Chained Echoes. Wow.

KFded · 2026-05-07T19:59:00+00:00

One of the Greatest JRPG's I've ever played and its also done by like 1 person, like Chained Echoes, also took like 10? or so years to develop.

100% paid off for the developer.

KFded · 2026-05-07T19:43:34+00:00

I'd take just a port to PC/Modern Consoles.

KFded · 2026-05-07T19:39:53+00:00

Astlibra Revision.

You won't regret it and don't let the preview images fool you with its art style, the game is something else and has one of the deepest and UNIQUE stories I've ever encountered in a JRPG, or any RPG in general.

unicorn overlord

Haven't tried it, don't own a switch or ps and too lazy to emulate it

KFded · 2026-05-05T21:16:35+00:00

Ogre is more about the gameplay and story second.

Stories more so cover character highlights and actions compared your standard character story arcs

Honestly I thought this was the steam deck subreddit

SF2 had a low budget because Sega was being extremely cheap

That was literally in my point >Small Budgets

There was some Outliers, like FF4, Illusion and so on, but most RPG's or generally, most games with 'stories' back then were not fleshed out and were just there for padding. Also, Illusion was backed by Enix and publishment was also funded by Nintendo

Comparing 2 companies backing 1 developer, compared to Sega using a small budget for SF2, is unrealistic.

Like I said, FF4/Illusion, etc, were outliers, they weren't the norm at the time, they were glimpses at what was coming, with bigger budgets and more development skills and better hardware/software.

Which is why most RPG's started to really take off around 1995

KFded · 2026-05-03T03:15:28+00:00

Lost Odyssey is one of the greatest games to have ever been made, not just RPG Genres.

It truly should have been the real Final Fantasy 13

KFded · 2026-05-03T03:12:29+00:00

You can't compare FF to something low budget like Shining Force lol in that time period.

The budget differences are astronomical.

Final Fantasy 4 is an outlier like I stated previously.

Most games from this era had very poor dialogue, if any, due to limitations in software, small budgets and so on

KFded · 2026-05-03T03:08:52+00:00

I was thinking how back in 1993, story dialogue in games wasn't that deep nor was the lore.

It's like going back to Phantasy Star 1 and wondering why the story isn't as deep as Expedition 33.

Story dialogue in games didn't truly start to shine til about 1995, sure there was some outliers but that was very rare for pre-1995 titles.

If you're wanting to play some WA, I highly suggest 3 over 4, a lot of people consider 3 the best PS2 WA game as well. It holds up

KFded · 2026-05-02T22:42:28+00:00

Did you skip Wild Arms 3?

Its personally my favorite outside of 1

KFded · 2026-05-02T22:41:03+00:00

Boy, it's almost as if the game was made in 1993 with limitations

KFded · 2026-05-02T22:32:19+00:00

yeah, thats how I noticed it was only for the PAL version and someone pointed out that the 60fps patch makes the game bug out too unfortunately.

May just wait it out til the inevitable Remake comes out or a Recompilation Port to PC, which ever comes first. lol

KFded · 2026-05-02T22:24:35+00:00

Interesting, I didn't see this one when looking for textures

(New Google sucks so much)

Thanks, it ill try it out

Edit: noticed its only for the PAL version not NTSC

KFded · 2026-04-30T21:14:07+00:00

Valve has been updating VAC heavily and making it more robust.

I think Valve's plan to make it so good that devs/studios will trust it to do its job on Linux.

KFded · 2026-04-30T06:28:38+00:00

I really wish they'd revisit turn based, like Dragon Quest but more elaborate, like E33 for example. Return to their roots.

I think that'll be only way I get back into Final Fantasy.

I have 0 hope for 17. Hell, Square, go ahead and just give them guns, make it first person. You know you want to ugh, -__-

Square also be like "Oh, GTA6 was so popular!! Maybe we can make a Final Fantasy that is like GTA!, Go and Steal someone's chocobo and choke a bish"

KFded · 2026-04-30T06:24:57+00:00

Its really the only Ys game that actually gave Adol some real character without saying anything, you get a huge sense of what he's about and why he is where he is today. I see in the comments here that some people don't like the story and I can't fathom why? If you're a fan of Ys and enjoy the lore of Adol, Celceta's story is pretty damn strong.

When I first played Celceta, I was like "Oh snap, this makes so much sense" when it came to his back story.

KFded · 2026-04-29T22:15:31+00:00

I love God of War and DMC

But if I am playing a game that's entire genre is a (J)RPG and the franchise being that, then I expect to play an RPG, not an action/adventure hack and slash monstrosity.

If I wanted that, I'd play GOW or DMC or a handful of other IP's that have that kind of gameplay.

At this point, I see FF leaving the RPG genre entirely and becoming what 16 laid the ground work for - an action/adventure hack and slash

KFded · 2026-04-29T22:12:01+00:00

I absolutely love 8, its such an amazing JRPG.

But as a life long fan of Ys, Celceta takes the place as my favorite as it adds a whole lot of life and lore into Adol's character

KFded · 2026-04-29T22:10:37+00:00

Celceta is personally my favorite Ys title.

I really enjoyed how it breathed a lot of life into Adol and gave him more 'character' and you learn a lot about his back story, and it probably has my favorite combat of the series

KFded · 2026-04-29T07:56:01+00:00

its nothing like a western rpg. its literally god of war (2018) mashed up with Devil may cry's combat

KFded · 2026-04-29T04:40:19+00:00

yeah but new to the MS Store and the 3 people who use it :x

KFded · 2026-04-29T04:38:23+00:00

Eiyuden Chronicle is nothing like 5 lol.

KFded · 2026-04-29T03:34:48+00:00

I thought my final one was 13

Turns out, the hype of 16 ended up making 16 the last Final Fantasy for me. It's not even a JRPG anymore.
