not a bot posted:Completed the demo for Triangle Strategy and while the fights are nice, they amount for maybe 25% of the gameplay. The rest of the time you're basically just mashing a button to forward endless conversations concerning the dumbass plot with cookie cutter characters. Hopefully that's just a way to set the story and the rest of the game will have a better balance. I hope it keeps being 75% dialogue, the battles are kinda boring but I really like the conflicts that they’re building

Thanks for that. Whatever the case, they must remake Maple Treeway the GOAT track or we strike.

I'm in the middle of chapter 2 on Project Triangle Strategy, but it seems to be building slowly. Hard to say now, but I like the approach of having long cutscenes in between the battles. I'm watching Resonant Arc's excellent series on Final Fantasy Tactics and despite them talking for literal hours about the game's story, they note that the cutscenes are really short. It seems like they're taking a different approach in PTS.

b_d posted:i was just reading an article about the changes from mother 1 to the localized version and it turns out the run option was put in during localization as a testing/debugging helper and one of the guys on the project convinced them to leave it in. Huh. Now I remember reading somewhere that Breath of Fire II was in a similar situation: There's actually a run function, but it was disabled in the game. Sadly, Capcom hosed up the localization bad enough there probably was no time, budget or decision-making skills for any other result.  I know this because there's a fan patch for the game which re-enables running for BoFII again. Of course, it's not in the SNESflix-version so you're sol without doing something weird like hacking your Switch to put a SNES-emulator on it Waltzing Along posted:This is someones dream game. Probably someone reading this comment right now. And then in a twist it turns out it already existed, but was Japan-only.

The GBA Breath Of Fire 2 port doubled the xp/gold gain because it's a kinda grindy game without a lot of strategy.

LIVE AMMO COSPLAY posted:The GBA Breath Of Fire 2 port doubled the xp/gold gain because it's a kinda grindy game without a lot of strategy. You definitely can grind, if you want multiple characters maxed out on skills, but in truth there's not much mandatory grinding if you just want to get through the game. And if you want to grind, there are e.g. multiple enemies vulnerable against insta-death and a lot of enemies are vulnerable against debuffs. That, and most fights tend to go like rocket tag anyway. Grinding is a lot less tedious if the individual fight moves at a brisk pace. I tried the GBA-version once, but imho, just doubling money and exp gain and changing nothing else turns an already easy game into an absolute cake walk. BoFII is a game balanced around nearly every character maxing out all their skills after ca. level 30 and loaded down with money exploits if the game isn't yet easy enough for you. All the gold/exp-doubling does is ruin your fun by removing the need to engage with the game's systems.

There are two hidden islands with big, bad monsters with weaknesses. The second one even comes with a secret shop selling endgame-equipment.  (And an enemy so strong it'll kill your rear end if you come too early.)

Chronojam posted:loving Highfort. Yeah, the one thing BoFII did really bad was blindly assuming the player would use certain characters over others. For example, Bow needs ridiculously low amounts of exp to rush through his levels, and the one time you are forced to use him, the enemies you encounter are weak and give out unusually high exp amounts for that part of the game. On the other hand, e.g. Sten and Rand, two other characters you absolutely need for certain dungeons, level up a lot slower. This is great news if you hate Bow and love Sten, not so much if the reverse is true. If you say, dumpster Sten the first chance you get and never use him again, Highfort will be painfull  At least the developers gave us poor Sten-haters a fail safe: What I never noticed as a dumb kid, there's a lot of Sten-equipment hidden in Highfort, so it's theoretically possible to make short runs from your save point purposefully into the wrong direction, taking all that secret poo poo, and give yourself a leg up. Ironically, if you come prepared it's a lot easier to survive walking into the wrong direction for so long. Certainly, today I'm thankful for having save states on my Switch, because gently caress doing all that poo poo legit. I'm not a teenager with infinite time anymore. Edit: A certain frog leveling up at a snail's pace and Katt leveling up fast enough to break the light barrier makes me think that's another pair of characters where the devs obviously thought players would love that dumb frog prince enough to keep him in the party forever, while betting equally hard on Katt being unloved and forgotten.

It's such a good idea. That a Nintendo Switch is not capable of doing. It could be done on a PS5, though. Make it happen Nintendo.

I don't know how I would've managed to ever beat BoF2 as a kid if I didn't have a strategy guide for it. Apparently it was wrong about a lot of things but at least got me through every time I rented the game.
