What about this game was so terrible that it made everyone call

>>3508127
Short as fuck and boring. Golden Sun also sucked. Being a prototype for that game isn't good in any way.

>>3508127
It's a massive cliche pileup and has no real difficulty or innovation to speak of. It was just really dull.

>>3508127
>Worst RPG on the Playstation
>Not LoD

Who ARE these people?

You said it OP it's like a prototype or proof of concept. It was the first RPG available in the US though and it's way better than Quest 64 so...

>>3508165
Quest 64 is a good game you gigantic faggot

>>3508165
>quest 64
don't remind me

>>3508163
Legend of Dragoon is bad but BtB is even worse. No joke.

>>3508127
> I had a lot of fun with it as a kid

That's the key. When you play something as a little kid it affects you in a certain way. Likely it was one of your first RPGs so it will naturally stand out. For everyone who played it later on when more experienced it was a turd.

wasn't one of my first rpgs, my first RPG was final fantasy 1, didn't really care much for them until my aunt left FF4 over at my house though.

was the first rpg I played when I got a playstation though, if anything the game is simply mediocre, I just don't think it deserves its reputation as the worst rpg on playstation, there has to be worse, guardian crusade comes to mind for me, but some people like that game so I guess its subjective in the end

>>3508197
Explain the scenario where you played FF1 then 4 and were still a kid by the time Beyond the Beyond came out.

>>3508278
My first videogame was when I was six. Know what it was? Altered Beast. I was born in '89

My friend had this POS.

I told him Mario RPG was superior he disagreed.

Graphics sucked. Massive dungeons with random encounters every 3 seconds.

>>3508282
So if you were 17 when the game was released why did you say you had a lot of fun with it "as a kid"?

>>3508308
I'd cut that off at 12

>>3508282
You were still super young, and likely the main reason why you didn't see it as being as bad as it was. It's a terrible game, there might be a worse RPG on the system but it doesn't make it less bad.

>>3508308
>born in 89
>BtB released in 95
>17 years

>>3508319
I'm a different person from the OP, newfag.

>>3508356
Then why are you replying to me directly asking the OP and not pointing out you're someone else?

>>3508278
I was born in 85, so I was 10 when btb came out, and even then I'd consider anything before 14 a child really

>>3508127
>It's essentially the prototype to golden sun
You just explained why it's terrible.

Golden Sun is literally babby's first JRPG and cool summon/equipment system aside is complete shit. BtB is even worse.

>>3508127
Watch out for those cursed scarfs.

worst part is samson being cursed for like half the game, and you are basically forced to lug around a useless character, and even then, after he gets uncursed his stat growth is still abysmal for w/e reason, so much for being an unbeatable hero

>>3508127
It doesn't bring much to the JRPG table, and feels more at home on a 16-bit console than the Playstation.

Now, I found it mediocre, just too by-the-book, and very weak compared to the pletora of RPGs on the system. The character design is awful, on the other hand I liked the OST.

>>3508310
I felt like a kid until college started, looking back. Dumb decisions, few responsibilities compared to adult life, no real worries, not fully aware of the world around even though I thought I was, no real money or freedom, other people had control over my life. 19 year old me was vastly different from 16 year old me, but 16 year old me was not that different from 8 year old me, but 16 year old me had anger and bitches.

I hated the last dungeon. The rest of the game wasn't really that fun.

>prototype to golden sun

Well, there's your answer. Golden Sun is fucking shit, so the prototype must be worse.
