Living in the UK I felt lucky to be able to buy this game when it came out. I always look for cartridges in the bargain bins, because I know I can sell them for a lot more on Ebay :-)
I wonder if the Wii virtual console will have this game soon.
Thank god this tower is rather short. I was on the third tower and the emulator on my Wii froze. Then, even though I had been saving, the game decided that I didn't need to use the in game saving and didn't actually register my saves so I had to start all over. Now I'm using the save states...geez that ticked me off...
crystalis is one of my all-time favorite games. Yea you had to do a lot of grinding and I can see why a lot of people wouldn't like it but I absolutely love it.
Speaking of Crystalis Hc do you plan on doing it?I ask because my Friend and I who are fans of you and other LPers haven't seen any good LPs of it and we both Love that old game.Also cant wait to see how you handle a certain boss i had mega trouble with and further I also dispite beating this game 2x never knew about the magirock back so never used magic too. Well now i need to play again and start useing magic i guess.
I personally find Crystalis overrated by its fans, possibly tainted by nostalgia. Sure, it was fun, but all I remember is how often you had to switch swords to damage things, and how tedius it was to do so with the interface.
What does it matter what the fans think. They can rate the game any way they want. You can't argue a personal opinion. Every time I hear or see the word overrated is sounds like the person saying it is telling the person who ratted what to think.
So what if they like it that much. What does it matter? How does this affect you? That is how they feel about it personally. I doubt they want someone telling them how to feel about a game they like.
Whoa, I didn't mean it as strongly as it must have came across to you. I just was ranting at the problems I had with the game I guess.
Yeah, I agree that it's stupid to try and judge on how others should feel about a game. For example, I have found enjoyable every singe Final Fantasy that I've played so far, despite all the haters to certain ones saying otherwise.
I should apologize for my outburst. I just don't like it when people say overrated. I know that some people say it because they don't think people should gave a game a high ratting. I remember going onto forums and seeing comments like " I don't thing (insert game name) deserves a 10 I think it should get a (8-5)". As if we should start rating game to their standers.
I do realize that some people aren't saying it to tell people what to think or how to rate a game.
As for the Final Fantasy haters. Why they act the way they do is beyond me, but, they do seem to whine whenever a new FF game comes out. I find the whining to be hypocritical because some of them say they don't like Tidus because he whines to much. I don't know where they get that from but oh well.
In Norwegian and Swedish, we have 2 separate terms: "kontinent", which refers to the landmass, and another term that translates to "part of the world", which is where we separate Europe and Asia. I don't know if there are 2 separate terms for that in English, so this is probably just a small language clash.
...which is what we refer to by the second term (part of the world). Glad we resolved that issue ^^ The 2 terms in Norwegian and Swedish are pretty much the same anyway, except Europe and Asia are referred to as Eurasia (when speaking about "continents"), as they are both the same single piece of land.
So yeah, I've got my terms under control now, they're 2 continents, but on the same tectonic plate ^^
Well, as long as you weren´t playing the lame CDi zelda games were they call it "rubies" (the makers just couldn´t get the name "rupees" right lol). Hey! Elle didn´t join you? What kind of Chrono game is... oh right Terranigma.
RE: the music at 5:19...That sounds like a track that SOMEONE has had to have made a remix to SOMEWHERE on the internet...*loads up Google and starts searching*
I did NOT know Magirocks were returned when you used the rings. I avoided using them because I wanted to collect them all. That's VERY interesting to know. Thanks HCBailey.
It's cool how many different melee attacks you have right off the bat. Though I wonder how many people would know them all if they didn't have a guide in front of them.
the world music is probably my favorite song in this game. Its so sad and evil but also so meaningful sounding. Its amazingly epic. I love it. So much.
I take it the remaining towers are a lot longer..? Indeed, these graphics are among the best I've seen on this system..Tales of Phantasia and Star Ocean are also up there, but I haven't looked at all of this game yet..
Another way you could handle those huge knights is using the slice attack once to damage them then another time to get some distance. This can do a pretty good amount of damage.
Yeah, the music was fantastic especially given it's an SNES game, as were the graphics. If you didn't know it was SNES you could almost call it N64. I don't know of too many games that put the graphics and music chip to full use except, maybe, Tales of Phantasia that had actual voice acting in it for the attacks and such.
Ah, never really got into the fighting games. But in RPGs I never heard voice acting until I got into FFX, almost (ToP being the exception) always it was text only, ambient sounds, and music but no voice acting. I'm hoping (hint hint, hope you are listening HC. :D) HC will do ToP at some point. It's been done but not by HC and that makes all the difference. :D
While it is great, I usually found myself using the slider move a lot more. The slider makes you keep running speed after it has ended, allowing you to make another slider, or you could quickly follow up with a slicer. Only problem with it is that it doesn't have the invincibility of the slicer, but the knockback usually works.
I found myself doing Slider-moves all the time whenever I traveled after a while.
The Slider move is more useful when the extra damage is finish off the enemy. In my experience, that is usually not the case beyond Chapter 1, and I end up taking damage.
For my playstyle, the Slicer move helps me avoid damage a lot easier. Plus, if you just hold down the dash button, you don't lose your speed.
Made it to Chapter 2 thus far, and will wait for you to finish each chapter prior to my own succession. I always love to see how people do things differently.
On another note, thanks to your recommendation (subliminally of course, heh...) I've picked up the NES Dragon Warriors. I beat 1 just yesterday and am really enjoying two. I'm surprised to the amount I'm enjoying it, I can hardly put it down. Thanks for the recommendation!
The one thing I would've like to have known when I played this game, was that when you use magic you get the magirock back. I didn't find out until really late in the game.
I always thought it was weird how the map is reversed in this game, but it would make sense that Japan puts themselves in the middle of the map. That must be how maps look in Japan.
Regarding "felled" vs "killed," I think the translator made that choice because the former is a more literary word whereas the latter is too plain. It doesn't seem like a matter of censorship.
Apparently Quintent decided to use normal-sounding SNES sound effects in this game instead of the odd-sounding ones used from Actraiser - Illusion of Gaia for this game.
