... but encrypted. Needs help for unpacking it.

This is from the MW Anniversary Collection. Can confirm it's a new Japanese version of the game with quite a few interesting differences - it was never dumped until now.

They didn't release the original Master System /SG-3000 version in Japan since SoJ fully switched to Game Gear earlier than the West. That means Japan weirdly got a game called Monster World III before they ever heard of Monster World II.
I wonder if the supposed JP proto shows anything like picrel? How close is it to the Japanese versions of the ports/remakes?

Couldn't you just set your region to JP with the international edition to access this?
Or is this a much different proto with actual Japanese script? (missing from the international ver IIRC)
Also how much differences we're talking? Any list?

>seamless, huge-feeling linear game
I played R&C and J&D recently, so I feel confident in saying the average level in the former is both larger and more detailed than the latter. Look at Metropolis, it's a big lively city, nothing in J&D comes close. They're both seamless outside of the portals/ship cutscenes between levels.

I'm pretty sure Jak 2 gets criticized all the fucking time for its open world. It always felt bizarre to me that the first game felt more varied and open than its sequel.

J&D doesn't have many of those scenes, though. There's the ship and also the mountain lift but otherwise you just walk or drive through the whole world.

Also, if a game is really expensive on Ebay, it generally means it's already being "preserved" by other people that fight over who gets to "preserve" which copy.

is this game worth getting into even if the combat is wonky and there's no voice acting or waypoints?
I feel like I'm gonna have to take notes down like I did with the Myst series but since there's so much to do so much to see I will get too confused with this open world game

Yeah I don't know these games and have only ever played Daggerfall (which I didn't like) so I have little stake in this thread but that's the thing that jumped out to me about OP's quandary: OP wants to spend more time waiting for British people to finish talking and less time reading and/or casting spells or whatever it is you do in this game

There's a lot of text that you have to read. I don't mind the reading but I understand that it can get tiresome for some, because there's a few parts where you have to read paragraphs upon paragraphs of text.

What is /vr/'s opinion on randomizers?
I like the idea of playing the same game in a different order, having a dungeon with a different boss, having to hunt for other progress items, or having to trek through another game in order to get an item to progress further into a game.

Bombs worked pretty well, but I only had 10 in this seed so I still had to spin slash them down. Plus I had to get spins on Vitrius himself.

It's amazing how many magic items the seed gave, all three medallions and both rods, the lamp, but nothing to actually fight bosses with. At least when I saw where Speed Booster was the seed got blown open, getting to dark world opens up so much.

I get the appeal, but I haven’t replayed a single game enough to warrant a randomized playthrough. I usually tend to wait for years after beating a game to replay it.

Lower Norfair kicked my ass, last night. Then again I was being reckless. By the time I reached the Kung-fu space pirates, I had 40 energy remaining. Decided to call it a night and played a LttP randomizer, which was more relaxing.
