>game hits you with instant soul the moment you boot it
The only thing this game needed was a way to speed up time without just sitting there and a second save point added somewhere else where it wouldn't potentially trigger story progression and it would be perfect.
>>724893958wow I thought this was a ps3 era game from how brown these screenshots are, but it's ps2. huh. got ahead of the brown'n'bloom era
>>724893958cute sister
>>724893958WHERE THE FUCK IS IT TRI-ACE?
>>724896563
>>724897254needs more brown
>>724897254bottom is a bullshot is that part of the joke?
it's not just me that has to deal with bitch family
>>724893958This is one of my favorite games ever.
>>724897447Top is a PS4 game, what do you think?
>>724893958I really tried to like this game (and totally unrelated Threads of Fate), but I couldn't. :(
>>724897630oh shit I'm sorry
>>724893958The one game where I can say I want bigger world with even more stuff in it. Just more. MORE.
>>724896563>>724897254>>724897374PS3/360 had downgraded color space to make room for higher 720p/1080i resolution. It was also a trick to get better performance on late PS2 and PSP games.
>>724897254The irony is that I probably played with Gerard longer than I did with my final emperor because I was grinding to beat 3 heroes with him.
>optional dungeon is just a bunch of cut contentI knew that this game was unfinished but holy fuck!
>>724893958>>724897549What game?
>>724898078Radiata Stories
>>724897832so what you're saying is red doesn't make your games go faster, it's actually brown?
>>724897027BiowaredI guess most of the good devs formed Tri-Crescendo which went under quickly and the rest remained under Square
>>724897832lmfao
>>724893958The endings of this game upset the fuck out of me when I was a kid, but I can't remember why other than the faggot ass dragons being a thing.
>>724897832I remember when anons unironically believed things like this.>>724898393wtf is that real?
>npcs have schedules>have to wait for night to talk to one>have to wait for night again to do their quest>have to wait for night again to turn it...oh wait fuck you the main story railroads you out of town and you can't go back>Castle is a complete clusterfuck of a maze.>die to regular encounter that spams some electric bullshitThis really does not give me a good impression of this game.
>stalk little girl into her night job>she transforms into a stacy slut to sing to old men in a bar>the song is a bonus easter egghttps://youtu.be/Js7pcAMmZSACant get more soulful than this
>>724897832SNES also had far more colours than other consoles. Why it holds up so well.
https://www.mediafire.com/file/3rnjyr3shgf5usk/SLUS-21262_47B9B2FD+-+Radiata+Stories.pnach/filebunch of useful patches and codes, to remove ugly graphics, play in ultra or super ultrawide, 60fps, cheat codes, etc
>>724897689Sorry for what?
>>724898393>>724898492>>724898787Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, Shadow of Colossus, MGS3, etc all had worse colors than their previous games because they were pushing the hardware limits. Their remasters have better color grading due to being on vastly better hardware. Even emulators have options to upgrade the colors because your PCs GPU can do much better than original hardware. If you dont believe any of this shit then refer to the color specs of hdmi 2.1/displayport vs component/composite/scart.
>>724893958It had some really nice jokes and dialogue and the member system/npc time shedule was nice. The combat on the other hand was odd and story was a bit unfinished sadly.
>>724899294lol
>>724899294This is by far the most retarded post I have ever seen.
>>724899573no woman has ever said this to me.
>>724899406
>>724899294I have gametrailers flashbacks
>>724899294>Skyward Sword, Shadow of Colossus, MGS3, etc all had worse colors than their previous gamesthis isn't even true
>>724899249[A\Disable Game Protection Traps]patch=1,EE,0012181c,word,1400fffapatch=1,EE,00125004,word,1400fffapatch=1,EE,001250a4,word,1400fffapatch=1,EE,0014205c,word,1400fffaDoes this mean that your save is fucked if you ever turn the patches off?
I refuse to accept any of the endingsI'll forever hold to the manga as canon
>>724898657the girl wanted elf dick so you either have to betray your own race for twintail pussy or kill her.
>>724893958Why is she so angry? Did he jack off on her panties?
>>724899892I dunno if I've ever activated that one. I suppose I should have removed it. I use the dsable blur, 60fps, and ultrawide.
>>724897374i miss the brown era. we didn't know how good it was until it was gone. i'm fucking tired of games having max saturation and looking like someone threw up after blowing a unicorn
>>724899897How does the manga end?
>>724899940The girl did not WANT elf dick, as much as a fucking elf soul ended up inside her, which pretty much forced her to take the side of the non-humans.But all in all, the main culprit of it all is the retarded system that pushes for massive extinction just because Dragons said so.
>>724900130its simple, we kill the dragons.
>>724900070Pretty much a combo of the two endings, with the two Dragons agreeing to leave humanity alone. Still bittersweet, for although there's still humans and non-humans, people did die anyways.Plus Jack and Ridley get married and have two kids.
remake when
>>724900130You mentioning the mass extinction thing reminded me of most of the plot for both endings. I'm still mad even as an adult now.
>>724893958The art syle is just so good. Timeless graphics.
>>724900565Yeah, its fucking annoying.The system pretty much forced things to either>Everyone dies, and things get reset to 0.>Or, non humans get fucked completely, and humanity keeps on living as if nothing happened.And to make it more upsetting, either Jack dies and Ridley lives on as the new Gold DragonOr Ridley dies, and Jack lives on as a wandering hobo having completely disconnected from humanity.Again, why the manga ending is much better at resolving the mess
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D39wkyxOnvo>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLpoWf5HKT4The moment I realized the melody was the same, I unironically started to cry
>>724893958I've been wanting to play something on my Retroid Pocket 5. This might be it.
>>724897665sorry about your terminally shit taste
>>724901159what a bitch
>>724893958i seem to recall both endings sucked in their own ways
>>724893958Lemme guess. JRPG?
>>724898413tri crescendo is still alive and working on games
>>724898917>I have to engage with the world but am reading a guide>I get lost exploring and this is bad>I suck at video gamesTell me you're a zoomer without telling me you're a zoomer.
>>724898917as long as you dont go back to your bedroom the story wont railroad you btw
>>724897665Same. It has soul, looks great, have nice characters and so on, but the combat is pretty bad and the worst of all, I'm too autistic for a game like this.In JRPGs, when I know what I need to do next to progress the story, my autism makes me do literally everything else that can be done before that. Which, in this case, means spending hours upon hours recruiting characters. Following a guide, of course, otherwise it would be dozens of hours upon dozens of hours instead.My condition makes me unable to enjoy this kind of game, sadly.
>>724901159I love the day/night variants of songs a lot.
>have to choose between abandoning the most attractive hebe princess in gaming OR being stuck with literal shitskin third world party members that suck ass for the rest of the gameI went with ridley my first playthrough and whew lad talk about a let down. the game is at its best after you join vancoor theatre but before the split
>>724893958name and genre of game?
>>724903275Radiata Stories
>>724902637NTA but playing this game without a guide kind of sucks ass. You are gauranteed to miss out on at least half the roster even if youre being insanely thorough and thus have no shot at any of the guild leaders. or you just go with the elves and get the shit version of the game because of sweet knight cunny
>>724897665>tried
what other jrpg games besides this and threads of fate that have super charming artstyle, good characters and fun gameplay?
>be me >recently replayed radiata stories for the first time since it came out>hell yeah this time I will join the humans and genocide the browns>finally reach that point in the game where I get an all new experience>save file gets corruptedcool guess Ill finally see the other path 20 years from now. the beginning is such a slog
>>724903330Or you could play the game carefully over multiple playthroughs and not miss anything. There's a NG+ for that reason.
>>724903554rogue galaxy, rune factory, harvest moon, persona maybe
>>724903310i'll add it to my backlog
man what happened to tri ace. ps1 and ps2 era was so peak and then just... meh.
>>724903554Zwei II, Dual Hearts.
>>724893958This game has a decent sense of humor, wish I liked it enough to get to the part where you can help the monsters or not
>>724903554Barkeley Shut Up And Jam! Gaiden
>be at first town>going my own pace>time progress fuck youyeah, this game went right into the trash can
>>724904465go shit
>>724904465if you never go to sleep this isnt a problem
>>724903554eternal sonata though its locked to ps3/360 and I have clue if its easily to emulate these days
>>724904574It literally does in the first town. You get kicked out at a specific time without ever sleeping.
>>724905040oh you mean the dwarf village. theres nothing important to do anyway. the main castle town where all the recruitment happens has no time constraints
>>724893958I wanted this game so bad in high school because it looked like a lot of fun.>>724904290Ah Dual Hearts, or as my cousin described introduced it to me, 'Zelda on PS2'. I hated that animal sidekick a lot though, and the sounds he made were obnoxious. Still a fun game.
For me, it's Vitas.>>724897549The portraits all have a lot of charm but my favorite is how the theater knights take their helmet off. It's a nice little bonus for recruiting them.
>side with humans but your tsundere now mostly dere waifu dies>but humans also have A LOT of cute girls in their side like the twins>side with non-humans>all humans die but you get an immortal waifuthis was the hardest choice I've ever made in my entire life.
>>724905413It's not clear this is the case. You are supposed to do that 'guard the bar' quest for a dwarf but by the time you wait for the bar to open to start it and guard it and try to go back you get kicked out.
>>724905846why the fuck do faggots spoil shit like thiskill yourself
>>724906059ps2 game.
>>724899406>That endingThat's some heat he's packing.
>>724906059I feel your pain anon. yeah you should go reading a thread for a game you havent played but sometimes you just see something interesting and then boom untagged spoilers for the whole fucking thing. has killed my interest in trying out several classic games at this point
I have never sided with the non-humans ever. The town in this game is core to its identity.
>>724908765that's racist
A complete version of this game, with the manga endling included plus all the cut cutsceneshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCBeGn4ZPcscould easily become one of my favorite JRPGs. As it is, it feels like a missed opportunity to me.
>>724908765I would love for there to be a game that is like Radiata stories, but instead of branching into the absolute depressing side of the non-human/human path it just focuses on continuing to live in the town and doing guild requests. You can make routes out of whichever group of characters that you do the most requests for like if you do requests mostly for Thieves then you end up on the Thieves route.
>>724900450there are 2 different manga adaptations btw
>>724893958>instant game over if mc dies >bosses have unblockable supermoves that oneshot you>cant interrupt the attack and just have to pray the boss doesnt target the mcI remember liking this game but this was fucking bullshit
>>724903761it's been a long time but didn't they add some super secret armor's from the bonus dungeon boss fights they didn't actually carry over into NG+
Radiata is best vidya town. If you lives there, which guild you gonna join?
>>724893958>10/10 game becomes a 1/10 simply because of the Endings.So close to perfection.
I was upset that my disc refused to go past a certain point, never thought to buy another, kinda glad I did now reading about endings wtf
>>724910952iirc you need to play 3 times to get there
>>724911210The mage guild has the cutest
>>724912791endings are kino
radiata seems like one of those games I would play just because I like how it looksand I doso I should probably play it
>>724913653yes
>>724893958JRPGs sure suck these days
>>724911210all the vareth magic sluts definitely put out. they are like art school thots. olacian order has some some fine pussy but theyre too prude and act hard to get, like mormons. void skanks are brown skinned and have diseases, and vancoor whores are bull dyke girlbosses. the answer is clear
>>724913653its actually good game too, unlike say okami or jsrf purely carried by style
>>724917710>okami or jsrf purely carried by styleYou're a heretic. Hottest take ever.
game might have sucked but this was badasshttps://youtu.be/pCmPFacvvgo
>>724896563The game is supposed to look like an old book.
>>724917710nu/v/ hating on Okami just to sound cool is sad as fuck.
>>724921121>nu/v/lmao I played it on ps2 when it released and loved it. but going back to it is objectively fucking rough. issun never shuts up, the handholding never ends, the combat is shit
>>724899036>"precocious" little girl who transforms into a whore to adult menWhat the FUCK did they mean by this?
>>724900157>>724900220>>724900517Why do these facial animations seem so much more expressive than in modern jarpgis? What are they doing differently?
Any other games where you can kick and fight everybody?
>>724922375They had talent and passion unlike modern devs.
>>724922493Fable
>>724899036>>724922181You talk about "soul" all the time, but it's you who lost their soul, if sex is the only thing you can think about looking at a game as innocent as this.
i just remembered i have this on my ps2 hdd because of this thread. guess i should try it out finally.
>>724926341you've never played the game, it's got inneundo
>>724922181yeah she couldve just stayed in her loli form and got even more money, I dont get it.
>fuckhuge cast >can only control MClol
>>724927960I always thought that was weird>HYYYYYYYYYYAH
>>724897630Isn't romancing saga 2 also on the switch.
>>724903554the game that radiata reminded me the most of was brave fencer musashi on ps1
>>724927960Game is almost definitely rushedthe human route jumps around the story like an autistic kid
>>724900835>the boxart shows the sword from one route and the armor from another and NG+ doesn't let you carry it over>the route where jack doesn't condemn his friends, family and entire race to death is also the route where jack gets any character development, learns anything about the plot threads setup at the start and stops being bossed around by people who hate him like a cuckwhat a brutal game with a kawaii artstyle
>>724927960a lot of ps2 jrpgs did this for immersion
>>724908765>spent so much time recruiting all the top dogs of the guilds>what? you're chasing blonde nobility pussy?>yeah those guys you just recruited? they're your enemy nowas a kid I always thought there's some secret ending to unite everyone
>>724897254when i saw that killzone trailer for the first time i was completely befuddled by the graphics but now it looks like the sims 4
>>724903554Dark Cloud
H-he... he's built like me... he looks like me.I... thank you <3
>>724899249>>724899892Aren't these backed into the emulator by default? Could it be you're using a pre duckstation-like UI build?
>>724931318did he at least bang one of the thieves gang cuties?fucking fat fag
>>724930976Or because they didn't think of it yet, or they ran out of time for it.
>>724931428No. What are you talking about? afaik PCSX2 removed even the old included widescreen patches.
reminder
>>724932009I have no idea what that means and I am not even a zoomer.
>>724932009was that really a thing? I only remember some games having that in options.
>>724932291for some games>>724932179make graphics betterer on modern displays
>>724932550does progressive scan impact emulators?Do games that use it run at 2x fps or something?
>>724932550I see. Thank you for the delicious spooning.
>>724932940Yes, there are either patches to force it or you might have to use some other tools to do it, or in-game options like that.No... it has nothing to do with frames it's how many pixels are being shown.>>724932947np, I didn't know about it for a long time and it makes the game look a lot better
>>724932940its the difference between a 1080p movie and 1080i
Sex with thief girls
>>724893958this game ends on such a downer note for something so charming it actually kind of pisses me off a little
>>724899249Where do you find more of these kinds of patches for other games?
>>724894401It also needed a better way to track NPC movements around the map because finding them was a bitch.
>>724935471pcsx2 forums I guess, what games you got?
>>724931187I mean, even considering the downgrades from the trailers to release, it's still one of the best looking PS3 games, and it still looks better than many games today.It's just not very fun to play because it feels extremely sluggish even by console shooter standards.
>>724900069>tired of games having max saturation and looking like someone threw up after blowing a unicornName 5 within 10 seconds, or your penis will shrink by 1 inch tonight
>>724936257it can go inside?
>>724936297
The webms itt reminded me of how much I loved the character expressions. MC had a really fun walking animation too.
>>724935681It's also weird to emulate. It's going at stable 30FPS but it feels slow and unresponsive, like if it was actually running at 15FPS.
>>724939742No that's just how it was even on an actual PS3.
