ITT Games with hacks that improve the original. Anonymous 12/10/17 (Sun) 12:53:14 55393a No.13956239

I'll open up with one since this surprised me.

Yugioh Forbidden memories 2. On the surface level it's just the original game with characters changed (Bakura is the main bad instead of heishin as an example) and the story plays out the exact same

But the real good changes come in the actual game.

>Fusions reworked, the game isn't THTD turbo until you get Meteor B Dragon there are now many good options (spellcasters fuse with warriors to become Eradicator Warlock, Insects fuse with fields to become Doom Dozer) So more types in the game bar dragon have access to strong monsters and the more fusion options make early game options stronger without having a thunder and dragon in the deck which you'd almost need in the original

>Additionally there are a lot more specialised fusions (THTD now needs 2 thunder dragons, can fuse each of the Gigo monsters with Yami to evolve them into the next Gigo, Dark magician and time wizard now make Dark Sage, Dark Paladin with Dark magician and Buster Blader)

>Overall more monsters and with better fusion you want them more

>More equip options then what ever your best monster can use + bright castle + Megamorph

>Monsters now can have effects, nothing fancy mostly archtype + 300 - 600 or in Relinquished's case it can now equip everything

>All rituals bar 1 can or have now be replaced with polymerization which acts as every ritual in the game to try and make them seem viable

>Changed music which is fresh

If you played the original FM it's that but with everything made much better and appealing, simply being able to play with multiple variants of deck other then just dragons + thunders is such a great piece of work.

You mean cheats as well? In that case, any game which requires you to grind in order to win (e.g. EO, Disgaea, most other dungeon crawlers, BD, etc.)

Do retranslations count? Breath of Fire II is probably the single most extreme example of a game with a good story being utterly ruined by horrific

(((localization)))

and the retranslation patch fixes both that and the annoying bugs.

Earthbound with improved modern controls.

Pokemon Red gbc conversion.

I wish there were more gbc conversions and recolors in general, but the only one I like so far is the Pokemon one. I can understand that it's hard to pick colors when limited by both the hardware and any tricks the developers used that make coloring shit harder, such as reusing tiles. Still, it's pretty cool compared to playing (normally shitty) remakes and total conversion hacks, so I hope we see more in the future.

It just makes it so you can press one button to talk or examine things, since most shit in the game essentially gives you "You're supposed to talk/look :^)" (like "Who are you talking to?") when choosing the wrong option and my autism makes me want to choose both options just to see what happens. Not necessary at all, just speeds it up a bit.

There's so many for FFVI (SNES) that I don't even know where to start. I think there's one big patch that rolls up the dozens and dozens of bugfixes into one, can't remember though because it's been so long. There's also one that gives you permanent Sprint Shoes, which basically means you hold B to run like any other RPG. FFVI is such a broken mess that it's definitely the best example of this kind of thing. IIRC one stat didn't even function at all in the original release.

Seems to always be the case with translations. It's not hard to guess why, just fascinating to see.

Out of curiosity, even if both are compatible, which would you apply to the rom first? Or does that even matter?

>>13967400

Haven't heard of anything like that for it, no.

>>13967551

In that case, from what I remember, it was Capcom's sheer laziness with the GBA port that prompted it. In an era where some other companies like Square had begun to take the opportunity with rereleases/remakes of classic JRPGs to revise the English scripts, Capcom just lazily ported the existing, infamously bad English script from the SNES original to the GBA port. Cue three years (at minimum) of autism from one fan to do what Capcom wouldn't, giving English audiences an actually good script after so many years, and release it freely.

But no, it's not always the case with fan-translations. Most are indeed more labor of love for the games in question, as opposed to doing it for profit, but some fan-translators are still faggots. Brigandine: Grand Edition suffered badly, for example, and there's been worries over how the translation efforts for the games Iwakura's handling (including Fate/Extra CCC) will turn out.

Castlevania Aria of Sorrow has a lot of weird translation issues that were fixed in a retranslation patch. It's mostly just enemy and weapon names, but there are also a few item and ability descriptions that either don't make much sense or are completely wrong, without the patch.
