Can't say I didn't beat the game, waiting for regen is a perfectly viable strategy the devs put in for me to exploit.

What game has HP and PP regen? Outside of using certain items in some games

pokemon doesn't even have any sort of regen, does it? Only in battle by using Leech life and similar, but not by walking on the overworld.

Would any of you justify fast forward only for grinding in JRPGs? I try not to but I have only used the fast forward tool to make grinding less long

I'm not sure what game you're talking about but in the examples I am thinking of it's an entirely viable strategy. If you wanna trade time for resources go for it.
>>
>>12679981
off the top of my head golden sun does mana but not health. dragon slayer eiyuu densetsu 2 does "mana" but its kinda a weird system where the spells regen you dont have mana. tengai makyou 2 does health and mana when you walk around in the overworld. romancing saga 2 does a full health heal after every battle. there are others that I know do health but I cant remember.

If you adjust the speed from 1x, you did not beat the game.

What if you have a shitty computer that struggles emulating?
Hey, old consoles had slowdowns all the time and GTA III is officially on PC
>>
>>12681253
I'm just happy that emulators exist and drive down demand for people that want the real thing. I didn't mean that in a bad way, I'm actually happy you guys exist so I don't have to pay triple what the market is currently at.

Rare win-win situation
I sold all my retro stuff, got a NAS, hoarded all the shit i could, got myself some chink controllers and a top computer + itx build for living room/portable and i'm all set.

Best of luck to collectors, you guys are troopers.
Some games have eye-watering prices like earthbound or chrono trigger
>>
>>12679979
i just constantly used fast forward whenever I wanted in my first FF game I ever beat (FF4)

eventually i started calling FF "fast forward"

So each game is like Fast Forward 6, Fast Forward 7 etc
>>
>>12679981
Ys is the best example of this. And before someone says it, yes you need an item for 1 and 2 but future games got rid of that requirement.
>>
>>12681310
I set my speed to 0.90x sometimes 0.95x to lengthen video games and enjoy them longer without noticeably effecting gameplay.

You invented your own easy mode. You did not beat the game.

you beat the game. congratulations :^)

if you dont even turn the game on you can save even more of your precious time to cure cancer or whatever youre doing.
>>
>>12679989
DQ has MP not PP. You were caught being a pokemon tourist just admit it.
>>
>>12681198
You know how ff8 had a "skip summon" button because the summons were so long they would make each battle take forever? You didn't beat the game if you used it. Enjoy watching this 3 times a battle.

Oh no what am I gonna do now?
I actually have played a lot of DQ games, only Pokemon I've played was gen 1 and 2 back when they released.
I'm sure I've played other games that use PP in more recent years.
Mother maybe?

if the game had items to help mitigate the long regen time, then no, you dodged the intent of the design and in fact Did Not Beat The Game.
>>
>>12679979
Sounds like a jarpig. No one cares how they beat those they basically play themselves while you do the bare minimum

Now arcade games those require 1cc to beat legally

Why would you lie like that.
>>
>>12679981
Circle of the Moon MP regens and there is a spell that uses MP but regens health. It's extremely slow and tedious and you lose its effect if you are moving. I hate slow regen in games because it actively encourages NOT playing the game.

6 pages? Lad I had over 35 (screenshot is where I stopped) of nothing but pepe between 2020 and 2024. It's fine if you misremember, but lemme give it to you straight (giggity):
>dumb frogposter
And genuine posting of pepe and apu was board culture. Nobody banned pepe on sight.
>>
>>12682994
Because it only found files named "pepe", leaving aside everything else with generic names. Not to mention that the pre-hack janny's goto move was to delete the image and leave the post, which the archive can't account for. But anyway, keep doing your usual gaslighting.
