Promote everyone at level 20 they said. It will make everything easier they said.>spend an extra hour per character grinding (x20)>can't buy stronger weapons because they're for promoted classes only>strong characters only do 1 HP damage in later battles because of older weapons>don't finish promoting everyone until close to endgame>stat benefits are inconsequential by endgame compared to promoting at level 10>turns a 20 hour game into 40 hoursI gave it a try but it was a miserable experience. Always promote at level 10, anons.
>>12699780Is there any franchises besides Shining Force and Fire Emblem that do that?Optional promotion at early level that resets your current level?
>>12699975>Optional promotion at early level that resets your current level?Ogre battleLangrisserIm not an SRPG expert but I would wager that in games with promotion mechanics the resetting level is standard.
>>12699983Don't know about Ogre Battle, but in Langrisser you always promote at exact level 10.
>>12699993Ogre Battle is more complicated in that you need to reach a certain level but also fulfill specific substat requirements to promote. You mention optional early promotion but when it comes to Ogre Battle its actually more like you better promote as soon as possible or you can miss your chance forever.
>>12699975I want to say Vandal Hearts. But it's been a while.

>>12698102There’s also one with some faggot called ThaBeast something talking over it on original hardware (so you can see how turgidly the overworld map performs). I assume this guy’s talking about the LongplayArchive video. That MEGABLADEJ coon just started doing a play through of the English version as well
>>12696923So I was teleported to the hermit's studying place, saved my game, went outside and found out that I'm severely underleveled. I can't even last a single fight without all four of my fighting mons getting nuked. Is my save file just dead now or is there something I can do?I was only an hour in, so it's not the end of the world if I have to restart, but it'd still be a pain to sit through all that dialogue...

Did you know the actual reason for the creation of the Persona series was entirely to cut author Aya Nishitani out of royalties? Every time a game was branded with "Megami Tensei" he got a bit of payment since it's set in the universe he created. However, as even fans admit, as they games went on they kept being farther and farther removed from his setting. So Atlus decided: why not just make our own setting, ditch the branding, and save money? Thats how Persona was born. Initially very close to the MG games in terms of gameplay as well. All those Persona games, and re-releases, and he doesn't get a single yen!
The first 2 Persona games had SMT in the title LARPing faggot.
OP's subject made me think it was news and that Atlus rebranded Persona as Megami Tensei now
>>12700837See: >>12697748That is USA only. Not in Glorious Nippon. I love how overconfident fans can get.
>>12700884
>>12697105So what you're saying is that you're making up the reasoning, good to know.
I'm playing MediEvil.I like that Sir Dan's head moves around, makes me conscious of him as a separate person. Also if he has no weapons he pulls off his left arm and uses that to hit enemies.He has a redemption arc, being that he fell very early on in a decisive battle won by the villain, but now has a chance to right wrongs. Quite a bit of character for someone who doesn't talk, at least I think so.
>>12696809The sequel didn't suck, it just expanded a bit too much on the original formula. Which is normal for developers to do, but it doesn't always have a positive outcome. They had to balance staying true to the original while being different from the original and in my opinion they went a bit too far on the latter. Still, a solid game though.
so i loved the first game, do i try the sequel
>>12700551Keep an open mind but don't expect any miracles. The sequel is definitely not bad, but different.
I remember Medievil 2 having these kind of criticism>fall damage added for no reason when the fitting punishment for falling a jump here is just having to climb up again>health fountains don't refill even tho at least money does but this can really softlock someone's game>the game relies on the player getting all the chalices first time because you always get a weapon that's immediately useful the next level; not exceptionally good design for casual players>the game is a bit shorter, it's maybe 10 full missions ? but imo it's more packed and coherent as a whole>this is subjective but some people dislike the setting, characters, story, Dan having almost-voice linesOne thing I think not many people disliked is you sometimes get to set Dan's head on one of the green hands you actually see running around already in the first game.Personally I still like 2 more than 1 just because you don't spend any time larping on the world map and replaying levels because you missed some key item you didn't know existed.
>>12700234The PS4 remake is excellentThe PSP remake is one of the worst remakes I've ever played
These are my 4 favorite retro games of all time, what sort of person do you think I am?
>Mario RPGSo much that appeals to me all in one. We got the wacky dude Mario thrown into Final Fantasy with fun and interesting monster design. Pre-rendered sprites, fantastic music, unique battle mechanics for the time, fun dialogue. It's really got everything but difficulty. Fav game.>MajoraTalked about to death so much it has many a stigma, but I love how alive the world feels, and yes, of course how le dark it can be. SO much dialogue you can miss. Every transformation mask has some fun form of travel. Great dungeons and side quests (most weird and interesting in the series imo). Great Bosses, except Gyorg fuck you. I even love the development story behind the game and the stress of the deadline translating into the game. It also gets better on replays because you can manage your days better. Good game.>Half-Life 2Such good storytelling, worldbuilding, and sound design. Physics and ragdolls are still fun. Mastering the movement is fun. In hindsight, it does feel like it's missing some things, but forget weapons and enemy variety, it's truly missing ragdoll gibs. Half-Life 1 may be the better video game, but 2 is numbah 1 in my heart.>EarthboundCrazy, noisy, bizarre suburban adventure. Love talking to everyone and hearing the dumb shit they have to say. Love the spritework, backgrounds, psi effects. How serious shit gets during endgame. Another game talked about to death, but damn I love it.
>>12697697I recently attempted a replay as well, dropped it before I even got off of the ship. The poor combat and gunplay, combined with the slow pace, bored me to tears.
>>12697643All retro games
>>12695032guy who pretends to be chill
>>12695032I could list off my personal top 1,000 games but the top few would probably be well known or at least well known on /vr/, so having surface level tastes in your top 4 doesn't really say much. I don't know what some of these anons are on about.

What is the best Tekken 2 music?For me: Yoshimitsu.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQeumG2Gx_8
One of these: Intro, Jun, Kazuya, Lei, creditshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWvfkN9qpuo
Yoshimitsus is probably the best, but personally I prefer Laws, Leis, Paul and the character select are great too
Baeks is underrated
>>12700272It's between Kazuya and Nina for me.I really wish they hadn't switched back to doing stage themes instead of character themes. Some of the later music after T3 was good but it's never felt like it's had as much personality as the ones that were written to match the theme of each character.

I like playing as fat fucks in my videogames.
>>12697892>can actually see your fat ass>legal to discuss hereYou fucked up
where are the fat /vr/ girls
i dressed up as E Honda once for halloween and went to school like that. Everybody laughed at my man tits. One of the popular girls started it because she came up to me and asked if she could pinch my nipples with one of those black plastic clamps that are supposed to hold paper together. another kid that was a huge bully ran up to me on the playground and slapped my tits with all his might.
>>12697918Taloon's probably in the running.
>>12700449Brutal Are you jacked now
As I've gotten older I've realized more that sharing my favorite games with other people always tends to result in making me angry. You ever gotten that? some classic game that's really endearing to you, there's so much to notice and appreciate about it, and to watch someone fail to recognize it, get most things wrong about it, and come away with a bad impression.
>>12700240>hylicsbased gnostic anon.
>>12700293You took the example too literal. I hate mmos dude they're gay and waste time. But I'm just using it as an easy example, a genre that both men and women play. But they engage with it completely differently. Women like floating around guilds and voice chat, men like grinding.Women like movies because they like hot actors and they like the people they watch movies with. Men like movies because they like directors and cinematography "Autists" or smart people SHOULD use their time more wisely, sure. Media consumption is kind of a focus/time trap as a general rule. But, here we all are, trying to communicate with others who share our retro gaming hobby. Everyone here is wasting their time and everyone here would be considered "autistic" and weird compared to the pop country listening Netflix watching normalfaggots that we were talking about and comparing ourselves to.All I'm saying is maybe we are right and they are wrong. Equals at best. I don't like the sentiment that those of us with attachments to certain media beyond passing consumption are the ones who are flawedI mean, I guess a Buddhist or something might make that argument that attachment to retro games is somehow bad for the soul, idk.
>>12700378>you're too literalActually no, but you're too far up your own ass to see, you tismo timmy
>>12700240>normies of the female persuasion
I agree with anons here. Only thing I'll say is that you can't trust normies of the female persuasion to not have a penis these days
I want to like it but I think making a racing game around a JRPG gameplay loop isn't actually for racing game fans.
>>12700142No, nothing like GT Sim Mode you fucking retard
>>12700169There is no need to be upset
>>12700179Then don't make me upset and make higher quality posts.
>>12699926How about trying a real CaRPG?
>>12699926How about a Car battler jrpg?
if you quarter fed, you didnt beat the game
>>12693895Lmfao
what if you used slugs?
>>12693890Any game you can 1cc on the first try is absolute garbage.
if you didn't blow on a disc first, you didn't beat it
>>12700002What if you had fun doing it though?
