Anonymous Sat Jul 13 03:51:49 2019 No.5733267

It's so incredibly tedious. Every battle is agonizing slow, walking anywhere is slow, everything is a fucking maze, even the towns, and you can't just waltz around on the overworld, you have to go through some maps again. The story is either slow or never picks up, I managed to get through the desert and was then already bored to death.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 13 03:55:06 2019 No.5733275 >>5731078 It's generic, in the worst way possible. Watermelon (the team) is a very capable team on the backend, but Pier Solar is just boring.

>what people expected
Nostalgiabait rpg in the vein of squareshit
>what people should have expected
Nostalgiabait rpg in the vein of Phantasy Star
The amount of baby coddling, hand holding and railroading in one is a little bit different than the other.
The game is merely ok, people that really shit on it wanted it to be inspired by something else in the first place.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 13 07:02:57 2019 No.5733475 It's a shame that Fonzie is such a fucking failure of a man, because they could have easily reused all the art for another RPG. but one that doesn't suck this time.

I bought the original first print with the cd and beat the annoying eternal slip game. Zebbe told me my reward would be a discount on my next order. He isn't even there now so I wonder if they would still honor it.

It's on Steam BTW, if you don't feel like hunting down the cartridge version.

>It's not retro
Retro is an adjective not a noun. It refers to the styles of the past not to physically old objects.
Please learn English before ever having an opinion again. Retro is not a synonym for antique or vintage.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 13 14:59:44 2019 No.5734189 >>5731063 It's not good. You're new and haven't been around long enough to see a thread about one of the many bad things that don't have 3 simultaneous threads in the catalog.

>Never saw it mentioned here, why's that?
It's trash. It was originally some private fan-game for the forum users at eldilon inn or whatever the forum was called. Literally private forum jokes and references. Then they realized they could turn it into a full game and sell copies, so they did. Needless to say, a private joke turned into a videogame doesn't make for an amazing game.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 13 21:56:52 2019 No.5735108 >>5735089 Shut Up & Jam Gaiden was the same thing but was still good. This game was just stupid because it had stupid devs.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 13 21:58:18 2019 No.5735113 >>5735107 I like the part where he purchased a game after clearly doing no research and then probably spent more time writing a bitch post about how disappointed he was than how long he spent playing it.
