this still plays perfectly today and has a better story and characters than any snes rpg or ps1 final fantasy
>>11102906hell yeah motherfuckerhttps://youtu.be/4dDuP7ikxsM
I wanted to get into this game so badbecause the music and art direction are so good, but the combat is so sluggish I can't really enjoy playing it.Do any of the following games address that issue?
>>11102928>the combat is so sluggishit’s a strategy rpg, you absolute moron
>>11102936Nigger other SRPGs have more to them than "move to the square next to the enemy, select attack and watch a small cutscene play slowly", and even those that don't move at a quicker pace than this game.
>>11102948so go play them and cry yourself to sleep. shining force battles are awesome
It plays perfectly fine but it's nothing spectacular, just like most other TRPGs.I just can't enjoy most of them when I know I could just play an actual strategy game.
>>11102906it's a simple game ter it's much better and fun to play than pseudo ''complex and mature'' slop like FFTrasha shame SF3 was in the Shiturn and had terrible graphics, if only it was on the PS1 with 2.5D graphics
>>11102928I sympathize. I have been replaying it for the first time since way back on Genesis. I loved it then and I still love it now, but honestly if I wasn't playing a port with a fast forward option this time I would never make it through again.
>>11103197>i have adhd from internet addiction, game bad. but i have plenty of time and patience for chan threads
>>11103351I'm over 50 now, I have like one hour at most in a given day to actually play anything with the rest of life to deal with. If I can speed up an old game when I feel like playing it, I go for it.
>>11102906>this still plays perfectly todayAgreed, holds up extremely well.>and has a better storyYou just wait one fuckin' minute buster!>>11102928Use the cheat mode and activate special turbo.
>>11102906>better story and characters than any snes rpgTrue, correct, and based. Better gameplay too. Pretty sad that the "JRPG powerhouse" was beaten in it's own genre!
>>11103556>I have like one hour at most in a given day to actually play anythingyour life is a complete mess and you wasted your youth. there is no reason that you shouldnt be able to have free time if you didnt fuck up massively. you only have yourself to blame.
>>11102906>a better storythe plot is ok, but i wouldnt call it "better", and certainly not better than chrono trigger. arguably not better than lufia 2 either.>better charactersthe characters are extremely underdeveloped. they might have some cool designs, but there is extremely little "character" to any of them. and dont get me wrong, i LOVE the shining force games and have replayed them many times. but to say that the characters are better is just laughable, and the story is better is just disingenuous. shining force is very plain, simple, and safe. that doesnt mean its bad, but you're being disingenuous about how good it is in comparison.
>>11103998sir astral and ash, odd eye and lemon are much cooler characters than many of the dorky final fantasy characters. also, i said shining force 2, not the series. the first game is cliche star wars ripoff. you’re exaggerating the stories of chrono trigger and lufia 2, sorry but i think you are disingenuous. and i don’t think you’re thinking through the lengthy story of shining force 2 and what happend with the main characters that have dialogue. i’ll take them and their journey over final fantasy 6 every time, and i love ff6.
>>11104002>sir astralis an old wizard dude thats also the mc's teacher. later he tags along as an "advisor" and barely says or does anything of note. >ashwho?>odd eyegreat devil general. loses a fight with a god and becomes amnesiac. does nothing but tag along for a while. reluctantly fights the mc late game and has a "tragic" death that is undercut by how little presence he actually had. cool idea, minimal execution. >lemonloyal soldier/general, got possessed, hates his existence after he's exorcised, noble sacrifice. honestly better than odd eye because that nobility is at least consistent with his past, as well as kind of epic.ALL of the troops have little to no character or development. brother, i LOVE shining force 1 and 2, but you're fucking retarded.>you’re exaggerating the stories of chrono trigger and lufia 2not really, because they actually HAVE stories.>sorry but i think you are disingenuous>the first game is cliche star wars ripoffyou're either trolling or so retarded that you're beyond saving.>and i don’t think you’re thinking through the lengthy story of shining force 2its not that long, and its really plain. it has a couple of neat details and set pieces here and there though.>what happend with the main characters that have dialogueof which there isnt much.
>>11102906While all of that may be factual, it will always be of only some time and can never be of all time :(
“better story and characters than any snes rpg or ps1 final fantasy”I love this game but you have to be trolling with that take jfl
>>11104194>who?Peter. Joke referencing how he is referred to as Ash in the manual.
>>11103614>SNES is a "JRPG powerhouse">people only post the same 3 JRPGs over and overwhat a sad console
>>11103993NTA but having a family and actually decent non-consoling hobbies will eat into your free time fast If you have loads of free time to play vidyas past the age of 30, you’re the one that’s fucked up bad because you have nothing truly worth living for
>>11103993Heh naw my life is pretty great. It's just really busy and especially in the warm months I'm usually much happier doing things outside so video games tend to get left till the end of the night if we weren't out or watching a movie or something. Not that I don't like games when I do get around to them, but I also don't need to watch Chester do the exact same animation another hundred times so fast forward is a very welcome feature on old games.
>>11102906facts
>>11102906I bought the cartridge when I was 10 and learnt English with it. It's one of my favourite games of all times and I play it almost annually.
>>11104326>if you have free time, then YOU fucked uplol. lmao even.
>>11104256>peteryoung shut-in gets to travel and see new things. gets to ask the most basic questions and say the most basic responses, since the MC is relegated to mostly silence. somewhat optimistic and cheerful.
>>11102906>has a better story and characters than any snes rpgNah.
>>11104462Right on man
>>11103556>im 50 on 4chanwhat...you people actually exist? Go play with ur grandkids and get off the damn internet grandpa.
>>11104002Yeah I loved the part in Star Wars where Luke went to the magic desert kingdom and got turned into a chicken before he went to the abbey full of undead and saved the birdman.
>>11105721he clearly said shining force 2, which is just like that part in star wars where luke and the gang got shrunk and had to fight chess pieces and rats before returning to normal size.
>>11105751Nah, clearly he was referring to the part where Luke goes to the town that's actually a caravan and hatches the magic jellyfish from an egg.
>>11105770the part where he takes an old man to some ruins to find his grandson, but only find a stick in a box, but then he puts the stick he found into an old tree and finds an ancient sword in the ruins underneath the tree, and uses that to defeat a giant robot.
>>11105505I hate to tell ya, there's a lot of even older farts on the internet and we're not going anywhere. Statistically I've been on this site longer than some of you have been alive.
>>11106132You are in your 70's? Hard to believe since all of them are barely able to maintain upkeep to a single phone and very much prefer to only use them exclusively to communicate through messages and emails.
>>11106156I'm only 52 but my mom is almost 90 and her and her friends are online and on their phones way more than I am. It's kinda funny. My father still seems baffled by anything that's not email though so there's that.
>>11102906You forgot Fag Emblem
>>11108303He didn't.What he forgot is Der Langrisser and Tactics Ogre.
>>11104760>4chan now has wine aunts
>>11108505Silly anon, there are no girls on the internet.
