Great game. Only flaw was the repetitiveness of having to repeat stages 3-4 times.

It was about Odin's sphere, not about Odin. Odin's sphere had world-destroyed properties.

More like the repetitiveness of EVERYTHING.

You repeat ALL of the bosses except the 5 final bosses.
Actually you fight the Beast of Darkova twice!

You have to repeat the final bosses, too, if you want to unlock all the scenes, including the one where the pooka curse is lifted.

That's kind of disappointing. I was hoping it was an actual duck.

Besides, imagine all the fun parlor tricks you could do if you had a duck that you could pop out at will. You could stick it up girls' skirts and shit.

how bad are the loading times and slowdown?

>> No.2601869

>load times
I didn't mind them. Actually, I don't think there was a problem at all with it.
>slowdowns
Very bad.

>> No.2601885

>>2601858
The slowdown is horrible in the Underworld boss fights, and possibly in the sewer. Rarely a bother otherwise, but that one stage makes me wonder if they really even tested the game. It would have been smart to hardcode in some graphics disabling just for those fights.

Loading times will tick you off some when dealing with the Pooka village, but aren't much of a bother anywhere else.

>> No.2601910

>>2601858
Loadings not so bad, but slowdown is hilarious on some fights. You can almost hear the ps2 grinding gears if you have an early fat version

The only place loading pissed me off was the Pooka's Kitchen/Rabbit's Diner.

The slowdown only bit ass in the fights against Odette and Belial, and slightly in the Oswald vs. King G-whatever whenever I went dark-mode.

Play it anyway you double faggot.

It's an awesome game, well worth a few slow fights.

>> No.2601936

Out of curiosity,

What did they do wrong for the NA localization that made it have such ridiculous slowdowns? iirc the Jap one didn't have any of these slowdown problems at all.

>> No.2601949

>>2601936

Sloppiness, I guess. I'd gladly get rid of the English VA to remove the slowdown.

>> No.2601959

Playing with Japanese voices on doesn't make it run any faster. I can think of no possible reason for a game to run more slowly from the addition of optional vocal tracks, and I'm a software engineer.

Well you're definitely not a hardware engineer.

And you can get voltage differences, but that can all be taken care of in the adapters. I'm trying to find documentation of any actual hardware differences, but I'm not finding any. It seems that exactly the same models were released in each country.

great game and all, but god damn did I love the japanese voice cast. SO glad they included a jp option.
