There so many versions of Madou Monogatari being MSX, Game Gear,

Mega Drive and Snes games are remakes of the first game but follow a completely different story

Hardo Ghey 101 wrote an article encompassing all games in the series. All games but Big Kindergarden Kids on SNES aren't translated, you'll need to learn Japanese.

Oh of course there's also a PC Engine remake, I completely forgot about that. It uses a different battle system too.

MSX text seems to be Kana-only so that's probably the version to avoid.

PC98 has more graphics than the MSX (e.g. frozen Puyo and burning wolfman) and higher resolution.

Let's be honest here, none of these games are anything special.

>>4044513
Whats that supposed to mean.

>>4044516
They are not that great. The loli character, non-numeric stats and 1on1 battles is all it has going for it.

Why play a loli dungeon crawler when you could be playing Wizardry.

He can't read Japanese so he didn't play them.

>loli
You're ignorance is showing.

>>4044535
Yeah both of us know she is a loli in most games.

>>4044535
What did this game have over Wizardry? And no meme responses like "you should learn japanese", please.

>>4044541
>>4044531
Why cant you play both.

Shiposter is right, Arle-chan and her abrasive personality is the sole reason why I want to play these games.

>>4044543
I don't need to GRUDGINGLY STRUGGLE to decipher moon runes with kanjitomo and google translate to play Wizardry.

My favorites are the Mega Drive MM and SS Madou Monogatari. and also Arle no Bouken: Mahou no Jewel for the GBC. It's a fun series.

>>4044552
>Arle no Bouken: Mahou no Jewel
How's the Rulue Puyo no Nazo game for SuFami?

>>4044557
>>4044552
Oh never mind, that's the pokemon spinoff not the nazo puyo spinoff.

>>4044541
I already played Wizardry and I like to try out different things.
Playing as a pure magician is fun and being unable to see the underlying numbers is an interesting twist. Cute characters are the icing on top.

>>4044551
You have to for the later games. Or even if you want to play the alternate versions of 4.

>>4044560
>Or even if you want to play the alternate versions of 4.
The best version of 4 is translated. And I don't care about the Japanese spinoffs.

>>4044562
Which one is that and what makes it better than the PCE or PS1?
Why would you not be interested in the Japanese spinoffs?

>>4044565
>Why would you not be interested in the Japanese spinoffs?
Because duh, they are not canon, not made by the original dev?

>>4044539
Doesn't that depend on how you count the games?
She's loli in 1 and A but older teen in 2 and 3. In R and S you have a different main character.

>>4044565
>PCE or PS1
Those versions are easier than the DOS original if I recall correctly.

>>4044579
She's a loli in the SuFami, Megadrive, PCE games and the first MSX/PC98 game like you mentioned, she's a teenager in the Saturn games.

>>4044576
Who gives a shit about canon in Wizardry? The games aren't even set in Llylgamin.
None of the Wizardry games after 5 were made by Woodhead or Greenberg. I'm not even sure how much they did for 2 and 3.

>>4044580
Wizardry IV was originally for the Apple ][.
And being easier, especially being less random, isn't a bad thing.

>>4044582
Those are all remakes of the same game.

>>4044589
Yeah yeah I guess she's not technically a loli. It's technically ephebophile according to your own disgusting definitions. My bad.

I'm gonna learn Japanese just so I can play it and tell to you fags to your faces how much this game sucks.

>>4044610
We all know you're not.

>>4044680
Yes I will as soon as I'm done with Sakura Shitsen.
I wish reading this faggot language SUCKED MORE.

The only reason why this series is fondly remembered is because of Arle's epic bantz. No one plays this for the gameplay. Not that turn based dungeon crawlers could have good gameplay even if they wanted to in the first place.

the first one for Game Gear is translated.

>>4044595
Then why are you on 4chan?

>>4044610
Why don't you learn a language that's actually useful, instead? Like Arabic, or Chinese?

>>4044864
more lewd

>>4045297
Can you name some interesting Arabic or Chinese retro games?
Or provide some tips on learning them?

BY THE WAY I CAN READ JAP
Whatever gave you fuckers the wrong idea that I couldn't. It's just that I'm busy with other games at the moment to start Madou Monogatari. Jap aint a difficult language, it's just SLOW as molasses to read.

>>4047013
>it's just SLOW as molasses to read
You don't know the language very well and you're projecting your own lack of proficiency onto the language itself. That's really, really freaking sad.

Of course natives can read fast, motherfucker, this is obvious.

>>4047109
The thing is I'm not a native, barely have a year of study under my belt.
