Akiha's Tea Room / Re: What is the color you choose for your character?

« on: April 15, 2010, 03:39:40 AM »

Main (C-Hisui) and Alternate (C-Riesbyfe).

I have a color picked out for most characters in the cast, but:
1. I'm fucking lazy.
2. While I have a color or two picked out for the majority of the cast, these are the characters you'd see more than once or twice in casuals ever.

The SNES game was watered down to begin with. It has like half the character skills it should have. I'm sure you've heard the talk of 'easy type' and 'hard type' versions of the game.

That's a fair point, actually.

1. Original Japanese Version
2. Stripped Down English Version with hilariously bad translation. Difficulty reduced.
3. Even easier Japanese version based off the English version with some weird stuff added, including an awesome sword that turns enemies into pigs.

Although why they made an Easy-Type FFIV is beyond me. Even the original version of the game is easy.

Final Fantasy IV is the FF game I've played the most of, every version, over and over, probably because it was the first FF game I really got into as a kid.

Same except replacing 'every version' with 'the SNES one' and 'over and over' with 'every year or so'. I played the newer titles, but I prefer my the obviously dated version. Though I've noticed that Square's done a lot to placate (and milk money from) FFIV fans recently. Dunno whether to be concerned or squeal like a rabid fangirl, but I don't the sequels to water down the original game. Which is what happened to FFVII (a game I hated anyways).

Lol @ me talking about 'watered down' Final Fantasy.

This kind of thing I've never really understood.  I don't understand nostalgia gaming.  Reminiscing about fun times you had when playing old games is good and all, but going back and replaying the shit out of an game that often purely on the nostalgia value?  Doesn't make sense at all to me.  I'd much much rather experience something new that play on old game most of the time.  The only exceptions are games that just have no equal.  There just plain isn't any other game out there in the same style of VP Lenneth or OB64 that does its thing better than they did.

I understand it if they go back to it after a couple of years. Typically speaking, I don't re-visit a game (those I get around to, anyways) for about four-five years. The vast majority of games I never get through more than once unless it's something I played as a kid. Multiplayer games / games designed for multiple completions are obviously exempt.

Still, I usually breeze through games fast enough that I can't afford to purchase new ones all the time.

Playing Dokapon vs CPU is lame. Half the fun is trying to get your once-friends to ragequit.

I will note that the Darkling is the stupidest shit I've ever seen. I've never been in last long enough to utilize it myself. It usually turns into someone using that Global Town wipe ever 3-4 weeks. As much as I love Hot Foot, I don't like having to spam it every single turn.

I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who always spins/rolls a 0 when Mitch the digger shows up.

I hate grinding, yet I've played more MMOs than I'd like to admit to. I get tired of them quickly enough, though. Lineage II was the one I played the most, which is ironic seeing as it's the biggest grindfest of all. WoW was pretty alright with some friends. I got invited with some triple experience promo though, so that probably contributed quite a bit to my two week enjoyment.

Don't worry about being terrible at TF2 now Vice. They made it shitty awhile ago.

I'll be compiling this info into the wiki eventually. Good shit.

Personally, I prefer Crescent. Half loses the loops, corner options, and tech-punish shenanigans I play her for.

Full is just garbage, lol.

If life was an RPG, I'd the annoying glass cannon character that talks too much. lol

I never mentioned BoF3 because I haven't played it since I was about twelve. I've been meaning to play the PSP version I have, but I never got around to it because of Melty. BoF4 was also really good.

1 and 2 were pretty standard as far as RPGs go, Dragon Quarter was pretty weird. I liked to a degree, but I don't really consider it a Breath of Fire title.

I hate you Loli. This thread makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Today I re-defeated Romancing SaGa 3 and Super Metroid (not saying much, the game is short as hell).

I'm also hitting up Ebay for the various Working Designs games I haven't played.

You guys (Shin and Loli) have excellent tastes in RPGs and games in general, though I'd hate to admit that I've never actually beaten Grandia II.

I was surprised to see Skies of Arcadia and the Lunar games mentioned. I thoroughly enjoyed them, but I never felt the urge to beat them multiple times.

I've been meaning to replay Growlanser 2&3 for the alternate endings, but I'm usually lazy with that sort of thing.

Bahamut Lagoon lost a lot of it's appeal for me when I realized that you could just set your dragons to attack and win every mission.

Even with all the emphasis they put on using and raising the dragons they were still too powerful.

Still, it was a good game.

I'd recommend the SaGa games. They're a little odd as far as RPGs go, but they're customizable as hell and pretty non-linear with their multiple storylines and (mostly) open ended exploration.

Romancing SaGa 3 is the one most people think is 'the best', though I have a soft spot for SaGa Frontier (even though most people couldn't stand it because the game is weird as hell and doesn't ever tell you where you're supposed to go). I'd personally say start with Romancing SaGa 3 (the translation can be found pretty easily) or SaGa Frontier 2 if you wanted to get into the series. None of the games really take place in the same world or have congruent storylines, so you can play them in any order.

The Seiken Densetsu / Mana series is really good up until Legend of Mana. Anything after that is pretty much garbage.

Fuck you loli. Now I want to play RPGs.
