Not OP either, but I dunno why anyone on this board would play a classic RPG on anything but an emulator.

Unless you're trying to replicate your childhood experience of sitting crosslegged in front of the TV, it's far more convenient, free, and offers customization and speed up options for the more grindy fare.

Anonymous Sat Apr 1 15:31:25 2017 No.3897059

This is the version I had and the load times seemed pretty standard for the PS1 to me, not nearly as bad as with FF Chronicles. FF5 can bug out a little bit when you save if you're playing it on a PS2, but you just have to exit the menu and go back in until it's fixed.

Not bait.

Majority of classic RPG's require no specialized controller mechanics to play, and instead rely on single button presses and a directional pad.

Most are sprite based.

If you want to play Starfox 64, sit your ass down in front of your CRT with your N64 and tricock controller.

If you want to play FFV? For fucks sake, just use an emulator.

Anonymous Sat Apr 1 15:53:02 2017 No.3897102

The black label version has ludicrous load times. I hear they're somewhat toned down in the Greatest Hits release, however. Still, you may as well just emulate them. The bonus content in FF6 hardly justifies the purchase. It's just bullshit things like a bestiary, and recording how much time you've spent grinding your characters' stats. (Good luck getting the character logs to 100%, because that requires multiple perfect completion rates)

>>3897057

The GBA ports have numerous issues, from even shittier retransliations to washed out palettes.

The GBA ports of 5 and 6 are terrible, but they're sadly still the best versions of those games available. Well, maybe tied with the original SNES versions. It depends if you think the bonus content is worth settling for a graphical and musical downgrade.

PS1 versions aren't worth playing because they're the same as the SNES versions but with added load times. Mobile/Steam ports are horrible looking and have shitty controls. Only reason to consider any of those is the slim chance that giving SE your money will convince them to make new, better remakes.

The only reason to play it is if you really want to watch the FMVs and you only have a PSOne and you don't have a Super Famicom.

>>3897654
This is why I came up with an idea for a ROM hack porting all the bonus content and the translation from the GBA versions back to the Super Famicom versions should be made, in my opinion.

Sorry that I can't actually do it since I can't do ROM hacking.

This is just an idea.

Better go with the GBA port of FFV or emulation. As other pointed out, the translation is meh and load times between battles are annoying (though not as bad as in PS1 FFVI).

The port of FFIV is okay though, as it doesn't suffer from the same problems and only adds an hilariously outdated FMV.

If you are going to emulate just play the GBA version it has more jobs and a extra dungeon, though the fags in this thread bitch about this version having problems (even though they don't mention any of those problems) the game is perfectly fine, the ports for GBA are great, the only port that sucks is the FFIV version but just play the PAL version because it fix all the problem that the American version has.

To add to this, the thinner fonts look terrible, battle BGs are downscaled and look like shit, the player's POV gets compacted due to the smaller screen resolution, and the bonus content is shoehorned and doesn't fit with the games at all.

Just emulate the originals, OP.

This is patently false. The European version doesn't fix the bugs, it merely makes them less obvious. Enemies will still take your turns, and there's still slowdown. These bugs just occur less frequently.

But I have a SNES and a flashcart. Why would I go out of my way to ignore them? Slapping a cartridge in my SNES and hooking it up to the ol' CRT is no more difficult than switching my PC output to display on my HDTV and plugging in a USB controller. And as a bonus, I won't need to worry about ugly screen tearing or pixels the size of my head.

It's not as critical as with an action game but I see no reason to prefer an emulator, the real hardware will still be a slightly superior experience.

I have seen many, many, many CRTs in my day. It's the actual look of the screens I don't like. By bloom I mean the type of glare that comes from the light of them. Might not be the most accurate word but it's what I went with.

I know this place has tons of people who love CRTs, I have just never been one of those people. Even long before I knew other types of displays would come about I hated the way they look.

I should note I have above average vision and am light sensitive so that likely doesn't help.

No. It's got load times and terrible audio, with music that sounded nothing like the SNES version. It's like TOSE tried to use the Playstation SPU to generate the music instead of just streaming recordings of the SNES audio from the disc, it ends up sounding like ass and has missing or wrong sounding effects.
