Fuck your Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest, Earthbound and Final Fantasy. This is the best SNES RPG ever. Needs a fan translation NOW!

You had me convinced until you got to 'Earthbound', and every last shred of your credibility went out the window :V

Either way the game itself looks interesting enough.

The thread title and the video (along with related videos) seem to imply that this is the only RPG no one has played.

Very very weird game, that's for sure...

I'll say one thing though.....at least looking at the video finally answered the question to one of my older images..... :P

Post by: Third Eye Lem on February 14, 2010, 09:19:54 AM
Derp. I'll pass. I have enough RPGs and RPG-esque games I've yet to beat/still have stuff to do in them.

-Pokemon Platinum: Trying to get Gold Prints on the Battle Frontier, it's harder than it looks.
-Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal/A Crack In time: My top two picks from the series, and the ones I feel are the best to spend time on.
-Persona 4: Normal NG+, beccause this game is excellent.
-Devil Survivor: So is this one. I wanna beat it at least once, maybe twice so I can enjouy the lack of an EXP penalty.
-Devil Summoner 2: Played it, it's fun. Not sure what I should spend my points on, though.
-Wild ARMs 3: Overlooked and underrated desertpunk JRPG. I love it.
-FFIII DS: Get Black Belt job, get 9999 HP, get all jobs to level 99 to get the bonus equipment, and then pwn the final dungeons. Not that hard to do, it just takes forever.
-FFX: Bleh, I may try a No Sphere Grid Challenge because gaining levels is an absolute pain until near the end of the game. Other than that, I don't think it's worth it.
-Shadow Complex: I've yet to get all the achievements for this game, but it shouldn't be too hard. Dunno about the challenge rooms though...But since there's an achievement attached to it, I might as well try.
-Fire Emblem 9: My [girl]friend has this, and it's my favorite of all the FE games I played. Maybe I'll try FE10 once I beat 9.
-Dream Realm: I wouldn't be playing this if it wasn't on Kongregate and there weren't badges attached to it. I have no life.
-MapleStory: see above, only replace "badges" with "Lilin's Ring [3]."
-Brutal Legend/Batman: Arkham Asylum/Bioshock 1 + 2/Fallout 3: Games I have bought but have not played much, and should, because they're awesome.

Games I have large beefs with:
-Mass Effect: As I said before, playing ME makes me and my computer cry because I don't have good specs on it, nor the money to upgrade it. I may as well just bite it and play the slightly-less-liked 360 version.
-Metroid Prime Trilogy: Good compilation. Prime 1 was great. Prime 2 was...Not so great, I didn't like the difficulty. Prime 3 makes me rage cause of the stupid tokens and my tendency to 100% games I like to play.

Games I have preordered/wish to get:
-Strange Journey: I played three MegaTen games so far, why not another? I look forward to a challen~ge! DOUBLE DEUUUUUUUUUUUCE!
-Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver: Preordered one for myself, another for my [girl]friend. I heard Red's gonna be hard to beat.
-3D Dot Game Heroes: Q-Block style characters in a Zelda-type adventure? Sign me the hell up!
-Arc Rise Fantasia: Lack of specific release date makes me cry, but as soon as it comes out I'm buying it.
-Persona 3 Portable: Now that this version is out, playing the PS2 version seems like a step back for me. I'm willing to wait for this. No, I will not import the JP version.

So, in conclusion, I don't need Maka Maka, nor will I want to play it.

Go get Nocturne, Persona 2 and SMT If... . They are the best in the series :V

Ho-ly shit. Despite how obscure and rare it is, this game sells for less than 30$ used (http://cgi.ebay.ca/SFC-SNES-MAKA-MAKA-Complete-Import-Japan_W0QQitemZ220366990199QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item334ee56b77) and new (http://cgi.ebay.ca/SFC-SNES-MAKA-MAKA-Brand-New-Import-JP_W0QQitemZ220364013413QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item334eb7ff65) on eBay!
Yeah, fuck Earthbound. The only reason it manages to sell at ridiculous prices of up to 500$ is because it's overrated to shit now thanks to all those who keep wanking over it for not being a Yu-Gi-Oh RPG.

Or, y'know, because it's actually a good game. Your assumptions are baseless and stupid. You're already jerking off over this game here and you don't really even know anything about it. Wow.

lmao, couldn't you tell by the absurdity of the statement that I wasn't being serious?
This whole thread was a joke from the beginning. I already know it's shit. I've known this for about 2 years because I read somewhere that the debugging process was skipped entirely. You wanna know why I made this thread? so it could be more widely known for a "so bad it's good" kinda game. That's why.

Then say so. It's incredibly difficult to sense sarcasm when you really leave no indication of it.

Besides, it's not uncommon for people to like obscure games just so they can say they like it-- no matter how shitty it is.

Well, I can't believe there isn't anything on it. I've tried everything, Google, Bing, Ask, Wikipedia, nothing works! I've seen obscure, and this game goes beyond that.

Also, how the hell am I supposed to know it's obscure if I can't find any info on it?

Also, try searching using it's name as written in japanese.

Seen that already.

I've tried using the japanese name too, still doesn't get me anything. Doesn't help there's a Futa manga with the same title.

That's what I planned on, prioritizing Vit and Mag. But I like hitting things with swords too. :V I'm kind of an aggressive player.

Nocturne's on my list, but I'm so backlogged with other games I may never get to it, lol. P2 I heard was good, but I'm not sure if I should get it or not. If... I don't know too well, but if there's a fanslation for it, please point me to a link.

Pretty confident it doesn't have one just yet. Shame, too...

Awesome as the game is, I have to admit Nocturne's difficulty can be flat-out cheap at times, even by RPG standards.

So I heard (and watched from various playthroughs and an LP). It's a matter of picking a skill build and sticking to it, for me.
I have a possible skill build for the protagonist that's a hybrid of magic and physical:
-Focus (for a power boost)-High-damage Physical attack (Divine Shot, Hades Blast, Freikugel)-One spell from each of the fire/ice/force/elec elements, but I'm not sure how useful those four elements will be in the later game compared to Allmighty and Expel.
-Fog Breath (must-have skill)-Either War Cry, Might, or Counter. This last skill is kind of filler to me.
I haven't played the game, obviously, so if anyone thinks my build is cool or crap, please say so. I've seen people go all physical or all magic before, but going with just one kind of damage kind of locks you into your strategy.

Like, having to fight a certain boss twice because :
- I hit him with Divine Shot and the goddamn thing bounced back into my face. THEN the boss proceeded to Beast's Eye Attack Attack Attack and that's it.
- I got hit with FOUR critical Guillotines in a row on my way back to the Terminal, AFTER the battle.

Those four elements are okay but Almighty is beyond useless :V
Fog Breath and War Cry are useful (though I prefer Taunt + Dekaja more), but they cost too much MP. Leave them to your demons and give your MC Tarukaja and Rakukaja instead (Suku is too luck-based).
Might is a must-have. Dump Avenge/Counter for Magma Axis. It'll help in one fight, then replace it with Samarecarm/Life Surge or something.
It's up to you to pick your build, but make sure to enter the last dungeon with a physical build. Your magic won't leave a dent on the final boss (or even the ones before him).

(we need an SMT thread :V)

-Thanks a bunch.
-That's more like bad luck than hardcore difficulty, if you were playing on Hard that would have been the end of you.
-You know what Nocturne guides need? A step by step breakdown of what abilities you need when, instead of just either being paragraphs of text or general lists of what skills you should use, it should break down the areas of the game you explore and suggest a build you need. Maybe I'll make a guide like that...But I never wrote a guide before so...Nyeh.
-And I agree, we neeeeeeed an SMT thread, especially since Strange Journey's coming out next month.

EDIT: Forgive the noob question, but why does this board like to smush paragraphs together like I never used the enter key at all? Honestly.
