I've actually gotten several people to try it but I don't think anybody's gotten past Grecliff.

You can get your friends to play retro games? Wow. My two friends are into AAA titles and Smash.

Because Terranigma is cryptic as shit and tones down the fighting in favor of puzzle solving.

I wouldn't subject my friends to that. The ones who aren't into straight action games are into RPGs with decent stories, in which case I'd recommend Illusion of Gaia as the best of the SNES Enix games

I don't get the hype around Terranigma. I played until a bit after the tree part and the world was soulless and empty.

It is soulless and empty until you restore it and start to build towns and countries.

The whole point of the first part of the game game is to rebuild the world

>> No.5141328

Virtually anything. My suggestions aren’t very enticing, it seems. I’ve even bought shit for them during flash sales to eliminate every roadblock, to no avail. Oddworld was the big one there; no one would even try it.

Only was able to get a younger friend into some JRPGs/SRPGs, which I think he’s mostly forgotten.

Yeah, that's literally the point. The goal is to fix that.

For some reason, Terranigma really tugged on my heart by the end of it, out of the "trilogy" I'm not sure if I prefer the story of it or Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia was also great but something about the story was lacking to me, I think I just didn't find the characters quite as interesting

What are you on about

I can't think of any game I've recommended that people came back to me, said they finished and enjoyed. This goes past games that I personally like and even to games I know the other person will like. Like X-COM? Try Jagged Alliance. Nothing.

>I don't think anybody's gotten past Grecliff
I used to rave about Terranigma but whenever I try replaying it I can never get pass Grecliff either. Being able to now recognize the subpar translation certainly doesn't help.

"The best of the SNES Enix games" is quite definitely Dragon Quest V, though.

>> No.5144124

Ys I&II. I guess the bump combat was a turnoff.
>>5139025
Not really. Mind elaborating, though? Anything in particular you were really stumped on?
There's Louran, and the sidequests later in the game can be obtuse. But the latter are optional and the game as a whole really is neither cryptic nor heavy on puzzles.
>>5144059
>I can never get pass Grecliff either
Interesting, I thought people either can't get past the towers or complained about Eklemata the most as far as Chapter 2 is concerned.

>> No.5144132

>>5144124
>towers
I clean forgot about those. Man, Terranigma really does have an unfortunate string of boring dungeons and locations in its early hours. Maybe I'm just playing it too much all in one go. I'll give my replay another try.

I don't have friends, and in other case I don't think they would play old games

The Underworld is one of the coolest parts to me because of its unique atmosphere (in contrast to part 3 which isn't exactly chock full of things that haven't been done before), even if the towers are the easy tutorial dungeons. I've heard people stopped because they thought the rest is gonna be like it, too.
Pacing yourself may help, but with RPGs the problem often is that you forget what you were doing and where to go. Though that doesn't necessarily apply to a replay.

The struggle is real. I managed to convince one (1) of them to try it and he only played it once, to get into lore and all the memes. We still had a nice chat about the game, setting and certain implications of it, but he only played it once.

I actually liked how every tower's aesthetics represented the continent you'd revive.

YU-NO. I love it but most people I know are not into visual novels (mind you, the hentai thing is not the problem there).

>> No.5145892

The part where I legit got stuck for like a day (not even kidding) is at the zombie town, whatever it's called. There's a building there with a back door I didn't even catch until I just -happened- to observe where certain enemies went.

I loved terranigma.

>> No.5147291

I'm sure Terranigma just wasn't for me. I quit somewhere in part 3. It just wasn't really interesting and the controls were pretty rough.

Soul Blazer on the other hand I loved.

pretty much anything, despite the fact that they plays games as much as i do, a lot of my friends didn't get into gaming until the ps2 era. They are only willing to play old games if they have nostalgia for them.

I've tried convincing my friends to play games before, but they just don't buy it. Asking someone to play an old game is like suggesting for them to read a book or watch and old movie, and usually people don't go in for that shit unless they ask for it directly.

PLEBS, ALL OF THEM! PLEBS, I SAY!
