Legend of Legaia was a jrpg for psx that was pretty great if you played it during its heyday and also pretty difficult. I started this up recently and was dismayed at the amount of random encounters so I hacked an accessory into my save that lowers the encounter rate and while I was at it I gave myself two accessories that regen mp outside of combat. It really made the grindy part of the game go away for the most part and I was able to sit back and enjoy. Here are my questions have you played this game?(beaten it? anyone?) what ways have you "modded" some part of your JRPG experience for your benefit? (fast forward is an obvious one for every SNES rpg) this is also a safe legaia/psx-era and earlier jrpg discussion zone

is it a 3D game? PSX era 3d games tend to be rather janky, slow and unfun

Ekster posted:is it a 3D game? PSX era 3d games tend to be rather janky, slow and unfun The only thing this game suffers from like other psx jrpgs is the battle animations taking a while, but sometimes they're funny because people yelling out their attacks, and also I kinda just go and do something in between taking my turn which kinda mitigates that issue. Would only recommend it to people who have the tolerance for that sort of thing. The challenge in the game's boss fights and the satisfaction for winning is pretty rewarding. The story is funny unintentionally sometimes but the odd moment can be surprisingly gripping. Watching little polygon block people get bitten by little polygon block monsters as the mist rolls in. Truly a harrowing experience. When people "blush" in this game it makes all their clothes go red too.

this game was really awesome and holy poo poo boss fights were hard. the fighting element was a bit odd but the summons were rad as gently caress.

Sometimes you can find hi res texture packs to make them better and/or use emulation to make the visuals better FF9 in particular works well with this since it has textures natively that the PSX couldn't display but which pop out on an emulator

The details they put in can't be seen at native PSX resolution; for example, the ticket ViVi drops has text that can be read on it IIRC They really put a lot of work into the visuals of that game to the point that they went beyond what could be displayed off the dev kits

Boss fights were pretty scary not just difficulty wise but the music was trying to psyche you out good track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YO4Z833om8M

hi i played and enjoyed this game. i dont think i beat it though and the boss fights were not really that bad provided you had the right seru, but thanks to the complete RNG aspect of acquiring seru it was entirely possible that you didn't. that set of three one on one fights and then a 3 v 1 damage race is particularly bad if you don't have the right seru. fun game, cool battle system

I just used the point card The point card accumulated every time you bought something and if you saved up enough you could just brush aside a particular nasty boss if you didn't feel like trying to get stronger.

I've recently come to the shocking conclusion that JRPGs haven't gotten worse, rather they were always pretty terrible and I've just gotten better

JRPGS with random encounters can rot in the same circle of hell as people who play CoD and fold money in half hot dog style.

i've beaten legaia. its pretty cool. i like that you see what armor/weapons your characters are wearing. that was revolutionary for the time and s till looks good to me today. the designs of monsters/items/seru are cool. also the plot gets real dark which kind of made my teen mind go O_O;; frameskip is necessary to play it now though. random encounter!!

I have beaten this game. There was a bad snowstorm in like 1999 and I spent about three days locked in my room, curled in a blanket, beating this game. I had gone through Wild Arms, so I was pretty excited for their second take on the genre. The only real negative aspect about this game is the over world moving speed. Everything else is pretty loving cool. World ending plot with secret puppet masters. A loving symbiote that gives your characters awesome special martial arts moves with the ability to catch other creatures. A tower level so awesome no other tower level can compare. It even has a Monk and a little girl who has the name Noa. That's not a god drat girls name you fucks but I'll allow it because you didn't give her giant tits. Thank you.

Action Jacktion posted:LoL also had a dancing minigame before every game had a dancing minigame. Legaia 2 is a weird game. It's kinda decent and kinda poo poo. It has basically the same combat system as Legaia but I didn't like it as much because most of the characters just have dull looking sword combos instead of doing awesome kung fu moves. It has maybe the worst sewer level ever, and makes you go back through it like five times. It's grindy and the story is the most generic bullshit ever. loving Elemental Crystals plot in a PS2 game. It's basically fun to play the same way the first game was, though. It's just too long and has too much BS. I've started it at least three times and always burn out about two thirds through.

Nihnoz posted:HuURRrRRR i agree, if you need 4x exp and gold in a DQ game you are an extreme failtard. this is this notion that dragon quest games are extremely grindy and i don't really know where it came from because if you actually play the game they're generally not very hard. like all you do is mostly pick attack and use items (including the item they give you in basically every loving game that gives you a free midheal)
