what is it with 90s japanese games and ocarinas?
>>11109015They're cool and unusual instruments.
>>11109015It was the only instrument allowed in Japan during the 90s
>>11109015Less phallic than a flute.
What game, Ys V?
>>11109087yeah
>>11109091You know, it looks good at times but for a late SNES game it's surprisingly uninspired. I should play it someday out of curiosity
>>11109103I think it's mediocre in pretty much all regards, easy as fuck too
>>11109112Such is the nature of the genre
i was playing wonder boy in monster land earlier today and it had an ocarina in it too, shit
>>11109103>>11109112The weirdest thing is thatbthe staff said that all the flaws in Ys V was because "they had" to dumb down Ys to be "marketable on the same console as Final Fantasy".
>>11109461yeah it's not like the snes already had games like soul blazer or legend of mana lol
>>11109448That's Wonder Boy in Monster World you fucking idiot, not Monster Land. You can't even keep track of what game you're playing? Smoothbrain chucklefuck
>>11109461>dumb down YsI like Ys but honestly it's impossible to 'dumb it down' because the games are already barebones as fuck. Even the Napishtim engine ones are overall as simple as the first two Zelda games
>>11110547I think with dumb down he means making them easy
>>11109103It's a dogshit game honestly, Ys6 saved the series.
It's strange how Falcom seems to ignore V. I would have sworn we'd have seen a remake of it by now.
>>11110660there is a remake of Ys V for ps2it's somehow even worse than the snes game and hasn't been translated
>>11110667They outsourced a few games to be remade on the PS2. I think 1 2 3 AND 4 all got remade. To my understanding none of them are good.
>>11111020that does look pretty lame but wanderers from ys wasn't that great to begin with
>>11110660IIRC the Falcom CEO said the senior staff who remain from that era of Ys feel rather conflicted about V, he didn't specify beyond "difficult feelings" torwards it which is why they haven't remade it like other Ys games.
Pokemon The Movie 2000 featured an Ocarina as well.
>>11111494IV and V don't look like much of an improvement. 1 and 2 seems like it might be identical to the PSP/pC version
>>11111020Look as generic as an RPG made with RPG Maker. No SOVL, no substance, nothing but generic void.
>>11111621You think this is bad go look at the PS2 versions of Phantasy Star
