Was it any good?Was it kino before they went balls deep into roll slop?
It's fundamentally badly designed because it's a game about collecting golems to use in your party, but they also give you a full party of human characters that are stronger than the golems, and unlike golems, the humans only get stronger by participating in battle, so you're actively discouraged from actually using the golems.
>>751302770There are basically two interesting things about this game. 1, the Vanguard boss from Demon's Souls was a reused model from this game's golem system. 2, Anor Londo in Dark Souls seems to have been partially inspired by the London map in this game. Otherwise it reuses a ton of slightly modified assets from older games like Shadow Tower Abyss, so thats cute.
I love these generic forgotten PS3-era RPGs to be honest
>>751303214three
>>751302770What >>751303154 saidbut it also has the funniest/coolest gay characters in video games
>>751303231BasedFor me it's Trinity Zill O'll
>>751302770Got it out for like $5 out of a bargain bin and don't really remember anything about it other than being pretty funny
>>751302770It's sad that these old Fromsoftware games wont get new entries anymore because they are stuck in the rollslop sweatshop. They are far from being perfect and polished but they had soul
>>751303154Also, as a halfassed attempt to force you to use different characters they threw in that retarded vitality points stat that drains after each battle and if it hits zero that character starts each battle with only one HP.
>>751303231>All those NIS/Idea Factory slop>All those experimental jrpgs >some legit bangers than spawned franchises to this day like trailsBros... we didn't know how good we had it..
>>751303542Evergrace is abysmal dogshit compared to other legacy Fromsoft titlesYour brain is rotten by contrarianism
>>751303874they're still remastering Resonance to this very day
>>751304125Hi, Mitsubishi-san
>>751303295>EX + 0!>EX + 0!>EX + 0!>EX + 0!
>>751304130>$10 DLC for an FPS and resolution patchWhat the fuck were they thinking?
>>751304547old japanese games always use FPS for game clock so patching that out probably took more man-hours than you might think.
>>751302770It's very soulful and atmospheric in that janky "this feels like a game from a forgotten lost demo disc left behind by aliens that was never meant to be seen by anyone" way that all old fromsoft games feel.Great OST and great views in some locations.You can basically collect pokemon, those are the golems you fight.There's a tanned loli in skimpy a cowboy costume.And there is a casino after the first tutorial stage once you get to the city.That's about it for positives.The rest is about the same for all low budget jrpgs of this era, it's basically a corridor simulator with random encounters and very basic puzzles, you go from room to room, pull a level, open a chest, get to the end and fight the boss.The gameplay is kinda strange because it's sort of like MMBN where you position yourself on a small grid and your attacks have specific squares they hit but in action it's pretty mindless and you just pick best moves and after a while of getting good skills just wipe battles.The english dub is also kind of hilarious because one of the party members is a flamboyant gay boy doing the gayest possible voice lusting over the dumb as rocks MC. (not for long though)So if you don't mind those then the game is kinda worth it, it's not too remarkable but not unremarkable either, personally I like it but it might be too boring if you're not fascinated by that weird old fromsoft jank to push through a somewhat generic jrpg.
>>751305070Also forgot to mention but the ps3 and 360 version are very different visually.The models, textures, lighting, cel shading, environment details all got changed pretty drastically in the ps3 release.Personally I prefer how the 360 version looks better.
>>751303542My brother, Evergrace is soul incarnate.Recently went through both 1 and 2 and read the novels/manga, cash money stuff.Went through all of shadow tower in 1 and got the moonlight blades too.The ost has been on my playlist ever since.>>751304125Soulless golem poisoned by irony and unable to enjoy anything, having coal for a heart doesn't make you cool, it makes you a lame and edgy child.
What would EA sequel/remake by modern From look like?
>>751306751>you didn’t love a confused objectively low quality launch title more interesting for its place in Fromsoft history than as a game on its own means you are irony poisoned and hate everythingYou are genuinely mentally ill, anon.
>>751307115E33 gameplay
>>751307317Yeah yeah go be edgy about how you hate shit you never actually played because your favorite youtuber told you to somewhere else.
>>751307409not that anon, but i played that shit at launch and it was poop from a butt.
>>751307409I played through the whole game and I never said I hate it, retard.
Tried playing EA on 360.Went into a sewer, blank level, no way to go back or forward, soft locked.Same kind of shit happened with Blue Dragon. Just froze each time I tried playing it, not even digital downloads worked.I almost became a jrpg fag, but now I just play PoE and Diablo 2.
>>751307115Well it wouldn't start with introducing Yuki by having her flash a dozen pantyshots in different camera angles, that's for sure.
>>751303154What the fuck is her problem?
>>751308790she's a tsundereit was a common anime trope at the time for the girls to beat up the guys they like (see asuka)
>>751303154Okay so pro tip, DO NOT use the golems correct?
>>751308865The game isn't hard enough to worry about that.You can use golems just fine, they're pretty cool.
>>751308865Well you can use them since the game isn't particularly hard, and it's probably more fun to use them, but you have to be able to ignore knowing that you're playing suboptimally by not levelling the human characters.
>>751305070>official art btwhttps://archive.org/details/em-premium-archive/mode/2upMiyazaki's foot fetish had influence even before he became a big shot at the company
One thing I remember about the game was the gay party member
>>751311589yeah, makoto
>>751302770It's fun.
>>751307843it was a different timea better time
>>751302770>Was it any good?It's peak soulful fromjank
>>751305070>And there is a casino I will now play your game.
>>751303154This+ gambling is super easy to cheat for growthI dropped it when it gave me some cool asian chick and there was no reason at all to use her MC's powers only being used in set fights for the most part was lame too
>>751320130it's not that serious manit's a single player jrpg, not some esportsyou play it for fun
Is Lost Kingdoms any good? Btw I think everyone who says “rollslop” is subhuman
The gay character is very funny. He's extremely gay. https://youtu.be/z43NFPLuDm8
>>751320370No shit, and it was not fun
>>751311589>>751313557he zesty as fuck
>>751320470>Btw I think everyone who says “rollslop” is subhumanit's just edgy teens baiting for attention because all they can do is parrot stuff they hear online, they're not yet conscious enough to form own thought>Is Lost Kingdoms any good? Yes, pretty good.Very unique game. (as all older fromsoft titles are)It's mission based so you set out on a stage with a set number of cards in a deck and once you run out it's gameover, so you try to get to the end with what you have and eventually tailor and build a good deck, you also can capture enemies like pokemon to get their cards (but it's hard, and I don't think they ever teach it? you might need to look it up)But other than that it's what you'd expect, fight stuff, kill bosses, progress story.The music is very good, the atmosphere and the levels are also very nice and it has that cool old fromsoft feel of projects made by people who wanted to make them and not trying to appeal to any kind of investor.The MC is also super cute.
>>751320669i had fun
>>751320767I’m sold. I was between this or Baten Kaitos for my next game, and I think I’m leaning towards this
>>751320821so did u >>751320850bich whyd u ignore my post
>>7513045474k fags still always pay. About as dumb as EA sports fans.
>>751320850Kaitos is also very good, somewhat similar in the card aspect but much more story focused.The gameplay there is turn based though, I'd recommend both honestly, they're good.

>>751321129Old FS stuff had so much soul.
>>751321243
>>751304130I got filtered in ROF by the painting boss back in the day having 10 times more health than anything around it. If it didn't feel so grindy and railroaded you into playing how the game wanted you to play or else battles would take 10-20 minutes I would have bought it again on PC. Still one of the most memorable jrpgs from that decade regardless, though
>>751321684consider playing its prequel
>>751307843>white pantiescute
>>751303874Most of these games were not good, just better than nothing.
>>751324161Like 2 or 3 are those are not good, the rest are great.
>>751303874Man I wish I could go back as an adult and just relish how good we had it.
>>751302770I hope they remake this, creepy as fuck scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.
>>751325829?Why can't you?I play old games as an adult all the time, it's great.
I enjoyed it but I was mostly playing it for the easy achievements.
>>751326068I found it more annoying to play, the story seemed cool though but after the ship it goes into a weird direction where you gotta find and remember a lot of different items and paths.It was like playing some old obtuse sierra point and click adventure game a-la king's quest but in real time with tank controls and shit trying to kill you when you run around looking for a save spot.
>>751302770They did several, there's one where you summon cards on the GameCubehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Kingdoms
>>751326280Oh yeah I forgot about that part, still switching lights on and off and creepy haunted ghost ship, is a great setting horror genre lacks
>>751302770forgot all about thisi remember picking it up just because there wasnt a lot of rpgs on the 360 but it wasnt that goodif you want a good older fromsoft game they also did 3d dot game heroes which was a pretty fun zelda clone
>>751306751I'm playing through Shadow Tower right now. How do you get the Moonlight Blade? I made it all the way to the mouth door at the bottom.
>>751326404Lost kingdoms 1 and 2 are great games, a shame fromsoft will NEVER do anything but soulslop ever again
>>751326549Oh, no there is not moonlight blade in shadow tower.Shadow tower has the shadow katana that you get in beast world I think?That's kind of its version of it.I mean the shadow tower IN Evergrace lol.Evergrace has a post game final dungeon called the shadow tower, which is... in reference to the game shadow tower.And at the end you get the moonlight blade, in Evergrace.Sorry if that was confusing.
>>751302770>Just found out Fromsoft developed a JRPG???souls an King's Field games are JRPG's you retarded nigger
>>751302770>Just found out Fromsoft developed a JRPGyou mean like dark souls?
>>751326683Aw man you got me excited (but I'm also relieved because now I don't have to backtrack everywhere to find it).Yeah I managed to get Kagemaru from the nice lizard man but I don't like how it cancels out all your shine effects.While I have you, do you know where I'm supposed to duel the sexy horned lady after finding her in the Beast Realm?
>>751326796>>751326805jrpg like final fantasyturn based
>>751326912most final fantasy games arent turn based
>>751326796>>751326805>>751326912hmmmmmm Souls is ARPG not JRPG :)>inb4 so saying YS series is not JRPG?lalalalalala ''sucks dicks'' i can't hear you! ''goes back to sucking cocks''
>>751326898I think she goes back to an early world where there's poison floor, I think the door to the left of the entrance to that where that dwarf was and she was in a crystal coffin originally or something?I think she's also somewhere around the fountain that heals you.I might be wrong on that and hallucinating it though, it's been a long while, but I know she moves to a few random places early on and you fight her a couple of times if you follow, they might be later and deeper in, probably better off finding it in some guide.
>>751303154I cant tell if you are being antisemitic or talking about actual in game golems.
>>751302770Wow japanese devs made a japanese game wowowoo
>>751320850As a cardfag, Baten was a bit of a miss. Felt weirdly simple. Perhaps I played Gears too recently and didn't want another "just there" combat system. Or perhaps I should have just jumped to the sequel. Would still rec the undub and not the shitty upscale ''remake''Lost Kingdoms is weird but fun. Wouldn't say it scratches too much of the card itch, but it's a neat idea. There's also the JP version for II that's essentially an updated 2.25 but last time I was looking for it, it was behind some discord >>751326549the rec00mp is almost done so I'm hyped to actually finish the game. It was great but the slow down drove me crazy. Still need to play Abyss
>>751327079The pokemon monsters you collect in the game are called golems.And the big mega bosses who unleash the plot by going rogue are called demon golems or something, they're like omnipotent super ai robots basically but look like super sentai villains who destroys the world.The plot in this game is really bizarre.
ENTERTHE BEST GAMES OLD FROMSOFT DIDhttps://youtu.be/kbV_uHluZbk?si=ULo62gmMWDMSOhoO
>>751327296I played through them recently, I really like them but they feel unfinished or underbaked.Final bosses are kinda underwhelming and the story ends abruptly without really expanding on or explaining what was going on.I know it expect you to know they myth it's based on but it still feels odd.I also didn't expect the gameplay to be so aracadey.Again, as all old fromsoft games it's filled with a lot of great and unique ideas and soulful presentation but feels kinda undercooked.
>>751326128I mean, I play old games all the time, but I can't go back and experience the culture (gaming and otherwise) that existed from the mid 2000s to early 2010s anymore, nor can I relive a lot of the friendships that made those gaming experiences magical. That shit's just gone and I miss it. I miss it a lot.
>>751304547That you'll return fire for "ACTUAL 4K TEXTURES" in your 4K remaster with your trusty Wallet.But all you have are base textures.
>>751327136>the slow down drove me crazyIt was a little inconvenient but it only happened in a few rooms. Barely a problem, really. The only thing I'd want a recomp to fix is the loading screen after equipping new items and the detailed equipment screen taking a while to spawn everything.
>>751327474Oh, sure.I guess, still though it's not all gone.I still play phantasy star online on gamecube and monster hunter 1/2 on ps2 on private servers with random japanese salarymen and we have a lot of fun.Feels like old times.
>>751327609Phantasy star online on dreamcast I mean fuck, it's too late for me to still be posting.I need to get some sleep.
>>751327609>>751327723Sounds fun. I got to try that. It sounds like a great way to spend a weekend and have fun. good night anon.
