Evil Fluffy posted:A lot of QoL for the massive timesinks in the PSP version? Crafting needs to be "press button, get results" and ideally take and make the subcomponents for you if necessary. gently caress the RNG on CODa drops/appearances. Make them static for story progress. The game is long enough, it doesn't need to take 500+ hours to finish the game, Took the words right out my keyboard. Piss on the pot, too many time sinks, too much RNG; this is not an MMO where the publisher needs to continually leech people for membership fees and microtransactions. I would also like a remake to be translated, but I cannot imagine that happening. Evil Fluffy posted:...speaking of finishing the game, we need a final update still that wraps up this LP right? I was of the understanding of 1 more update as well, but I'm very nervous. The closer we get to completion the more things have slowed and the more tense I get. This is my favourite game for story ever, tied with Torment, and the idea of being so close but not completing makes me anxious.

I checked, and waah hasn't posted anything since 16 December, 2021 when he told us that he was working on the last update. Given the total silence since then, I fear that this LP may have died 2 metres from the finish line.

I have his saves still, so worst case scenario, I'll finish it off. But they're his saves, we'll give him a chance

tithin posted:I have his saves still, so worst case scenario, I'll finish it off. Do you - or anyone for that matter - have any other way to contact him? Many years ago, I was following an LP where the LPer died during and his brother or some other relation came on to tell us of his passing. More than just the LP, I am worried about him personally. He has not posted anything in six months as of yeseterday, and during that time there have been no updates on the last update and we have posted communally a few dozen posts on related topics without him chiming in.

On a related note to the LP, Waah hasn't responded to any of my messages which is concerning, and hasn't posted this year at all. I hope he's ok. I'm pretty deep inside my move at this stage but if there's been no movement from him by the time that's done and I'm finished moving, I'll look into picking up where he left off.

JustJeff88 posted:I am actually disappointed as I wanted this to come out for Switch so that I could play it portably. likewise. One glimmer of hope though: the article posted:Given that the leak comes from a PlayStation Store-focused website, it is currently unknown whether the game will also be available for additional platforms. Disgaea 6's PS Store page also makes no mention of it being available on Switch (which it is), so there's still a chance

Per unit leveling is the one thing I needed to jump. Dropping everything once a new class becomes available to grind them up to speed killed the momentum of every run I've ever had, moreso than the ludicrous crafting requirements.

I'm all but sure that this will be mostly a minor visual upgrade with very few mechanical changes. Unlike FFT, which I would also like to see on the Switch, I fear that this game/IP is too niche to merit any major changes. So, I think that they will just do a low-effort 'here it is again' job.

The original was too niche to merit how good the psp port was anyways, so I hold out hope. Tactics Ogre is held up as incredibly influential or groundbreaking with SE staff, former and current. They haven't done anything with it obviously, but I think the game carries a lot of weight with a few people there still.

To be fair, from what I've seen they're ditching levels being tied to classes and some other stuff people didn't like from the psp version. There's hope that the endgame is less of a comical grind and that something is done with the godawful crafting system they added. The actual main campaign is fantastic, so I dont think anyone really cares if that gets left alone.

GLARGLALMAMAAAA... Sorry, I just choked on my own joy there. Edit: Not surprised that it's only in English and Japanese, but disappointed. Also, interesting that a game about the misery of war is coming out on Armistic day. Can't be a coincidence. JustJeff88 fucked around with this message at 16:46 on Aug 4, 2022 |

There's a physical collector's edition in Japan that has an art book, physical script, soundtrack, and Tarot Cards. The same Tarot Cards that were a pre-order bonus for the PSP version here in the states. https://store.jp.square-enix.com/sp/tacticsogre_r/index.html

I noticed two more things about this game: 1) Firstly, PC release 2) Secondly, piss-takingly high price. It's like they are begging me to pirate it until it goes on sale for something sensible. Solumin posted:Ah yeah ok I'm interested now. It is a shame that a fantastic RPG that's just as good as the better-named FFT will be lost for the sake of cooke-cutter Pokemen the 77th.

I mean, it's a 3rd (4th, in JP) release of the exact same game. Obviously everyone in this thread is getting it, but let's not pretend this is some great new poo poo. When Skyrim comes out on every system I'm sure Skyrim fans are pretty excited, but nobody else is.

When Skyrim comes out on every system I'm sure Skyrim fans are pretty excited, but nobody else is. This is a bad comparison. Skyrim was available across Windows, Playstation, and Xbox, eventually going to Switch several years later. Its availability across all consoles and PC means if you wanted to play it, you probably had a console or computer that could run it. And if you wanted to play it today, you very easily could. The OG Tactics Ogre was limited to SNES (Japan only) and Playstation (terrible port with load times). The PSP remake was available only on PSP. No Nintendo, PC, or Xbox ecosystems. Opening it up to PC and modern Playstation consoles means that people who never invested in a PSP (or, for a million reasons, didn't play the Playstation version) actually have a real chance to play it. It's still not comparable to the Skyrim situation because, well, no Xbox. It is also disingenuous to call it the "exact same game" since the PSP port made huge changes to gameplay/mechanics, writing/story, improvements to graphics, an updated soundtrack, and a bunch of new content in the main game and post-game. And DLC. It appears this version, too, has made mechanical changes, improvements to graphics, and an updated soundtrack. It's not "some great new poo poo," but it isn't just a low-effort port of the original SNES release. In addition: there are a number of folks I've spoken to, including people who played FFT or Triangle Strategy, who never played the game that inspired those titles--and have signaled interest in this. So, not just Skyrim fans, either.

I stand by my opinion that it's overpriced.Szurumbur posted:Honestly while I like the remaster I'm waiting for the news about crafting/random drops, and also don't like that they dropped the subtitle:( Small thing but, yes, I miss that too. If anything, it kept the game distinct from others. Sadly, the other games are even more inaccessible than this one. I couldn't play Knight of Lodis on GBA due to the ergonomics, for example.

If it's on PC, it's going to be relatively easily modable, so that's going to be fun. It's also not Gacha NFT or anything, so that's nice, but I'm sad it's a reremake, even if it is extensive, it's like they are scared of just making a new one and are dipping their toe in.

I appreciate that they're doing it though. It's nice to have missing games rereleased everywhere and off the PSP. Now we just need Muramasa: The Demon's Blade on PS5 and PC too.

The Tarot Cards and Map from the Japanese collector's edition are available separately in the US: https://store.na.square-enix-games.com/en_US/product/767982/tactics-ogre-reborn-tarot-card-set The Tarot cards for TO: Reborn are the same as the pre-order bonus for the PSP Version of TO: LUCT, albeit with a different back.
