softcorps posted:FM3 was releasd on the US PSN sometime in the past few weeks, although I don't know when exactly. Now, if only they'd somehow convert FM4 and 5 over to PS3... I liked FM4 but it never held my interest like FM3 did. That internet simulation thing was awesome, it was the SRPG equivalent of having a world to explore and getting optional story out of it. That said FM5 has an English patch you can apply to it. If your PC is capable of PS2 emulation, it's easy - just apply the patch to the ISO and play. If it's not you're a bit more limited - I think you'll need a modded PS2, so that you can patch the ISO, burn it to DVD, then play that in your PS2. Now that my PC can handle it I'm thinking about picking it up eventually, lots of actual PC games to play first though.

Cake Attack posted:Archers are actually really good, unlike in Final Fantasy Tactics. Also, the Oberyth items (I think that's what they're called), are vendor trash and can be sold freely. Crafting is incredibly tedious, and you can probably get by without it. I can't think of anything that should really pose much of a problem, especially since you're familiar with FFT. Oh, and Let us Cling Together is amazing, so have fun. Yeah anything that is optional and tedious I'll always skip. I guess I'll actually use archers! They were my least favorite FFT class

Ragequit posted:After you drop 100+ hours in to the Tactics Ogre game everyone has mentioned, you should mod your PSP and apply the slowdown fix patch for FFT. It has prompted yet another playthrough from me, and I haven't noticed a single problem in the first few battles. The slowdown is completely gone, and it is glorious. What the hell! That's amazing, I can't believe they actually fan-patched it. Honestly I JUST beat it on iOS though so I'm good at the moment, will keep that in mind if I ever feel like it again though.

Yeah if you really want to play disgaea the PSP ones are always better and add systems in from future games. Disgaea 4 will probably be better on the eventual Vita release too.

gently caress you Tactics Ogre I'm in that battle where you have to rescue a girl and there's a dragon and stuff. First time through I'm doing great, picked up some neat new class cards, doing just fine, the girl manages to block almost everything coming her way. There's one guy left on the battlefield, he gets a critical hit and she dies. I thought you could use the Chariot to turn back a couple of turns but nope, Game Over. Fine whatever I'll do this again. Every other try she's been dying on like, the 3rd turn, turns out I just got really lucky the first time. Ugh. Can I just choose the second option and let her die?

TehGherkin posted:I'm in the exact same boat here, FM1 is one of the few SNES jRPGS I ever got round to actually finishing, but when I tried 3 (Whats the deal with 2?) I just never got into it. Do goons think its worth giving it another shot? Whats 4 like? and has anyone else got any opinions on the quality of the translation patch? I'd really like more Front Mission in my life. I haven't played FM3 in a while but it was one of my favorite PS1 SRPGs. It does start off slow but eventually builds up as you start unlocking skills and mechs and stealing people's stuff. Plus FM3 was the last game that let you eject and shoot at robots with a pistol

The Atelier series comes off as one of those second rate JRPGs most people would ignore last gen but that JRPG starved players flock to now because there's not much else to choose from. That said I've been playing a lot of Disgaea 3 recently so maybe I shouldn't judge

I decided I'm gonna play a standard JRPG on the vita. YS is an action RPG, my other games are SRPGs, ZHP is a rogue like thing (also I loaded my save and forgot what the hell I was doing, my guy looks like the last boss on every slot) I've heard trail in the sky and Cladun get mentioned a lot. I'm leaning more towards Cladun, do I skip the first one? (they're both the same price). I kind of want a fun quirky game over a super serious one. Alternatively I wait for PS1 support and play FF9

Emalde posted:Cladun 1 has multiplayer, so if that interests you at all get that. I would be more than happy to start a new dude and play with you over AHP if you have the option. I'd be picking these up to play while I'm traveling, so multiplayer would be out, which makes it an easy decision And dammit, Cladun is the game where you build a fully customized party right? I heard "party" and thought turn based. It says RPG in the title! Whatever I'm not gonna go homeless over $20, Cladun X2 it is.

So I'm playing Cladun X2 and there are a million subsystems and it's complicated as poo poo and I'm loving it. I should really play more NIS games than disgaea. It's also really funny without trying too hard. Anyway I started as Warrior and made a wizard and ranger, is there anything I should know early on like not using some jobs? I'm figuring out sub-characters as I go and just equip them with whatever junk I find lying around for now.

Emalde posted:Classes: Merchants get the best magic circles for raising the poo poo out of other characters. Staff-based characters are a lot more heavily equipment based than the other classes due to how normal staff attacks function. Sub characters actually level better than the main right? So when I'm running through the game I should be using my weaker guys to level my stronger ones? I'm not quite sure of this part yet. Is there any way to get fame other than speed running? Wendell posted:Definitely keep ZHP in mind for when you're finished with Cladun. Oh yeah I've played it back on the PSP. It seemed really similar to Disgaea in a lot of aspects, Cladun is totally fresh but both are pretty great. I had a $50 card for Vita games and I've been blowing it all on PSP stuff instead, a lot of quality stuff for good prices.

Hey PSP/Vita owners/JRPG fans: Atlus is having a massive sale on the US store. Persona 3 Portable is $10, Persona 2 $15, and a lot of stuff like Yggdra Union as low as $5. I should check out Yggdra Union an Riviera for that cheap.

Believe it or not MGS: Peacewalker has a small amount of RPG mechanics. You collect enemy soldiers to level up your base it's a great game if you like MGS at all. I've started Persona 2 on the Vita recently, it was on sale but back to fill price I think.

Miijhal posted:I've been playing Legasista for most of the day. Just unlocked character creation, and it's pretty much as I expected. If you aren't an art major or at least very good at drawing animes pixel by pixel, you pretty much won't get any use out of it. It looks EXACTLY like Cladun but prettier. The main problem I have with Cladun is even though your skills, party, stats are all very customizable the actual gameplay is a lot of swing, block, swing, block. Once you get past a certain point you have to play very carefully, unless I was just doing something wrong.

jannik posted:What's the GBA emulation supposed to be like? Like which version is the one to get and does it run most (all?) games without any issues? GBA and SNES emulation wasn't all that great on a PSP-3000 from what I tried. Weird sound issues and a bit of slowdown in some games, and completely unplayable in others. It's cool if you already have a PSP with games on it but I wouldn't get one JUST for emulation unless it's gotten much better in the last several years For GBA emulation I keep recommending it but a Dingoo A-320 is awesome. About $100, a tiny handheld, and GBA emulation is near-perfect. So many SNES games have a GBA version too, I played through the SNES FF games on the GBA versions using this thing again. SNES emulation is passable but not perfect, and I didn't try the other emulators. I have mine loaded up with FF4-6, Super Mario Bros 2, 3, and World, the Wario GBA game, and the Castlevania GBA games. That said if you already have a PSP with emulators I would try it out for a bit and see if it bugs you that much.

voltron lion force posted:I've got a PSP-3000 and the latest GBA emulator works perfectly, while the SNES one works well but seems to have some trouble with slowdown when trying to emulate mode 7 stuff. The SNES one used to have a weird sound issue with Super Mario World, is that better now? It was just the most glaring one to me since that's one of the most popular SNES games and the sound effects are so distinctive.

flyboi posted:Even though everyone poo poo all over TWEWY ios port I got it on my iPad and I very much enjoy it. I could never get into it on DS because of the controls and just not feeling it, but I've already blown through the first week today. It makes the game much more accessible although I don't understand what kind of equipment I should aim for or if I should vary because of OMG TRENDS... People complained it was too expensive ($18 for iPhone, $20 for iPad and neither is universal) but anyone that bought it says it's actually a really good port. High resolution compared to the crappy DS screen with graphics updated to match and the music is actual music instead of garbled stuff. If it goes one sale I'll pick it up for sure but at $18 with no new gameplay content I can pass.

MockingQuantum posted:Does anyone have any experience with Final Fantasy Tactics on iOS? I'm considering getting it on my iPod cuz I'm a sucker for Tactics, but it sounds like it's suffering from a lot of the major bugs that the PSP version had, without really having the possibility of mods to fix them. They patched some of the problems since release, but yeah the slowdown is still there. My main problems with it: -Slowdown, which you honestly get used to -Touch controls are very finicky. A lot of the time Clicking and Dragging is more accurate than just trying to click but the game doesn't tell you this. -The "additional" content they added in the PSP that was multiplayer stuff was removed. All the rewards for it are given just by beating the game, and it's absolutely overpowered stuff that is better than anything else you can find in the game. For some weapons they add like 3 additional tiers above the "super" weapons. This is all offset by the fact that I have FFT on my phone whenever I feel like it and I beat the whole thing

I couldn't tell if there was much of a difference with the hidden characters but Balthier is very, very good. His default skillset is Mustadio+Upgraded Thief+A move that basically deals double damage. He can equip Javelin 2 and kill anything in a hit (he's also very fast) or use a gun and kill stuff across the map.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:Take this with a grain of salt because I haven't played it, but everything about the Vita version of the game makes it seem like it's substantially less challenging than the original, which already wasn't a super hard game or anything. If the person is specifically seeking a challenge, then maybe P4 Golden isn't the best game to play. You can up the game's difficulty, but doing so doesn't change any of the things that make it easier, and only adds to the enemy's health and damage, only serving to make the fights take longer. The game gives you more chances to break it, but if you're not grinding golden hands in between dungeons or getting lucky with shuffle time/random skill change to get overpowered skills early on it's challenging even on normal. I played P4 once already and I had a very tough time in Golden until I leveled from 48-60 in one dungeon trip. The changes they've made feel like FF5 to me. The game is still challenging if you don't know what you're doing, but if you do you can turn yourself into a mini-god which some people really like in their RPGs. Anyway Hard Mode makes you get less experience, less gold, and on top of that even if you grind to get to the same level as Normal you'll do less damage and take more. If you're really worried about an easy game you can play on that. THE AWESOME GHOST fucked around with this message at 07:35 on Dec 6, 2012 |
