it's bearable if you're okay with fast forwarding through literally every battle and putting no thought into anything. and also okay with the entire script obviously being written for like. preschoolers

it's very funny that the back of the japanese box for mystic quest hypes it up as "THE LONG-AWAITED REVERSE IMPORT! THE AMERICAN FINAL FANTASY!"

mystic quest is neat but I've never been able to play it through like the first few areas without getting bored.

I genuinely checked out Mystic Quest based solely on how hard the Theatrhythm songs went and I was fairly disappointed

Mystic Quest is one of those games where I wish a more challenging game using it's mechanics existed. I love the platforming, dungeon tools, choke point enemies who don't respawn, etc. And then I realize that this explains my love of magic tower games and Lufia II-styled dungeons.

luffia 2 is an incredible game, and that comparison retroactively has increased my opinion of mystic quest, a game i normally have nothing great to say about

Crisis Core seems alrite.
the slot machine thing for leveling anything up is kind of weird.

The whole game seems very arcade-y, no real rpg things to do, just do missions, go down the straight path on the map, maybe a side cave for a chest. Still more of an rpg than FF16 at least. I'm fine with it, since a short pre-made before rebirth is what I'm looking for.

I recommended Mystic Quest to a dying person as a stupid child and they got through that and FFIV before dying and mentioned that I had the nicest suggestion of anyone so in summary Mystic Quest is the greatest RPG ever made and I will irrationally fight for this point to the death.

FFIV still sucks.

Yeah, Crisis Core was made for handhelds for quick bursts of play in between commuting, so it makes sense that it’s simple in that way. Still kinda jank though, maybe the remaster fixed it but at least on PSP it was kind of insufferable doing a mission and having a random encounter pop up that you already beat.

kirbysuperstar posted:

Gals are epic, but I think OP is referring more to how well some of them get treated. I’m still only on Chapter 5 because it’s by far the biggest LAD game wrt side poo poo though so idk for certain.

Maybe I'm not up to date to marketing, but Infinite Wealth released so quietly.
Loved the previous one, so probably will pick it up once the price lowers. The gals in it are great.

Yeah it looks better but it's still very much a PSP game at heart no matter how you slice it. It's got a drat good protagonist and assortment of characters in it though so that makes up for it.

On an unrelated note, I think that after playing about 10 hunts in the Granblue Fantasy demo they've done what I was expecting every other recent superhero team game that let everyone down like to play like Gotham Knights, Marvel's Avengers and Suicide Squad to play like. Everyone plays differently from each other and they're all cool, even if Rackam's the simplest one of the cast.

Infinite Wealth is on track to being the best selling RGG Studio game in history so it probably did something right wrt the marketing. Would definitely recommend grabbing it on sale, it has enough content to justify the $70 but otoh it’s probably gonna go on sale in like a month if the previous game is any indication so why pay more.

Theatrhythm doesn't even have the best Mystic Quest song, which is the fire town version of the town theme

I liked hers as a change of pace from how serious everyone else's story is.

I also enjoyed how she is surrounded by lesbians and is totally oblivious to it.
