I've played some of my favorite experiences ever because of this channel: Arc Rise Fantasia, Radiant Historia, and Grandia... love this place! I'd highly recommend davidinc as well - just as good quality but for me recommends games I'm more likely to play (though he loves turn based games like I do so I AM biased)
@TheAleatoriorandom2 жыл бұрын
Great work! God wars, Fairy Fencer and Langrisser I-II are also on PC by the way. Always nice to have an option outside of consoles. I found Langrisser to be solid and the different paths have some cool twist and differences, but it is super slow to play because the game insist on individually graying out every unit (of which there are many) even if they do nothing in that turn. Bad in QoL, but if you can tolerate that and like SRPGs you have a solid game with plenty of worthwhile content.

Langrisser Love, yay! 👍♥️ And FFF too, so happy to see it. I have the PS4 ADF edition and it comes with the most amazing wall scroll, with an exclusive Yoshitaka Amano design. And thank you for mentioning Gen of Chaos: Pandora's Reflection, I hadn't been aware of that one. Luckily I found it digitally on the UK Vita store! 😀

Destiny Connect is another good game in my opinion, and deserves a little more love. It is kind of a love letter to the jrpg games of old, turn-based and simple. More evocative of those gems on SNES and PS1 than what Square Enix pretended with I am sestuna and those games developed by Tokyo RPG Factory.

Soul nomad IS awesome. However I think that Phantom Brave should have been coupled with Makai Kingdom as they are the most similar RPGs. Makai Kingdom is literally the funniest shit in the Netherverse. Without question the banter between Overlords who are all on their own power trips with their own agendas is great. I thought that Disgaea 5 would offer more of that but was disappointed. Gig is the standout character in Soul Nomad. He's crass but funny. Still I feel like he's gonna cause some people to bitch in today's climate.

My first thought at your headline was, "well that sounds expensive." After watching, man that could have been a lot worse - a lot of NIS games have become unaffordable to most. Games like Langrisser are already 100 bucks plus, though. In fact, I'm rapidly coming to the realization that the PS4 is becoming the most financially draining system of all time for JRPG collectors. Sure, individual titles don't reach the height of SNES, Saturn or PS1 madness, but there are SO many of them, way more than all of those systems combined, and there's a lot of titles that had small production runs and already cost more than a hundred bucks for the NA version. I shiver to think what prices will be like in another year or two.

Wait... wait, wait, wait, wait... Soul Nomad and the World Eaters is getting a remake for the Switch? I always regretted missing that game back on the PS2, ever since I met Gig as a guest-character in one of the early Disgaeas! Definitely need to pick this up. And a Switch to play it on, I suppose, but that was inevitable as soon as Disgaea 6 was announced as Switch-exclusive anyway...

I normally never trust NISA, but I do love the Fan Service games published by them that they didn't censor. But as soon as they started censoring games from Compile Heart and Idea Factory, I started to refuse to buy NISA JRPGs. Though when they did publish a PS Vita games I only decided to buy a few of them before they became too hard to find.

Spectral Souls has ATROCIOUS loading times between every single thing you do. I purchased a PSP model 3000 just to speed things up. I should note that it runs better ripped directly to your hacked PSP though. And when I say, everything you do, I mean it. Every dialogue change, every command issued, every command enacted, it all has a loading period between it. It is a good game, it's basically what a Disgaea game would look like if it was serious instead of comedic. Over the top anime attacks, but cruel difficulty that will crush your spirit if you're not good at TATCTICS. You're not going to grind your way through this one.
