/vr/ - Retro Games

Playing this right now, what I'm into to?

A weird PS1 SRPG made by Atlus.

PS1 had a bunch of FFT-knockoffs, so you'll find a lot of them there. Eternal Eyes, Kartia: The Word of Fate. Kartia is noteworthy for having artwork drawn by Amano, normally associated with Final Fantasy.

There's also more strategy focused games like Master of Monsters, games with the grid but not exactly the same combat like other NISA titles: Soul Nomad, Phantom Brave. And there are also games like Rhapsody or Popolocrois, which are purely typical JRPGs but go into the grid combat for fights.

Is this game worth playing /vr/?

Wouldn't really call this a great game, but it's fairly obscure as far as JRPGs go.

ITT: Mediocre or even poor games that had fucking amazing music.

Kartia is a clear choice. The game is average at best with some nice ideas like spontaneously summoning monsters and equipment in battle, but is ultimately slow and fairly generic aside from that. The game eventually boils down to "AOE magic spam, HP-sucking swords, and rock-paper-scissors" with very little actual tactics until the endgame where fucking everyone has said HP-sucking swords. The soundtrack however is absolutely beautiful.

The guys who worked on it also worked on the Persona soundtracks.

How is this game?
The art style looks nice but I'm worried since atlus has its stamp on it so I'm worried its about grinding more than actual strategy.
