Could just be me but as a first time player I don't feel like exploring when I have a time limit to get something I don't know where is.
Hasn't soured me on it yet but lots of these old games I missed out on are pretty hard to grow accustomed to.

Its not hard, just max out agility if you feel like actually fighting anything and find necropolis.

They do, it's called digital tweening and it's soooooo uncanny valley. It makes everything look just a little undulating. I can't understand how people like it, I guess aside from that it's super cheap to produce 60 faked "frames" of sprite movement per second.

I don’t mean tweening. I mean replicate the look of old sprite art as if animated by hand, frame by frame.

Maybe with a half decent localization I'd actually finish Legend of Dragoon. I think that's the only JRPG where a lovely translation kept me from finishing it.

The lovely Absolutely Everything kept me from finishing FF8, so I played Legend of Dragoon instead. :colbert: I stand by this choice, and refuse to go back and finish FF8.

It was a good game and I had fun. There was a dragon who was a stealth jet, and The Evil Monster The Hero Is SWORN To Destroy turned out to be something more interesting than just a boss. And I like that it found a way to kill off or kidnap characters for story reasons without wasting all the time you put into leveling them (because you can just give the rock to a new person and now they are that dragoon).

I didn't like the randomized rules they would throw in. I probably could've gotten used to it, but I just moved on.

The only good not-final fantasy JRPG is the Not Final Fantasy The Last Story

i mean yeah it was on the wii but a) Sakaguchi directing and b) Uematsu composing

everyone who liked Lost Odyssey for some reason: same company, same people. Mistwalker's greatest hit.

I liked The Last Story but I think modern audiences generally wouldn't. It has lots those fairy tale plot beats that many people these days seem to cynically dismiss as being overplayed.

I liked it a lot less than Lost Odyssey. Pretty fun to play, though. Gated way too much stat progression behind NG+.

all i can think of when i think Lost Odyssey is all the poo poo stories and Jansen.

Jansen.

Jansen.

if anyone liked Jansen over anyone in the Last Story, even Lowell, something went wrong

also the last story doesn't make you read a poo poo book every 10 minutes

Because it's just sort of forgettable. The systems are the exact same and some poo poo is improved but it just leaves 0 impression. I didn't even know I beat it and sunk 100+ hours into it until I checked my save file just now. It's that unmemorable.

it's too easy though. there's a lower-level run that's challenging but it's a tightrope between regular difficulty and impossible; armor and your magic level matter too much

i feel like you've misread his character, friend. jansen is a hedonist, but he has a heart of gold. he freezes the steam to let the bird fly away because he doesn't want it to get hurt... nobody is watching, to his knowledge; he does it because it's the right thing to do.

Golden Suns are pretty and have a real fun class system, plus good dungeon design and music, but the plot is generic as all hell and while the combat is decent, the encounter rate is kinda high. I think good spritework is basically ageless.
