Araxxor posted:Perfect guards are still in. Seems their solution to this was to add a timing indicator telling you when to press the button. I thought it was just a damage reduction guard, it had perfect guards too? I always assumed that was a Paper Mario original. I appreciate that it's gonna tell you that some attacks are unblockable so don't even bother trying.

RareAcumen posted:I thought it was just a damage reduction guard, it had perfect guards too? I always assumed that was a Paper Mario original. The timing is a lot stricter. It's like 5 to 7 frames typically. Where an imperfect guard halves damage and typically lasts like 30 to 40 frames or so. The same applies with attacking. Most perfect hits grant 50% more damage, but have like 5 to 7 frame timing windows where imperfects are typically 25% more damage and have way bigger timing windows.

Hopefully the remake will smooth it out enough to be genuinely enjoyable rather than "This was the absolute best when you were 12 years old and had infinite time to make your characters write books."

Scoss posted:The Star Ocean remake looks great. I've beaten SO2 and killed half the superbosses, the systems in that game were stupid and great. Off the top of my head, the way it worked was that you could unlock 50 skills or so, which all gave small stat bonuses as you levelled them and certain skill combinations would unlock Specialties like Music and Cooking and Alchemy or w/e and the results from each Specialty would depend on what your using and your level in that Specialty or what character you're doing it with. And to unlock new skills or raise the skill caps you have to buy skill books from certain cities so walkthroughs might recommend sneaking ahead in the story to get certain skills so you can learn the flute early or w/e. And specialties won't work if your character doesn't have the right talents, which are determined when you get that character. You have have maximum ranks in music and you'll still play like poo poo if you don't have a sense of rhythm. But specialties have a miniscule chance of unlocking that talent on a character if they're compatible (some characters absolutely can't get certain talents, like Ashton never gets a sense of design and his jewelry is always tacky) and unlocking a talent gets you a shitton of skill points so the really crazy players will minmax party members to start with as few talents as possible for better skill gains down the line. For the monster summoning thing, I think the way it works is that you go to the secret dungeon and kill the superboss, and the superboss drops the Silver Trumpet, and if you play the Silver Trumpet (assuming you have a party member who can play trumpet) monsters come out, and if you have Max ranks in music the monster that comes out is the second, stronger superboss. Pickpocketing gives you a low, one-time chance to steal an item from nearly every single NPC in the game, and every time your party members see you do it they hate you a little more and all your relationships go down. So you have to split the party the first time you enter a city, rob everyone blind, and then reconvene. 90 percent of the time you get, like, six dollars and a crumpled paper. Sometimes you get the second best armour in the game, or a unique accessory that just spits out free items every ten minutes. I love this stupid game.

Nope, I love the Monsters sub series and I was super psyched about the new one. Joker 3 and the remake of Terry's Wonderland have some solid fan translations that I can recommend if you want to play some of the 3DS ones too to tide you over.

OK i am about done with all the demos I was interested in this nextfest, last few things don't fit the thread. Cyber Knights by the Trese Brothers of Star Traders Frontiers. More on the xcom side of things in style but also has a bit of an invisible inc vibe in that its focusing on heists. If you are familiar with Star Traders the story has a similar freeform vibe, your crew aren't really unique characters but they still hop in to say stuff during cutscenes depending on what their role is, and there are different backgrounds for your crew and the team as a whole to shake things up. Like all Trese Brothers stuff, its pretty clunky, but has a lot of indie charm and ambition.

I'm that guy that adored the GBC Dragon Warrior Monsters games, but hates the Joker games. They stripped too much out of the games, and the poo poo-tier Nintendo Handheld Polygons™ are an eyesore compared to the GBC sprites. Also, having grown up playing DWM, but not any mainline Dragon Warrior games, the mistranslated monster and attack names from the GBC games are way more charming to me.

star ocean 2 is one of the best games of all time. remake looks real unappealing but the ps1 version is easily available so shrug edit: psa play pal not ntsc-u. it's one of the pal games that was converted to run at a proper speed and also they added item creation speedup and fixed some freeze bugs. if you can read japanese the greatest hits/ps1 books re-release also has all that stuff Tonfa fucked around with this message at 00:42 on Jun 22, 2023 |

Star Ocean 2 Remake Remake is great to exist. I'm glad the best possible version of that game is coming out so that people can have the best time realizing that at it's peak SO as a franchise is less than mid.

SO6 didn't really do enough in either direction except maybe the lovely battle camera. It just was. It was a game that existed. I beat the entire thing, did the bonus content, and can't remember a single thing about it besides awkward flying around and Covid Is Real You Shitheads. However Covid Is Real, You Shitheads inherently made it a better game than SO5.

Yeah the way to break SO2 is to learn pickpocketing ASAP, and go to a town before a certain event happens and split up from the rest of the party for some solo time for character events, etc. and steal this one accessory that causes random items to show up in your inventory from just walking around. One of those items is something that will instantly give you enough exp to level up.
