>Do you like Racing Lagoon /vr/?

It was literally Running in the 90's: the driving RPG, what's not to like?

I like it but it fucks with me in the worst way that japanese RPGs ever do in that I can grasp enough of the story that I don't want to read FAQs due to spoilers but if I don't read the FAQs I trigger events at the wrong time before I "grind" enough from random headlight races OR I trigger events in the wrong order and "fail" which was frustrating because it took a while to get used to the save game mechanics too. I should really go back and give it another spin because the gameplay is so cool.

Squaresoft was god tier during the fifth gen

Translation when?

holy shit this is great

This game interests me. I guess I'd need to know Japanese to get anything out of it though?

>>3099630
Nah, the story unfolds through bigass cinematic interludes so you can just read translations of those and the rest of the game doesn't require you to understand the dialog just to memorize the menus and mechanics.

>>3099127
Absolutely. Why did all went downhill after the merger with Enix?

Is it like Code R?

I was about to pass on it when I read "AESTHETEEEEK" on OP, don't care about hipster stuff, but I checked it and it has actually nice graphics for a PS1 game, doesn't look "90s" to me though, looks just like driving around Tokyo, which is great.
Unfortunately it looks too slow and boring, and those birds eye sections look not fun at all.
Am I wrong?

>>3099641
The merger was a result of it all going downhill, and it all went downhill because of the Final Fantasy movie.

>>3099641

The merger affected Enix, not Square.

>>3099660
If a game actually made during the 90s was praised for its aesthetic, it definitely wouldn't be related to whatever the current internet fad is.

Why are all the cool weird games not translated by fans or officially

>>3099470
this

>>3099719
Because there are thousands of cool games that will be left untranslated for ever learn japanese

>>3099748
I tried in uni, I got decent at it but because I didn't use it much it sort of just, went away.

>>3098684
>jap critics panned it upon release
Wait what?

But why?

>>3099719
Neighbor's grass is always greener.

>>3099785
Especially so when the neighbor is a top class grass manufacturer.

I'd say japan has had it's fair share of terrible games but yeah, when it comes to weird experimental games, they're on top.

Threads of Fate?

>>3101436
Sorry but I forgot to say no JRPGs just because.

From what I see on Youtube, this game looks nicer than Gran Turismo, so I'll definitely play it. Is the lack of a translation a big deal? Seems most of the menus are English anyways.

Why was it received so poorly?

Bushido Blade

Can someone translate what this is about?

I really wanted to play Quest Mode in Tobal 1 but I actually couldn't get past the tutorial. It asked me to punch the elevator button or something but it never worked. Felt like a retard.
