Okay, picture harvest moon. Y'know, where you slowly build up your house and make friends with the townspeople/date anime girls and do random minigame stuff in town.

Only instead of a farmer, your character is a monster tamer. Something you do by going into a giant tower and doing rougelike dungeon crawling (complete with losing all of your gear if you run out of hp and only being able to take a limited amount of gear into the tower every time you start a trip), with the added gimmick that you can find monster eggs that you then use to summon 1 (later 2) monsters to help you fight. This is important because every time you enter the tower your level resets to 1 (while they don't) meaning that with the item limits they're the main way you make any actual progress (because going through all 40 floors is how you "win" the game)

It's just one of those games from that 95-2005 era that mixed a lot of genres in a neat way, and it's got pretty in-depth combat too (and is really rough, difficulty wise) so that even if you're technically doing the same randomly generated floors over and over it feels awesome every time.

This fucking shit right here.

He has pink hair and doesn't give any fucks. He doesn't carry around a manpurse like every other game, no. He stores everything in his stomach, including tornadoes and baby chicks. No he does no eat baby chicks, he just swallows them for a little while and spits them out later.

He might as well open a slaughterhouse he fucks up so many pigs. He braves haunted houses and hangs out with elves and shit. This was a motherfucking awesome ps1 game. My only regret is playing it too much.

Little me was pretty good with games but this was in and out of my playstation so much it got scratched up and freezes halfway through everytime.

I actually found that the combat is much easier if you customize the controls to whatever you're comfortable with. And it's basically just Resident Evil style combat to begin with.

For that matter, I usually alter the control scheme to be more RE-like, and that makes me comfortable enough with the whole endeavor to be able to play it pretty well.

This is one of those games you would expect to be on the N64 instead.

Not that this makes it bad, in fact it's pretty damn fun, with a good mix of both pick-up-and-play type of overhead third person shooting, and the crate system both means you need to conserve resources (think before you build your tanks) and can fuck up another team's strategy by stealing their boxes. Good fun with bros too.

The Lunars are they the most original? far from its filled with cliche after cliche after cliche. You'll be able to tell who the villains are right off the bat and can probably guess it's gonna end with a big romantic gesture just from the box.

Are they awesome games? Hell yes they are. It's a bit hard to explain without using "nothing" words like "charm" and other vague compliments but not so hard that I can't come up with actual reasons why these games are amazing. You ever hear the expression it's the singer not the song? That's Lunar in a nut shell.

The story and characters and everything in her doesn't do anything new (well maybe in the mega cd days it was a bit less overdone) but what it does do it does right.

Ghaleon could have just been an evil wizard for you to fight, but nope he's got goals and motive where you can kind of see he has a point. Lucia is every quiet emotionless girl who learns the power of love, but it's done over time and with such sincerity that it honestly feels legit

we're all jaded we can probably see the plot twists coming but something so many writers fail to realize that surprise isn't necessarily the most import of a twist. Rather it's the ability hold our suspension of disbelief so we can see people are surprised when the villain plays his hand, or when the hero gets the girl. We know he's gonna win but we let ourselves get invested in the story as it unfolds that we're not judging it on a meta sense.

so we got some great characters, a nice story,a really good soundtrack and enough humor and sentiment to pad out a 30ish hour game, maybe 35 with epilogue.

gameplay is SUPER dated though this is very much a story characters rpg. Ill freely admit that. There are games that hold up better mechanically speaking. Still if you can dig oldschool Jrpgs give it a whirl.

Sadly the add campaign probably did turn people off of the game

all the sex and violence and stuff IS there but really it's just the first disc part of 2 (I forget where each ends) and the plot proper treats Rain and Hana and their relationship with a great deal of maturity and respect, their relationship is actually really sincere and kind of sweet

the sex is played up because that's just the kind of world it is. and bug thing aside the girls are usually the ones in control of it. Hana knows how hot she is and uses it to her advantage a great deal as am assassin and mercenary.

What are some of the best looking PS1 games? It's easier for me to play a game when it looks really pretty. So far I've checked out Breath of Fire 4 and Legend of Mana for pixel art. Vagrant Story for low-poly stuff.

Just looking to get comfy, really.

>> No.1754874

Good looking is very subjective, what are you into?

If you like Pixel Art BoF3 is good, although quite different then 4. Valkyrie Profile also has some great sprites. Most of the Strategy RPG's like FFT, Tactics Ogre, and shit have interesting sprite graphics and the generally relaxed pace of the game makes for some comfy playing

>> No.1754883

>>1754874
Yeah, it is pretty subjective. I actually tried BoF3 right before BoF4 and found that the latter was a huge leap forward. It actually made me want to play it lots. I was planning to try out Valkyrie Profile soon too. I agree with you on FFT/TO, those always caught my eye. Not sure why I didn't end up mentioning them! I guess it's because I played them such a long time ago. These games I was talking about are fresh in my mind. Thanks for the suggestions.

Oh, I completely forgot about how lovely the low-poly work is in the MML games.

GBC is a lot like the original, and the put just about everything to it from the core dungeon. It's a good port really. The big change though is that the Harvest Moon half is completely stripped from it, so it's a straight monster-centered roguelike and nothing more. They did however, throw in 100 extra floors into the basement of the tower. It's still really fun on it's own, it's just a different experience.

I wouldn't call it better. I mean, it's a fun game... but it has some content problems.

For example there's aren't very many sidequests unless the Soul Eater counts (and you can get that later in the game as a random drop), and the rewards of said sidequests aren't exactly worth it. Compound that with battles getting even more repetitive than normal due to having fewer things you can do without using resources (magic is either dragoon based or completely regulated by items), and it really starts to wear on you.
