/v/ - Video Games

Ok I know you've asked this before, Ritsu.

Desert levels still suck ass tbh.

Morning everyone, Ritsu here

I have to go to the doctor today, not looking forward to that.

Played Y's 5 yesterday and it was pure garbage. Then I played some megaman legends. Was comfy as always. Found out one of the illustrators/character designers for MML did lewd drawings of some of the girls in it. Pretty nice.

>Whats your favorite game set in a desert? Or at least with a good desert level?

Red Dead Redemption. Or GTA SA. Or MHW currently. I like desert levels for some reason.

>>14699766

>Ok I know you've asked this before

I don't remember the game set in a desert though.

Morning. What the fuck did I miss about this Kanye shit?

>>14699760

Diablo ii

>>14699761

How goes anon

>>14699766

I like desert levels. Usually have some kind of ancient tomb or something to explore. Comfy oasis town. Its nice.

How goes fam

>>14699770

For whatever reason him supporting Trump is back in the news. He did back in 2016 too.

Hows your day going anon

>>14699760

>Whats your favorite game set in a desert? Or at least with a good desert level?

Whole series, though varying degrees of desert, ranging from the beginnings of desertification, to planet-wide dirtball. Also special mention to the Orre Pokemon games for being inspired specifically by parts of my state.

>>14699779

What state?

How goes anon

>>14699780

I thought braising was something you did to meat

>>14699783

Snow levels suck. Mostly because they usually have slidy shit in them.

Hows your day going anon

Mornin lads, how goes?

I'm going to the post-office tomorrow to get my passport made and photo taken. Fuggers only take cash though. Oh well.

I've just been playing more Ys II. Went through the Moat of Burnedbless, killed that faggot Gelaldy, and made it to Ramia village and got into an milf's bed. I'm in the final leg of the game now though. After I beat this I'll probably go back to Trails in the Sky SC.

>>14699760

i dunno

>>14699768

> playing ys v

> playing the ys game that's considered to be the absolute worst one in the series

> the only one that doesn't have a modern remake

why would you do this to yourself

plays Ys I & II Chronicles+ you fag

>>14699790

>Told you Ys V almost killed the series.

huh?

>>14699794

Finally killed bazel out of frustration for Jyura not giving me good sacs.

>>14699777

>How goes fam

Alright, I guess. I woke up at 4:30pm and bought some snacks. Took the dog for a walk after I got back, and then I spent the rest of the day playing video games and jacking off, as always. I also reminded myself why I can't stand Blazblue, but I like some of the girls.

>>14699790

>>14699794

What happened with Ys V? I've never played any of the Ys games.

>>14699790

>not giving me a (You)

And forgot you mentioned that about Y5. Just picked one at random to try.

Also I don't browse /v/

>>14699792

Die how

>>14699794

>Fuggers only take cash though. Oh well.

Get used to that, cause thats how nippon is too.

And nope Y's games got their one chance with me. Never trying another

>>14699777

>>14699778

>>14699788

Slow news week then I suppose.

Also can't wait for work to be done. Might paint up some space nips afterwards as I've settled on a color scheme

>>14699800

What snacks? I need something new here besides fucking chips mostly

>>14699802

What was the best one you saw today?

>>14699808

Eat even more cheese bread to develop a resistance

>>14699818

Twizzlers, Goldfish, a bunch of chips and off brand orange soda. All the good shit, and it's all mine.

>>14699811

I've probably gotta get a job sometime in the next month or two. Not looking forward to it

>>14699813

You won't

>>14699822

I fucking love goldfish. And cheez its and cheez nips.

>off brand orange soda

Is there such a thing as an on brand orange soda?

>>14699770

don't forget to harness your CHOROGON energy daily

>>14699799

nice. Isn't Bazel fun?

>>14699800

> what happened with Ys V

It was literally the most hated game in the series because of the shit they changed from the previous games. The original release of Ys III wasn't all that well-liked either.

In Ys V, they use a more active combat, instead of the bump combat, where you have to press a button to swing your sword. For whatever reason, they also thought it a good idea to redo the magic system and require you to hold down a button to cast magic as well instead of just pressing it. Also your physical and magic skills leveled up separately for whatever stupid reason, whereas in literally every other Ys game you level up everything at once when you get a level up. Ys V did get a PS2 remake, but it also sucked horrible, horrible ass

>>14699805

> and nope Ys games got their one chance with me

> he says after playing the worst game in the series

quit being a faggot

>>14699816

sheesh, getting that final spell sounds like a pain in the ass. I played PoR up to some random point where my save file corrupted because of some gay-ass bug.

>>14699831

I've been right every time I said that so far

>>14699833

Why not just make your own pizza without any of the things that kill you

>>14699835

You know how that movie ends in 2 minutes? If she owned a gun like any real american would.

>>14699838

TOO LATE

>>14699826

Beats me. Most of the soda I buy is either Pepsi or some local stuff. it's cheap, but it's pretty good.

>>14699847

Why not drink water?

Morning, bros.

I don't do 4AM threads often because my job for the past 6 years has caused me to be in bed by 9:30 like some old fuck.

I quit Friday, and I've been gradually unfucking my sleeping schedule to actually enjoy the night-time again.

I didn't bother to line anything up, I quit outright because the despair was crushing me. Only 4 hours a night of free time.

Now I'm free. I don't really know what I'm going to do next, but I have no worries about it, I feel like everything's going to be okay.

Now I have all of this time for games, and I haven't really delved into a video game since 2012. I feel overwhelmed at my options. It's a good feeling to have, though.

I'm no longer losing control. I'm finally gaining it back.

>>14699838

Speaking if chorogons I've made an interesting discovery via /animu/

Apparently the author also draws a lot of porn. Lucoa/Shouta and Ilulu seem to be his fetish fuel in particular.

As much as I love his work, it's heartbreaking how incomparable our fetishes are.

>>14699826

But think of all the soaplands that awaits you afterwards

>>14699847

Theres only 1 orange soda with caffeine in it. Luckily its the only one my folks buy. Think its crush could be wrong though.

>>14699856

Is anything ever fun

>>14699858

Thats the only reason I'm not splattering my brains on the wall tbh

>>14699854

>I'm gonna do it and get a qt gf

sure

>>14699857

So when do you plan to get another job?

>>14699852

Because I only have tap water, and tap water tastes like shit. We used to have a water cooler, but that broke. Someone decided the best solution was to take an empty milk jug, put tap water in that, label it "H20" and put it in the fridge.

>>14699857

Welcome to the NEET life fam. How long can you stay in it?

What was the final straw that made you quit?

>>14699805

>not giving me a (You)

>>14699838

Yeah, the NA version's sadly bugridden. Never had save corruption on my end, but plenty of shitty instances of subweapons freezing the game. And I still had one final subweapon to get for Jonathan, namely Defensive Stance from the Final Guard enemies. Bitch and a half to whittle down, but Axe Bomber apparently makes short work of them. Now I'm not sure if I want to grind all his subweapons to max or not; got most of them there thanks to the Master's Ring (worth the 200,000 it costs; Salamander, not so much), but Rocket Slash and the Richochet Rock are gonna suck to try to cap. Also I have no idea what all carries over to NG+ if I want to do it, so all this delaying beating the game might be for naught.

Going to go out and look for cheap vidya/animu tomorrow evening since I've got to make a run to the store anyhow. Hoping I might find something decent, though at this point there's not much they have that's within my desired price range that I don't already have or have no interest in.

>quit being a faggot

This is shitsu we're talking about, where he'd rather play the worst game, rightly hate it, and dismiss the rest of the series to safeguard his own shit taste.

>>14699845

Because I can't eat tomato and pizza without sauce isn't pizza.

>>14699841

but you killed him.

Did you get two talons off him by any chance? You can craft the Power and Armor talons and keep them in your bag for bonus attack and defense. These stack with the Power and Armor charms as well.

>>14699845

ur family tree LGBT

>>14699857

sucks you were pushed to that point, but enjoy your newfound freedom friend.

> Now I have all of this time for games, and I haven't really delved into a video game since 2012. I feel overwhelmed at my options. It's a good feeling to have, though.

what're you gonna start with? you should start with Ys I & II Chronicles

> I'm no longer losing control. I'm finally gaining it back.

funny you're getting control after quitting your job

>>14699858

>As much as I love his work, it's heartbreaking how incomparable our fetishes are.

a shame. I never knew the author did porn though.

>>14699873

You could eat those BBQ chicken pizzas that use BBQ sauce instead. Those are alright. Or those buffalo sauce ones.

>>14699874

Yeah well you still haven't beat MML so.

I probably got further in a couple hours while 100%ing the game than you did in weeks of playing

>>14699874

Yes, I killed him after he killed me once and I wasted a shitload of my items on him.

>>14699867

Buy a water filter. I prefer Yukari by herself being lewd.

>>14699872

>I almost got laid that one time with the half black girl.

How do you know?

>>14699882

>>14699875

Alright, I'll see if I can find one sometime. How much does a good one cost normally?

>>14699888

If I had a super restricted diet like yours I'd be testing out new shit to eat constantly. Can you have curry?

>>14699890

**I'm a neet dude, just giving you advice.

>>14699896

alright.

>>14699893

ok then. Thanks for the advice.

>>14699881

>I probably got further in a couple hours while 100%ing the game than you did in weeks of playing

yeah probably

>>14699882

> wasted a shitload of my items on him

F

>>14699903

One neat thing in this game is that the dialogue for NPCS changes constantly as you play the game. And I'm making a real effort to talk to everyone after every single thing I do. Finding new stuff I've never seen before. Like a teen girl complaining to the cops about panty thievery

>>14699904

Do you just eat some kind of nutrient slurry?

>>14699910

> Dude is at least on par with Rathalos and Diablos.

I'd rather fight Bazel than Diablos tbh

>>14699914

> One neat thing in this game is that the dialogue for NPCS changes constantly as you play the game

oh that's a thing in MML?

>>14699871

Hey, thanks.

I've been in the NEET life before, back when the economy shit the bed and the recession happened. Three years of NEETdom from severance, unemployment and stimulus. Best three years of my llife.

I can't stay in it too long, sadly. I'm covered for the rest of this month, and then halfway into next.

The final straw was cumulative. The job was shit, I was massively underpaid for what I do. The final straw, funny enough, were performance reviews at the beginning of the month. I got my raise, but that raise was well below industry standard. My boss finally told me that there's no future for me at the company, and I'm wasting my time. He encouraged me to find work elsewhere, and that he'd look the other way while I did my job search. I said thanks, no thanks, and I quit. Depression and despair were sinking in, my performance was starting to dip. I knew the longer I stayed, the more I'd be burning my good will, so I quit while I was ahead.

>>14699865

I'm going to start searching next week. I plan to be working full-time again within the next few weeks.

>>14699874

Thanks. I'm enjoying my freedom while it lasts, as short-lived as it'll unfortunately be.

I'm probably going to start with Nier: Automata, actually. But Ys is definitely on the list as well.

Funny how we get jobs to get control, but there's a very clear tipping point when you lose control and it overwhelms you and your life.

>>14699877

There's a lot of stuff that has come out that intrigues me. I bought a lot of games during sales, and I haven't even played them. So in a way, I guess they were gifts from past-me to present-me.

>>14699918

Yeah basically after every single mission every NPC got something new to say. And move around the city too. Makes the world feel really alive compared to most open world games.

>>14699920

That sucks about your last job. Hopefully the next one is better.

>only 2 months of NEET life

Then what happens?

>>14699920

> Thanks. I'm enjoying my freedom while it lasts, as short-lived as it'll unfortunately be.

ah, you'll have to go job hunting again soon then?

> I'm probably going to start with Nier: Automata

can't go wrong there. You'll get a lot more mileage out of Automata if you played the first Nier though that's what I keep getting told anyway.

> But Ys is definitely on the list as well.

rad. Just avoid Ys V, and play the remakes like I & II Chronicles, Oath in Felghana, Memories of Celceta, etc.

>>14699925

there's nothing adorable about a vegan murder machine tbh

>>14699926

the Ys games, and a lot of Falcom games in general tbh, do this as well

>Looking up who voiced what in PoR.

>David Vincent as Wind

Not bad, but if there's a role he had that fucking made the character he was portraying, I'd still say it was Van. Perfect amount of audible disinterest and boredom for 90% of goings-on, and the occasional bout of autistic interest/raging murderboner that fit the protagonist perfectly.

>>14699920

I suppose that's one way to look at it. Also, depending on your interests, you might also check out what's gotten fan-translated since you stopped having time for games.

>>14699914

I mainly eat chicken, fish, rice, and toast, with some vegetables or fruit every so often.

Still haven't heard back about unemployment insurance. I'm hoping I get it, but then people started mentioned shit like I have to report to them once every two weeks, and I have to be actively looking for a job while under UI.

>>14699922

Good for you, anon.

>>14699932

> spoiler

why don't you go give it a pat then? I'm sure Diablos would love a good head rub

I know the difference, I just don't imagine Diablos eats much dairy or egg

>>14699930

Yeah but those games are shit. Tried them. Pure garbage.

>>14699931

Can you at least put honey or PB, or butter on the toast?

>>14699933

I'm sure if niggers can fake it, you can too

>>14699937

Cya next time anon

>>14699925

Thanks, man.

>>14699926

Then I go back to work. If it goes longer than two months, bills don't get paid. Then paradise will quickly devolve into another form of despair.

>>14699930

Unfortunately, yeah. I'm probably going to start tossing out resumés next week, with the intent to go through interviews/hiring and then the 2 week paycheck period, so I don't lapse too far behind.

I've never played the first Nier, though I've wanted to. I haven't owned a console since the PS2 days, so that's something I've unfortunately missed out on. I'm sure I'll be keeping you anons posted about the stuff I've begun playing, now that I can actually play things that I can immerse myself into.

>>14699931

>fan translations

The last fan translated game I played was Seiken Densetsu 3 when it came out. I wouldn't know where to look for fan translated games that haven't been released in the States. Any recommendations on what I should check out?

>>14699937

see you tomorrow.

>>14699941

Yeah, I probably can.

>>14699944

>can't even have PBJ

Can you have chocolate?

>>14699947

I'd be super stressed about getting a job in that time tbh

>>14699939

I guess. We don't know much about the ecology or reproduction of Diablos though. Most we get is that a Black Diablos is actually just a female diablos who's in heat, and is therefore eternally enraged.

>>14699941

you're overselling that fam. If you had left off the "Tried them. Pure garbage." it would've been more believable shitposting tbh

>>14699947

>so I don't lapse too far behind.

i suppose that's the best/more responsible thing to do. Well I hope you enjoy your "vacation" while you've got it.

>>14699962

As far as I know, those games are terrible based on the only experience I have with them.

>>14699964

You weren't always allergic to all this shit? When did that start

I'm reading an interview Brendan did about 2 months ago and it looks like even he was sexually assaulted. Hollywood needs to be destroyed lads

>>14699972

I don't think any of my lewds have had accurate breast sizes tbh.

>>14699967

yeah, she's so horny she's pissed off and will murder anyone/anything in sight

> spoiler

Right, and Diablos is a Brute Wyvern, not a mammal. So it's basically a reptile.

>>14699977

I probably watched the mummy 100 times as a kid. Sad to see him these days

>>14699978

to be fair that Mai is at least kinda accurate.

>>14699977

kill them all

>>14699982

I wanna see a baby diablos.

Anyhow, as that's a longass time period to try to think about, it might be best to take a trip to the fan-translation section of RHDN. Forum userbase and administration are cancer, but it works well as a catalog of what's done, and many times they'll directly host patches, unless the creator tells them not to.

>>14699977

He got his shitter fucked up? Did we meme too hard?

>>14699976

Apparently not, or at least not to the degree I've been. Had some blood work done for allergy testing a few years back and surprise surprise, most of what I liked to eat doesn't actually agree with me because I'm allergic to parts of it.

>>14699950

I post that pic a few times, but it's a pretty common reaction image. I've been here before, mostly lurking, but haven't really posted a whole lot.

>>14699959

I'm not letting myself get stressed, until there's a very clear reason for me to get stressed. I'm pretty confident in my ability to get hired again, but I'm not worrying too much about it just yet.

>>14699964

Recent or general, I'm fine for either. So long as they're good, fun, and enjoyable. I'm pretty open-minded about by vidya.

>Seiken Densetsu's fan-translation came out eighteen years ago

I just had a lapse of existential dread. Holy fuck. After turning 35 this weekend, I thought it'd happen then. Nope, apparently this shit is kicking in right fucking now!

Don't apologize or anything like that. The perspective keeps me in check.

>>14699874

Lucoa + shouta/Ilulu is a brief yet accurate summary of his fetishes

>>14699978

I'm not complaining as long as it doesn't get too crazy

>>14699956

Wow, you made yourself an outcast in a group of outcasts. Impressive.

>>14699997

Is Dragon Maid worth watching?

>>14699987

Is it just like poo allergy or do you swell up and could die?

>>14699993

You gotta do something big while NEET then. Do something crazy!

>>14699986

best you'll get is if you come across a Small Gold-Crown one.

>>14699997

i see.

In case anyone was wondering.

I'm still head of a top tier cult and still looking for more followers.

Recently, the cults finally ended their scermish with eachother and have finally reunited under the "Gospel of lord #####" They have tooken it upon themselves to send missionaries to other countries so, mostly india.

I'm getting fucking poos now.

>>14700000

as long as you watch the sub, yeah. It's a goofy fish-out-of-water kind of story as all these dumb dragons from another dimension start to crowd around Kobayashi like some sort of chorogon harem. It's cute and has some pretty funny parts.

don't interact with the fanbase or normalfags. THEY WILL ruin the show for you

>>14700021

Does you cult have scifi shit? Cults these days need them.

>>14700004

When do I get to Elder Dragons though?

>>14700025

>don't interact with the fanbase or normalfags. THEY WILL ruin the show for you

without spoilers, why's that?

>>14699993

Well, I'd guess it depends on what you're into. As far as JRPGs go, you might consider Mother 3 (which has become like the most popular fan-translation out there), Tales of Phantasia PS1 (Phanatsian Production's patch hacks in a technical ring to make the early game combat less of a slog), and if you've liked Ar Tonelico and hate NISA (as you should), AT2 got a full fan-retranslation because of how badly it got its shit fucked. Other genres, Ace Combat III got a fan-translation because the official release cut out the whole story and entire missions, and Castlevania-like Rusty is also in English. Really, there's just too much that has come out for a multitude of different systems over that many years. As stated, give RDHN a check; you can go by system and see what sounds good to you as it lists off names and genres.

>>14700003

Moves shit right through me, violently like lava.

>>14700021

> a top tier cult

i'm morbidly curious, do tell me more

>>14700026

at the end of high rank. You fight them all pretty much back-to-back-to-back.

>>14699987

>RHDN

What a lovely recommendation. I think that's just what I need right now. Thanks.

>>14700003

>Do something crazy!

Like what?

I've already done a few crazy things so far!

I

ordered 4 tacos at 1AM the other night

watched Adult Swim this evening without falling asleep from exhaustion

took a 4AM shower, and am now enjoying 5AM coffee

Might sound tame to a lot of people, but it's the taste of the little things I missed when I was a paid NEET.

>>14700010

No worries. I use a lot of general images, but this Kirby flag stays forever.

>>14700026

Not yet, unfortunetly.

I got no scientists but hopefully once i start outsourcing to other countries that might change.

>>14700032

>he doesn't know

All the cool kids on 4 am have already joined.

>>14700033

>paid NEET

What?

>>14700031

I'd still eat it then tbh

Get a really comfy cushion for your toilet and just eat all the food one day

>>14700028

>>14700039

because aside from the fans I've seen here, the fanbase is mostly casual normalfags, "ironic" weebs, and tumblrfags.

>>14700040

i've never been a cool kid tbh

>>14700031

I've played through Mother 3 and Der Langrisser, loved both. All of those other things though, I have not. I'm currently looking through RHDN right now in between posts, and holy moly the list has grown. Seriously, this recommendation has just put some shit in motion and I'm all the more thankful for it.

>>14700041

The last time I was a NEET was when the economy went bust, but I had 3 forms of income coming in. Severance pay, unemployment, and stimulus.

>>14700049

I'm a leader not a follower. Go kill yourself alone

>>14700059

How do some anime just end up in that normalfag trap like that.

>>14700062

Damn lucky. Never have taken gibs of any kind honestly even though I've been NEET most of the last 9 years

>>14700059

>spoiler

Nows your chance!

I'll write you up as a new member if you wish.

>>14700064

>I'm a leader not a follower

How selfish, you can't produce anything if you aren't willing to give a little.

>>14700070

>commie shit

Get out

>>14700033

>>14700062

Again, forum community and management there is shit. But, as a database of what's done, it's workable on that end. Do be aware that there is some festering cancer amongst the fan-translation and romhack communities though.

Some other groups to look into, as far as in-progress shit, who have their own sites:

>Dynamic Designs

>Translation Corporation

>Aerie.Wingdreams (though Kingcom's been silent there for a while)

>DQ Translations Site dead aside from download page (Dragon Quest focused)

>GeoFront (Legend of Heroes group)

>46 OkuMen

>A0t Group dead because Tales apparently doesn't need fan-translations anymore

Also a number general one off sites and GBAtemp threads like .hack//LINK and Swordcraft Story 3's.

Also, special mention since the official translation was bad on the SNES and just as bad on the GBA, Breath of Fire II has a full fan retranslation if that's of interest.

>>14700071

>implying

Please refer to the following image

>>14700064

I wish I knew, I hate that it happens like that though. I really enjoyed MaidDragon too. It wound up being more than just flavor of the month shit that gets churned out every season. It has charm and lasting appeal. I'm still angry the fucking normalfags latched to it like they did.

>>14700066

sure i guess, as long as whatever it is won't interfere with my travel plans.

For those who are actually interested, i think i'll be holding an event soonish.

It's still in the planning so don't go telling everyone about it and getting their hopes up.

>>14700080

Speaking of lasting appeal. Yuru Yuri is getting another OVA. Haven't been this excited about something in anime in forever.

I think I'm gonna head out. See you guys tomorrow.

>>14700093

> Yuru Yuri is getting another OVA

ANOTHER ONE?

How long as YY been going on now?

>>14700097

sleep tight amigo. catch you later

>>14700062

Phantasia PS1 is currently (and HAS been since like 2007 when A0t's patch released) the most technically advanced version of Phantasia in English, barring the shitty moneyhungry iPort, which I'm not even sure is available anymore. Unfortunately, that means it's still a bit unrefined even compared to the next game released in its series (Tales of Eternia), which made combat a lot faster paced. The latter of the game's PSP ports, Tales of Phantasia X, made the combat more refined towards Eternia's level which would have been great to have in English, but A0t shitcanned everything a couple months back.

>>14700079

Someone should make one with that general aussie shitposter having his throne pulled by roos or canadians or something.

>>14700093

At least a series you're fond of is getting something decent as an anniversary gift. Mine got a fucking mobile phone reboot.

>>14700102

Its a 10 year anni ova for the manga. And I think the anime started 7 or 8 years ago at this point.

Not many SoL shows like this get so much material. Its fucking nice

>>14700107

Mobile phone developers should all be hung tbh

>>14700110

damn, that's been going on for ages then.

>>14700112

ah I see

>>14700117

That could explain it then.

>>14700118

IT doesn't even feel all that old really either

>>14700064

>9 years a NEET

What is that like?

I can't tell if being a NEET for that long sounds amazing, or if it sounds like a whole different type of hell.

>>14700074

I don't get involved in communities, knowing full well that the community for pretty much anything is going to be intolerable garbage. I'll just skim through whatever they're blabbing about, go straight for the download links and be on my merry way. So long as the cancer doesn't manifest directly into whatever I'm playing, then I'm good to go.

I just saw BoF2 in the list, funny enough. I think I'll peek at that, since a good translation can make all the difference in a game. FFVI is one of my absolute favorite games, but the Woolsey translation is a total wreck - but I loved the Sky Render translation. So seeing more full translations of games I've loved or have been wanting to play warms my heart.

I added all of those groups into a text file so I'll rummage through them over the next couple of days. I'll keep you updated on the next 4AM bread.

>>14700107

Damn, that's a shame. Is Phantasia PS1 the same as Phantasia SNES? I recall being completely blown away with how the SPC700 handled the music for that game.

>>14700121

that's some lasting power then i'd say

>>14700126

I think NEET life has a curve to it. The first few years are amazing. Then theres a time where it kinda sucks because of boredom and depression. But then it becomes the only thing you know and you get good at filling the time so it becomes amazing again. I couldn't live any other way at this point.

>>14700129

Was just thinking earlier today how crapcom haven't done shit with megaman in years besides some nip only mobile phone game. Sad times for old series

>>14700131

Yeah and imagine if this new OVA leads to a 4th season!

>>14700126

>Is Phantasia PS1 the same as Phantasia SNES?

No, it's an SFC-to-PS1 remake, using an improved build of Destiny's engine. Has faster combat, an additional playable character, extra content, etc etc. Even the fan-translation quality, be it A0t or Phantasian Productions (Cless' goal being to provide an "official quality" patch, though it took him twelve fucking years), is much better than DeJap's "fucks like a tiger" and other liberties being taken with the SFC patch.

You're right though, that the SFC original was still impressive for what WolfTeam accomplished with it, both in the music and the voicing department.

Narikiri Dungeon X English never-ever.

>>14700134

that would be something

>>14700144

At the very least the only JRPG series I care about is long dead anyway

>>14700143

That it would

>>14699838

I played ys1+2 on NES they don't see 2 get any luv

>>14700151

When'd you break out of jail?

>>14700126

Also as a heads up, the PS3 has started seeing a trickle of fan-translation patches with Tales of Vesperia and a script rip patch of Berseria (to bypass the official western release's censorship), and the 3DS and Vita are apparently both workable to hack and build translations around too, so those should have a growing scene as well. All three systems are also CFWable these days too.

>>14700148

Which one was that? Legaia? Actually still need to get around to that one myself. Think I'll just dump an ISO on my PS3, or an eboot on my PSP for that one though, as it's like $35-40 where I am for some reason these days.

Saw a copy of Legaia 2 in the bargain bin a few days back. Is that one as bad as some people make it out to be?

>>14700154

wut?

>>14700151

you referring to the NES versions or Ys I & II in general?

I'm saddened by the lack of Dogi in Ys II so far.

>>14700157

Yeah its terrible. Even someone like me who loves the first one to death hasn't played all of 2. Its one of those weird games that just sorta emulates the first one but isn't connected, and it loses all the charm the first one had.

>>14700159

You know what I'm talking about monica

>>14700161

yeah, I never tried to emulate the more notable versions I just assumed they'd be more obscure or harder to get going

>>14700165

uh okay Ritsu….is he losing control?

>>14700165

Sounds like it and Jade Cocoon suffered similarly short lived fates and relevance.

>>14700134

I started working again right as my NEET time started to shift. It started to suck because I lost track of days and time altogether, only showered once a week from impending depression/emptiness, and suffered this weird ego death where I didn't have an identity anymore, just existing as this feral creature in a completely empty house.

I'd love to revisit the NEET life again; but I need to set myself up for it so I can enjoy it on a longer scale than just a month or two. After six years of being away from the NEET life, I've settled back into the old, comfortable ways almost immediately. Feels like reuniting with an old friend or an old lover. I'm a little concerned at just how quick and comfortable the adaptation was.

How do you financially manage to be a NEET for that long? I'm absolutely envious.

>>14700136

I'm going to grab the PS1 version of that then, and give it a try. I need a nice, comfy JRPG to fully lose myself into.

>>14700157

Going to keep my eye on those and follow them. Thanks for the heads up on that.

>>14700168

Can't lose what you never had

>>14700172

Never played.

But yeah LoL2 just lifts the same exact structure of the first and has similar looking characters. Its weird. Like a knock off of itself

>>14700174

Time had no meaning to me at all until 4am. Funny enough this thread gave me a little control with that.

And I just live with my parents tbh

>>14700180

bawwwww

>>14700164

I know I know

> tfw you will never be as cool or strong as Dogi

>>14700168

I haven't played the NES versions myself, but I know Ys was a real homerun on it's original release on PC-88. Ys I and II Chronicles on PC is my first real dive into the Ys games I actually tried Origins before but felt pretty fucking lost in it, but that's because I didn't play Ys I and II first apparently.

You could always just pirate the Chronicles version on PC, or emulate the Complete version for PSP. It's pretty easy to emulate shit on PPSSPP amigo. The Chronicles release is pretty damned great though. You can choose between two different art styles for the sprites/artwork in the game, as well as 3 different music styles: the new Chronicles music which is kickass, the Complete music from the PSP version which ain't bad, and the original PC-88 music. I like to use the Complete visuals with the Chronicles OST tbh.

>>14700185

what honestly surprised me was that I expected the bump combat to be uninteresting but it wasn't. It's a little, not sure what word to describe it to be honest, deceptive maybe, but once you get the hang of it fighting anything was pretty fun.

>>14700183

F

>>14700191

How goes anon

>>14700180

>Never played.

Bug focused monster catching/raising/battling with Ghibli designs.

>>14700202

I don't think it was officially designed by Ghibli, but their designer used to work for Ghibli and went for that look.

>>14700207

That's what I meant by ghibli designs, not so much that ghibli worked on it directly ala Ni No Kuni.

>>14700174

>living with parents

I wish I could go back to living with my parents.

My father passed away three years ago, and my mother has been slowly deteriorating, she's become disabled and lost her eyesight. So that scenario stopped being an option a couple of years ago.

Makes me all the more envious. I would love to have that life back. I hope it never stops being awesome for you.

>>14700187

I'd probably get both and see which I prefer more within the first 20 minutes of each. I like for my translations to be 1:1 as much as possible, but I know that's easier said than done, due to context.

>that trailer

Figures.

>>14700191

>I think it kind of just feels like being put up on a shelf, waiting.

I think being put up on a shelf is its own reward. Tucked away, safe and sound, and forgotten by the world. When there's nothing to wait for, everything happens as they happen, which can be nice in and of itself. Little surprises.

>>14700193

That surprised me a lot too. I'd always passed over the Ys games time and time again because the bump combat looked pretty lame, but god strike me down if it ain't fun. It helps the game keep this overall fast pace as you run through monsters and into towns then through more monsters in dungeons and into bosses. The action never really stops.

>>14700195

> how Atlus managed to screw up Temple of Solomon as Temple of Salmon.

Hilarious. I never knew this was a thing. XSEED fixed it in the Chronicles release though.

>>14700222

My parents can be incredibly annoying. At this point I'm just dreaming I win the lottery or something but that ain't going to happen.

>>14700198

hey, good thanks. how bout you? I'm gonna start looking for a bartending job soon so i can pay for pilot's license and some other stuff.

>>14700226

>>14700227

>pilots license

That'd be so great. I'd love more than anything to be able to fly. Ain't that super expensive though

>>14700237

>It was before XSEED made their little deal with Falcom (which seems to be ended with Falcom seeking Aksys and NISA)

hopefully that'll be turned around now that NISA has completely botched Ys VIII. From what I understand, the NIS president was fuckin pissed that a branch of his OWN company totally mutilated a game series he holds near and dear to his heart. The dude still has a PC98 just to play the fucking original versions of Ys I and II. And now with NISA STILL fucking up the supposed "fixing" of Ys VIII, I can only pray this is the death toll for them.

>>14700226

The fact that the lottery exists proves the point that everyone would become a NEET if the option became available.

>>14700237

That sounds fun. I will check that out as well. It sounds both funny and weird enough to be just my thing. I'll let you know what I think once I grab it.

Coffee has run out, and I think my batteries are finally running low. I'm heading to bed. Have a good night, bros. Maybe I'll start regularly posting in these threads.

>>14700258

> though perhaps Falcom will avoid using them in the future

if that much happens, that'll be good enough for me. I don't know why they even considered not using XSEED anyway, like they have been, XSEED has been doing fantastic work with Falcom's games.

>>14700241

Also, I saw this on one of the few DA artists I keep tabs on. So here it is if you haven't seen it yet TitSanon.

>>14700255

Not having any control over your life is the worst possible outcome anyone can have. It's why I've been mortified at the thought of having kids. And after paying for an abortion, gave up on women and sex entirely. Fuck that shit.

>>14700258

I'll keep myself blissfully ignorant to as much as possible, while also downloading as much as possible!

Goodnight, bros. Catch you dudes on the next bread.

I think I'm gonna head off to bed. I gotta get up early enough for my appointment at the post office. Catch you all tomorrow.

>>14700266

oh damn, that's pretty nice. Thanks.

>>14700278

> an anon who worked with NG or TR

ah, you mean totally-not-tyler? I remember him popping into a vita thread every now and again.

> NISA are cheap whores on publicity

no surprises there

> XSEED might just be somewhat pricy, and I heard Ys VIII had a fucking huge script, at least compared to most Ys. Might explain why they'd drop XSEED and look for someone cheaper for it.

hadn't considered that. But then again, you get what you pay for.
