Thoughts on this, the sequel, and third games?

Legend 3 is a good 8bit RPG.
Legend 2 is flawed, but a very charming RPG.
Legend 1 is for crazy people. It is completely bonkers and broken. I like it.

Final Fantasy Legend Collection coming to Switch is a weird one.

I'm replaying the first one after probably 20 years. I like the game a lot but CHRIST, getting your footing at the beginning is a ball buster.

1 is good
2 is great
3 is subpar. No surprise since Kawazu had nothing to do with it

This is the one where you climb the tower right? I adored it. Had some really janky mechanics. Raising your max hp as a human character was awful, but it was one of those games that really stoked my imagination.

I just got the Switch compilation. It's pretty barebones, but being able to play at double speed without fucking up the music is really nice.

Wait, how does that work?

No idea, I would guess it's an emulation trick they're doing or even just using audio recordings, but it works great and makes the games much less of a slog. I don't mind grinding one bit, but they are s l o w titles on the GB.

The third one is fucking amazing. I had no idea you could fit that much and have that much going on in a gb game.

Why the fuck are there two completely different games named "Final Fantasy Legend"

>> No.7207920

objectively bad games

good music

passable because you don't have a lot of rpg options on the gb

1 felt archaic and limited even back then, and I don't remember much else, so it was forgettable I guess. The start of the game was rough.
2 had some memorable moments, the inside of a body being a dungeon, fighting greek gods, that lady who cut her own face as a fuck you to Aphrodite. Cool magi system.
3 was my favorite on gameplay alone. Easily holds up today.
The ability to turn party members into monsters and cyborgs by having them eat monster meat or install parts was the best thing. A lot of experimentation to be had there.

I know that fee. Sometimes I can't wait for dementia to set in so I can mentally revert to being a child and actually enjoy all these games...

They're part of the SaGa series, but were renamed to be more appealing to gaijin. Mystic Quest is part of the SaGa series too(at least in my head canon), since the art style is so eerily similar, and in Mystic Quest you also get companions that are way stronger than you(just like in FFL 3)
