I'm working my way through my RPG backlog and The Legend of Dragoon is more engaging than I remember. The story is pretty good so far, even with the hanky translation.

The music is great. The graphics are pretty drat good too. The sprite work sucks but that's true for most PS1 games and I always preferred 16 bit sprite work over early 3D anyway.

Kelsey Grammer is an action star?

He was in X-Men 20 years ago.

I don't remember Beast doing all that much though, but I also don't remember much of the x-men films except how bad 3 is

I think all he did was appear on a newscast, but since X-Men is an action movie that makes Kelsey Grammar an action star. 20 years ago.

Still slowly plugging along at The Legend of Dragoon because drat is the combat slow but I unironically love this game. First we're attacked by a dragon, then we take revenge for our destroyed hometown and rescue our childhood crush from prison, next we defend a fortress from a giant and kill a firebird for being in our way and now we're powerful enough to kill that dragon and steal it's powers. It's making the opening of FF8 feel slow in comparison.

Wasn't the opening of FF8...actually fairly slow?

Probably. I'm going off a 20 year old memory and the LP on the archive.

I just can't remember the last FF I played that had a fast-paced opening, and many people compare this game to that series.

I stayed up way too late last night seeing if I can get a PS2 emulator working on my Surface Pro 4. I can, and now I can play Dynasty Tactics in bed. 😀

Neat. I'm guessing the Ratchet games are too demanding?

No clue since I never played those games.

Technically I haven't played Dynasty Tactics yet, but it loaded with no issues and there was no stuttering during the opening FMV so I'm hopeful.

I forgot how good that game looks. I'd play it on native hardware if I trusted eBay sellers with 20 year old discs.

Also the Surface is a beast. I've had no issues emulating anything but the PS2 is the most demanding I've tried.

PS2 emulation is working great on a Surface Pro 4. Dynasty Tactics and Way of the Samurai both load quickly and seem to run well in the brief tests I gave them. I didn't notice any lag or frameskips and both looked beautiful in fullscreen. Playing these on a tablet is the closest I'll ever get to the ideal handheld experience.

Hey thanks!

I feel like I could just call The Legend of Dragoon anime and bingo, but I feel like that would go against the spirit of the game. Then again, every game I like is anime because every JRPG is anime by default. Even that one you think is cool.

Oh, and by now I've made like 3 effort posts about LoD which is both a little known game and a bad game, so I guess I lied and bingo.

The Legend of Dragoon is one of my favorite games now that I've played it. It's still bad with the 15 QTEs per combat and the jank translation. I would pay an exorbitant amount for a remake with a better translation and a revamped battle system. It doesn't even have to be open world.

I am now convinced you're an assassin sent to kill me via posting

I'm sorry we disagree?

Like, I could even see keeping the Addition system but instead of being a series of epileptic inducing squares maybe make it some kind of timed combo system or something.

It's a pipe dream anyway since it will probably never be remade and I doubt it would come out on a system I would own.

I'm thinking of getting a Vita, mostly to have a better handheld emulator than the PSP, but what are some good turn-based S/RPGs and Visual Novels for it? Not sure if a $100+ used system is worth it otherwise.

yggdra union, riviera the promised land, final fantasy x and x-2 hd, tactics ogre, final fantasy tactics, jeanne d'arc, trails in the sky, trails of cold steel, persona 3 and 4 i suppose, i haven't played them but i think the atelier dusk games are well regarded?, a whole bunch of ps1 games

i realize most of those are psp games but idk what you've already played. most of the vita rpgs i'm aware of are action rather than turn-based (or are on the skeevier side)
The PSP games on my PSP are Persona 3 and Valkyria Chronicles 3 translated. It mostly exists as a SNES and GBA emulator, but a Vita gives me a better SNES emulator. I'm also thinking of modding my 3DS which will give me a better SNES emulator as well as letting me play some 3/DS games I otherwise can't but I'm wary of modding it without a backup. The Trails of games interest me, are they Vita only? I already have the Final Fantasies on the Switch.

I really need to stop looking at more emulators since my backlog is already pretty long.

The Legend of Dragoon
3 Fire Emblems
3 Final Fantasies
2 Valkyria Chronicles
Bravely Second
Radiant Historia
DQXI

And that's not counting the emulated only games. I love RPGs but I only get an hour or two every evening if I even play that day.

I beat Steamworld Dig 2 today. It was pretty good! A lot more going on than Dig 1, which scratched an itch for me so this game scratched that itch even harder. Though I think every Metroidvania/exploratory platformer needs some way to manually annotate your map.

I keep meaning to try out the Dig games even though I dislike Metroidvanias. I loved Quest and just double-dipped on Heist on my 3DS as I think the second screen will be more useful.

I really enjoy what Image & Form has put out and I hope their new game shows up soon.

Just freeze it. It'll be fine for the next batch.
