Op but less faggy.

Side question since this thread is up.
There is a reason to play the original over one of the retranslation? One of the retranslation is better than the others?

Way better than CV2.

Love the character portraits for vendors and important characters.

Fag. I got almost to the ending of this game as a kid and I didn't have internet and I didn't speak English at the time. You're just a retard.

No the game is just really boring and doesn't offer anything.

Love this game, I only really have two gripes with it: The first being you can't stab the little blob guys until you get a weapon upgrade, I can't recall if it's the long sword that finally lets you hit them, or the trident sword.
The other gripe is those bastards with the sword and shield, if you stand completely still they'll walk right up to you and stop just a pixel away from hitting you, if you move forward at all they'll IMMEDIATELY hit you, but you can hit them when they're standing still. Meaning the best strat to fight them is to just wait and stab at them. It's kinda boring.

That shit aside, I love the atmosphere, and I enjoy exploring the weird, gloomy world. Killing shit is also satisfying.

Anyone in this thread play either of the Legend of Xanadu games? They look mega-weeb compared with the grittiness of Faxanadu.

this seems like basically the game i've been looking for forever. Sidescroller/platformer RPG in the NES era that actually is pretty in depth but not crazy user unfriendly. Thanks for the rec OP

Try Rygar too, it's similar

I know exactly what you’re talking about. The long sword is the first weapon you get (before the trident sword) that lets you hit the ground level jerks if I remember correctly.

>> No.9804119

Because Faxanadu was made by Hudson Soft.

friendly reminder that these games were translated years ago and the hackers never bothered releasing the patches "because we didnt finish the dub"
