/vr/ - Retro Games

Ah, please don't show me that right now! I've been wanting to play through FF VI again, but I just don't have the time to.

MAKE TIME NIGGA

>>369639

Did you name her "CELL" because you first see her in a cell, or because she vaguely reminds you of Cell from DBZ for whatever reason?

I heartily approve of your naming scheme.

>>369646
my sides

>>369693

No reason really, just lack of a better name.

Might aswell post the others so far:

TERRA - TERRA
LOCKE - COCKE
SHADOW - FUCKER
CYAN - TACO
GAU - PUNK

If I could name temporary characters, Leo would be "RDSHRT"

>Edgar = Douche
>Sabin/Mash = Bag

Well done, OP.

I play FF IV, V and VI at least once a year. Currently plugging through V again, only about three hours in.

also regarding VI, if Umaro is named anything other than URMOM then you aren't doing it right

>>369749

I have yet to get to him.

I don't know what it'll be. I know Mog will be MOGWAI like always.

>>369749
Umaro feels like HANK, Gogo ROBE.

>>369762

I know that on my old cart from when I played it on SNES, Umaro was "YETI" and Gogo was "DITTO".

I have never played FF.
Or any ff for that matter.
Which one? Snes or nes.

I just finished this awesome ass game, I don't think anyone will recognize it though.

>>369780

Oh, SNES unquestionably.

>>369786
Assault Suits Valken

>>369786
You forget, friend, you're not on /v/ anymore.

>>369795

>>369786

Cybernator/Assault Suits Valken. Mah nigga! That ending music got me fucking pumped back in the day.

>>369780
The GBA remakes for V and VI are great, just make sure to get the music patches to restore the great SNES sound quality.

>>369804
>>369805
>>369814

Well nevermind, also Assault Suit Valken was actually absurdly fun. The controls were great, the level design was fun, and the bosses were fucking fantastic.

Man, even the story was alright, and it satisfying as fuck to blow up the last big ass mobile armor and embrace your bridge bunny waifu amidst the flaming city.

>>369809
I DIDN'T FUCKING SAY GBA DID I? SNES OR NES.

>>369814

play all of the SNES ones
order doesn't really matter

>>369823
>Was gonn go play ASV
>You spoiled the fucking end

>>369807
II (IV), the original US SNES game, was awful. The game is good, but that version is kind of not worth playing.

V is good, but play III (VI) if you'd rather have a more interesting story and characters (V's gameplay is fun, it's just not as serious of a game otherwise).

My people keep on dying, forcing me to go back and revive them.
Everybody's level 9 except for level 10 Alys.
This game really does stand the test of time.

>>369847

Don't worry. You can still be surprised by the BAD ENDING.

>>369848
My brain hurts.

>>369848

>My people keep on dying, forcing me to go back and revive them.

I had that same problem, and found out there is a hack rom that is being presented as the original game on some rom sites. It is very difficult.

re-download the game from another site and check.

>>369868
Final Fantasy 5 for the SNES did not exist for America.
Final Fantasy 4(SNES) was released in the West as Final Fantasy 2.
Final Fantasy 6(SNES) was released in the West as Final Fantasy 3.

>>369868
So said we all at one point or another about the silly title mix-ups.

>>369873
I think it's pretty clear that he'd be playing the vanilla game, which means he gets the watered-down story, general butchering of the game's library of spells and items, and mechanical overhaul that oversimplifies the game to the point of it not being any remote challenge.

Well I'm not re-playing a classic.
But I'm playing a classic for the first time.

>>369887
I got mine from emuparadise.
how's the sandworm in the hard hack?

>>369898
Sorry, I misread, I didn't really process the "US SNES" part. Thought you were trashing all the SNES versions.

Alright, intro's great.
BUT HOW THE FUCK DOES IT START?
I pressed every goddamn button on the thing and nothing happened.
The cutscene talking about how shit is ruined doesn't stop repeating

>>369912
I might have parsed it a little weird. For the record, though I'm talking massive shit about the US FFII, it's still going to be fun if you're not overly critical or ideal-seeking, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Sorry, /vr/, I tend not to replay video games...

...anymore because I don't have the fucking time and I have to ration my entertainment for something usually "new" in the sense that I haven't played it before, if I'm even playing video games. I wish I was 10 for a day just so I could have all the time in the world to play some vidya.

>always rename Cyan into IMP and make him an imp with the imp spell and equip him with all the Imp gear

I wonder why FFII was so bastardized in the US.

It's funny how they changed their mind, because FFIII with the exception of some profanity and name differences is not bastardized at all.

>>369950
Woolsey happened, I think.

>>369909
Most of the enemies were impossible to beat until Rune shows up.

Also Chaz and Alyx had different spells form the original version.

>>369941
It's good to absorb new experiences anyway. Replaying favorites is a good thing if you can capture similar good feelings, and you can always learn new things about old gems, but uncharted territory might be even better.

Problem should be fixed.

>>369950
>I wonder why FFII was so bastardized in the US.
Square thought that us stupid roundeyes were too soft for their ~original vision~

Nevermind that the west produced a number of games infamous for being utterly, hatefully difficult

>>369967
Hahn couldn't handle 3 hits from Abe Frogs in the basement, and nobody except Gryz can handle 3 hits from the enemies in the Biolab.

>>369950
>Players will kill themselves with Darkwave, better remove it
>Pray is religious, better remove it
>Salve is useless, better remove it
>Fuck, just get rid of everyone's commands
>What do you call this item again? There are how many left? Gone.

The horrible feeling when you're playing gmod on pc and hear this theme, not knowing what it is, then hearing it here
I feel like a noob.

>attempting to play an incredibly long RPG on a built in emulation client website

Dear god man, what the fuck

>>370051

>>369995
yea that place was unbeatable for me. That is were i quit and started looking for another ROM

in the hacked version Hahn had GRA from the start and Chaz had Vision tech

>>370021
>>370079
gross. just buy a copy.

>>370080
Welp, that's not my ROM.
Darn shame. It would've felt good beating a harder version of an already difficult RPG.

>>370091
well good luck

>>370120
I thank Mark for bringing me back to this game.

Started up this one a little while ago because you fags reminded me. Good times. Got a long road ahead of me tonight, but thankfully no work today, so it's gonna be an all nighter.

Next time I'll go full Melee Bro Mode.

>see /vr/ thread on HOMM3
>reinstall

I-
I need help

Why, yes, yes I have.

This thing shits money.

>do you see where I'm going with this

>>370398
Oh indeed I do.

Final Fantasy Tactics. I just accidentally closed my emulator so I am fuming.

>>370473
Well sheeit.

>>370482
All I lost was some leveling that I will have to redo. I was trying to get my fresh calculator some skills.

I, myself, just finished playing my Final Fantasy III cartridge that just came in the mail the other day. Just got to the World of Ruin and rescued Sabin.

From here on out, my rape train has no brakes.

>>370586
Sabin starts to suck in WoR, though.

>>370595
His Blitzes(other than Bum Rush unless you power-level) tend to bottom out except for the last one which can be found as soon as you can fly.

I always had him dual-wielding claws.

>>370621
It's mostly the fact that his specialty stat, Vigor, is basically not a very good stat at all. You can of course compensate for this by giving him Offering/Genji Glove, but there are just so many better ways to utilize them.

>>369823
Check out Metal Warriors and Front Mission Gun Hazard

MW was basically a love letter to ASV from Lucas Arts and Front Mission Gun Hazard has a lot of the team members that worked on ASV.

Honestly fuck the remakes of FF4 and FF6. They shit all over the graphics, ruined the sound, retconned all the spell and enemy names, and made both games retardedly easy.

The worst offense was letting you change up your party in FF4. Part of the charm of that game was that they weren't just waiting around to be picked at your convenience, making it the most realistic party system of any FF. You're supposed to believe that Palom and Porom made the ultimate sacrifice, that Yang and Cid went through more than enough shit for you, and that Edward is too much of a bitch to do anything besides briefly help you before returning home to cry himself to sleep.

But no. Instead let's take this character who was intentionally made weak because he IS canonically a pussy, and turn him into an overpowered juggernaut who shoots fucking laser beams from his pansy-ass harp.

>>370668
To be fair, the DS remake kind of brought that stuff back.

>>370621
Turns out most of Sabin's blitzes actually run off his MAGIC stat, so making a SABIN SMASH build is actually counter-intuitive to a good Sabin.

>>370586

speaking of rape train.

>Get to final form of Kefka
>He uses Fallen Angel
>I still debate about using that mega elixir

What the hell is wrong with me?

>>369730
hah, I renamed Mog as Fucker on my first playthrough

>>370709
The Megalixir is pretty much for that attack. Also you can steal another one from him.

>>370709
>play oldschool RPGs
>never use wands or potions or scrolls
>by the end of the game my inventory is full of the fucking things but I still won't sell or use them
I share your sickness

>>370871
>>370709
I actually don't use potions when I play games. Once I use an item that isn't in the storyline, I restart the game even if I last saved after around 3 hours of playtime.

>>370459
Art thou a glorious enough sir to smite yon Gold Golem with common surname of persons of Jewish descent?

>>371703
I hath smited many a Goldman since and acquired their gold coin-like excretions for mine own person in the investment of well-crafted weapons and battle-ready attire so that I may advance o'er yonder and slay more worthy adversaries.

what is that thing you are using on your ipad to get a controller? and the keyboard options? and do you not need flash to play snesbox?

>>369856
You made me want to play that game for him. Sorely tempted to plug it in right now and blaze through it again from the start.
