If you have a simple vocabulary the whole thing is in kana so it's not that hard to read. Really there isn't much that you are gonna miss outside of some really bad story.

Just remember...
"palm trees and 8"

Yeah, I've been studying Japanese for the 5 years or so (been kind of lazily studying in the 5th year though). I've got hiragana and katakana down pat. It's the kanji that I still can't read perfectly.

>>4246950

I'll try and keep that in mind

Sounds disturbingly like Sinneslöschen.

Company was established that year. Let's find this shit.

>>4247243
UPDATE: I called and got a busy signal. Also, there's multiple companies called Sargon.

Sounds like you just found a business opportunity. 3D printer, some cheap plastic and someone semi decent with 3d modeling for a one time mock up.

What are they? Module game cases?

Just stop

>even 4
What exactly are you implying?

>>4246746
It's not even linear

>>4246752
As opposed to non-linear (II, SotN, etc.)

>>4246749
4 is fun, but a tad too much on the casual side.

I discovered the W-item trick in FF7 on accident.

I got stuck in a wall Baldurs Gate once

Just the other day my wife discovered a glitch in Culdecept for the PS2 where a shatter card would disappear if you backed out before selecting a target.

>>4246420
For FF6, I ran into Psycho Cyan when I was a kid. That was crazy. Could never duplicate it until the internet became what it is.

Also found X-zone/Doom on accident as well.

In Lufia II on the SNES, in the config menu, you had the option of changing from mono to stereo sound. It also had some other weird effects sometimes. It would rearrange the letters of a character's name (uGy, eSlan), and temporary characters could be killed and set to level 0. Level 0 specifically was really interesting because it maxed the character's stats and they became almost unkillable. The HP bar did not correspond to their current HP. Their exp required to level up was calculated at the end of every battle (as per normal), but it took several seconds to display because the number calculation took a lot of time. I was unable to replicate this bug in an emulation environment and it doesn't even always work on the console either. I never see anyone else report that bug, but it definitely requires hardware to happen.

I don't see why you wouldn't post this in the /crt/ general. I'd have answered, there.

I would have - Google brings up an archive post from this forum.
Also I'm exclusively using it for retro gaming too so figured it fit.
Any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated.

only multiformat so go with that. 14 is kind small but its ok for a small setup.

Don't.

>>4246195
You are a scalper too.

Normally I'd say just wait a couple months for demand to die down and stores to get restocks in, but that'll put us ass-deep into Christmas season, so just wait until New Year's I guess. Last January is when I got Smash Bros. Link for $7, and Ganondorf & Ryu each for $4.

I bought it just for the novelty

Do Elder Scrolls, Ultima will bore you.

Kinda agree with >>4245726
Ulitima is less about roleplaying as you're defining it, and more about puzzle sovling, deciphering cryptic hints, drawing your own maps, etc....

The early Ultima games place you in first-person dungeons. It's only the overworlds and towns that are explored in a top-down perspective. So they still feel like dungeon crawlers. Later games integrate the dungeons onto one ubiquitous game world map, so those are more like Tibia I guess.

The Ultima games don't have very good writing. I can't say I've ever cared much for the whole "collect all virtues" story arc that pervades the series. So from a role-playing perspective, you may find the series to be pretty lackluster.

For a less common suggestion: I'll go out on a limb and say King's Quest: Mask of Eternity. It's technically not a role-playing game, but it's probably a lot more immersive than your run-of-the-mill CRPG.

>>4245538
it's overrated. lovely bait though

That game literally saved the franchise.

>>4245538
The first two are the only ones that hold up because everything else is painfully easy.

The game came out as Wu-Tang - Shaolin Style but the original mostly finished Thrill Kill was ripped anyway so you can just play that. It's not even that good.

>>4245489
Doesn't have the same appeal as Mario 2.

>>4245491
Modchip your console and burn an iso of the original game or just emulate it. It's not that great, feels like there's too much RNG and the finishing moves get tiresome after watching over and over.

Never had it, but were any SEGA Channel games different from retail? I've never seen SEGA Channel versions of ROMs, but I'm assuming out of the many games on the service, at least a few would have changes.

>>4245472
Ya and it was hot garbage. Had it for like 3 months and barely used it. Calling it an "online game service" is a stretch.

>>4245505
They released an exclusive US version of Alien Soldier on Sega Channel and an exclusive level pack for Garfield Caught in the Act, there are probably more but these are the only ones that caught my interest.

The game is linear. Only in one particular part of the game there's a bunch of dungeons that you can finish in any particular order, but you still need to complete all of them anyway.

The path-branching is the class system. Later on the game you will have the option of changing your class, and it goes like pic related. Normally light classes are more support-ish and dark classes are more damage oriented, but I'm not sure if all of them are like that.

Dark Light and Light Dark are not the same, as they would be, "a support-ish upgrade to the dark class" or a "a damage oriented upgrade to light class".

That's pretty much it.

Your choice of main character will determine which of the three villains becomes the main villain, and you'll see a few extra scenes depending on your other two character choices, but that's it.

>>4245447
This is pretty much it. The campaign has a lot of variables, but they're determined in advance by the party you chose when starting the run. Instead of making choices as you play you just replay the game with different team combinations to see what changes.

As >>4245394 said, you have a lot of options with building your three heroes, so two teams of the same three characters could end up playing very differently.

I stopped enjoying the game as much when I started using guides on how to properly craft a monster/ weapons/ etc.

I would say play it blind, then play it with more help again years later

Legend of mana is such a beautiful and peaceful game

>>4245260
Yes. It's best played blind first. There's replayability to it so if you like it gives a good reason to use guides second time around.

>>4245260
The world building only comes into crafting and monster ranching, which really are just cool things you can do for fun, and you can play the entire game without ever going into the workshop.

Legend of Mana is a very special game, and playing it blind drives home that uniqueness. It has a strange, dreamlike feeling that permeates every beautifully-drawn screen, and all the characters are lovable and very "timeless" in their personas. Plus, a lot of side-stories are really heavy with the feelz. Coupled with some interesting and customizable combat, it's a really enjoyable game to play.
