Flemboflem Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Visually stunning, not sure I like the combat system was a bit button bashing! Feel I will die a lot. Still getting it though and worst case I put the game mode on easy so I can at least enjoy the story and not have to get too annoyed with the combat system hopefully! Had to do that with Jedi Fallen order as I just couldn't get used to the fighting system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Not sure the combat is great. beating the guard dogs was a bit of a slog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naegoodinthedark Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Thought I’d give this a go so downloaded it. Looks beautiful it has to be said, but just didn’t enthuse need at all. Got by the scorpion robot thing without really knowing what I was doing. Nice for a demo but can’t see me buying it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 The fact that it's not turn based means I won't be buying it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I am so fucking stoked for this. Cannae wait for midnight tomorrow. Wish I hadn't cancelled my physical copy, I might have had it already! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostin' Kev Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Playing this on an emulator on my phone, never been keen on these types of games. Closest I got was Chrono Trigger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a physical copy pre-ordered, but then when Squeenix started saying that because of the Corona situation they couldn't guarantee delivery on the 10th, I cancelled it and went digital. Then it turns out loads of folk who'd ordered the physical one were getting it early. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of late-era sprite-based 2D games have aged far, far better than early 3D polygon-based games. Chrono Trigger is probably my second-favourite game of all time. It's an exceptional game and has aged far better than FF7. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw there's a PS1 version of Secret of Mana. I've never played the SNES original but it's supposed to be good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never played the SNES original but it's supposed to be good. I hadn't heard of a PS1 version of SoM but if there is it'll be an emulation of the SNES version so you're as well just emulating the SNES version. It came out for PS4 last year but wasn't particularly good. Final Fantasy 6 and Chrono Trigger are the pinnacle of 16-bit era RPGs. Going into the PSX era I'd really recommend FF8 and FF9 which have both had releases for modern consoles. Chrono Cross is a 'kind-of' sequel to Chrono Trigger (not a true sequel though) and is very love it / hate it (I love it). FFX is the best of the rest. Graphics haven't aged well (it was an early PS2 game so suffers from the same problems that FF7 did) but its story is fantastic. Maybe even better than FF7's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Legend of Mana is the PS1 version. I'll give FF7 another try keep seeing it mentioned as a good game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I played a couple of hours last night. For context, I've just jumped off the train on the way to the Sector 7 slums - so about half an hour into original, if you know what I mean. It's brilliant. I'm getting more used to the combat. Tellingly though, there isn't anything I would class as 'filler'. It doesn't feel padded out at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
