Excuse my little derail, but since this thread is half about translations, I guess it's more appropriate to post it here than to make a new thread which wouldn't interest many people. Anyway, I just started a new round of Final Fantasy VII with the new German re-translation and I must say it's really good. Much better than the train wreck which was the old German translation and also better than the English translation. I recommend it to any Germanfag who likes FF7.

I played the hell out of the Game Gear TaleSpin as a kid. The Genesis version is pretty much the same game, so I choose that one.

I think this game is confusing. I mean not just the layout of how all the levels interconnect, but the plot itself. I was doing pretty good until I got to a part with this crazy dude who flying around at mach-3 on his magic carpet hovercraft or whatever. Somehow I beat him and got this weird alien device. Or maybe I already had that and used it to beat him. Can't remember that anymore, it's been a while. Anyway, I just didn't get wtf he was doing in the game or what his deal was. So I kind of dropped the game at that point and started playing Duke3D (that one's a lot less confusing). Maybe I just missed something in the background story or some dialog.

IN my opinion this is the best Final Fantasy game ever made. The reasons excluding nostalgia the characters, Espers, story is pretty cool, lots of characters (that you actually have to use, and the game is actually pretty challenging at later stages granted you aren't exploiting the bugs. Who else loves this game? If you don't, why?

Well since this thread is here I may as well ask. Will FF VI be difficult to play if I don't have a shitload of Kanji memorized? I just finished the Famicom version of FF I, it wasn't too hard. Sure I had to look several things up almost every time I spoke to someone but it wasn't too bad, I finished it in under a week. I think I'll try FF IV next (I'm hoping I can handle all of that text) and after that I'll move onto FF VI. Not topic related but what about Chrono Trigger? Does it use a lot of Kanji or a small-medium amount? The only reason I'm concerned is because it'll take a lot longer to look up words if I don't even know how to read them.

>>1607729 When someone (or a monster) has been asleep for a certain amount of time, the tapir will appear, and wake them up. It normally takes a little over 30 seconds, but Slow and Haste also affect it.
In Japanese lore, tapirs are said to eat dreams, which is why they cure Sleep.

I was fighting Atma Weapon and I only had Celes left, at low health at that. I thought I was totally boned, but then she jumped forward and swung her sword around wildly around, and lo and behold, it killed him.

So with the ever growing despair in my heart, because the Ez Flash IV is growing so hard to find. Would this be a decent buy?

I was able to Buy EZ Flash IV from a US seller zercath on
Ecrater.com , As of 2014 Ebay does no longer allow the sale of EZ Flash IV carts or any Flashcarts, You could check that seller out and see if he still has any for sale,I received mine from this seller in a few days for a great price, good luck

This thread is for music made with Yamaha's wonderful FM soundchips. Preferably not Genesis music because we already know it kicks ass. No need to repost the same old SoR2/Thunder Force 4/Gunstar Heroes/etc. links again. Let's hear something more obscure.

FM synth drew a line between Genesis and SNES music styles, clearly guiding the musical direction of Genesis soundtracks. In the bigger picture, I wonder how much of an impact that had on determining whether people were primarily Sega or Nintendo fans. Maybe that distinction still holds to this day...

>>1483337 Are you leaving Arcade and OPL3 PC music out of the picture?, that's FM too
Anonymous
>>1483337 Sample based music lets tasteless people pretend to be sophisticated. You can do "epic" orchestral music that sounds impressive if you've never listened to a Beethoven concerto all the way through. It appeals to the kind of person who plays shit indie games because it's "art".
Note that the two most overrated arcade games (Radiant Silvergun, Ikaruga) use this style of music. I don't think that's a coincidence.

>>1575593 The game itself is not perfect but the battle system is the most faithful and accurate rendition of DnD battle. I would play a ton of games with that system. I'm also pretty sure ToEE is not /vr/.
>>1578131 Are you being serious? If you are, you can assign conditions in options for when you want the game pause for you, making it closer to full turn-based system.

>>1580063 I never liked the Avernum remakes. They just take what's fun about Exile and make it mostly tedious with that obnoxious isometric perspective navigation and the dumber spell system that doesn't even have a repeat cast shortcut.
Would fully recommend all three Exile games though; the first two are just a bit harder to get into it.

I know Yoshi's Island is quite popular here on /vr/, but I just can't get into this game. I originally played it back in 1995, and even though I played all the way through it, I've never thought it was a great game. The level design lacks creativity and often seems bland and random. Most levels go on for too long. The levels in Super Mario World were well-designed and just the right length, but the stages in Yoshi's Island annoy me. The graphics, while very creative with its crayon style, either look great or make you nauseous after looking at them for so long. I happen to be the latter. The music is pretty great, though. I'll give the game that. Yoshi's Island is notorious for its boss battles, and while they are cute, once again, I feel they lack balanced design. (There's a few boss battles I thought were clever, but they're not enough to redeem the game for me.) The puzzles in the game can also be tedious and annoying. Overall, I think it's a fairly decent game, but just doesn't live up to Super Mario World or many of the other classic games on the Super NES. Your thoughts?

>>1568640 >There was tons of alternate routes to take in Super Mario World. And they lasted longer than 60 seconds. Only if you didn't have a cape, or a blue Yoshi. Or they were underwater/forced scrolling levels.
Basically same as in Yoshis Island.

Raphael the Raven's Castle - This stage alone makes made me fell in love with the game. I think it really showcases the creativity of the level design. You're navigating what is essentially an upside-down floating castle. The nighttime setting paired with the all the triangular, gaping walls creates a really interesting atmosphere.

Yoshi's Island and Banjo-Kazooie are two games I just can't get into. But because of all the praise they get I figure I just must be looking at them from the wrong angle and so I've given them both a couple extra tries.
