them with the smoothed ones.

the grandia remaster is the perfect example of how sometimes you should just. let people decide if they want the game to look like a low rex pixelly psx game. or hell a saturn game... you might as well play the saturn version with the patch that imports the psx tl cause the tl itself is competent and the saturn version is a bit nicer looking than the original

Commander Keene posted:Oh yeah, didn't the remaster have stuff like sprites where half the sprite was smoothed and the other half wasn't at launch? Really the laziest possible remaster. Just putting up the PSX version in an emulator would probably be better than what they did there. I have probably a dozen photos on my switch of these mistakes. A lot are kind of goofy in between animations where one frame is missing but two are just amusingly glaring. 1 is a boss comprised of two sprites where one is smoothed and one isn't so they look extra ugly The other is literally just flat out sue's sleeping sprite. You know a thing used throughout the game in long unchanging shots and is glaringly obvious instantly

apropos of nothing wasn't the Grandia port the one which had the German localization which translated "miss" (as in, the opposite of "hit") as 'Fraulein"

Congrats. Your reward is doing that dungeon 2(3?) more times. Also this will sound insane but if you start exploring in that dungeon and you stop seeing red shards stop progressing. Its got some very tricky platforming that is just dead ends unless you've triggered the companion sidequest.

lol in indivisible they never removed yan (the cobra lady's) sound and animation for teaching you something. apparently you learn her move later from another npc (but they left the breakable wall for the move in the room her cage was in)

I'm at a point in NEO Twewy where it feels like fights take a lot longer than they should. Might be because I'm not eating enough to raise my attack, but eating is so expensive and takes so long to get hungry again, especially in contrast to the original game where you'd just eat a chili dog for a few hundred yen, fight a few battles, and be good to go. That or I'm not using an optimal pin setup but dang it I've got pins to master.

I feel like the thing that i actually really appreciate about VP is the writing and unique storytelling, not the combat and platforming. And the part everyone chooses to crib is of course the gameplay. Not to say VP isn't fun to play, because it is, but i don't think I've ever seen another game do what they did writing-wise which is a huge shame.

Fantasian's second half releases on iOS this Friday. The game is not incredible (I actually think it's the most generic of Mistwalker's portfolio) but it's perfectly playable and I still love the hand-crafted aesthetic of it. monster hunter stories was also added to apple arcade but Capcom was too lazy to change anything about it so it has no controller support lol e: reading on Fantasian's second half: quote:Part 2 of Fantasian is, per the studio's announcement, more "quest-driven" than its very story-heavy first half. Mistwalker expects it to take players between 40 to 60 hours to fully experience, with Part 2 being approximately double the size of the first half. New features include the ability to swap party members in and out of battle and an expanded character Growth Map. The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 18:20 on Aug 9, 2021 |

While the former is probably part of it I'd say the latter is the big issue. You should be using new and powerful pins pretty constantly that in my experience was the best way to get stronger to keep battles from dragging.

Everyone's looking for a good FF/ Tactics Ogre game instead of one that reads like that for the dialogue.

oh yeah i got to the bit of caligula effect everyone mentions about and frankly from the way people talk about it i was expecting worse, i was surprised how much mifue's dungeon holds back on how they could've wrote the party's reactions to sweet p and how blatantly all of mifue's weird dialog is entirely her lashing out because of her own self-hatred. it's sorta off putting but like, for a game that's rolling with everyone being kind of lovely people on the outset (i kinda like that despite calming down kensuke is still kind of a manipulative and selfish jerk early on) i was expecting the way they treat finding out that sweet p is trans to be a lot worse. then again in the back of my head i was expecting some kind of dumb persona 3/4 clown show for it so that was expecting very little i guess

The 7th Guest posted:yeah i'm still making my way through part 1 (at the Junkyard currently) and it's only because of the article I read that I learned there's eventually a skill tree that unlocks (but only for Leo in the first part). i don't get why they deliver that stuff piecemeal Don't forget their is more to the equip system but you can't do anything with it either. Still, I'm very excited for actual party roster management and skill trees.

it's a very stark moment cause like right as the cast find out through someone's old pictures and memories a couple of them start to make some kinda lovely jokes but then they all realize it means their bodies in mobius are probably different from their bodies in the real world and instantly get very awkward and self-conscious because their reasons for coming in could have just as much to do with having anxieties about their own appearances as the person they're mocking. at the very least it shows the game puts a lot more thought into that aspect than you'd expect even if its approach can get a bit clunky at times

When the Trans stuff in Caligula Effect gets introduced it pretty immediately gets sidelined by the clearly self-hating fatphobia, so that part never came off as too bad for me. And I must admit naming the fat hating character's limit break "Brilliant Bulimia" is a good way to hint/clearly signpost their issues, in addition to it being pretty obvious from the way they are acting.

Blaze Union makes Yggra Union a real downer. Even if wanting to kill Yggdra for their father's crimes was a bit much, I feel pretty bad for Aegina/Luciana. Not to mention Gulcasa. On that note, Yggdra Union's translation is kinda bad in places huh?

So this showed up on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1131920/LABYRINTH_OF_TOUHOU__GENSOUKYO_AND_THE_HEAVENPIERCING_TREE/ Hopefully the translation patch is compatible with the Steam version (or they make a Steam-compatible translation patch?)
