>It was intended as a Dreamcast game but ended up an Xbox game.Not even being snarky here but this is kimda fitting and funny
dude drop drop drop dropwhy
>>11050943A lot of early X box games are dreamcast left overs.
>>11050950Wasnt called the sucessor for nothing.
>>11050943I was ready to call BS because Climax was a shit eurojank dev, but it looks to be true.
>>11050943I played the shit out of this back in the day and was choked the day I found out the sequel was cancelled by reading those tiny margin notes in Official Xbox Magazine.
>>11051143it looks pretty good, I mean to try it sometime
>>11050979climax made kino
It was a lot better than I expected it to be. The music is especially nice.

>>11050943huh, no wonder it was so janky even by 2004 standardsalso this game is the embodiment of the western lack of understaind why JRPG's are goodtenime art style with coomer service does not make a JRPG good, speaking of coomer service the characters especially the blue haired slut look awful ingame compared to the tranime art like in the OP
>>11051996This is the actual box art.
The game was really unfinished. Alish was the most fun character to play as but the game chugged like crazy whenever you used her. We're talking single digit frame rates. There's also effectively no ending. It's an NES tier 10 second affair, which is unacceptable for an RPG from 2004.
>>11053026They really should have gone with the Japanese artist.

>>11054381Good to know even the devs were pissed about that. I always felt like it was one of those games that was a victim of either budget or time constraints. It feels like an 80% complete beta of what would have been a great game. Still good as released but the unrealized potential feels like a kick in the balls.
>>11050943>>11050950>A lot of early X box games are dreamcast left oversThis, wasn't just limited to the Xbox though. Everyone already knows about Shenmue 2 and Jet Set Radio Future, but PS2 Shinobi, Super Monkey Ball and Panzer Dragoon Orta were all initially Dreamcast titles that got moved over to other hardware when Sega killed the Dreamcast.
>>11051598I know, and agree.>>11051996>also this game is the embodiment of the western lack of understaind why JRPG's are goodJRPGs aren't "good" though. This has way more ambitious gameplay than most of them, it's one of the few times I've seen a multi-character party action game actually work out well and have each character have unique usable mechanics that are interesting. Most criticism of it I've seen is shallow, with the only problems being that it's unfinished and should have been remade properly. It's a severely over criticized game.
>>11056323I can smell the hypocrisy here.
>>11053026Not in Japan. Anyways, I played this back in the day and had fun, I have a thing for those mediocre old RPG-lites like this.Reminder that there's an amazing PC port, runs on modern OS, has plug and play controller support and is currently on sale on steam. https://store.steampowered.com/app/233350/Sudeki/
>>11050943>It was intended as a Dreamcast gamePLEASE stop lying on the internet.
>>11058494It was though.
