Say what you will but this has got to be the greatest RPG on

This is one of those games I always wanted to play but never got around to it and now I no longer own a PS2.

Anyone know if it emulates well?

>>375807880
Unfortunately no. I played the original on the ps2, but years and lots of stolen disks later I tried to emulate it and there are some issues. Nothing game breaking but shit that annoys.

>>375807697
It's pretty good, but not my favorite RPG on the system, up there with the two SaGa games and Metal Saga though.

Been quite a while since I last tried, but it has this buffer issue, I believe it was, during combat.
.webm from 3rd but same idea.

>>375807697
I've been wanting to play this for some time.

Do I start with this one, of the first game in the series (Shadow Hearts)?

What do you mean?
You cant play through the game with vastly different party setups, there is a new game+ mode where you unlock more of the game, your levels reset, but you keep all the crests and power ups for Yuri from your previous playthrough.

Start with covenant. Its way superior and they basically clue you in to what happened in 1

>>375808453
Can* damn it

>>375808510
So, the stories are self contained?

>>375808452
>of the first game in the series (Shadow Hearts)?
The first game in the series is Koudelka though.

>>375808246
Isn't that just cosmetic though

>>375808729
No its a sequal, but most of the charactters are missing in the second game. Honestly the second games story is better.

Thanks anon

>>375808225
Just buy a PS2. The prices are at all time low now, they'll start climbing up soon

Move along, plebs

>>375807697
if anyone wants to play the serise, i sugets using a guide. there so much side content you can miss while playing the games and the side content in SH is what makes the game good.

>>375808453
i dont have that level of autism but if thats what you like, go for it.

>>375813634
the first game was better. hell, nocturn was better than both.

>>375807697
