/vr/ - Retro Games

2 is even better because the OST is like that too AND the story is also depressing

final fantasy 3 sucks ovaries

>forced Mini sections literally every 10 minutes
>insanely high encounter rate
>by the way, being Mini'd might as well be Death'd because any physical attack will OHKO you. Also your attacks do 1 damage
Garbage slop.

>>10759826
The only real mini section (I can remember) is the one in the temple never the Vikings, most of the time you just need to use mini to go through a door and then you can turn back to normal. It's dumb but not game breaking

stopped reading, kill yourself

>>10759493
Yes, and FF3 also features an interesting world, very sad how final fantasy shifted the focus to character development. It truly felt fantastical back then. If not for the forced jobs and lack of balance, I'd prefer it to 3. It should have been ported to the GBA with 1 and 2.
>Pixel Remaster
lel, skill issue.

why the fuck do I need to grind so much in the very beginning? am I doing something wrong?

Yeah it's good, go fuck yourself

Final Fantasy 3 has a really cool vibe to it. The music compliments the adventure perfectly. It does have hell of short loops, though.

fuck now I need to add it to my pending list, probably will start with final fantasy. I never playe final fantasy before, my biggest question is: how much time do they take??
I work and can't play all day, and I have a lot of games in my pending list (zelda, metroids, castlevania, kirby, earthbound, etc...) and when I say pending games I mean SERIES, as in, want to get into them, they are so famous and great so I want to experience them, there's just too many of them and now I remembered final fantasy exist too FUCK

>>10759493
yeah the music is great.
i think it's where nobuo really started to solidify his style.
doga's theme is one of my favorite songs he made

3 is probably the best of the NES titles. I'm confused why it's never in the top 5 list of NES games.

>>10764332
Oh right Japan only release. You know I don't get why this wasn't released alongside the PS1 version of 2 and 1. Took what? decades until the pixel remaster.

>>10759493
Enjoy the final dungeons, great soundtracks for each section.

>>10759802
IMHO the best ost, story and story telling.
Rebel army!

You are not going to enjoy it with that mentality. Some of them takes more time, some less. A game like FF8 has 4 discs for example. If you don't have enough time, just focus on action games.

And the overworld theme is majestic, I don't know why none posted it earlier.

It has the right vibe.

>>10764682
oh nono, forgot to mention an imporant detail: I'm not gonna play ALL the games (thats crazy haha), only the first ones, the retro ones. the 8-bit or 16-bit ones, games that should be short
that means the likes of zelda from the n64 are lesser priority (sadly)

how is final fantasy first games compared to mario rpg or sega's beyond oasis? (two games I recently played)

NES/FC RPGs average on the 30hours mark

The reason 3 didn't get ported is because FF3 for the Wonderswan ended up being cancelled, Dawn of Souls uses FF1+2 for the Wonderswan Color as a base.

>>10764716
>mario rpg
It was made by the same company. Structure wise they are very similar. When it comes to gameplay, FF has more complex system that relies on elemental damages and buffs. Now, about the story and characters, is so different. Depends on the game, FF3 the player characters are almost mute, unlike 2 or 4. They usually blend humor with tragedy.

>>10764334
No source to work off of. 3's remake for the Wonderswan Color was cancelled.

>>10764759
I read mario rpg is easy to rpg standards

>>10759826
Why are you lying?

>>10764863
He's not, many brainlets didn't think of casting mini back on themselves after going through the hole

>>10761841
That is what jrpgs are nowadays though. Story driven games, in which the RPG elements are just pointless big number goes up fluff

I played FF1 on NES (Retropie), and finally completed it for the first time since 1989 or so when I first played it. It felt cathartic.

>>10765000
It didn't happen suddenly but slowly. The snes FF were part of that revolution.

>>10765509
It's not only the JRPGs. The moment D&D gave stats to creatures like the Tarrasque, players found a way to kill it. It all got boiled down to numbers game
