Rarity posted:Literally so hype for this It is going REALLY well. I am about 8 hours in and am in Upside Down Dracula House and I was a tad underlevelled and only doing 1-10points of damage to enemies but just found a rainbow dagger and am starting to get beefy a second time. I really, really love platformers. Also I cannot wait to get round to FFX-2. I just keep thinking about FFX and 8 and 9s stories over and over and put the music on and just realise how much I have fallen for a game genre and it is wild.

Yeah it was tricky but I got my PS3 up and running with the PSX version of SotN. So I get to hear the amazing voice acting which truly is wonderful. "Hricter!"

How many Castlevania games are you planning on doing VG? Cause you should def watch the Netflix series at some point if you're enjoying it. It's really really good.

I will play all that I can, but I have two other games off stream that I am playing right now. I will definitely watch the series once I have got more a handle on the Belmont family

the concept of ffx-2 is fun and the dress sphere system owns, but the mission based structure of the game is real bad.

New game from ex-Playdead staff is coming much sooner than I expected; I had just assumed that this had been delayed to 2023 given the lack of news this year. Also going to be on Game Pass at launch. https://twitter.com/jumpshipstudio/status/1585617631045885964

I'm more annoyed than I should be that they put this "launch" trailer out two weeks before the game actually launches https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1wr0DfV73E

At this point I'm wondering how much VG would freak out playing Romancing SaGa or SaGa Frontier Also VG did you ever get to play Open Sorcery

Hell yeah I wanna see Veeg play a SaGa game one of these days SaGa Frontier is my favorite but I feel like Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song is probably more approachable. Luckily by the time he might get around to it they'll both have readily available remasters to play

Seeinghow VG would progress through Romancing SaGa 2 would be neat just seeing what stuff he unlocks. VG do you even know anything about SaGa games because I suspect if you don't then hoo boy you'd be in for a treat. They are not very traditional as far as jrpgs go.

SaGa games are one of the JRPG deep ends. There are several different "deep ends" in the JRPG pool and they don't necessarily intersect. Lots of bigtime JRPG fans don't vibe with SaGa even as they dive happily into other weird or niche JRPGs (and vice versa). You gotta be okay with a game that's going to tell you only a portion of what you should probably know to succeed, will actively reject your attempts to follow a linear storyline (especially SaGa Frontier, multiple scenarios will just punch you straight in the face if you try to just follow the story), will make side quests appear and disappear for seemingly no reason at all (and once you do know the reason it'll just make you go  ), where sometimes they gently caress with the skill learning formulas just because even the designers don't want to know how it works.For some people, like me, that list of features is straight-up jolly and these games are an endless font of joy. For others, they're just obtuse, hair-pulling experiences that make you long for how understandable Dark Souls NPC quests are by comparison. When I recommend SaGa games I usually lead with the weird because if someone hears about how the skill system designer in SaGa Frontier changed values so even he wouldn't understand how it works and goes "lol that owns," that probably means they'll have a good time. And if they hear that story and go "what the hell that sounds like Bad Game Design" then they can safely disregard my recommendation, no harm, no foul. The series does vary pretty widely when it comes to how obtuse it is. Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song is pretty approachable (unless you're trying to 100% it, hahaha have fun learning about event rank!!!) while SaGa Frontier can be really obtuse, and then it keeps going even further and you get games like Unlimited SaGa that even most SaGa fans look at and say "hey what the gently caress" Harrow fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Oct 27, 2022 |

Lots of bigtime JRPG fans don't vibe with SaGa even as they dive happily into other weird or niche JRPGs (and vice versa). SaGa post-Gameboy really just feels like a JRPG trying to be a Western RPG*, with how the games are largely mostly pretty open and the story can vary wildly with some poo poo like Romancing SaGa 2 having entire scenarios play out completely differently depending on when you found them. *I mean this in the best possible way

Interestingly I think there's a good amount of crossover between SaGa and Souls games, which your Western RPG comparison made me think about. They're very different kinds of games, obviously, but there's like a shared design ethos there. Hidetaka Miyazaki has talked about how one of the inspirations for Souls games is how he used to read fantasy books in English wen he was younger and only understand portions, having to fill in the rest with his imagination. He wanted to capture that feeling in his games. The SaGa games also capture a similar feeling. If the obtuse or obscure parts of Souls games are a source of joy more than frustration for someone, they'll probably have a good time with SaGa, too.

Jay Rust posted:Which one is the best This is actually the whole reason I have been thinking about them. GOTY thread is approaching and I wondered how I would rank them and to be honest it was easier to rank the Souls games. FF8 9 and 10 are all truly excellent and each one does several things better than the other. I am struggling to figure out which one wins overall right now.

I am genuinely super in to the traditional jRPG genre and I think about them a ton when I am not playing them.

Also I have no knowledge of them whatsoever other than their names have a capitalised G. I cannot even tell you which one Harrow told me I should play
