>>12773646Nice, do you need to play 3 to understand this one? I could beat 2 no problem, but 3 was hard and unfair as fuck
Oooo nice, I played F/F final years ago (in japanese using an english text guide), always wanted to play the original Dai 4 since F is basically a remake of it>>12773668After playing so many easy modern SRW I welcome the more challenging Winky Soft era games
>>12773719>more challengingThis game has inbuilt cheats that require a guide to find.>Zwauth (literally impossible to hit by most enmies and hits like a truck)>Atomic Bazooka (instant kills everything in a huge radius)
>>12773875There are also special cheat birthdays that give the absurdly broken Miracle seishin.
>>12773875>This game has inbuilt cheats that require a guide to find.Is the game impossible to beat without that?
I patched it and it doesn't work, I guess I'll wait for spikechad to post it already patched
I appreciate them being around for so long and being a group that's guaranteed not to release MTL but why do their projects always take forever?
>>12773646Can these motherfuckers translate battletech for pc-98 and x68k already? The og dos release of mechwarrior 1 aged badly and the snes port a sorry excuse.
>>12774469I don't like Aeon but you're such a faggot pressuring over some literally who for a literally who console
>>12774464Well, it makes sense. Small number of people (it's mostly Gideon Zhi too, right?) who presumably have day jobs doing this in their limited free time, splitting the work between a bunch of projects they've started. It's more impressive that they've released as much as they have, honestly. But the downside is the projects that aren't their primary focus will take forever, since that time is spread across a large number of projects that get worked on off-and-on. That's my impression anyway, maybe I'm missing something.

>>12774476How to spot the zoomer election tourist.
>>12774479>""call dibs"" on a zillion projects>no other group tries to translate those games because of the retarded dibs code of conduct>spend almost 20 (twenty) years supposedly working on things that still haven't released >actually release something occasionally There's nothing impressive about Aeon Genesis.
You bastards should make it known whether Metal Max 2 translations is abandonned or notOtherwise the only translation we'll ever get is an AI one and you know it
>>12775236Play the ds remake, no point in translating shit that's already in english
>>12775236>>12775239>Play the ds remake, no point in translating shit that's already in englishListen to this anon, this is one of those remakes that are actually good.
>>12775239>>12775301I already played both several times, and the GBA port of the original too. That is precisely why I want the original translated. Remakes apologists are retarded, imagine that only the remakes of Resident Evil 1-2-3 were available in English, this is what you sound like. They're different games.Even just in your video the art style is completely different and Ted Broiler's overdone animation makes him look stupid and comical, over-animated enemies was a trope during the DS era because of the small screen and because they could. And this is just a tiny point in the grand scheme of things, gameplay is almost entirely different and the story in the remake focuses more on new side content than on the main story precisely because the game assumes that the players know the original (which you don't).
>>12774671>no other group tries to translate those games because of the retarded dibs code of conductHistory had shown that other groups have two options: 1) publicly announce their projects like socialmedia-addled kids and watch as this awakens Aeon Genesis and incurs their wrath as they release their version in response (SMT If, SplatterWorld) or 2) commit guerrillawarfare against them and silently release their project without saying anything (Mystery of Emblem, LadyStalker). Either way Aeon Genesis hates it when there's multiple hacks, they view each game as a winner-takes-all. Your best bet is Option 2, going underground.
>>12775323Prioritizing a game that already has a remake or port translated is retarded, you're just being an autistic retard >but they look different and have some very small differences How about using that time and effort to translate a complete different game with no version in english? Some may not like the priority system but now this is completely right to be lowest priority
>>12775561Again, this is wrong reasoning. We're not talking about translating the Saturn versions of Grandia, Symphony of the Nights or Vandal Hearts even though the PSX versions were already translated (which happened btw, all three). What you're saying is the equivalent of 'who cares about making Dawn of the Dead (1978) available, since everyone interested in DotD already has Dawn of the Dead (2004)'. Talking about the original version of MM2 like it's some sort of inferior port shows a complete misunderstanding and misrespect of both MM2 games. If you were with AG all I'd understand from your post is 'we feel this wouldn't generate as much attention due to the remake existing so we cope and pretend it has no value' but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and maybe you're just an un-involved clueless passerby.
>>12773646Did I get a Mandela effect because I swear this game was fan translated for many years O.o
>>12775404>watch as this awakens Aeon Genesis and incurs their wrathSo? tf they gon do?
>>12775593There was some partial patch that translated most interface elements but none of the dialog.
>>12773646People would translate anything except Alpha 1 and 3
>>12775819>AnythingThe Winky Soft games are the originals.I'm happy finally this one is done, they should do F and F Final next, and then the Alpha games
>>12775836WinkySoft SRW have awful gameplay though, Alpha 1 defined the series, the gba games are great too
>>12775668If they translate battletech, as the one people never did to prove a point, there will be salt for months. And a ton of "we-w-we were working on that bt the dos original is hard to rip and port to pc98" cope
>>12775836Originals but the worst to play.Also the stories aren't interesting
>>12775849>gameplayDude this is just turn based shit. I understand "QoL" shit and "refined" mechanics that make the games more "balanced". In the end the Winky Soft games provide a real challenge, which is something most SRW games that came later lack
>>12775991>Also the stories aren't interestingYou didn't play them
>>12775995Difficulty =/= funHaving to slowly chip away 1000000 boss health one getter beam at a time isn't as fun as actually using your characters skills and supports to do big damage with well placed strategies all in one turn.Almost finished Z2 and if you want all the SR points the game is much more fun than any of the winkysoft games, you have to use your supports, your spirits, your kill and moves all in perfect synchronization.I remember going through EX and it all the latest missions were braindead, sent Getter or your best damage unit to do all the work because everyone else will just get in the way and die.Hopefully 4 is different, some of the non protagonist characters are kinda usable now. Unlike 3.
>>12775854...what?That doesn't even come close to answering the question.
>>12776028git gud
Not retro but I'm playing through 30 now and it's too damn easy.I stopped doing ANY upgrade at all a while ago and it's still easy.
>>12776038Picking up projects that were neglected by trannylators, but wished by the community would expose the scene a lot anon.Ladystalker is the oldest AF project, since early 2010's and look the drama it generated, same goes go brightis, which people are having fun now that they were translated.Unfortunately, or maybe fate and karma, it took ai to expose and rip the curtains hiding the fanlation scene as they trully are.
>>12776039>buzzwordNigga just using your best unit because the rest sucks is not hard, it's pokemon tier
>>12776112It's a Japanese tradition to beat the Winky games with just Boss.
Are these enjoyable story wise if you only watched a little Gundam, Macross, and older mecha stuff?I actually really wanted titles from this series back around 2010, because they were featuring characters from shows that I actually fully watched and enjoyed, but back then we couldn't get shit in English.
>>12775998I played 2 and read a summary of 3 and 4 on gamefaqs (before they got translations)
>>12776162Yes, the OG games also have great stories arguably better than the crossover licensed games although many times OG crosses over with licenses.Also if you like Gundam well that's good because most of SRW is based off UC Gundam. The original SRW only had 3 IPs: Gundam, Mazinger and Getter Robo
>>12776196I actually had put the OG remake of the first game or whatever it was for PS2 on my Steam Deck, and figured I would start with that, but I just never got around to it, and then after seeing this I was thinking maybe I should just start from the actual beginning. I guess I probably had the right idea in the first place and will just go with OG then.Thinking about it though, I wonder why Bandai Namco doesn't release new ports or a remastered collection for the OG games or something. If it's basically all their own IP then it seems like it would be cheap and a good way to introduce younger and non Japanese players to the series
>>12775404There's also a third option: both! Swear up and down openly that you're stopping development for greener pastures as a ruse to lull your perceived foe into a false sense of security while you secretly subterfuge, guaranteed to piss off friend and foe alike because it makes you out to be an untrustworthy thrillseeking rushjobber with no idea what you were doing.
>>12776328>Thinking about it though, I wonder why Bandai Namco doesn't release new ports or a remastered collection for the OG games or something.Apparently the OG games don't sell very well despite how much time and money they put into them compared to the licensed games.
>>12775323I'm with you but I doubt they will ever finish it with with the DS remake being a thing already.
>shit game but with anime character
>>12776781They are fun SRPGs actually, fandoms have silly wars online and they ONLY like 1 series (and then ONLY 1 game within the series) but in reality, SRW should be appealing to anyone who likes games like Fire Emblem and Shining Force, or Advance Wars
>>12776781>>12776830I played a lot of them without watching a single anime,I just like whoeve has a cool theme, I really like every series gets their own battle theme, more srpgs should have done that
>>12774464Gideon is a fat retard who loves to call dibs on everything under the fucking sun so he either has too much work or just sits on his fat ass instead
>>12775995SRW didn't become brain-dead easy until V but then you can still make it challenging by playing on Hard/Expert mode, not upgrading your suits, and not spamming spells.OG SRW games force you to spam spells on every boss and pray for good evade RNGs which kills all the fun.Heck, even if you fully upgrade your units, their performance stay like shit unless it's Nu Gundam or god gundam
