Is it worth playing?

>> No.9233159

If you feel the need to make a permission thread about a game just don't play it. Life is short, play games you're interested in.

>> No.9233165

Yeah.

Imagine not knowing the difference between asking about quality and asking if you're allowed. Fucking retard. "Life's short" says the internet dweller 4chan contrarian who mistakes the first idiotic thought that pops into his brain for wisdom.

My all time favorite for the party selection, branching classes, memoriable music, gorgeous spritework, and Angela.

The real question: is it better than Secret of Mana?

>> No.9233572

It looks good but there is little story after Wendell and the fighting is CLUNKY as fuck. Also Kevin is so OP the other two members are 100% worthless. Start as Angela or Duran because there is a secret boss only they can fight.

Visuals and music in the SNES version are truly unique. Story is shit, which makes it a chore to play for me.

Play the remake instead. They did everything better but if you have time you should play both games.

Absolutely. Remember Square's best time was after the NES and before they decided to go exclusive FF. They got a bunch of talent then lost it all before the decade was out. All the talent that left was just that, the best talent.

>> No.9236728

Bugs out the ass limit the apparent choices you think you have in the game. Critical hits are completely broken (they consult some obscenely rare value instead of your Luck stats, so Luck is useless), Agility is completely useless the same way. Saber spells override your buffs. Some spells don't work. Spellcasting timers are completely busted - they count down during menu time and casting time and you should be using the menu during normal play so "just don't abuse it" doesn't exist except to play very abnormally.

What's left that works? A very stripped down series of non-choices and just accepting partly working gameplay. It becomes a masher that should have had nuance to it.

Unironically just play the remake.

If you like co-op then the og game, otherwise the remake. The remake is less grindy too and the stats actually work. If you're going for the og then theres some patches that somewhat fix the game and balance it out.

But there are a lot of SNES games with stories and characters that I do like

>> No.9239680

>>9233154
Not really, no.

Story's the big draw, and there's some neat ideas there.

But gameplay is the worst parts of both Secret and Legend of Mana. The menus are horrendous and lag regardless of what you're playing it on.

The remake is also not really worth playing, as it goes from a dated ARPG to a bland as fuck ARPG.

>> No.9240410

>>9233154
Not really.
Combat for the entire game is mash A until your meter builds up so you can press B to do a big attack.
The menus for equipment and everything are laggy and feel like you're trying to play on a severely scratched PS1 disc thats trying to load each menu as you try to go into it.
Late game balancing can be summed up as "lol just get lucky" as bosses and even normal enemies can and will screen nuke spam you for 300-400 damage until you die if they feel like doing so.
The story is okay, nothing amazing. The only thing the game really has going for it are the stellar graphics and the novelty of choosing your party and class paths.

>> No.9240543

>mash A
You can simply hold the button down and your character fights the nearest enemy on his own, no mashing necessary.

Also, those screen nuke attacks mostly only trigger if you use a level 2 or 3 tech on the enemies.
