The Chadtendo 64 wins again, baybeeeee

>>10030382
Wanna' know how I know you know you're a Zoomer?

>spend shitload of time figuring out the autistic army building system
>get all my dudes equipped with the right gear after spending like a whole day studying the system
>some of them die
>find out once you lose a guy they're gone forever
That's when I quit

>>10030352
one of my fav rpg of all time
my headcannon = ramsa & company was carried by the insurmountable strength of angela the white mage
her death in the final boss fight bummed me out ; she gave her life so ramsa story could go on

>>10030352
The art direction is great and the storyline interesting enough, but I just can seem to manage to have any sort of actual fun with this game; way too rigid in structure to all its supposed freedom and flexibility in managing your units.

Had it been something more breezier and open with field-stuff to do like a Shining Force 2 for example it could have been, indeed, amazing.

>>10030382
They are completely different though. Simulation RPG (a là Tactis Ogre) vs something akin to an RTS (a la Ogre Battle).

I've had this game for over 10 years and I never played it. I never took it out of the plastic case, it's been in my drawer since I bought it more than a decade ago.

I've considered playing it a few times but I heard it's such an immense time sink both to learn and to play it, which discourages me.

>>10030969
Play it

>>10030969
Keep it sealed. It's only playable on emulator with increased speed

>>10030887
Tactics Ogre and FFT are tactical rpgs (trpg). A simulation rpg would be something like Fire Emblem or Shining Force

>>10030387
Zoomers don't play fucking ogre battle lmao

>>10030604
>game gives you 3 turns to save them before they die
>you don't save them
Filtered. Fire emblem doesn't even give you that. It's kinda standard for the genre

>>10031219
What is fire emblem simulating that tactics ogre isn't? What tactics are in fft and tactics ogre that is missing from shining force? This doesn't make sense

>>10030352
Attempted to play this a few days ago, could not figure out what I was supposed to do and couldn't get past the second battle. Completely outnumbered, character is super weak and no control over my one ally

>>10030352
I'm sure it was when you played it as a 12 year old. Sadly in reality it's both vastly overrated and has an obnoxious fanbase

>>10031501
isnt it bedtime in australia?

>team of Dancers
>just move away while grinding down the enemy's speed stats so that they stop getting turns

>>10031881
You can add more characters to your party before battle. The game does a poor job of explaining this.

>>10030352
there are quite a few similar sort of games on ps1 and saturn especialy but most never got english localizations. saturn could have been a good console if it got more games

I just can't decide which version of FFT to play.
On one hand I much prefer PS1's art to the PSP version and it'll probably look even better on a CRT. Apparently it doesn't have the same framerate issues as the PSP port.
On the other hand PSP supposedly has a better written translation with nicer prose, and I generally enjoy playing JRPGs on handhelds more.
Which translation is more true to the original Japanese script?
Is the new content in WotL actually worthwhile or is it a case of them forcing in new content that doesn't really fit just to make it an easier sell to people who already played the first game?

>>10031219
Devs think otherwise

>>10032354
If you want the original PS1 game with the content of the PSP version get the "The Lion War of the Lions" hack for the PS1 version. It's a hack of a hack called "The Lion War" but that one doesn't have the PSP translation so don't mix the two up.
Some of the new content in the PSP version expands on existing characters and is much welcomed since they don't have any importance to the story after being recruited in the PS1 version but there's also stuff like rendezvous which is just fun side content you can do to get strong items. Overall I'd say the new content is worth playing.

>>10032420
Will it run on original hardware?

>>10032168
>>10031881
I mean
Is this the first sRPG you have ever played?

>>10032420
>"The Lion War of the Lions"
Is this worth playing over Prime Convenience?

>>10030352

Are they comfy towns or is it just fighting on some isometric grid?

Play xcom 2
Like fft but much much better because its not made by bug people

Fft is fine as a starter srpg

>>10032873
this
unless you’re a woman or mainlining estrogen there’s no reason to dally listening to twinks talk about friendship and honor in the crown of the crystal of exodia or whatever FF drivel

>>10032429
I've played a few, not any that hid party members from me though

>>10030802
jfc I haven't fapped to cartoons in years

>>10032873
not retro, also you're gay

>>10030604
>he got filtered by Final Fantasy

>>10032873
Turn limits are shit and xcom 1 does it way better

>>10032049
>team of calculators
>stand on 3 or 4 tiles and fucking destroy them with retardedly strong spells
Trivializes the game

I always loved Mustadio and kept him as a main party member as soon as you pick him up and at least in the original he gets to be part of the Construct 8 plotline in Chapter 4.

>>10032570
There are no comfy towns
>>10030352
Incredibly boring

>>10032968
>There are no comfy towns
don't make me send you on an errand

>>10032049
It's more efficient with 3 dancers 2 mimes, and the mimes can be your males so Ramza is allowed in the party. Every dance happens 3 times and you have 3 dancers doing them, so 9 dances a turn, just shredding the enemy's Speed in no time.

>>10032873
They play nothing like eachother. Xcom is boring as fuck.

>>10032873
>his religion is made by sand people
wow, cuck.

>>10032354
>On the other hand PSP supposedly has a better written translation with nicer prose,
That is extremely a matter of opinion. The retranslation fixed some errors and some confusing parts that didn't translate well, but it took liberties by leaning very hard into cumbersome, heavily artificial olde english. I, personally, was not a fan.
>Which translation is more true to the original Japanese script?
The original translation is much more literal, for better or worse, so it is more authentic but has the occasional issues.

>>10032873
>Look it up on Youtube
>It's cultureless PC gaymer trash to g along with military FPS games and edgy Indie gaymes you bought during the steam sale
I'm sure you love it and see it different, but the same way you see Tactics, people who like a vastly different style see XirCom
>>10032950
Tactics was hard for most people at the time or anyone with no experience with that kind of game. Only way you weren't getting filtered as some point is if you had a grasp of Tactics Ogre

>>10030604

>>10030352
How? Tactic games, and I mean ALL tactic games are absolute dog shit.

>>10035741
fire emblem games are dogshit, tactics is actually fun

>>10035741
Have you actually played ALL of them?
