I need an RPG........

That's the most in-jokey thing I've EVER seen, and it must have taken so much effort.

X-Box as Umaro IS awesome. Who's the virtua boy supposed to be? Besides someone who gets his ass kicked all the time.

I can't remember, watched the video before lunch. But I think it was Gau. Gau was always a glutton for punishment.

 

And yeah, it looks like they put a lot of work into it. Pretty amazing stuff. And it reminds me of just how epic that VI ending really was.

There already have been a couple threads about that. It's still funny.

 

Anyone else mess with RPG Maker? Or play the sequel?

One of my friends spent like 100 hours making a RPG in that only to have his memory card get deleted before he could finish it.

I did but the learning curve was insane on that thing. It took me something like 5 hours to figure out to build a completely functioning town. I'm sure game balance is even a bigger curve.

I've really been wanting to play Final Fantasy III/VI for the longest time. I still have 3 or 4 unfinished or unopened RPGs, but I may just start the game on an emulator soon. I've never played much of the FF series since I haven't been into RPGs too long, I don't have a PS2, and my SNES needs replaced.

 

Would it be worth it playing the game on an emulator, or should I wait and get Final Fantasy Chronicles with FFVI and Chrono Trigger? Or maybe even the cart?

Definitely emulator. You don't want to play CT with loading time.

Yeah, I had big plans to make a "Wrestling RPG", where each town would be a diff. wrestling company, and the monsters would be different wrestlers. But after fooling w/ the game for a while, I just couldn't stick w/ it because of the curve.

Also to bring this back up even though I think you guys have given me a comprehensive list is that my favorite RPG's ever are Legend of Legaia and Legaia 2.

[Star Ocean 3 0]

[Damaramu 0]

Are you saying that's in the same style and story style as Legaia?

[Lightning Flik 0]

No. But its an RPG that you need to play that lives up to allowing you to go nearly anywhere you want to go (within reason of hoping your ass doesn't get kicked), yet still have the linear plotline.

Damn, I need to get a job. So many RPGs that I never got to play. And yet I wasted hours of my life playing crap like FF: Mystic Quest and Secret of Evermore. Sigh.

While Secret of Evermore would most likely fall short of even my top 200 list, calling it crap is a bit much. If anything, I'd say it's a step or two above being called painfully average.

[Special K 0]

I remember Evermore being OK for a while, but eventually becoming a horrible bore.

I played through Beyond the Beyond though, so I can play anything. (there was a total RPG drought after CT and SMRPG, so sue me.)

You don't need a job to play old RPGs. Just get an emulator and find ROMs. Play some Seiken Densetsu 3 and make up for the lameness of Evermore.

And fuck Square USA in the ear for giving us Evermore instead of SD3.

 

Incidentally, I was surprised to learn that in the union of Square and Enix, Square's the bitch. Apparently a lot of the ideas from the old Square people are getting nixed.

 

Skies of Arcadia is pretty good.

[Lightning Flik 0]

Hey Andrew. Most of the guys getting nixed by SquareEnix are getting picked up by MistWalker.

 

Just a little ironic... If you think about it. MistWalker is basically becoming SquareSoft reborn.

 

Ya wanna know something, if MistWalker puts out a helluvalot of good RPGs, I'll start beleiving in a conspiracy theory that SquareSoft CEOs just wanted to cashcow and kept the talented people from making new games and stuffy.

Wish I could. But I never found any emulator other than MAME that worked on my poor ancient virus-ridden Mac.

If you can run MAME, I would think there'd be no problem running an SNES emulator.

Try the 2nd one.

Thank god for emulators.

Awesomeness, thanks. Now then, where to go for a good list of ROMs? The old OAO Emulator thread has been unpinned and inactive, and most of the links are probably broken anyway, and I've always sucked at finding decent ROMs with a search engine.

 

Blargh, I'm helpless. WHILE YOU'RE AT IT PLEEZ CHANGE MY DIAPER K THANX.

[Lightning Flik 0]

SNES Roms:

www.emuasylum.com

 

That's the best site I find.

 

www.romreactor.net

Isn't bad either.

[Jingus 0]

Thanks for the help. I visited emuasylum, and after waiting nearly half an hour for the various pages to load, I was confronted by a list of like 50 different versions of every Final Fantasy game... with no documentation to tell you what the differences are. Yikes. I'll go back and wade through it again when I have more time.

[Lightning Flik 0]

Go with whichever has the most downloads. That's nearly 95% of the time the correct version you want to get.

[chaosrage 0]

When I want a rom, I don't even bother hunting through websites anymore. I just type it in Kazaa or Ares or Shareza.

 

What are you looking for? If you can't find it, I probably have it and can send it to you.

That's what I figured, but it would be fun to play some of the hacked new versions too. Too bad there's nothing that tells me which ones will provide hours of entertainment and which ones will reduce my computer to a smoking pile of plastic.

Thanks for the offer, but my aforementioned ancient virus-ridden Mac is tempermental at best in terms of downloading stuff correctly, and I've never gotten file sharing programs to work right on it.
