Turns out Limp Bizkit was Isekai'd into the world years ago at the height of their popularity in our world and have actually been very popular in the world of Final Fantasy.

Don't forget the Lufenians have a way to preserve and transfer memories through history and generations. It's the only reason, in setting, why we know Cid, the Warrior of Light, and Chaos' origins. Also Cosmos' origin too.

I didn’t say it would be fun! Although honestly Chaos is a pretty hard fight, since as we know one must kill chaos. It came as quite the shock because other than Chaos I felt like the game overall was very easy.

I don't usually post in this thread because I haven't played FF8-14 so I have no strong opinions on if Lightning is a girlboss or Squall is a victim of gaslighting but I love FF1 so I am excited to play as Jack Garland and save the princess from my future and possibly past selves while listening to nu-metal ok peace

Evil Fluffy posted:God bless this dumb game and SE playing it straight and having a highly advanced civilization in a world where the rest of the world are medieval, pre-industrial societies somehow. I always liked high fantasy running into sci fi out of nowhere, which they seemed to like to do back then. FF1, the Ultima games, might and magic series, and others had these high fantasy settings but then there would be robots and aliens and lasers and what have you out of nowhere. It sort of seems like now when that stuff is mixed its all just in a big jumble from the start into the setting, like later final fantasy games, and less bizarre fuckery like if the final boss of Skyrim was an ancient AI computer after a whole game of high fantasy. I gotta say, I haven't played a new final fantasy game in a billion years, i've never played any souls like action rpg games or whatever even once, I didn't even play the FF7 remake, but something about the trailers for this god drat weird FF1 remake has just gripped me and i'm incredibly into it and looking forward to playing it.

I want more Wild Arms games so we can have more wild west running into sci fi, which has been sorely lacking for many years. Just ignore 4, that one's weird.

I do miss the creativity and weirdness of PS1/PS2 era, most things now seem to be boilerplate anime fantasy or some laser focused otaku-bait subgenre. You just can't get a game about post-apocalyptic wild west cowboys or supernatural comedy horror in WW1-era eurasia anymore

You should absolutely play Alter Code F which cranks up both the wild west and sci fi themes to even greater heights, as well as WA3 which I feel is the best of the mainline games (that I've played to completion, I never did finish 5 though it was pretty good too).

Boy of Joy posted:I have an unopened copy of Alter Code F and took a gander at eBay for how much it’s worth and uuuuh Do not sell it, play it. It's an absolute gem of a game. Also don't bother watching the episodes of Twilight Venom that are included as a bonus. They aren't particularly good, and neither is the series as a whole. I watched all of it and it was fairly disappointing. It wasn't bad, but it was pretty forgettable and if it didn't have the Wild Arms name on it there would be even less reason to remember it than there is now.

Alter Code F is worse than WA1 in pretty much every way. It can still be funish but damned if it isn't one of my least favorite remakes ever.

Was just playing WA1 today, stitching a world map of it because I was surprised none existed. A game so old-school it has a built-in screensaver. Killer soundtrack too. https://twitter.com/vgcartography/status/1486460683076227075?t=wlj-pmW9LI26wTCHQNdzkA&s=19

ImpAtom posted:Alter Code F is worse than WA1 in pretty much every way. It can still be funish but damned if it isn't one of my least favorite remakes ever. I could not disagree more with this post. I think ACF improves on the original in (almost) every way, especially considering all the new playable characters, the (mostly) awesome remixed music, the changes to make dungeons look more interesting and varied instead of them all looking identical, and the changes to how the characters played was great too. There's also closure to some of the stuff from the original game that never got it (like how reviving Elmina actually has a point in ACF). That's not to say that I like all the changes though. Losing a couple of guardians was a shame (RIP Denogeneous), some of the music is worse in my opinion (the "mysterious village" music that plays at Saint Centour after the town is abandoned is far superior in the original as the most glaring example, and the loss of Zed's original theme is really disappointing too), and Giant's Cradle being removed sucks too. Also I can see how some of the additions (mostly the puzzle boxes) would be really irritating to people too, even if they are totally optional. Electromax posted:Was just playing WA1 today, stitching a world map of it because I was surprised none existed. A game so old-school it has a built-in screensaver. Killer soundtrack too. ACF turns the world map theme into an even more blatant Ecstasy of Gold ripoff and it rules.

I hate to break the news to you, but the team behind Wild Arms transitioned to mobile gaming, got in bed with Square for Chaos Rings. Then they got in bed with Sega and transitioned to third party support for the Valkyria Chronicles games. A bunch of the original Wild Arms team also left media.vision for Alim. If Final Fantasy Brave Exvius seems kinda Wild Arms-ish at times, that's why. Varance fucked around with this message at 07:04 on Jan 27, 2022 |

Media.Vision did Shining Resonance (which is bad) and the Cyber Sleuth games (which are great) also. VC4 was kinda their last thing, but I hope they're doing something.

Onean posted:Yeah, if you haven't checked out One Step from Eden yet, it's gameplay is almost exactly the MMBN battles. I tried Eden and bounced off of it fairly hard. The main thing that soured me was the lack of any kind of Custom Screen. In BN, they could throw bullshit like Bass at you because you only had to deal with, at most, like 30 seconds of combat before you can open the Custom Screen and have a break to catch your breath before the next barrage. Eden instead has you instantly reload your deck the moment you run out, so you get All Fight All The Time, and I ended up finding it draining to play.

That was my experience with Eden too, it's just scathingly hard and completely unrelenting in its pace. The deck building kinda goes out the window without a chance to properly digest what your hand is at any point in a fight. A shame because the fundamentals are fantastic and it's clearly a work of passion, just wish it had a 'c'mon I'm in my 30s I can't keep up with this' mode

You can also achieve flight by putting your arms out and running really fast in a field but there are better ways ok that was a little mean, sorry, but unless you want to be a videogame anthropologist just play the Pixel versions, they feel like arcade-like remakes and that's cool when the base game is so old

The GBA remakes introduced me to the idea of what a remake should be, and they still stand as a gold standard. Pixel remasters are pretty much right beside them.
