Romance Saga 2 any good
original yea. skip the remake unless you like octopath games
>>729895876The remake is casualized slop. Just play the original.
Remake was made easier how? Everyone was talking up how hard it was but i only struggled a little bit during one part
>>729895876Yeah, pretty good for a first SaGa game experience.
>>729895994>>729896050why are you eternally contrarian faggots
>>729896158as much as i love saga, they're just a little bit harder than your FFs/DQs. finding an actually hard JRPG is next to impossible
>>729896158it's not easier. it just concentrated all the difficulty in specific sections of the game which is bosses on higher difficulties. in original the difficulty is consistent (maybe aside from few jumps in random encounter upgrades like hellhounds raping you out of nowhere)
>japanese video game>hard
Which runs best, Switch 2 or PS4?
>>729896510PC
>>729895876The game has no story. If you like meandering around aimlessly where all you do is get into repetitive battles go ahead.
>>729896631this true?
>>729896631The game has no story.yeah because it hasnt happened yet. the story is the game.
It's great, was my 2024 GOTY.
>>729895994>>729896050I know the remakes/remasters are better overall, but how are the Super Famicom SaGa games?
>>729896696No.The main story is that you're trying to defeat the Seven Heroes and restore peace to the world.The thing is that you can deal with the 7 in any order due to the game being so open-ended, and each of their stories is almost entirely self contained, so people confuse "7 smaller stories within a larger one" with "no story".
>>729896510Switch 2
>>729895876Best SaGa game, but still not on the level of Final Fantasy / Persona
>>729898231holy shit is there more fanservice like this?
>>729898562Yes.All the girl designs are amazing.
>>729895876SaGa schizos will gaslight you to believing this game isn't good because it's "casualized". It's actually quite faithful except the game actually explains its systems and gives you hints on what to do vs. running around with your head cut off. This and Emerald Beyond are the only playable games in the series.
>>729898664It's one person and he never even played the original. They're both good games.
>>729898697the guy you quoted never played the original
>>729898741I mean the original is fucking awful so lol
>>729898741I've played Romansing Saga 3, minstrelSong, SaGa Frontier, and Unlimited SaGa. They're all shit. Pattern recognition should tell you every other game are trash.
I'm glad this game is good.
>>729898231>>729898645good to know the game doesnt look like the shit youtube reviews
>>729895994>>729896050>>729896382consistently read that the original version of this game is borderline broken and can be easily softlocked, and the remake has modes that are harder than it anyways
kinothey did a fantastic job with the remake
>>729898981it has less guardrails but it's also a fairly short game. and the game was never meant to be omg so hard dark souls of jrpg. only hard part is the final boss which you can cheese if you cant do it normally. the remake is flanderized parody game where every boss has prescribed mechanics and bunch of cringe ass cutscenes.
>>729895876>Romance Saga 2 any goodI liked it.
>>729895876Wow another high effort rpg thread
>>729899242sup faggot, you're still at it?
the remake is God tier, ignore the schizo autist. Just play it, op. the type of faggot that's seething about it wouldn't be happy with a remake under any circumstances even if the game literally sucked him to completion every time he launches it.
I'm getting it once it hits 50~60%.
>>729897919The actual super Famicom versions of the Romancing trilogy? Pretty good, specially 2. But obviously they're Super Famicom games, with all that implies. In any case, something great about the Super Famicom games is that they have a pretty active romhacking scene, similar or even bigger than Super Metroid or GBA Fire Emblem games.
>>729895876The remake is good. And I also have played the original so you can't call me a fake fan either. There are some nice additions to the remake, such as not needing to LP-kill party members to change your retinue anymore, and the game offers harder fights in a form of superbosses in post-game as well as Romancing difficulty. The Dread Queen is no joke in that mode and you need make good use of evasion techs, elemental immunities, elemental attacks that disrupt dark leylines so that the Dread Queen loses her regenerative heal. In exchange for Romancing's nature of being difficult, it forces you to play a certain way, which some people may not like. In the remaster's Dread Queen fight, you can either play defensively with Mu Palisade formation, or offensively with Rapid Stream/Dragon Stance formation. Romancing difficulty bloated the HP so much that if you want to end fights quickly, you want to let the Comroon volcano erupt and obtain Umbrology. There is a specific challenge however, and Japanese players call it "Salamancing" difficulty. As the name suggests, you play on Romancing difficulty and saving the Salamanders, locking you out of using Umbrology.Overall, I think the game is great, but I also do wish it kept some stuff in the remake, such as LP damage and attacking after using commands for all characters instead of individual characters. LP damage is still in the remake but it only happened to me on Romancing difficulty and it's still a rare occurrence. Despite the efforts of trying to explain the game's systems, the thing that needed explaining the most which are Spark Types aren't explained well in the game. The remake will tell you which techs a character can or cannot spark but it won't tell you their spark type, which is essential in knowing which techs they can spark. A simple way to do this for example is to implement UI which shows their weapon affinity which should give you a general idea on which weapons they're good at sparking.
>>729899421you mad mr troonie?
>>729900941I would also add that Romancing difficulty doesn't really allow the player to use certain weapon types. A lot of attacks one shot your party member even with the best armor in that game, so the only way to avoid the damage is learning an evasion tech or use Guards. This means you're already gimping yourself in that mode by using 2-handed weapons which sucks because I like using 2-handed weapons like Greatswords and Lances and Bows. I also don't like how the body armor slot doesn't allow for wearing both Heavy Armor and Clothing in the remake. This means I can't equip Dragon Armor and Power Belt at the same time, I have to choose between one of them. It's more balanced I suppose.
>>729895876It's fun for awhile but you eventually realize the game is very on rails, has a poor story and most of your choices don't matter. 7/10 at best.
>>729895876The only that sucks is that the game won't allow you to defeat 4 or more heroes with Gerard. Only 3:(
>>729901808Is it even possible to defeat more than 4 Heroes with Gerard? By the time you annex Ludon, you already have 10 Event Points so the next fight with one of the Heroes would guarantee a time skip.
>>729895876The remake is good, but can the remake let you beat the game without the Final Emperor?
>>729902220>year 3267How?
>>729902307You can guarantee a time skip for as little as having 8 Event Points as long as you engage in 240 battles or more. The max amount of years for a time skip is 250 years and you can experience a time skip 12 times at most. So the max year in the remake is 4061 and the max year in the remaster is 1001 + (250 * 12) + (1 * Events that add 1 year upon completion).
>>729901591>It's fun for awhile but you eventually realize the game is very on rails, has a poor story and most of your choices don't matter. 7/10 at best.is this true?
>>729903037It's on rails in a sense that your endgoal is going to be the same where you have to end the Seven Heroes. The freeform scenario of the game is more akin to beating a dungeon in any order in A Link to the Past, but the endgame still has you beating Ganon.
>>729903037The complete opposite.The entire game is open, you can do pretty much every single quest in any order you want, and quests have multiple outcomes depending on the choices you make within.For example, early on you find a group of martial artists that ask your help in beating a slime since their punching attacks don't work against it. They want you to do this so they can beat the big boss at the end of the cave to restore their glory.You then go to the cave and beat the slime, and are given the option to continue and beat the boss yourself.If you don't, you tell the martial artists the cave's clear, they go and beat the boss, and they befriend you and join your empire.If you do, you get the rewards at the end of the cave, but the martial artists get pissed, you have to kill them, and you can't recruit martial artists until much later on.
