/vr/ - Retro Games

Yeah it's pretty great, actually feels like going on an adventure with friends. It's my favourite video game ever since I played it back in 2012.

Gameplay wise it's quite easy and there were only a few places I can remember getting a game over on
in recent years though I've learned how busted the game is with magic so you could probably have no challenge if you spammed shit the entire time. Ship combat is kinda unique but also a bit boring since you're just clicking square and picking a random maneuver option once in a while. Encounter rate is pretty shitty even on the Gamecube but there are mods out there that half it and double the exp.

The story is charming to say the least, basic JRPG stuff you can expect but it's held up by the characters and world quite well. Music is great as well, although the Gamecube version is much worse than the Dreamcast for some reason (it's also mono) but the GC version does have additional content so it's a tough trade to make.

Overall, it'll take you about 50ish hours to complete depending on how you play, it's more about the atmosphere and adventure over the story and gameplay if that's an issue for you. It's kinda like Castle in the Sky and I think Aika's hair is even based off of Dola too.

Yeah, /vr/ used to be better, now you're gonna get mostly shit threads that just want to bait but even then those threads can actually have some good discussion. So I imagine that Chrono Trigger thread had people insulting you and derailing it.

huh?

>I stopped lurking 4chan when /r9k/ was added, only recently started lurking again on blue boards.
Don't forget, you're here forever.

>I played the GC version of SoA, and by the sounds of it the DC versiom is the better experience, so i'll have to give that a shot.
The DC version is only superior to GC in two ways, the sound and Pinta's quest. the GC version has so much more that you're better off playing that, but yeah if you wanted to you could play through the DC version again and actually try Pinta's quest and get the VMU DLC items too.
