I know I can't expect much of a 16-bit JRPG but I was kind of hoping that I'd get party members one by one, exploring their worlds and following their stories, but instead I get all six party members at once and they're all interchangeable as a result.

>Has anybody else played Mystic Ark?
Yep.
>Any thoughts on it?
Great setting, GREAT music, great art direction, meh gameplay.
>has kind of taken the wind out of my sails.
Fool, the game has some great bantz in some worlds, especially if you play as Remeer, Felys has some, but Remeer is way better.
Mystic Ark isn't about the characters, the plot revolves around who's collecting people, worlds, objects and hearts, the playable characters just happen to be there thanks to Remeer/Felys being strong willed enough to uncard themselves, they're entirely collateral and unimportant, and some of them are also a nod to the first game in the series, Elnark, which is known as the 7nth Saga in the west.
The whole series isn't character driven, it's just going on fun and weird adventures, Mystic Ark was the first actually plot heavy game in the series.

>Felys has some, but Remeer is way better.
Damn, I picked Felys. Define bantz, because as far as I've seen neither of them talk.

I never said I wasn't enjoying it, I was just hoping for a bit more to the playable characters themselves because they looked cool
and interesting. I know it's not fair to judge a game based on expectations and what it isn't, rather than what it is.

I didn't know that Seventh Saga was actually in the same series as it, though, that's interesting.

Not vr but I feel like return to castle volfenstein did it well.

>>3989578
I liked them earlier on in Wolf3D when it was something that made sense to check. You know, a big swastika flag, bit of wall 'guarded' by old armour or an otherwise symmetrical room with nothing across from a door

Eventually it got really shit with them and secret placement got more random. That was frustrating. I did enjoy the practice of putting a secret within a secret within another secret. Always made me feel like a clever boy for finding them.

I hate them in JRPGs. It's like they expect you to attempt to walk into every wall just to see if you can. That's just tedious. At least put some kind of graphical indicator on the wall that you can walk through it, that way they can pretend they're testing your observational abilities.

>>3989079
Just watch LGR's video on it.

'the hell did he expect. It's a damn game from 1996. I thought the new episode blended in perfectly. Also new voice rips and director commentary nodes everywhere.

New maps were great.
Not that pricetag great.
And certainly not removal of the other versions great.

Played through it. It just takes time, everything you learned through the first play through is thrown out the window since enemies are radically different.

>Does everyone quit after beating the normal game?

>Finish game
>Play it again, but now it's harder :D !!!
Yeah, I'm sure that's the case.
Most kirby games get really hard at some point, but they'll always be labeled as babbie games by casuals.

>>3988091
Illusion of Gaia, what a waste of fucking money.

>>3988091
Dark castle for CDi, impossible and boring

>>3988091
>>3988092
That's enough shit taste for one thread boyos.

You could argue that for Quest but Illusion of Gaia was objectively great.

Does any other game has end game sidequests as good as Chrono Trigger? Those optional bosses and equipment for each party members are wonderful.

Doesn't FF IV - V do this?

Fucker doesn't deserve to join your party, kill the bastard!

Works for me! Nice job on those.
How long ago did you make them?

Come on man, MM8 is easy. Any boss can easily be learnt buster only.

Hope you've been playing the Saturn version.

>>3987903
Frostman first, Tenguman last.. Tenguman is favorite robotmaster in MM8. On the other hand Shadowman is the greatest robot of all time, of all the Mega man series. Skull and Top can fight for the second and third spots.

>>3987912
i never said it was hard, but here's your "you".
I've beaten grenademan and frostman with buster many times too. Searchman is kind of a pain in the ass tho. And astroman, i honestly don't know.

>>3987918
you fight them in the opposite order?

>>3987559
>>3987230
different

>>3987752
This. If you liked Final Fantasy Tactics then you'll feel right at home with Tactics Ogre, same team worked on both.

>>3987230
I tried recently this game, and is sloooooooow. Too slow for my tastes.

It's best played in multiplayer. Even then you will eventually get to the point where you have ridiculous amounts of money and your company gets too big to fail, but at least you will have other people to fuck around with.

I used to play this game a lot, like 8-10 hours every day for years. It was my coping mechanism for depression. Every now and then I would start over again after "winning", but sometimes I would just stare at the little cities and villages and the cars driving in their little streets.

The game really is unbalanced and sometimes in multiplayer I would see players build just airports at the beginning of the game and nothing else, and they would quickly get filthy rich. I think the main attraction of the game is to mess around with the road and railroad system, building networks etc.
The money and the score are there for the normies who want to *win".

>>3986597
Mm, I admit; looking at all the cars and trains going through the cities and villages can be hypnotising desu. I had a very big city with lots of trains going through – it's so satisfying when you make them able to smoothly flow.
And I guess you're right; I have to find someone to play it in multiplayer – maybe that would also remove that eerie lonely vibe that the game has. I know, the cities are growing, there are people travelling and stuff… but it starts feeling quite artificial when you play for a longer time.

Yeah, it's weird. But pretty fun too. I especially like the sequel.

I'm not an expert but I'm guessing it's Keio Flying Squadron

The subgenre is generally referred to as "cute-em-up". It also has some borderline lolicon elements but just tell yourself it's pre-moe.

Konami Lady.

Bubble won't burst. If past trends hold true it will deflate, slowly, over the next decade or so.

Recently played through Turok 2 remaster and was very impressed with the changes they made. Especially the option to have the N64 or PC soundtrack.

If I could pick any game it would be the original Blood on the build engine. Duke and Shadow Warrior are fantastic games that recieved some nice additions with the new releases. Why haven't we seen this fantastic game recieve the same pleasure?

>>3995662

I've heard some forum post rumors that the Turok 1/2 remaster team is working on Blood in secret. No clue if that's true though. That'd be the perfect game to do as well.

The approach of these remasters is to make empirical approximations.

People who play this have no standard at all. It's like playing on a Polystation rather than a Playstation.
