Anyone still playing Brightis? Just cleared the second dungeon.By the Light I will post my screenshots if this n*ghul captcha allows it.
R.I.P. webmout of curiosity is the fan translation better for this NPC monologue ? (for the items it probably is since AI struggles with lists)
>>12781812>n*ghul Based. Yes and wish to replay it whenever (or if it ever) has an actually substantial decompilation project.
>>12781820I don't know moonrunes but the translation doesn't seem very good. Not from an incorrect translation perspective, that I have no clue if. But the english phrases are often very stiff.Still that doesn't really bother me, as long as they aren't saying "jeepers hero, you sure you don't want to skedadle back to sleep?" or whatever the fuck kids say these days. So far I haven't seen any crunchyroll tier translation, but I only played like 4h.And I'm still unsure what's going on with this translation, so another team was working on the translation but they were taking too long and this guy just cloned their github and rushed it himself? Didn't really follow.
>>12781828Is there even a PSX game that was de / recomped/? As in finished, I know they're working on SOTN.
Also does anyone have some tips or hints for moves to buy? In the other thread some guy described this game as having too much unnecessary moves like god hand and that sold me on the game.But the money is scarce and I already bought I move that I regretted.
Glad to see other people playing it. Beat the game last week with about 18ish hours of play tine. Like 7 of those hours are from the bonus dungeons. Anyone know what changes in new game plus or what the stars mean in the game clear screen? I know you get a ring that raises every stat at the start of new game plus but the enemies are also harder.
>>12781820I find the translation pretty good. Its a little stilted but in a deliberate kind of way.
>>12781845I find the translation to be really good. The deal with this translation is it's built off the work done by another team that is open source. Mostly how the font engine works and text I injection. The original translation had very little actual translation done. This guy, Waldo I think he goes by, went in and finished the localization. No real confusion at all about what happened.
>>12781861Just try a bunch, the waterfall has a cave right behind it that lets you try moves out. I never found the added moves worthwhile to do over just the regular attack
Fix your overscan bro

How was this game obscure for so many years? I didn't know about it until the webm spammer was posting it years ago. This would have been a huge hit if it released in the states.
>>12782870No English translation, simple as
>>12782982It's not like it's big in Japan either, nor was successful enough to kick off any sequels. So I don't think it's that simple, since the Japanese also don't seem to care for it. And it even seems like it's the last real Quintet game, after they just seem to do silly simple projects and co-development support. I imagine they continued on for a couple more years, their website only came offline in 2007.
HOW THE FUCK DO I DO THIS??!!!
>>12783331it came out mere months before the ps2 launched. there wasn't exactly a shortage of ps1 games to choose from at the tail end of that generation. it just fell through the cracks. similar things happen today all the time when you look at steam.
I LOVE the translation for this game. The mix of old school generic fantasy anime aesthetic coupled with the "old english" way of speaking has made my first playthrough of this game incredible. More translations should be handled this way for games where the story takes a backseat to the gameplay IMO.>>12781850I would love to see this game get a pc port solely for the extended drop distance in the overworld.
>>12783378back, forward, attackyou can use the d-pad for those inputs if you want and the character actually won't move iirc
>>12783382holy shit I kept thinking it was block forward attack and that I was messing something up. thanks m8. Whats obvious to most is obtuse for me it seems.Also what shader presets is everyone using if playing on retroarch. I'm just using crt easymode halation.
>>12783384>Also what shader presets is everyone using if playing on retroarchcrt-royale-xm29plus at native res always for ps1
>>12783384CRT Guest Advanced is my favorite one. Even the default configs are good enough, but it has a lot of customization, to the point I'd rather it had less. Crt royale is also good but I really don't like the default configs and I don't have the patience to reconfigure it
>>12783384>>12783387plain ol crt-royale at native res. never tried this xm29plus variant. thanks anon.
>>12783390>>12783389>>12783387
>>12783415i just like the warmer color tones of the xm29
which skill is good for skill point farming and is the ice bolt worth double the fireball cost? does it use more mana?
>>12783431lvl 3 heal, lvl 2 fireball and lvl 1 lightning carried me through the game just fine. not sure if i ever even used ice spells. though they're probably better than leveling up lightning. i found those to be rather disappoint. visually as well
I found a seer's ring in the chaos ruins, died, and found out the loot is randomized. some of it is GARBAGE
>>12783447loot spoiler blowpact ring gives you x2 xp - you could be earning over 100xp per hit after finding every skill coins
>>12783460and you can get that in the chaos ruins any floor?!
>>12783462not sure. someone i talked to found it in the castle on the snow mountain
>>12783431fireball is the cheapest mana cost. i used ice for getting ez combos on higher health enemies btw protip if you shoot fireballs at a wall your standing near the light from them exploding can be used to refill your light crystalssouth of the lake ruins there is a shore with a few fish, if you use a ice sword on them it does very little damage and also freezes them them which you can use to farm skill points off them.regular attacks are +1hold attacks are +2 dance combos are +3 and the art button combos are +4 i think
>>12783521>if you shoot fireballs at a wall your standing near the light from them exploding can be used to refill your light crystalsbig brained moves right here
>>12781812>>12781817...Very soulful pics. Nice.
>>12783381>I would love to see this game get a pc port solely for the extended drop distance in the overworld.I honestly believe these games artstyles would not hold up with infinite draw distance. A lot of that sort of hypnotic experience I get out of these games is by never being able to capture the image fully. I'm not sure how to express it without sounding gay, but I do believe these games just turn banal as soon as you bump up the view distance and internal resolution. The devs were doing what they could with the limited means they had, and as soon as you just blow everything up to remove the ambiguity and uncertainty it just turns sour.>>12783521>tw protip if you shoot fireballs at a wall your standing near the light from them exploding can be used to refill your light crystalsThat's fucking hilarious, I wonder if it's unintentional and just a side effect of how the engine works.>>12783460What the hell are the skill coins for? I'm too dumb, still don't get it.>>12784031T.Hanks
>>12784385>What the hell are the skill coins for? I'm too dumb, still don't get it.attacking enemies earns you xp. every successive attack causes your xp multiplier to climb. getting hit resets the multiplier. how high it can climb is determined by how many skills coins you have collected. every additional coin means +1 max mulitplier.so it's important to find as many skill coins as you can and not to get hit if you want to earn a lot of xp. block frequently. attacks blocked by enemies still make your make your muliplier go up.
>>12784441Oh fucking nice thank you. Did this ever get mentioned in any in-game tutorial?
>>12784446i'm not sure the game mentions it at all but i haven't played it in a long time. honestly i don't remember
I just reached the part where the region turns dark and even though I like the concept, I just really miss out the clear blue skies, I hope this doesn't continue for long.
>>12782870It's probably just not a very good game.
>>12782870This, same reason Trigger never had an European release until nu-game quality dropped so low that even a mediocre 20 year old game was better
>>12784449its about 3 text boxes worth that the big knight trainer tells you when you visit him after a dungeon. He even recommends using a sword with low damage so you can get more hits out of enemies. thats the only time I saw it mentioned.
retard here, how do i play this?
>>12785601Duckstation and the xm29 shader above
>>12785350cool pic
>>12786764The PSX can produce mind-boggling effects
>>12786767I understand this reference.
Played this a couple years ago, it's really good, would be nice to get a recompilation for it.
This game looks like shit. I wanna play it.
afaik with moves the slower ones give you more combo points and doing the same move over and over will lead to lower points gained so you have to mix it up
>>12787273Where are you even getting that from?I often zone out and don't pay attention to what the tutorial guys say.
>>12787772Experimentation.
Only now looking at this screenshot I realize where the people in those 2 houses suddenly came from.
>>12781861that guy was me.i concentrated on filling out a full 4 step Dance, got the Arts that looked best (like the DMC stinger and the blade beam) and nearly ignored Slashes.
>>12788320I never figured out how dances work so I just ignored them, i'm using arts, slashes and basic. Fuck is 2-step and 2-stop, how about 2-fuck-off.
>>12788336for the dances you alternate with button presses between the button you have for the regular attack and the button for the held down attack.the stop at the end of a combo means it finishes on that move while 2 step means there are currently two attacks that can be added on to with more moves
>>12788692Not sure if I get it still but I'll test it out tomorrow. Thanks.
>>12788804all dances are are just extensions of your normal combo m8. Thats literally it. the "T" just denotes that you hit the charge button instead of the attack button. the "2-stop" just means your standard attack combo will stop with those 2 attacks which is why those stop attacks are generally stronger.
>>12788804So I take it you like the CRT?If you're the anon that recently got the Flatron
>>12789430Nope, not your guy. My dad gave me this CRT back in the day, had it for a long time. The only thing I like about it is the 29" size, so that's why I never replaced it.I can't quite fix the geometry of the thing, it's like herding cats, fix one part, another end gets misaligned. To the point where the best compromise ends up fucking with the overscan which is quite noticeable in some systems, depending on the signal. Apparently flat CRT TVs are particularly hard to align correctly, but I have nothing else to compare it to. I did my best and continue to try tackle it over the years, but it's pretty bad right now.I also have a problem with the colors in some games that are too dark, forces me to really bump up the color curves which makes the #000 black not so dark.Wish I could find some local old man that still did CRT repairs before they all kick the bucket, but even transporting this fucking beast would be a pain in the ass.
>>12789184Thanks for the help, I figured this shit out. Wish the game would let me disable the dash attack as it interferes with starting the dance combos. I mean I can disable it doesn't help.
