Wasn’t there a jrpg where an entire sidequest just…wasn’t translated? I’d say that’s the worst translation job.

I may be in the minority, but Giruvegan through the Great Crystal is one of my favorite sequences in the entire series. And yes, I unironically love the “lol gently caress you” map of the crystal the game gives you.

Jokes aside, almost everything in Chrono Trigger has been seen long before that game.

So you can download it on iOS right now, but it seems you can’t start a new game yet. BUT the music player works, and my god. It is wonderful.

Controversial opinion that is possibly bad: I think the PRs are so far the definitive versions of the games and are generally excellent. Also, I never liked any of the bonus content and thought they were cheap tack-ons onto already complete games in order to sell the various ports over the years. Going back and just releasing the OG versions is cool and good.

Thankfully I haven’t run into anything buggy in 5PR as of yet, but I’m not surprised it shipped with some jankiness. It’s probably the most internally complex game of the batch, right?

FFV is the breeziest, chill game in the series. Just a dude and his gal pals (and Galuf) learning increasingly ludicrous ways of killing things while they try and take down a Power Rangers villain. It’s fantastic.

My first time playing vanilla XII I started the final battle with only Balthier alive, and somehow was able to revive everyone and take him down. Everyone was about level 40 and armed with axes, because I thought that was funny at 18.

Anybody else having weird frame rate issues for 5PR on iOS, specifically iPad? They really only crop up on the world map for me, and it’s the only one of the PRs so far that I’ve seen that does it - just slightly stuttery, and a full 1-2 second pause when getting the airship out of the Vault.

FF but literally no commands work. The game soft locks in the very first battle. The game is lauded as an artistic meta-commentary on the futility of perceived choice in gaming.

Yeah, I always assumed it’s something like if the USA were part of an FF world map, there would only be NYC, Miami, Denver, and LA. With maybe something like Gary, Indiana being the token hilariously dilapidated hellhole town.
