Most beautiful game ever made.

Another of the most beautiful games ever made. Too bad it's boring as all fuck.

Third of the most beautiful games ever made. Thankfully this one is as fun as all fuck.

>>3069643
But it's the 5th gen's interpretation of it.

Honorable mention because it's not all 2D, but the blend is sublime.

>>3069650

Haven't played any of the SaGa games, but that is some damn fine looking background art. Reminds me a bit of Legend of Mana, which is also very pretty.

>>3069659
It's a straight up port. If it were a remake I'd be with you but no.

>>3069669

It looks exactly the same too.

>>3069668
Yeah Legend of Mana is gorgeous.

Astal is another amazing looking one.

>>3069625
Not quite 5th gen, but I'm going to sneak it in anyways because it's so pretty.

>>3069682

>>3069669
I'm pretty sure the 4th gen version was actually in Japanese.

>>3069695
And a little past 5th, but it could have run on that gen's hardware.

It's very beautiful and a decent platformer too.

>>3069704
So? Still the same game.

>>3069704
>this much damage control over how hard you fucked up

Just delete the thread and try again.

PC-FX is the fifth generation console where practically every game is hand drawn 2D. Accept no substitutes.

>>3069724
>decent platformer
nah, it's pretty bad

>>3069759
Too bad it was given up too soon.

>>3069656
This right here. Only complaint is that the perspective can be pretty confusing at times.

The only two sprite based games on the N64 I know, are this and Bangai-0.

>>3069650
>>3069668
London Seirei Tanteidan is also one really beautiful PSX RPG.

Time for some Vanillaware

>>3069842
You mean Atlus.

Does this count?

>>3069842
Why the FUCK doesn't this have a fan translation yet? shit

>>3069758
I'm not OP. And speaking of fucking up, you don't seem to know that you can't delete your own thread and haven't been able to in years.

>>3069753
So the majority of people who played FF5 in the west did it in the 4th gen?

>>3069954
> So the majority of people who played FF5 in the west did it in the 4th gen?

No, but that doesn't make it any less of a 4th gen game and any more of a 5th gen game.

>>3069704
Are you the guy who threw a bitchfit over being told that Tales of Phantasia was on the SNES and started screaming about how it was actually on the "Super Famicom"?

I refuse to believe there are two people on the board who are that stupid.

>>3069897
No, it looks bad, especially in motion.

>nobody posted Island of the Seven Winds Story yet
figures, neo-/vr/ is pleb as fuck

>>3069934
it still being translated, but very slowly http://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=15979.100

>>3069986
No, I'm not that pedantic. But OP posted a 5th gen interpretation of a game and it has significant differences from the 4th gen version.

>>3069980
Look at the OP. That is the PlayStation version of FF5. It is a 5th Gen interpretation.

FF5 on PSX is 5th gen, FF5 on SNES/SFC is 4th gen. This is all I'm saying.

secret of mana, beautyful

>>3069650
i have been wanting to replay this gem, but i can never find a copy for resale within my vicinity. one day i will order it off of amazon.

>>3070049
They're literally the same game though. It's like if I said Sonic 2 is the best game on the Saturn. Maybe it is, but nobody cares, it's irrelevant, because it's a Mega Drive game, not a Saturn game. I can understand if it's a proper remake, like, say, Super Mario All Stars on the SNES versus the original games on the NES, but in this case it isn't. The game itself is just FFV. The graphics and sound do nothing to showcase the capabilities of the PS1, which is fine, because it's not really a PS1 game. Do you consider River Raid to be a PS1 game? Sure, it was released on the PS1, so yes it is, but if somebody came in to a discussion and said River Raid was the best PS1 game people would understandably tell them to fuck off because it's an Atari 2600 game. Nobody comes to a 5th gen discussion to discuss almost exact ports of 4th gen games. If they wanted to do that they'd go to the 4th gen discussion.

>5th Gen interpretation
An argument like that might work if it were say Final Fantasy V Advance, but not here.

nanatsu kaze no shima monogatari

>>3069668
>Reminds me a bit of Legend of Mana
A lot of the people on SF2 team were also part of LoM team, hence why they have slightly similar artstyles.

>>3070006
Are you joking? It looks amazing in motion. All that delicious sprite scaling.

>>3070049
It is the same exact game, the only difference is that the PS version is in English.

It takes no advantage of the upgraded hardware.

>>3071564
>exact same
>difference

>>3071728
>pedantic

>>3071728
The GAME is the same. Not the text, but the game is.

>>3070868
>it's a Mega Drive game
Sonic 2 was for the Genesis.

It's a beauty, despite pre-rendered sprites.

>>3071735
Perhaps, but I'm still right.

>>3071960
>game is the same

Mostly, sure. But it also happens to be on a different system released from a different generation. You were also wrong about it not using the hardware of the PSX, check the battle transitions.

>>3074596
No matter how you try to slice it, only you are going to hold the opinion of FFV being a 5th gen game.

>>3069625
Most of it's 3D, but I really like Xenogear's character sprites

>>3071585
Marina was pretty fun.

>>3069625

I just want good games.

Suikoden and Suikoden II.
Valkyrie Profile
Alundra
Street Fighter Alpha 2 and 3
Night Warriors and Darkstalkers 3
Marvel Super Heroes
The aforementioned SaGa Frontier 2 and Legend Of Mana
Symphony Of The Night (even though some of the "sprites" had polygonal effects or were stealth polygons)

Would Lunar: SSSC and EBC count, since they were mostly redone for the PS versions? I know that they're originally 4th gen games, but I feel like the PS versions have their own identity and technical changes.

>>3075525
>but I feel like the PS versions have their own identity and technical changes.

They do. But in many cases the remakes actually look worse than the original.

>>3075660
Compare with the same area in the remake. It's more detailed, but there's less animation and what used to be hidden doors in giant trees leading to underground caverns are now just bushes that disappear and let you walk though a hedge maze.

The whole remake is like that, missing animations, music tracks and things changed for seemingly no good reason.

Anyone got the BangaiO webms?

>>3069625
One must fall and Cyberbots. Could have worked on 4.5th generation platforms, but oh well.

Actually, OMF didn't have 5th gen graphics like extreme pinball, too bad, it could have been amazing with more precise graphics and controls.

>>3078995
It's pre-rendered.

>>3079002
Why not, it's still 2D

>>3079002
Okay, and at least Shadow, Electra or Katana probably should have been hand drawn, but I'm pretty sure Cyberbots was fully drawn.

>>3078995
>it could have been amazing with more precise graphics and controls.

Go to hell, that game is tight.

>>3079083
No way, 320x200 just didn't do it justice. Two button controls were awfully limited too.

So, take Extreme Pinball again, it looked great in 320x400, even if that might come off as weird.
