/vr/ - Retro Games

I just picked this up and am enjoying it so far. The US version is kinda pricey though.

What went right? And what went wrong?

One glaring issue is that B is the select button; Y is the back button. There should be a law...

You can't exit support character's menu directly but have to go through your main character's menu. (Unless you first switch to a support character before opening the menu). If both of your support characters are in the same screen location, then it isn't clear whose menu you're in without going to the weapons menu or a magic submenu. However, if you exit a support character's action grid or levels chart, *then* it quick-exits you from all menus regardless, so you have to reopen the menu to switch weapons.

Also in the menu, LEFT and RIGHT are consistent with respect to the circle's movement clockwise or counter-clockwise. However, the selector box is sometimes placed at the top of the circle; sometimes at the bottom. This means that the directional keys don't scroll items in a consistent direction relative to the selector box, since LEFT scrolls the items left if you're at the top of the circle but right if you're at the bottom, so you never can really get used to it.

The screen requires you to walk unusually close to the edge in order to scroll, so you might get within enemy striking distance before you can see them. Meanwhile, exits suck you in from a rather long distance away. The distance you must be from the edge of the screen in order to make it scroll is about equal to the distance from which an exit will suck you in, meaning that you can inadvertently walk into exits before you even notice them, causing all the enemies in the area to respawn.

That being said, music, graphics, and worldbuilding are all really fun.
