I always found it weird that they made the mirror shield a post-game item

It's pretty exemplary of why it's bad. The mirror shield has no reason to exist. There's no reason to do the sidequests. Shrinking down isn't used to its maximum potential. It's a short, repetitive, backtrack heavy, gimmick of a game.

Which SH is your favorite, anon?

Mine is the first game. The atmosphere in SH1 is so great. The whole game feels so experimental, like the devs just let feeling guide them and did whatever felt right at the time.

I'm not sure if you guys are paid shills or just pathetic losers, but this shit is trash and if you play it you haven't played the real game.

If you watch some cheap remake of Citizen Kane, you didn't watch Citizen Kane. If you watch the shot for shot remake of Psycho, you didn't watch Psycho. If you watch a Casablanca remake, you didn't watch Casablanca. This is accepted truth in every field but Video Games, because most other mediums aren't so infested with pathetic shills who think media from 20 years ago is too challenging for them.

Rumors in general. Maybe they still exist, but they get easily and quickly proven or disproven nowadays thanks to data mining. Nothing will top the absolutely crazy rumor mill that was Pokemon, especially since a lot of insane shit that sounded like it was some made up bullshit from that kid whose uncle worked at Nintendo was actually real thanks to glitches.

I wish I didn't.

This Dreamcast is white just like me and has all the fucking games I enjoy the most. I met a girl on PSO back in the day, talked mad shit with niggers on Alien Front Online, and got some pink tight tender pussy on sega.net IRC.
Drinking 40s while playing NFL2K with the bros, running ChuChu Rocket online (SEGA delivered it for free to my house), playing Sonic Adventure 2 and handing the controller to my gf so she can take care of my Chao Garden, smoking pot while talking with Seaman.
Dreamcast is one of the greatest consoles ever. The last white men console.
All hail SEGA.

Piracy on PS1 wasn't widespread. It was rare and hard to do, especially since you needed a modchip. Plus if you bought warranty for your PS1, you can kiss goodbye any chances of getting it repaired when you've opened the console to get it modded.

They have, that is why they copied the design. Japs do this thing where they copy someone else and say it was theirs all along but will give historical credit of shared roots or whatever.

>>12632230
>Maybe the japanese are just avoidant of admitting direct inspirations openly
Weird, from the media I consume, it's usually the other way around: japanese openly acknowledge their inspirations, while westerners try to hide it.

Example: Hideaki Anno said Evangelion ripped Devilman off so much he thought he was going to get sued.

Counter-example: George Lucas admitted the boulder trap scene in Indiana Jones came from a Scrooge McDuck story, The Seven Cities of Cibola (he later wrote the introduction for the re-release of Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck).

Cleared Dali, the Cargo Ship, and saved just inside of Lindblum Castle before meeting up with Cid. Stole everything from every enemy and boss, got all treasures, played cards and won against everyone possible, saw all ATEs so far, got the stella token, and got the Very Good Fortune before leaving town. Will probably play more later, but I need a break for now.
>>
>>12617103
It was my first FF since I got into them after 7 had come and gone. I always thought it was one of the best, that 5/7/9 are the best ones.
I guess I could think of some complaints, but it's stuff like not getting to spend more time on Terra, or Zidane's trance abilities all having the same function. I didn't engage with the more obscure optional stuff, only the chocobo treasure hunt and beating Ozma.
>>
>>12641139
Met with Cid, ran around town grabbing everything and beating everyone in cards, got some new cards and a bunch of new equipment, then went outside and smacked around Axe Beaks and giant spiders until Zidane was level 15, mostly to farm AP. Saved right before the Festival of the Hunt, will continue tomorrow. All disc 1 ATEs completed, but I still have Quina, Chocobo Hot and Cold, Gilzamuke Grotto or however it's spelled, grinding dragons outside of the grotto, and Burmecia to go on disc 1 once I finally get out of Lindblum.
>>
>>12642102
Alright, Lindblum for disc 1 is done, got the Coral Ring. Picked up Quina, holding off of the frog farming for now, since Zidane and Freya are already level 16 and Quina came in at level 13. If it wasn't for the massive stash of old weapons I carry, trying to weaken enemies for Quina to eat would be nearly impossible. As it is I need to downgrade to go blue magic hunting, but I did that to myself. Time for Chocobo Hot n Cold hell.

What are the good ones? I've only played picrel but liked it.

Baroque wasn't part of the discussion. Perhaps it should have been, but deviation from top-down terminal-based ascii bump combat was heretical and verboten in those days. If it didn't look and play like Rogue at first glance and subsequent glances it didn't count, period, ass-shrimple, no seat at the table.
Baroque will never be a woman.
