>>12276368
>Looks ugly as sin
This is mostly due to newer versions (like on Switch 1/2 NOS) having the worst color output possible, I assure you. That's right, everything on the NOS service is purposely made to look like crap because of some idiot's opinion on how they should look; but it's an objective fact that CRTs had better color options and Nintendo themselves advertised their games at those highly saturated settings, so I know it's a fact.

Is FF1 or FF2 more fun? I want a fairly short JRPG
16 replies omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>12275018
FFV, right, anon. The game was arguably the first FF where they built fun systems. And it's crazy how well it aged. But it's not exactly an exception. It falls into the anti-fun JRPG thing of gatekeeping mechanics. 95 was crazy because it was like “get down to the fun mentality.” CT, Pokemon, SMRPG, and other JRPGs don't waste your time. You go straight to the fun “muh zoomer brain.” I advocate for ball busting WRPGs like Ultima, HOHM, or Wizardry. It's about having systems that allow player expression or at least are fun. Even the oldest WRPGs allowed for a lot of expression. Not that JRPGs don't still insist on doing that, but the first 10 hours of FFVII are vastly different from the first 10 hours of FFI-VI.
>>
FF2 loves to pull dumb shit that feels like a game dev playing a joke on you.
>endgame encounters right next to the area you walk through to get to the second town
>weapons are weaker than fistfighting for a significant portion of the game
>the spell that heals statuses doesn't heal statuses properly until you cast it on a (likely healthy) partymember dozens of times
>shit, most of the "white magic" doesn't function properly unless you grind the hell out of it
>the spell that half the plot builds up to just doesn't function properly and it's straight up intentional design choice
>pic related in every dungeon

All that being said I'd still much rather play FF2 over FF3.
>>
>>12274701
FF1 is a great glimpse into what the formula was originally about, though. Overworld exploration and traversal is a big deal, for example. It's there's a lot of emphasis on the enemies and resource management.
>>
>>12275336
>WRPGs
RPGlet detected. There's no such thing as a WRPG. jRPGs are a category of RPGs, they have a style that become more pronounced. Ultima and Wizardry and the Goldbox games and Dungeon Master are very different games.
>>
>>12276502
Irony alarm didnt go off at all claiming that jrpgs are a genre in the same breath as wrpgs are actually really unique and different?

Just got through casual playthroughs of DKC1 and 2, remembered 3 not being as good but hadn't played it in probably over 2 decades, but holy shit, I was not expecting it to be so fucking bad. It was so bad I stopped almost immediately and then memory-holed it, so now I forgot how exactly it's bad all over again, but don't care to find out.
>>
>>12274896
DKC3s first 2 worlds are pretty meh especially the first 1, it actually picks up quite a lot when you get to world 3/4.
Opening the game with those tubas farting in your ears on level 1 was a pretty weird choice.

Robin Hood is your standard Virgin Interactive game. Nice graphics and sound but the controls need more polish. But Virgin titles are always worth playing for the eye candy.
Willow is a very well made Zelda clone with really nice graphics and sound.
