Valkyria Chronicles, it's within the time limit, Barely.

Rogue Galaxy wasn't a good game

>>15711216

Your parents decision not to abort you wasn't a good one

>>15711228

I'm right though, it's not a good game

it's a perfect game

>>15711228

lol butthurt

>>15711216

It was easily the best game Level-5 made

Can this be emulated well?

>>15711206

VC was a game with some interesting ideas but also a lot of unfortunately big flaws. Memorable, I'll give you that, but I wouldn't call it great.

>>15711276

Good story but i hate the dumb-down mmo light game-play, And don't get me started on the side quest's, It had potential but if we had the same number of rpg's coming out we had in the 90's it would not have taken off like it did.

>>15711276

I got like halfway through Rogue Galaxy and got bored with it, but I had a roommate at the time that loved it. It's indeed a love it or hate it thing. I personally thought the gameplay was bland and I couldn't stand the localization, it was pretty awful even for early 2000s standards. I may pop it in one day just to give it a second chance though.

>>15711287

A lot of the charm of Xenoblade is the exploration of the massive environments and impressive draw distance. It was really cool to see things far off in the distance and eventually be able to explore them. The sequel handled sidequests better though.

>>15711287

Admittedly the sidequests could have been done better (I'm not sure if XCX or XB2 have seen to that or not; no WiiU or Switch here), or at least had more of a world building emphasis, the way the locket one did, or more gameplay perk to do, like the portable ether furnace. Completionist's nightmare. Still on the whole a very good memorable game, and the threads when it was current here in NA were a lot of fun.

Ghost Trick also fits the age limit and has long been a memorable favorite amongst /v/irgins.

>I couldn't stand the localization, it was pretty awful even for early 2000s standards.

Early 2000s? That was late-mid 2000s at 2007. Also handled by 8-4, whose quality seems dependent on who hires them, or if left to their own devices (which is what they prefer).

>EDF4.1 and EDF5

>Legend of Heroes Ao/Zero no Kiseki

>Deception IV Nightmare Princess

>Super Robot Wars V

>Soul Sacrifice Delta

>Dragon's Crown

>Oboro Muramasa

>Gravity Daze/Rush

That's said, I believe the PS2/Gamecube era (and beforehand) is left unrivaled although the DS and PSP did a good job to follow this legacy. Vita could have done much better if Sony wasnt retarded

>>15711329

No matter how long… i'll wait Forever and ever.

>>15711334

Handhelds definitely felt like they had more of a quality library than consoles in seventh gen, though admittedly they still had a lot of shovelware too (as any popular system sees). Perhaps on account of increasing console development costs driving some series and devs to handhelds.

>>15711328

>late mid 2000s

Close enough, I still don't have fond memories of the localization. In particular I remember they had some clerk that talked like a teenage valley girl bimbo, which was a go-to archetype for a lot of western localizers and voice actors in games and anime when they don't know how to deal with regional nip accents or cute characters. I'm picky about localization and I'm not nuts about a lot of the freelancers 8-4 hires from time to time, so I guess you can take my opinion with a grain of salt.

>>15711389

>a lot of the freelancers 8-4 hires from time to time

So they don't even have a core team and just stick different people to different projects as well?

>>15711493

Odin Sphere Leifthrasir is an HD rerelease with a rebalance

>>15711505

one that plays way better than the original. Thanks for "correcting the record"

>>15711505

Leifthrasir is dual extended HD port and gameplay remake. Sort of inbetween a new game and not.

>>15711510

Also still good, I might add, and in having both forms of gameplay present, serves to satisfy more people than most modern remakes are apt to.

>>15711507

Oh, it was unforgettable alright, unforgettably gud.

Even if I did name a game, it'll inevitably just be shit on by you in the name of maintaining your delusional mindset.

>>15711580

>Saving a thumbnail.

>Reposting a thumbnail.

I'm just saying.

>>15711406

Yeah, they hire a lot of freelancers and contractors, that is why their quality is all over the place. Sometimes they hire a few people that once worked at Working Designs, and you can see they still have the same bad habits and shitty 90s pop culture references. Hiring contractors and freelancers is a bit of an industry wide practice, that's why there is so much inconsistency even from the same publishers and localization contractors. This is compounded even further when publishers don't bother putting a leash on the people they pick up for writers and editors, because a lot of those sort of people are out of touch gen Xers and twitter junkies, and you get what comes with that if the publisher doesn't care about the final product.

>>15711493

All of tohse are shit. And yes, new games are all shit.

Any game from 2007 onward is shit.

>>15711598

Mind me asking for proof? I'm not saying I doubt it, but it would be nice to directly have the evidence one of the biggest, go-to localization companies has just been outsourcing to WDshitters and others rather than having tried to build a quality, internal team. Or is it just an amalgam of background checks from games they've had under there belt via stuff like Moby Games credits pages?

>>15711493

>Ys VIII

In Japanese and not on PC, maybe. Fucking NISA.

>>15711615

I don't have anything off hand, but if you're interested look at some of the people from the localization teams in the credits and search them on twitter. Many of them are self-proclaimed "freelancers" in their profiles. It's not even really "outsourcing" and it isn't something unique to 8-4, either.

Unfortunately I can't even find any of the twitter caps from some of them right now, let alone an archive. Sorry anon.

>>15711640

Well, thanks for the information anyhow. Main freelancer I'd been aware of was that Bateman fuck.

I'm too lazy to read it all, does he mention how half of every character portrait has this ugly ass white gradient on it? Also, the great art was just completely shat on. In particular all of the effort put into Eruca's design now means nothing because she's pure uguu trash.

>Let's take Dark Chronicles battle system and force some AI partners into it

>>15711722

>does he mention how half of every character portrait has this ugly ass white gradient on it?

I don't think so directly, but there is an image in one of his posts showcasing it.

>Also, the great art was just completely shat on. In particular all of the effort put into Eruca's design now means nothing because she's pure uguu trash.

That is something I honestly don't get why they did it, be it for this, or the difference in quality for nuStrange Journey. Did Radiant Historia fail to do nearly as well in Japan and the difference in style and design was meant to appeal more to the potential native audience? Or was it simply to encourage people to hand over more money to get the previous art style back?

Tangentially related, but also deleting the existing RH subdomain of their website, Fatlus deleted the old staff interviews for the DS original. In fact, the only DS game still listed on their website, at least out here, is Devil Survivor 2. Likewise, there's only a single PSP game given the time of day (Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time), and while I'm not sure I'd expect PS1 to have been current when they might have been first making their current site, I'd expect at least a PS2 section given how much stuff their Japanese branch made as well as what the western branch brought over, and how they've been reprinted and digitally rereleased over the years, but there isn't one. I know memory or bandwidth or whatever has a cost associated, but you'd think they're deliberately covering up their past to promote current stuff, especially in cases of these 3DS remakes since those are what's current.

At least the entirety of the old Radiant Historia staff interviews got archived. Someone ought to see if it's the same case for other games that have had their URLs repurposed or their entire game sections deleted.

>>15711257

Yes, and it was still a pile of shit.

>>15711287

Rogue Galaxy is a generic jrpg for kids. You only like it because it was your first.

Xenoblade had a most unique setting that craps on every other fantasy world designed either in the east or in the west. Mechonis and Bionis, not Shulk and Gayban.

Does Rogue Galaxy offer some challenge?

I'm looking for ps2 rpgs around the Nocturne/DQVIII difficulty range.

>>15711607

Fuck off oath babby

>>15711915

Oath is objectively better than any of the 3ds

>>15711915

I haven't seen a single good argument for the party Ys games.

As far as I'm concerned Ys died in Origin and then Kiseki was a followup that will never be continued because Falcom now caters to stupid fucks who really want their high school shounen anime games. Tokyo Xanadu was shit, Cold Steel in all its forms is shit and Seven, Celeceta were shit and I have no reason to believe Lacrimosa is any different.

>>15711507

What is this I want to find more games compatible with my Old computer.

>>15711953

And by Kiseki I meant Nayuta.

>>15711953

What I really dislike about Cold Steel is how they didn't build on the orbment system they had already created and improved over the Sora and Zero/Ao games, they just dropped it for some shitty

[Quartz]=[Set spells+stats or a special effect]

system. I also don't like how the combat doesn't try to make crafts either change the condition of an area or damage enemies depending on where you are, which would have been the natural progression from the previous games. I blame this on the departure from grids to everything now being circular because muh 3D. Equipment is also still just a glorified stat incline that could've easily been implemented into character levels. Admittedly Cold Steel didn't start this and a metric fuckton of rpgs suffer from this kind of stuff, doesn't excuse it though. The dungeons somehow got more linear in design from the predecessors, and smacking enemies in the back in the overworld and stunning them is so overpowered it's not even funny. It also feels insanely clunky to do most of the time, they really should have redesigned this from the ground up to not be so shitty. Cold Steel 2 admittedly makes it a little better but it's still shit. Call me a faggot but I still fucking love the story of these games, it seems like the only people ever putting their full attention into the games are the writers. Despite it's flaws it's still a pretty good experience, but a huge stepdown in design from Zero/Ao which are probably going to forever be the pinnacle of the Densetsu series.

I totally forgot Rogue Galaxy existed until this thread and I played until I unlocked the swimsuit for the chick on the left of the boxart. Was fun. Released late PS2 and was pretty forgettable. Couldn't tell you what happened except Steve Blum was eyepatch guy and Keri Walgren was jungle bitch. Radiata Story is more memorable to me and I didn't even finish that.

>>15711507

The one thing that pisses me off is I can't import portraits so I can have craghack, Sandro, amazon, and various other characters on my team.
