RareAcumen posted:Holy poo poo! This whole time I thought it was just a normal fighting game that had some of the main cast of FF7 in it, I didn't realize there were that many! They go all out! Cloud and Tifa even have secret 3P costumes. Cloud is a Shinra soldier grunt out and Tifa is Cowboy Tifa.  Also the Roguelike mode it has is hilarious. It's a quest for the Phoenix Down. You get down to the bottom, your character dies, then you have to go down to the bottom as the other character, fight the Phoenix, and then choose to either keep or use the Phoenix Down. I had to choose between Ehrgeiz and Smash Brothers and I went for Ehrgeiz while my friend got Smash, and while Smash was inarguably better, I got hours of fun out of that stupid roguelike mode and being able to use Zack and make Cloud and Sephiroth fistfight. I am sure it would be unplayable today but haha, nostalgia means I don't even have to think about that.

tobal no. 1, the game that is technically a grappling-focused 3d fighting game but it's more like the worst roguelike you've ever played. and for some reason they did not name the sequel tobal no. 2

great username posted:Final Fantasy: Masters of Teras Kasi Hey now, let's not get insulting. (Yes, young me bought that stupid-rear end game too entirely because it had Mara Jade and young me thought Mara Jade was the coolest character.)

I bet a lot of Finns bought it just because of the title, a Star Wars game with broken Finnish in the title was really bizarre but also kinda charming to see.

Ehrgiez ruled because the dungeon crawler would dictate your stats depending on how balanced your diet was, so you had to keep track of carbs and protein and your vitamin intake. Also the game required spending money to save

It looks like it uses barely 5% of it lmao I don't think the game even uses textures, it's all flat shaded

It's gouraud shaded but it runs in 514x480 mode which is way higher than straight up 97% of the PS1 library and keeps 60fps during that, it's actually extremely technically sound

Yeah I was wondering why it was so difficult finding raw PS1 footage of it on youtube, turns out all the videos I thought were emulated was actually running on base PS1 hardware anyway, it's running at native resolution and holding locked 60fps, both of which is an extreme rarity for that era. Looks like an FF7 minigame though.

More FF7 weirdness, but I loved how you could go right to Lucrecia's cave or stumble on the key of the ancients before you even need it by tooling around in the submarine. Also getting your poo poo pushed in at the Gelnika if you go there too early/unprepared.

The Gelnika was the last place I expected to run into a Turks boss fight. Also has some excellently horrific enemy designs.

FF5 has the undersea trench dungeon that has similar "unknown" enemies populating it. They're also all classed as undead, so it's easily handled by a troupe of bards singing requiem, which is fun.
