Trasson posted:It's worth noting that as much as the PC port is an abomination unto visual design and interface (and bonus content), there's a really important thing to remember. They fixed the visual design abomination. However nothing can fix the bonus content, short of taking the Wargames strategy of not playing the bonus content.

EponymousMrYar posted:That's nothing. I thought an upcoming character's victory pose had them pulling out a smiling duck and showing it off for the longest time until my brain recontextualized what was going on. I used to see it as him holding a feather capped beret... which also made no sense since he doesn't wear a hat either. Like this, but blue.

Alxprit posted:Regarding good video game chancellors, the one in Super Mario RPG is just fine. (Why do I keep bringing this game up) The Chancellor of Tycoon also didn't try anything. Probably because he knew he was already the De Facto ruler with Lenna always off saving animals and getting poisoned and Faris not wanting to be royalty.

A Pleasant Hug posted:I always figured that, since the Dragon Tank destroyed the bridge to the prison tower, that this bridge happens to be somewhere above the throne room. So the Chancellor and his two soldiers just let themselves fall, cushion their fall with the scrap-heap dragon tank, and drop into the throne room via a window. Young me rolled with that. That was also my interpretation.

LiefKatano posted:For the scientist having the best Magic stat, I was thinking more along the lines of the normal "Intelligence" stat, which usually affects the potency of magic and/or your MP pool. Lucca's the smartest of the bunch, so she'd have the best magic. My interpretation of the INT stat how you're talking about is "you know exactly how to gently caress poo poo up" and the Spirit/Mind/whatever white mage quivalent is "you know how to fix poo poo up." As for Robo it could just be hardware limitations. Laser photon emitters are only so precise and things like that. Then again that doesn't explain how just shoving magic tabs in his grill would make them better.

You are wrong e:fb second edit to justify that more: The elevators here are just with enemies already shown. Even now, 20 years later I still can't fully parse what the Thrasher/Lasher enemies are supposed to be. I know they've got basically a hockey mask on and hunched over, but until maybe 5 years ago I always thought they were toad warriors or something.

I think they butchered the music too, a patch allows you to go back to the original though. As for CT, I'm not sure it is a reserved honor. The FFV and FFVI mobile ports are very good competitors. Instead of merely screwing up the sprites, they chose with malus aforethought to change the sprites.

Mega64 posted:My main beef with it is (Chrono Trigger/Cross spoilers) there's nothing in Trigger to really suggest any rift between Guardia and Porre other than maybe "mayor is greedy" which we fixed anyway, and in Cross they just say "Dalton convinces Porre to conquer Guardia" without really going into how he did it, which makes the whole thing jarring as hell and ends up feeling like a cheap and lazy way to eliminate Crono and Marle for little more than shock value. If they had bothered fleshing out that part more, to give some valid reasons why Porre might be resentful of Guardia or want more power or Dalton using his powers of burping and summoning Golems to win over Porre or really anything, it would've worked a lot better. Alternatively, just set Cross 50 years later or something, after they die of natural causes which is a certainty, rather than Dalton doing anything remotely dangerous with them around.

Foul Ole Ron posted:I also didn't like the Suikoden esk, multiple potential party members. The thing that bothers me about comparing Cross with Suikoden is that Suikoden has 6 character slots, which usually has at the worst case maybe half the slots tied up with a given plot thread. You usually have 5 characters to rotate in and out. Maybe only 60 of the 108 are playable, and the game is built to get the random town crier or squirrel you pick up to get back on the level curve. The drat games even do character combo attacks better than Cross. Cross did exactly none of that right. The worst Suikoden does is they might have as many as 3 Pierre like characters in a given game. Also Cross does have a pretty good OST, but it has the worst battle theme that I can think of. So yeah, if you listen to the music, its fine but if you play the game its a bit much.

Same, and back then with previous games being just another sword because of graphical limitations or "knife" because of localizations and just thought it was a Final Fantasy thing and left it at that.

On the other hand, Marle and Frog can resolve their problems directly without going to a non-standard gate, and if they were to use the gates, would they still be them? Would Marle still flee from the castle and a strict father if her younger self knew her dad was paying attention to her and her mother in the final days? Would Frog suddenly showing up before Cyrus dies and saving his past self with Masamune 2 do anything good? Young Lucca saw the dangers of unknown technology either way and resolved to learn no matter what.

I don't think I mentioned it lately, but Uematsu must have sold his soul like 6 times over to be able to do some of the music he's done. To Far Away Times counts for at least 2 of those transactions.

EponymousMrYar posted:I keep bringing it up, but one of the sub-themes of Chrono Cross is a typical pro-environmentalism message that the game just does not do well. At all. And it's 100% Cross's fault on this one. Not to mention that the game at least triples down on that. The end just hammers on the "humans are bad, you belong dead!" like a... dead horse. The real dumb thing about the environmental message? The game takes place in 99% pristine tropical islands. Biggest city may have about 200 people in it (honestly like 30NPCs). Humans weren't the planet raping trash in this region, 100% dwarven dickishness. e: also whoever translated the game has a huge thirst for "enmity." Ran their finger down a thesaurus entry for hate, and just cntl-F'd almost every instance to "enmity" FeyerbrandX fucked around with this message at 01:48 on Oct 16, 2018 |

Speaking of L99 Ayla critting for max damage, Her fist, to Iron Fist, to Bronze Fist as she levels. Bronze fist does max damage, while Iron Fist (Apparently level 72, but honestly I thought I got it sooner than that since I've never ground up to 99 and didn't think I've even gotten above 60 before). Iron Fist has a chance to inflict the chaos status.
