/vr/ - Retro Games

Ghost settings are often the best part of the game.

Unlike sewer levels, the haunted house/ship/train level in a JPRG tends to be memorable and enjoyable.

Not more obscure, but SHinra mansion was equally iconic.

You mostly see it in mainstream games though.

Mario RPG and Chrono chross both had Ghost ships. The mario ghost ship was one of the bets parts of game.

One bad thing about ghost ships and haunted places is that they are one-time only dungeon. They often vanish after you clear them so if you missed a chest you could never go back.

But they are worth it. The atmosphere stands out from the rest of the game.

Dragon Quest III had one, although it was fairly short and I don't remember there being enemies at all, wouldn't really call it a dungeon.

One of the ghost ships I remember the most was in one of the Zelda games on the DS, although that's not retro or jrpg.

What was the RPG where there was a village shrouded with fog and all the occupants are ghosts?

FF3 maybe? I remember a ghost village but not sure about the fog.

The one that always stood out to me was the Ghost ship in Grandia 1. What's hilarious about that one is, at the end, one of the characters goes on about how "there's no such thing as ghosts", despite the fact that you've been fighting ghosts through the entire of the dungeon itself.

I think Chrono Cross had a ghost ship section too.

Legend of Dragoon has an obligatory ghost ship as well.

It's really common.

You can beat the ghost ship in literally less than a minute if you know exactly where to find what you're looking for. There are enemies there, but I never encounter any in replays of the game because I just head straight for the plot item.

What the fuck, you cannot do that to a motorvehicle!

I fucking love haunted settings
ships, castles, trains I don't care, I never tire of them

the fucking puzzle from this one uuuurgh

>>3587934
You didn't have to do it. It was just for rare items.

Also, anyone made a gif of that fucking laughing skeleton?

>>3586545
don't remember the chrono trigger ghost ship so it couldn't have been too meorable.

Ghost ship level is always memorable.

And a motorvehicle or a person can't be a ghost. And they can't shoot ki or do magic. But they do.

So... if that car was a ghost ... you would download a car?!?

>>3587934
Came here to post this. That laughing skeleton gave me nightmares when I was younger.
