    I completely missed the PS1 era.

    Like, my only experiences were an evening completely obsessed with the Bushido Blade demo, and playing most of the way through Front Mission 3 via my PS2.

    Mind you, FM3 was amazing.

    I tried to play MGS1, too, but I had this chronic inability to actually find a copy. Every time I found a copy for rent it seemed to have gone missing.

    Dark Souls just is like the opposite of a game I want to play.

    First time I played MGS1 was on some sort of demo disc that only had the Japanese version on a borrowed PS1.

    For the longest time the only memories I had of it was the game over screen and people yelling "Snake? SNAKE!!!!" and Pizza Hut.

    I want Dark Souls in everything. Dark Souls strategy game, Dark Souls turn based RPG, Dark Souls Soccer game, Dark Souls Dishonored, Dark Souls Just Cause, Dark Souls Portal, Dark Souls Castlevania. Put a little Dark Souls in everything.

    I was a totally cool guy during the PS1 era

    Nothing strange or abnormal about my game tastes at all
    I was big on PS1 but DDR was life, either in arcades or at home with the two U.S. mixes plus several Japanese imports on a hard plastic pad that cost me like $100

    Oh wow

    *shudders*

    Feels good to get that out there

    Yeah I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have the ability.

    It is actually pretty fun and I'm not actually that ashamed of it

    Well

    I'm ashamed that I can video game dance but am the most awkward actual dancer in existence

    It's like Guitar Hero. Difficult at first, gets much easier. You just have to build the muscle memory is all

    Plus I think dancing is silly.
    Except for like, slow dancing which I think is probably super romantic.

    Fun fact: DDR is part of what led me into being a day one adopter of Guitar Hero 1.

    Harmonix had me at hello because of Frequency and Harmonix, and I knew the build of the guitar would be good because RedOctane made really high-quality dance pads

    7 is the most overrated FF.

    It's still great, but not one of the greatest JRPGs or RPGs in history as it's been hyped to be since release.

    What is the end all be all of RPGs, in your opinion?
    There isn't one

    So that not archived thing that was today, did it put up somewhere like Twitch TV since it won't be on their site?

  • UnbreakableVowUnbreakableVow Registered User regular
    Chrono Cross is so fucking good

    My copy should be in soon

    Still think it's badass that SE sells physical copies of a lot of their old PS1 games

    like look I have played approximately infinity JRPGs and love a whoooole lot of them

    there is not one uber-JRPG wunderkind

    you want a fun, whimsical RPG with great characterization and grinding out the ass?

    play skies of arcadia

    you want one where the combat is incredibly gripping and built to keep you sidequesting until the wee hours of the morning?

    play xenoblade

    there is a whole fucking SPECTRUM going on, even in final fantasies

    chrono cross certainly excels at sabotaging the triumphs of its predecessor and also having an incomprehensible mess of a plot

    the battle system in chrono cross was pretty cool. and it had a lot more references to the original game, but ultimately ditched a lot of them for some reason.

    So Chrono Cross is awesome and CT is not

    Gotcha

  • Cilla BlackCilla Black Priscilla!!! Registered User regular
    Chrono Cross has a really fun combat system and some cool character but yeah the story is a mess.

    And the quality of the music goes without saying. Although I still like Xenogears more.

  • -Tal-Tal Registered User regular
    now hold on a second here UV

    it's one thing to like Chrono Cross, even to like it better than Chrono Trigger

    but what reason have you to say that Chrono Trigger is not awesome

    PNk1Ml4.png
  • -Tal-Tal Registered User regular
    the main strength of Xenogears is that it still uses sprites so it doesn't look like shit in 2012
