Replicating the style and gameplay of the retro RPG in a meaningful way is no easy task, but Zeboyd comes through strong. While its inspirations are clear, Rain-Slick 4 never takes the easy route and becomes a derivative homage piece. This powerful pastiche stands alone with ease and stacks up nicely alongside the 90s greats, although it certainly comes with a distinctly different approach to storytelling.

As much as I’ve praised the comedy, combat, and design of On The Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 4, there’s one element that clearly stands above the rest: the music.
It’s almost a shame that this is the final episode of Penny Arcade Adventures. Rain-Slick 4 manages to outdo all of the previous installments, as well as the entire Zeboyd Games oeuvre.

Zeboyd Games keep getting better and better with every game they make, and the same can be said for the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness series. If you’re a fan of old-school RPG’s, Rain-Slick 4 is a must have as it lovingly parodies the games of the SNES era while it pushes them forward.

Overall I am very pleased with conclusion the Rain Slick series and strongly recommending any fan of the genre and/or humorous writing to give it a playthrough.

I'm hoping for a FF6-esque experience.
I wish it would come out on XBL already.

Here's another really positive review:

Right here.
"Four Gods wait on the windowsill
Where once eight Gods did war and will
And if the Gods themselves may die
What does that say for you and I?
Now, three Gods wait on the windowsill
Where one God's blood was lately spilled
While black tongues lap at the spreading pool
And build the strength they need to rule
When two Gods wait on the windowsill
The wick of the world is burning, still
But when one God in triumph shouts
The candle of the world goes out
And when that candle, bare and white
Sheds at last its dancing light
Then we will rouse, with raiséd rod
To pierce the very house of God"
--The Quartet for the Dusk of Man
Got bored pretty much instantly with the combat. I know that it's not their fault that the original developer wouldn't return for additional games, but bleh.
I hate JRPGs.
I mean, the whole genre is really played out, but the writing and characters make it enjoyable enough.
Also, I tend to get really neurotic when it comes to having a lot of customization options, ESPECIALLY with RPG type games, so I'm really hesitant to really move forward with class pins before learning a bit more about them from someone else who knows this stuff.
Are there any FAQs/Guides that detail useful class pin combinations with the various characters?
I'd like to know how to really get the most out of these guys.
Also, can the pins be changed around once they're assigned? If so, it easy to level up the second class/es to catch up in case I decide to change them around? I'd be a LOT more comfortable experimenting if any changes I make are reversible.
As to 4, I got it an Xbox just like the other 3. Love the music from the brief amount I've played but the combat seems more... jerky than 3? Like in 3, the movement of the turn bar was smooth and basically unnoticeable. Now it seems like the framerate is tripping over a small rock. Is this intentional, am I imagining it, or what?
