/vr/ - Retro Games

It's too easy to be that.

>>3891491

Not at all. It's not like you can just mash attack to win boss battles like most modern RPG's.

Also a game doesn't have to be 'super hardcore!!11!' to be in consideration for the best

>>3891491
it's easy, but hard jrpgs means grinding and healing every other turn and basically just suck ass

Way too overrated. I did compel myself to finish the game a couple of times, but had no desire to revisit it after that. Like other anons have said many times before, it's too damn easy.

I don't think an increased-difficulty ROM hack would sustain my interest either. I didn't care for the characters or the setting that much. It was like taking part in a cookie-cutter anime series.

>>3891479
Live A Live is better

>>3891479
True jrpg connoisseurs frown on square games. Play a real RPG, like Metal Max Returns.

This is why you're a 35 year old virgin

the best time period is zeal is like atlantis!

>want to start a new playthrough
>remember the boring as fuck carnival segment at the start

>>3891479
Still tied for my favorite RPG.

>party
Crono, Frog, Marle. Sometimes I swap in Ayla or Robo.
>time period
600 AD
>tech
Arc Impulse

>>3891479
Frog always kills Magus in muh saves

You can just skip it entirely.

>>3892601
My autism for missable items does not allow this.

>>3892271
As someone who has dropped CT but finished LaL you're wrong.
>>3892453
You're correct but an ass.

>>3892691
Than why'd you drop it?

Which fanbase is worse, EarthBound or Chrono Trigger?

>>3892716
Earthbound. At least Chrono Trigger isn't a half-baked Dragon Quest clone with plagiarized music.

>>3891479
>What is your go to party of 3?

Crono, Marle and Frog. Mostly for feeding heals to Crono for a tiny fraction of MP with the right equipment is way too good to pass.

>What time period did you like best?
Antiquity. Short but Corridors of Time is worth it

>What is your favourite tech move?
Omega Flare looks the coolest of the lot but just about anything with Robo will do


Seriously, why don't they make bot characters Robo anymore? He's unusually charming as one too

>Which fanbase is worse, EarthBound or Chrono Trigger?

I believe they're equally autistic.

>>3891479
Agreed.

>What is your go to party of 3?
As I self insert as Crono, I choose Lucca and Marle for ultimate cuties team. If I want to dominate, Crono-Ayla-Robo.

>What time period did you like best?
12000BC ... the music is so good ... and floating islands takes me back to Laputa: Castle in the Sky.

>What is your favourite tech move?
Luminare, looks so cool to me, highly damaging, requires only one person.

>>3892721
Never gonna give you up.

>>3892453
I forgot to mention the True JRPG connoisseur starter pack!
SaGa Series
Metal Max Returns
Shin Megami Tensei
A smug disdain for plebs who choose to play anything else.

Always make sure to mention at least one of these games in every JRPG thread to remind others that you have superior taste for hating 95% of what everyone else plays.

Stay patrician.

Man that game was fun, especially when trying to get all the different endings

>>3892773
How did you get the ragnarok online discs?

>>3892831
Back in the day, you can just ask for them and they would mail them to you for free. I have no idea why, as one does have to have an internet connection to play/use the game, but it was nice they offered to do so. Sorry for using the old pics made for a different thread, just wanted to use a pic with Chrono Trigger on it for this thread.

>>3892838
Did you order them back in the day?

When RO was first released I was on dialup and it cut out after 2 hours online. That's probably why they mailed the discs. Real cool to see them, thanks.

>>3891479
Ayla is the best character in the game.

Any /vr/ aproved romhacks and similar?

>>3892838
You are the guy of the zelda pics?

>>3892859
How else do I have them? Yeah, I just figured it was nice to ask. It was like AOL discs back then, they'd give these things out in hopes to get people in.


>>3893978
N-no ... yes ... I do post a lot on this board with old pics (sometimes new) I took. If you know me, please keep that to yourself as I prefer to stay relatively anonymous (this thread may have revealed something of me though).


>>3893953
I started Crimson Echoes (bottom center of previous image), but have not finished it yet. I don't think it is /vr/ approved, it is definitely not legally approved (in the US), but at this point I am just enjoying a remix of something I love.

>>3892586

I love that gif

Why do people hate the PSX version?

>>3894872
Loading times for opening the menu, loading times for picking attacks, loading times for battles on top of the slow-ass transitions, loading times for cut-scenes, loading times for bloody everything, loading times for loading times.

It was basically an emulator running on the PSX instead of an actual port and it made the game extremely tedious and slow to play.

>>3894872
there's like a .5 second delay when loading into a battle, and other than that it's perfectly fine, and you get anime cutscenes.

Crono Frog Robo.

It's a game about time travel. Of course I'm going to run with a goofy speaking magic knight and a robot, and the game generally offers enough healing items (+ the small amounts of healing that Robo and Frog can do) to make the party usable.

>>3891479
>What is your go to party of 3?
Crono, Frog, Magus
>What time period did you like best?
The dino period
>What is your favourite tech move?
I dunno.

>>3894872
Autism.
I've played it on PSP with no delay.

>>3895002
PSP runs PSX games from the memory, not the disk, resulting in far better performance.

>>3891527
>but hard jrpgs means grinding
No.

>>3891491

>easy

I still haven't figured out how to meet Lucca.

>>3892716
It is a hard choice.
>Earthbound fans think Earthbound is the best or among the best games ever and think it is high art
>Chrono Trigger fans impose that Chrono Trigger is the best JRPG ever and say Chrono Cross is utter shit
Should drown both of them in the family pool.

>>3892716
Chrono Trigger didn't span a whole genre of imitators or is the mold for every SJW that made an RPG

>>3891479
Chrono, Marle, Lucca.
Zeal easily
Always liked the cyclone one with Chrono, but that one that shows up on the bridge against the Skeleton boss was good too.

>>3891479
>What is your go to party of 3?
Crono, Ayla, Robo

Can't decide
