Yes, the PSP uses a built-in, official emulator called POPS (PlayStation on PlayStation). Sony designed this native emulator to run PS1 games directly on the handheld device

This is essentially a 2D game.
Crazy that cinematics were enough for people to call revolutionary a game that with minor changes could have worked on previous gen consoles.

I recently beat this. The plot is excellent of course, but the gameplay feels like an afterthought. It's stupid that the camera doesn't even show much in the button if the screen. It's also stupid to have to switch between 1st person view and 2D. Some areas were just obviously terrible. Running up the tower, having to backtrack with that temperature sensitive key card. It's unpolished as hell, aiming was shit and often you alert the enemy when grabbing them.
I thought this would be a decent 2D stealth game, in reality after the first few areas it's like 6/10 gameplay wise

What happened to translation projects, why do they always do bullshit like this instead of just putting in the translation like they used to?
And just like the Popolocrois one they don't want to provide you with a version that doesn't taint the sanctity of the game's original content.

The SNES version was considered balls because the combat was really easy, which was unevenly balanced out by stupid timewasting bullshit involving a lot of aimless wandering.
The PS2 version is a remake that's similar to Oath/Ark, so it's tougher, more action-oriented, and the music is way better. The voice acting is kinda awful though, especially the audio quality.

Cool story bro, but the worst Falcom-sanctioned rewrite is still better than localization rewrites and fan graffiti like this, from the POV of the end user.
Because Falcom has *standards*, and a basic QA process that tard wrangles this exact kind of shit seen in this project. Even the most soulless corporate rewrite is better received than this "hey look at meeeee" trash. Even when nips actually do developer rooms, they show more restraint than... 52 messages encountered in the regular gameplay loop. So yes, Falcom is objectively better and that fan project and you should learn some humility when you bring its faults up here in this exact thread to suggest there's some equivalence. To do otherwise is just as embarassing as a Chris-chan excusing xir latest abomination with "hurr you know sega works their devs to near death, doesn't acknowledge ken panders and his contributions to the Sonic canon like with Sonic Brotherhood, so they're not better writers than my Trans Tails x Eggman slashfic or the egg cracking easter eggs I left everywhere in this retranslation of Sonuc Adventure I came up with with my bedfellows"
>>
>>12597774
Remakes are different games. It's not comparable. The english version of *insert game* is the only english version of *insert game* generally. If a translation is bad the first time that's going to be the only version of the game that exists in english. In contrast to a remake where there's a same language version of the game that necessarily predates the remake. There's also the fact that a remake changing things isn't false advertising. Even if it makes the game worse. Whereas a translation is supposed to communicate the original meaning.

You should make a strategy guide. I tried playing the FC one with no grinding (walking in the same place to get gold for the next equipment) a couple months back, just trying to progress through escalation, and found it very rough and hit a wall eventually before moving to the southern-most continent.
>>
>>12598368
I've only played I to IV and VI so far, and I would put III as my favorite because the story is simple enough and the class system doesn't overcomplicate things. It took me a bit to enjoy the world map being shaped as Earth, though.
I could choose any of the games in the first trilogy as my favorite, to be honest. Loved how they connected.

>>12601298
>other people engage differently than me with video games? No! They lie!
>>
>>12601814
I just think he hasn't gotten through the whole game yet. We always have someone determined that grinding is a lie, which it mostly is, and you can get through the first 2/3rds of DQ1 in a struggle just by exploring and experimenting and dying, and then they come in these threads to say you can play the whole game like that. They hit The Wall and just drop off into the aether slowly after. I know this, because I was that anon before. After DQ1, this does become a legitimate way to play every game though, walking back and forth to get money for gear extensively kind of goes extinct.

Anything that raises the Evade stat in FF6 is effected since the game doesn't pay attention to the Evade stat. Instead the game uses the M. Evade stat for both Evade and M. Evade. So getting a characters M. Evade stat as high as it will go will make that character practically invincible since most attacks, physical and magical, will miss. Where-as getting Evade maxed out will have absolutely no effect at all.

>>12601356
the graphics weren't drawn dark, somehow someone just defined the palette wrong somehow. i can say they weren't drawn dark because the borked palette means some colours that are actually in the graphics can't be displayed

>>
>>12601334
my guess is they made the mistake early on in development and whoever was doing the testing just assumed it was an issue with the tv they used to test it on, and turned up that tv's brightness. it'd have looked fine elsewhere because the graphics and palette weren't dark, they were drawn bright, the palette was loaded incorrectly to the genesis hardware, so would have only looked dark when playing on an actual genesis
>>
>>12601207
Probably not but why would they? The game was developed to run on computers, every system it had initially been developed/ported for not only needed a keyboard to work but generally had a keyboard built into the chassis, many likely even needed you to type a command to even load the game. Joysticks and other such peripherals were the optional accessories. Everyone who would load the game they could guarantee had a keyboard when it was made, but they would have no idea what other accessories you had.

That being said, it was pretty fucking stupid that apparently nobody told the devs "hey, one of the systems we expect this to run on is a consolized Commodore 64 with no keyboard) and that nobody anywhere even tried it in a GS since just booting it would have made the problem obvious.

The game crashes if the player looks around in one of the corners of E5M8. Seems like a huge oversight considering the small size of the map.
