Looking for 'puzzle adventure' games. I'm not sure what else to call them. Games like Lufia, Legend of Zelda or Alundta. They deal with controlling a character in areas full of puzzles most puzzles deal with space and basic logic. I'm not looking for point and click adventures.

I'm looking for more games like this. Anyone know any?

You are looking for mostly "action adventure"

Marvelous is exactly the game you are looking for OP, but it was released only in Japan.

Not /vr/, but if you like Lufia's style you may just like Golden Sun 1-2.

Puzzles everywhere, and they really reward you for going places where it doesn't look like there's shit out there. Especially part 2.

I'm not going to argue semantics but that's even more broad.

>>672909

Completely forgot about that one. That's probably the game that's closest to what I'm looking for.

>>672919

Game looks nice, googled for a patch and it seems mostly complete. Is the game beatable with it?

>>672947

Never tried them. Thanks.

Can you give me more info about GS2? I played one, and I've got 2 around here, but I spent an enormous amount of time and effort building up my party in 1 to transfer it over, and then I get saddled with a new bunch of idiots, and I put the game down in a rage and never got back to it.

I have been looking for this game for years. Thank you.

GS2 is much bigger than GS1, and eventually you join up with your old party. There's a fuckton of twists to the story too.

If you're emulating, you can transfer them over via a password, of which is revealed via a not-so-secret code in GS1. Though the one with EVERYTHING it's 6 fucking pages long, it's worth it and actually required to get everything in the game.

If you're playing on a real GBA, you can just transfer everything by link.

Dont know, I finished the game in japanese.

Derp, almost forgot.

It's not really that bad being with the new team as long as you make sure to grab all the equipment and stuff. It's not long until you end up being quite happy with them all the same, though all the characters in both games have their differences.

You can actually find Mercury dinjin before the Mercury user too, which is a neat boon.

OP, I was just reading about this SNES game called "Brain Lord", seems to be Enix's take on an action-adventure puzzler like Zelda.

You might also check out Wild Arms, it's more like Lufia 2 in that it's mostly an RPG but the dungeons have puzzle solvan

Huh, ok, apparently it's a Produce RPG and Produce also made 7th Saga and Mystic Ark

>> No.673065

Soul Blazer is kind of like this, right? Maybe the interaction with the environment is more perfunctory.

Definitely get Equinox, It's a really cool Puzzle RPG

Irrelevant, Enix was a publisher from the get go.

If we're going by who developed what, something like Dragon Quest wouldn't be Enix either, as the majority of those games were developed by Chunsoft.

>> No.673102

It shouldn't be. Developers should be credited for the game rather than the publishers. "Ultra" for example not only published Konami games, they also published some western games like Nightshade, Defender of the Crown, Skate or Die, Silent Service, etc which are not Konami, so calling them "Ultra" games is just stupid. It is this kind of mentality that made people think LJN makes games and that their games were their fault. Battle of Olympus, Deadly Towers, The Guardian Legend, Lode Runner, etc. were all published by Broderbund, and yet all those were made by different companies in Japan

There is a reason publishers exist. However I do think it should be more like how a novel is done, where you see the artist's name prominently and the publisher just adds on their insignia and name.
