We can all agree it's amazing, right?

When does it get good and in what way?

>>379696167
I tried to play it on an emulator.
It was kinda unplayable.

>>379696167
>just googled it for the first time
Sure, anon.

Why did nobody tell me that you don't keep your consumables in ng+? I'm missing some spells now...

>>379696167
Could use a remake with modern controls and glorious HD butts.

One of my favourite games of all time, but it's definitely not for everyone.

>tfw there's not enough Callo Merlose rule34
Akihiko Yoshida has great tastes, truly. It's too bad there aren't too many games were the women look like pure breeding stock.

I really liked the atmosphere and the graphics and story but I couldn't really figure out how to not do 0 damage all the time so I gave up halfway through because i couldn't progress.

>>379696167
>TFW played countless hours back in the day, tried on emulator and its horrible.

Don't fight anything you've never fought before without using Analyze first. You have to use a bit of common sense until you get the spell, though.
Blunt vs skeletons and the Golem
Edged vs unarmoured zombies
Piercing vs anything armoured
Then you can use elements to boost your damage a bit further, but it's not required as long as you're not using something that the enemy has high resistance to.

>>379697447
Callo's greatest problem is that she's a walking plot device for looking into souls of other characters.
Should've been a second controllable character with a knack for ranged combat and scanning enemy.

VS is my favourite game of all time. OF ALL TIME.

>>379698170
>>379696917
Is it me or does it look worse emulated?

Aside from the stupid hair and Ashleys buttocks the game sure does hold up in the aesthetics.

It looks okay with an appropriate aspect ratio, imo

>starts as an edgy immortal antagonist
>game gradually reveals how much of a bro he was for Ashley over the course of a game and that his true aim was selfless
The moment when Ashley carries him out of Lea Monde on his shoulders and later oversees that he can finish his goal was superb.

started playing it after finishing FFT and I'm loving it so far

>god tier setting
>god tier atmosphere
>charming art

kind of like FFT it seems like amazing artistry overshadows the "only ok" gameplay, and I'm fine with that

the one bit I'm still unsure about is what the point of being able to attack individual bodyparts is, doesn't seem to affect anything

>>379698726
Attacking the head lowers INT, the arms STR and the legs movement speed. Though it really doesn't do much most of the time, or when it could be useful are these parts rather hard to hit.

>Special Attack: Bloody Sin

>>379698726
You can cripple an enemies legs to cut their move speed, but rest of the limb penalties seem to be unimplemented for everything other than the player.
Also, different body parts have different resistances, hit chance and defense. Dragons take a lot of damage to the head and neck with the right weapon setup, but both head and neck are harder to hit than the body, for example.

>>379698726
>legs -50% movement speed
>head -50% MP(or magic damage, can't remember)

and >>379699117 this, dragons are really weak to piercing damage on the tail, make sure to stay under the head so they can't use their breath attacks though

>>379699091
*taps L2*

TO ALL THE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT ONLY DOING 0 DAMAGE:

>Make sure your DP(repair at every workshop) and PP(gained from a certain chain attack) are high
>Keep 1 edged, 1 blunt and 1 piercing weapon available at all times
>Analyze the enemies, find their weaknesses
>Use buffs(prostasia, elemental buffs etc), and debuff enemies(tarnish, degenerate)
>set your gems to the right affinities/elements

If all else fails, go balls to the wall with the heavy blow/crimson pain chain, or use the gain phantom/release phantom(can't remember the names) to cheese any boss in the game.

>mfw minimal damage
Just raise your INT and have a good shield with anti-evil gems, I guess.

>>379699425
>pure mage game
>analyze shows slight fire weakness
>stack ifrit carnelians
>fire enchant stave
>goes down in 4 fireballs
Felt good. I still have the NG+ save but I haven't gone into the Iron Maiden depths yet. Looking forward to that one wyvern that has like 1 INT.

>>379699701
>pure mage game
is that even doable given the terrible mana regen speed

>>379698946
Heavy damage on the head silences you and humand enemies, most of the monsters were more or less inmune to the part damage system

>MP Absorb defense ability
>MP absorb/regen battle abilities
Enemies that resist chains can be a pain in the ass but you have Mana Roots/Bulbs for that.

Loved it when it was released
Graphically very advanced at the time (godrays)
Replaying it on an emulator with the absurd time spent in inventory menu's makes me not want to be the reinforcements

>the battle with sydney against grissom

Probably one of my best moments in video gaming history, the story is GOAT

Sydney is unironically my favourite character, both in personality and design. Few games ever managed to make an edgy femboy actually wind up being not only badass, but extremely pity-inducing.

>tfw "I don't take orders from you, worm." smooshing
>that awkward moment when you find out his design and backstory were entirely, openly admitted to have stemmed 100% out of the designer's amputee fetish
>and so are every single other character's designs
>both female and male, because he just swings his mighty fetish bat at everything
