keep in mind when this was released, SM hype was at all time high in Japan/Korea. The target audience would have already known all the backstories. The game isn’t meant to be a standalone narrative like CT or FF6, but “another story” to the franchise. There’s a reason why an official English version was never released. Also by the time SM gained traction in NA, the SNES was on its way out. So it makes sense since there was no demand for one.

Ha! My dog used to howl along with the Sailor Moon theme song.

I really wish Sailor Moon had gotten more RPGs because it lends itself so well to the genre! The lack of descriptions for the environment is a small detail I often get frustrated by as well. It's a great opportunity to make the world feel alive and even pack in some world building.

Coming from somebody who had zero interest in Sailor Moon, watching you play it kinda sold me on trying it sometime. Looks really fun.

"We pretty much poked each other for 30 minutes." LOL

Honestly I didn't notice how empty of game-interactions the houses and other rooms were in this game until I watched your view. During your live stream, you kept us all entertained and engaged with fun conversation during these "lets go tap all the walls" segments. The fun music and colorful art and sprite work really made this game stand out, and me and my daughter spent many enjoyable evenings watching your live streams of this game. Thank you again for the detailed discussion of this game, it was a real treat to watch this morning!

Your show is amazing. Thanks for the hard work, unique content and in depth analysis that really gives the viewer a feel for the gameplay experience. There are very few channels that give you in 10 minutes an experience of playing a game that realistically you never are going to get time to play yourself. Thanks!

Love it! And your intro music is so warming.

Goriya content two weeks in a row? 2021 really *is* getting better!

I have got to say, I absolutely love your interest and videos covering retro games. Thank you for another great video ☺️

Seeing this underappreciated channel cover this underappreciated game is a special treat. Both are fantastic! I remember discovering this game at the height of both my Sailor Moon zeal and RPG fanaticism, back in the late 90s. It was a near-perfect blend of everything I loved from both; the game was a little rough around the edges, but then so was the anime. The source material was treated with care rarely seen in a licensed title. (If you have any remaining interest in the anime, check out the third season, "S!" It's the only season covered in this game that you hadn't seen in the original Canadian airing, and in my opinion it's the best.)

Grew up watching the English dub on Toonami after school. I fondly remember emulating this game and even learned to play a few of the songs from the OST!

Your videos are so cozy, and they remind me of a simpler time. Good work!

Thanks for reviewing this. I've been throwing this around as something to play for a couple of years now and this video helped me decide to hold off on it, was great hearing you talk about it in-depth.

Oh man. I remember when this fan translation came out. I was so stoked.

That was a good overview! I have heard of this game but didn’t know much about it. I don’t feel in a rush to play, but good to know it is a solid entry available

Oddly, my experience with Sailor Moon has been the complete opposite of yours. I only watched a couple episodes here and there of the American TV broadcast. Then a friend of mine found some tapes of the last two seasons in Japanese. Things got REALLY weird in that series, I'll just say that. When I first found out there was a Sailor Moon RPG I burst out laughing. I instantly started playing it, even though I had no idea there was an English patch (or maybe it didn't exist back then, this was a long time ago). I didn't expect to get very far, but somehow I managed to blunder through a large chunk of the game before I just couldn't figure out where to go next. I felt like it was a surprisingly good game and was sad I couldn't play it for real. I never did figure out what was up with the magic points. It actually kinda makes sense that Saturn is OP. If I recall correctly she has the power to destroy the entire universe, and the outer scouts were trying to keep her from gaining her powers so she wouldn't be able to do it. Then, of course, Sailor Moon comes in with her whole power of friendship deal to set things right, or something.

This was a great review tysm! My SO is very much a super fan of the show and I wanted to see if maybe I could share on her enthusiasm by playing this, but I might have to get her to sit beside me and spout lore at me during my playthrough haha.

This game seems to have a lot of impressive mechanics along with the good graphics. I really enjoy your articulate, fair, and thorough reviews.

Oh crazy! There's a website I've been buying SNES games that didn't release here (like Ys 4 and Terranigma) and this is one of the games listed there. Maybe I'll give this one a go! Thanks for the lovely review and glorious insight!

Ooo I was not expecting to see this review. I'm glad you ended up finding the game a lot of fun! I definitely have some nostalgia for this game despite not being very familiar with the series the first time I played. In fact, I think this was my very first introduction to the series. I love the music and sprite work of the game, and while I did lack the context for the series, I think the story did a good enough job to keep me engaged. Its kind of unfortunate the gameplay itself tends to be tedious and grindy, some sections would absolutely demotivate me from continuing. Thankfully there was a balance patch made for it alongside the new translation, so if you ever replay the game I definitely suggest trying those patches out.

Terri Hawkes as Sailor Moon was like Sean Schemmel as Goku, just sounds right.

Sailor Moon was a little before my time... The magical girl show I remember watching when I was little was Cardcaptor Sakura, shame the English dub sucked so much, but the show stuck with me enough that I later got into the manga, and eventually watched the anime subbed and I loved it! Unfortunately, I can't say Sakura lucked out as much as Sailor Moon when it comes to video game adaptations... Sailor Moon's got an RPG, some decent beat'em ups, fighting games, even puzzle games! Good stuff... The only Cardcaptor Sakura games I found were one which I believe to be a minigame collection on GBA, and a visual novel that I can't read (yet) on WonderSwan...

Oof this game brought up such a roller coaster of thoughts when I played it. So much goodness and talent, along with so much laziness in game design that makes you ask "why". Like there's such a large amount of tactical choice in the gameplay but almost no reason to bother with exploring it. I feel like cluster formation and sailor saturn are kind of like just making everyone spam ultima in final fantasy 6. Except in this game you can pretty much do it from the start. I'm a pretty big sailor moon fan, read the manga in japanese and watched all the series and movies and it really does make a difference as far as the story goes. The game really does deliver on the novelty of actually playing a team of sailer scouts and going on an adventure. The special attack animations just feel so satisfying when you're already familiar with them from the show. I was sold from the beginning despite how everything outside the story and graphics felt kind of hollow. The things that were well done in the game really did keep me plodding on. Although if it weren't for the franchise I might have put it aside well before the end.

Ah, yes... the weird licensed stuff from anime we love. Same thing happened to me with both Athena no Seinto and Rurouni Kenshin.

Thank you for covering this wonderful JRPG. I love Sailor Moon, and I wished that it was released in North America back in the day.

0:15 this is such a mood lmao. Can’t wait to watch this through in full when I get the time! Have never seen any sm but always up for an obscure JRPG.

I feel in love eith this game as soon as i played it. Since i was really a fan of the storie, O didn't have much trouble to get it, although I can recognize that some Japanese terms throw me off a little. However the voice actong on the attacks was my favorite part. I love Japanese voice acting so for me wasn't a trouble. The music is spectacular, directly from the series. Such amazing work. Th only part that is a downer for me is the grinding. So difficult to gain experience once you have a high level, sometimes its get annoying. Anyway, excellent video 😊

What got me was the one blatant FF6 reference: Terra's Esper form.

I still remember that wonderful time around 2000 or so, when people online were talking about sailor moon and there were all these websites, I could find out everything we'd missed on this side of the pacific, plus Toonami was airing seasons 3 and 4 less edited than before.. it was pretty special. but my super moonhead friends did tell me that the videogames were a letdown. not bad, but not really worth playing.

I tried all these on emulation but didn't take the time to really beat them. I give you props for playing through it!

(before video) Definitely one of my favorites, even if the translation is a bit off at times (English phrasing is horrendously difficult-I know this firsthand as my native is NOT English), mostly leading to more than a couple handfuls of grammatical and structure errors. 4:42 One of my gripes is with the explanations and names of the ailments. Yeah, consider me afflicted by 'selfishness', lolz 6:56 Pork chops are a status ailment reliever. Yeah; it's for numbness. I consider those 'treasure items' and sell them off. 8:50 Given Hotaru has power directly from *_Talamiura,_* the Governess of Death/Darkness, it's not a surprise that in game, her power is exceptional. It's very lore-friendly, if a bit too much. Problem is that she can deal it but can't take it. Tradeoff? Hm. 10:24 Some of the most powerful healing moves are locked to the Senshi Link. In fact, those would be the only remotely useful skills apart from a few offensive AoE skills like Uranus+Neptune to name one. They all use a lot of EP though. 10:32 Victory, or Cluster. 14:10 I'll have to look that up. Good to know. ... A lot of the original story of the anime was altered for the US English dub. So, there's a lot that this game delves into that will likely be lost on some lesser-fortunate fans of the series, and not just the fact that the majority of the cast were lesbian/bi. Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon is as 'gay harem' as (something I cannot mention on this platform without risking the busted-arse broken algorithm AI falsely censoring me), and the cast, to boot, is adamant about self-defense by any means possible, definitely censored in the US storyline. ... The time travel that the story of this game provides, exists in a bubble, a sandbox; the bubble/sandbox just happens to end up containing all life on Earth and the Moon, because Apsu is powerful enough to pull it off. It's Garland and the 2,000 year time loop, presented in a slightly altered format, and without direct implications of said loop. If Apsu really is sick, her symptoms should be having her bedridden, so I believe she's faking it for sympathy, and wow, does she get said sympathy. Lots of it. (my little tangent on Apsu)

I believe the re-translation is based on VIZ's localization of the series. They would often use phrases found in the dub.

This was such a great game. I don't remember exactly where in the story but there was one part where you're in an ice land as Amy. I had some weird combination come out where the boss could only hurt me enough to where I had to heal now and then but my attack only took a small amount of it's hp, I'm talking like 1-3 per hit. That fight literally took me hours somehow and I was soooooooo relieved when I finally beat it everyone other than Amy had died a long time ago.

This actually looks like a ton of fun, and the production values here are just fantastic. Sadly, I am quite the noob when it comes to Sailor Moon, but I kinda want to give this a try anyway

I still love this game and i agree with you on the pro and cons about this game. Great informative video

I played this before I'd watched a single episode of Sailor Moon; my sister had been into it when she was younger, but she and I are quite a lot of years apart, so I'd just written it off as some kids' show that I wouldn't enjoy. Within the last few years, I've watched the entire series, and since I remember so little of this (even a lot of what I saw in this review), I think it'd be interesting to play again, now knowing who any of these characters are. I do remember that the Sailor Senshi went from just about useless to completely overpowered once you found their matching accessories, and a brick wall boss gauntlet about halfway through that softlocked me because I couldn't grind, but not a lot else.

I just bought this game last year and added it to my backlog. Can't wait to check it out. If you have Hulu then you can watch all 5 seasons of Sailor Moon on there. I also grew up with the NA dub version, and watching it with subs and the origibal Japanese voice actors is the best way to go. My daughter and I watched it a couple of years back. So glad to have finally been able to complete the series.

I've never played this game, but I've always salivated over the screen shots. You're so right - the sprites are like top 5 in the 16 bit generation. And I feel like modern RPG sprite sheets are quite hard to do well. My ex wife was a huge sailor moon fan, so I've seen a lot of sailor scout media... I highly recommend the 2000s live action Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon for so bad it's good entertainment.

Hidden gem! (Good point about how you probably need to know the later arcs to agree though 😂)

Oh you're in Canada! Toronto? I used to love Sailor Moon as a kid (crush on her, wanted to be tuxedo mask yada yada yada), but my ex from a few years back was obsessed with the English dub. So I went with her a couple times to the Sailor Moon Con at the Science centre, which was honestly pretty cool. Sailor moon was a pretty awful dub in hindsight, but the IP was really cool. The show had some themes that were pretty cool and progressive. Much like Power Puff Girls it really felt like the media's way of introducing kids to the girl power themes that 3rd wave feminism seemed to bring with it. Kickass and cute aesthetic. Emotional yet powerful, check. I wish I was old enough to appreciate JRPG type games in the 90s. But alas I was born in '93 and my SNES days were strictly, Zelda, Mario, and DKC at my grandma's.

I was one who watched a lot of the original dub. I was so wanting more I was one of those dorks who found the rest online in the early days of the internet. Even lucky enough to find decent fan subs! Through this I found out just why they didn’t go beyond what they dubbed originally. That dub edited a lot just to make it safe for tv at the time, and some of the later subject matter wouldn’t have gone over well without more heavy editing. If you are a fan it’s worth the watch, and the ending! It … I can’t even vaguely comment without spoilers! Anyways, enough with my super fan rant. I always wanted to find this game. It’s both RPG and Sailor Moon so it is a must. Unfortunately, from what I heard, it’s one of those you do need to be a fan who has seen up to a point. I hate tie in games and movies that do that. I know it’s hard to design something for the uninitiated but not everyone knows all the Sailors! Anyways, this wasn’t a review of the anime, but I tend to rant and I love Sailor Moon 🌙 and for those who say “it’s a girl show” come on man! I was a young teen who saw cute girls use super powers to destroy evil! What’s not to love?

This is such a great channel.

When I played this I used a dual patch with both the English translation as well as a grind be gone feature which greatly reduced the amount of grinding required to advance thru the game making my life much easier....plus I agree being someone who has only watched the English dub of the original anime, and having never finished it at that, some greater context to the story and characters I was unfamiliar with would have gone a long way...great review tho!

Great review. As much as I love SM and how beautiful this game looks I doubt I will ever get to it. Was a fun stream to watch though:)

I recently also tried another anime-based RPG for the SNES, Ranma 1/2: Treasure of the Red Cat Gang. Now, if you've never seen Ranma... hunt it down, now. You won't regret it. (Though it might be a good idea to read the manga instead, especially if you end up liking it enough to want to read the whole thing). Maybe review that one in the future? I was actually gonna post a long review about it but then I realized I don't want to bias you before you've even played the game. I would strongly recommend being familiar with the source material first though.... though in Ranma's case its far easier to get caught up.

Everyone knows Japan only has one TV model :P Seriously though, this game looks way better than I expected

This game introduced me to the outer scouts when I was younger, I thought I knew sailor moon. But I played the game in Japanese so I never finished it because I was so lost. The graphics were pretty great though.

Accidents are why pencils have pork chops

Great video HG. I agree, this game does a good job of capturing the feel of the anime. Though I was a bit disappointed by the lack of the track "The Outer Senshis" from the anime. As for the game, I tried it initially in the early 2000's, got frustrated with the grind-y nature, and restarted a new game with a cheat that starts off all playable characters at level 16. Er ... as Sailor Moon might say "私のホバークラフトは鰻でいっぱいです" :D

I remember seeing Sailormoon rented in the Video store in the mid-late 90's, manga was new and else only you could see it on some cable channels, after 9 evening. Guyver for example was discontinued on Tv after a few episodes cause of violence, graphic adult scenes and such, so renting was the thing and using 2 video recorders to copy, good memories. Even shin-chan was around in the early 2000's and an odd kid show for Europe. 90's, manga was pretty unique still. The games here were never available either in the EU, far I know. But I started with emulators of Zsnes since 97 and then early translations for Japanese Snes games! Wish I bought way more Snes games back in the 90's and 00's, then the dozen I got.

I remember having a LOT of trouble during the boss battle for Sailor Mercury's solo mission.

For any fans of Sailor Moon I'd recommend checking out the Revolutionary Girl Utena anime. I got into it after playing the Saturn fan translation of the game, now it's one of my favourite animes.

I've been checking out Sailor Moon on KZfaq these days! Though, I'd personally be more into a beat 'em up than an RPG

One of many games not released here on there original console that I first played on a friend's PC though some of the non-licensed games I played that way were released here later. Also one of the first animes I watched though I didn't know what anime was at the time. The order I started watching my first 5 animes was Technoman/Tekkaman Blade, Starblazers, Robotech, Sailor Moon, and Gundam Wing I believe (I may have three and four flipped but the rest I'm sure on)

Very well made video as always!

I can still hear the attack screeches in my head. Also pork chops solve just about everything. Sorry this game didn't quite live up to what you were hoping for, but you'll always have Artemis with this wide-eyed optimism. Excellent work as always!

Hey! A game I actually recognize. My wife definitely makes some of these oddities a bit more understandable. Alienating an audience is never good, but I guess it is understandable for the developers to expect you to know what you're playing. But a little exposition would be nice. You did a great job with this one! I do hope one day we might get something new with the Sailor Moon franchise.

Gonna play this now

i remember my younger sister playing this game on emulator back in the day, it must have been close after or in 1999 (when this translation patch first came out), i was more into rpgs than she was so i tried to watch her play and give her tips. i think she got very far in the game but not sure if she beat it. she was (like you) a fan of sailor moon, and also not familiar with the characters that didn't air on tv here.

What nostalgia! I´ve watched it on german channel (I think RTL2), just becuse it was before Pokemon. And then I believe there was Dragon Ball Z from 20.00 and it had teletext CHAT! Oh man, I´ve blown a lot of money when sending SMS to abroad xD

I remember this game! Had a lot of fun playing it even though I never finished it. Seeing this makes me want to go back and give it another go.

I need to find a copy, looks pretty fun!

I wonder what it would look like if the Opposito Senshi had cosplayers. When I went to a comic convention and got to talk to the Jacksonville Sailor Sensi cosplay team, they asked about ideas, and I mentioned them. They didn't know about the translated ROM, so I mentioned it. In 2016, I bought the various Viz subtitled DVDs, so I knew what the later characters were. I discovered ROMs and emulators in 1999, and played the Super Famicom and Megadrive beat-em-ups. I thought they were awful and laughed so hard at them. If I won the lottery, I'd pay the AVGN to review them. I'd rather shove a magic wand up my nostrils and fry my brain with a spell!

It was quite a moment when Sailor Venus out of nowhere decided to be really mean to Sailor Moon.

My memories of Sailor Moon go like this: Young kid sees Anime, "Hey neat" Hears name of Moon's BF 'Tuxedo Mask', laughs. Has crush on Sailor Jupiter. Becomes a teenager and finds out Jupiter is a lesbian. 🤯🤦

You do a good job. Just found ya. Keep up the good work Hungry Goriya.

Funny you mention looking down at the controller for the thief battles in Yoshi's Island. I used to do the same thing when I was a kid. That button layout is now permanently burned in my brain. Makes playing games with an Xbox controller rather tough, though.

Good review. I was really young when I saw Sailor Moon. Kinda want to watch the DIC dub again. Idk about the jrpg though. I still need to try Arabian Nights on SFC some more.

Great and honest review of the game.

While I totally respect the idea of creating a game thats aimed for the hardcore fans of a series, this game is a bit too.. I dont know, vague, for those who arent as familiar with the material. There's one quest early one where they say, and Im paraphrasing of course, "We need to go where we first met her". With pretty much an entire town open to explore, and nothing else to guide me, it felt like fumbling my way in the dark. Other than that, Im a big fan of it.

I remember getting pummeled by the party split as a kid. The benched team was way behind and got obliterated by random encounters. Traumatizing.

Well, Neptune and Uranus are lovers, so try to make joint attacks with thoes two or them and Pluto.

Liked and subbed after listening to your beautiful voice only for 5 seconds

13:52 yup. This is the “Keikaku means plan.” school of 90’s fansubbing where, congrats you’ve got some proficiency, you’ve done your homework, why the hell do you have to spell it “Bentou set” or use terms like Hotaru-Chan or Older Sister 3:21 “He looks just like my sempai.” 12:52 “Go study more, odango head” C’mon, you weebs, you’re willing to sacrifice readability just for something as dumb as the slight incorrectness of “dumpling head”. Rom hacking is not easy, and something like this is just snatching defeat from the jaws of victory . On the upside, 32 megabit SFC rpg, lots of animation with big sprites and cool enemy designs that follow the show. Late generation SFC/SNES is a real treat

Now i know why a lot of people love this game, quite interesting mechanics and near graphics, gotta check it out, but now romancing saga 2 is calling me, grear video thank you for your hard work

I love sailor moon and artimis is amazing

Great review! I was always curious about this one. I remember first coming across this when I was looking for a gift for my sister's birthday 3 years ago and snagged her some retro games for her Retron5, though I ended up getting her a copy of the puzzle game Fuwa Fuwa Panic instead (still looks great though; I think a lot of the Sailor Moon SFC gamse look pretty dang good), but I forgot it existed afterwards and just never got around to checking it out. Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm genuinely surprised there aren't more RPGs for the brand... or magical girl RPGs in general. I mean, they never really do _fight scene-style fights_ in these shows traditionally, they always just talk & eventually throw out special attacks (spells) all the time when taking on villains. Seems like RPGs would make a better fit for "classic" magical girls (newer stuff like Madoka Magica and, like, Flip Flappers or Magical Spec Ops Asuka show magical girls that can actually fight and would be a better fit for fighting games), yet there are so few out there. Is this the only Sailor Moon one? Good on you for highlighting it then, but that is really weird....

Heh we have a similar experience with Sailor Moon when it comes to the show. :)

All I could think of while watching this were all the Harry Potter RPGs on Game Boy, and how weird it is that so many pop culture icons actually dared to dip their toes into the genre. You didn't happen to be into HP at all, did you? Have you played those games?

sailor moon is so amazing

Game relies on your pre-existing knowledge a lot sure but considering how much stuff was put in to that game it was a technical marvel. If they would've put every character's backstory in to the story in extensive detail instead of just quickly summarizing it up, it would have required cartridge twice the size.

Don't worry. The first Sailor Moon beat-em-up on the SNES was pretty bad. The Sailor Moon R game at least improved the playability. The two SNES beat-em-ups had their music reused in the RPG. Also, never mention the arcade game, unless you have friends, and expect to pump in quarters. I remember my sister playing this one, when we discovered SNES9x. I was more into Chrono Trigger at the time, trying to figure out why holding L+R+A wasn't working. BTW, this never goes anywhere near the SuperS season. In fact, it fits somewhere after S and before SuperS. Be grateful for that.

Even doing research I had some trouble with this game - the difficulty is unbalanced you either get floored or destroy everything: no middle ground or strategy like you said. It makes me wonder about the true target demographic because it is simultaneously easy to play combat wise but tough to get to the point where you can do that at some points. I took a few breaks out of frustration but I would like to get back to it. I think once I finish rewatching season 3/S I can dive head into it. A lot of things feel like chores like you mentioned the link which I totally agreed with - all you do is manually match the girls in groups, why do that I wonder? It felt like busy work, didn't teach much of anything other than what the attack is. Still overall it is compelling as a fan from a story telling perspective but would be better suited as a movie than a game in my opinion because the interactive part feels a bit flat. I love it because I am a fan but otherwise I couldn't recommend it, to others. I think from what I wrote just now we probably agree over-all, I'm just hashing out what you said differently from my perspective. Spot on.

hey hold on, I don't see your signature zelda 1 meat on the thumbnail, ha really good looking game though, if I was a sailor moon person I'd easily give this a go

I never really got this series, I think it's because it wasn't shown on television here in the UK at the same time it was either being made or broadcast in the US, and then there would be better things to be watching or doing with your time, like, would pokemon have been as popular elsewhere has it not shown the show in english

Yeah, Saturn is basically the bringer of the apocalypse so her being overpowered makes sense in the lore. Very strange gameplay choice though lol. Also, wouldn't Pluto die every time she used time stop? 🤔

I love this game so much, it's right up there with Chrono Trigger and Earthbound as some of the best games of all time, imo.

I watched this show back when I was a horny teenager back in the 90s, for the reasons horny teenagers watch things like this. Having said that I tried my best to pay attention to characterization and lore. Personality and characterization means a lot to me, because anyone can draw an attractive and sexy female, and when you have a show or game, you need to have more than that. I like the fact there were many different girls, but they would fight/argue all of the time (and I mean ALL of the time) which was one of the main turn offs. Mercury and Mars where the biggest offenders. Sailor Moon herself was a massive off put by me; I can appreciate an MC *not* being a cookie cutter good guy, you can have a character with "personality" without making them a selfish, mater... like Link from the Super Mario Bros. super show. Serena and Darian are essentially Link and Zelda from that show, with the gender's swapped. I have watched the Outer scout arc, so I'll fill you in on them: Sailor Saturn's only attack is the End the World. That's it. In the game she can just use it like Ultima from FF6 but she LITERALLY cannot use her magic without blowing the planet up. Sailor Pluto is flat out NOT allowed to used her Time Stop power and cannot even leave her lair unless she is told to. Uranus and Neptune are a lesbian couple in the Japanese (in the English Dub, there are "cousins"). The "Outer" scouts have their own agenda, and conflict with the OG team like the Marvel Civil War. A lot of the character reveals were seen coming miles away, such as Darian being Tuxedo Mask and being married to Serena 1000 years ago, Renee being Serena and Darian's daughter, and if you didn't guess that the grey kitten was Luna and Artemis's child, you haven't been paying attention (it gets exceptionally cringeworthy when Luna outright accuses Artemis of cheating on her, even though it's obviously HER CHILD). Some of my favorite things in the game is Lita/Jupiter wanting to be a housewife/cook/sew person in spite of being the physically strongest, in an age where everyone was making "strong female characters" who don't need no man because being capable of taking care of yourself without having a man 100% of the time and being a damsel are not exclusive traits (also women in Japanese society trained in the use of the Naginata (japanese polearm) and Native American women trained with men with the Composite Bow, and both still did the standard housewife thing in both cases). Her backstory implies people pick fights with her because of her size (Japanese kids bullying people for being different). Saturn is also my other favorite because of reasons I said above and she looks better in white to me than the other scouts. The problem you have with Mercury in that boss battle is that you need to put her in the FRONT front row for her scenario, because the game exaggerates front/back row spots. Also characters with incapacitating effects drop like a truck, can be one-shotted pretty easily. There is supposed to be a 180 puzzle piece thing you get from chests and enemies drops, but enemies stopped dropping it after a time, meaning you can't complete the puzzle.

(Cracks knuckles)

When I tried to play it, I also was using the original translation, and it bugged me. Just saying, I hate when the translator is overly fannish or weeby, and thus they think its best to just leave terms in Japanese rather than translate them. Mamoru calling her "odango" head rather than either of the two acceptable English translations (Meatball head or Dumpling head) is an example of this, though I was more bothered by things like "Ginzuishou" or "shittenou no hako." You know how some people don't like Star Trek because they hate having to hear tons of nonsense technobabble? Yeah, this gives me that effect. I also recall some aspects of the story feeling fanfic-ish. Now, I came in a little better informed than you because I had seen a fansub of the anime, so I knew what they were talking about when they called some demons "youma" [what Queen Beryl's monsters were called] and others "daimons" [Professor Tomoe's monsters]. But.... thing that gets me is, Sailor Moon seeing some monster and instinctively knowing "that's a youma!" is kinda... weird. Like, from an outside perspective, a monster is a monster. It's like someone seeing two rabbits and instinctively knowing one of them is a hare. Sailor Moon itself, for me, is one of those oddities in a couple of ways. First, I actually do think the DIC dub is better than the original Japanese in a bunch of ways (most notably in Serena/Usagi being given more snark, and I prefer the DIC music a lot of times). But at the same time, its a show that is hard to go back to. Back in the day, watching one episode a day was fun and doable. But today the culture is around binge-watches and streaming and Sailor Moon can actually be annoying to watch if you're binging... ... At least, it can be until you get to a season midpoint or story arc bit, at which point it suddenly becomes really effing good. These days I would instead read the manga, though that tells a vastly different story from the anime.

Ugh. The worst part about anime based games past and present, is they are not designed to be great games to get you into the anime but just to make a buck off those into the anime. Like the story comment, that's silly that you need info from the TV show. Batman Arkham and Spiderman for ps4 are prime examples how to take a media and make it into a video game where fans and non fans can fall in love

Is this multiplayer?
