This looks neat! Hope it comes to consoles. What do they mean, action battle system? Is it not turn based? Or they mean Mario rpg style button tapping with the turn based system?

@DestructoDisk I tend to agree with you. But the psx version of sotn doesn’t use redbook audio does it? I think it’s fairly low grade digital audio (all one recorded track vs using midi, and “streamed” from the disc rather than being read as redbook tracks from the cd itself, unless they are tracks not accessible by a normal cd player somehow, but I’m not sure that existed)

But either way, as said, I tend to agree with you, and also hate to shatter interesting dreams/hypotheses!

@RetroGames this is probably neither here nor there, but the version of rondo of blood that made it to super famicom is pretty underwhelming. … just have to think that if sotn started as a super famicom demo sort of thing, then why is rondo on super famicom so impaired. But, again, neither here nor there…

Fascinating. Never knew any of this! I would have ate up these rumors as a kid.

It works ok-ish on the series consoles at least, or well enough that I grabbed sine mora, a few others, and am hoping blue dragon and lost odyssey are cheap to get as well. While this type of thing is always depressing, at least it’s been basically backward compatible on their current gen all this time. Sure can’t say that about ps3 on ps4/5, or wii on switch!!!

@Andee yeah in his defense (not that I’m defending him), the modern MK games are disgusting. So is their gameplay bankruptcy

@KidRisky no one is celebrating, just stating fact, but there are better reasons. His politics were abhorrent. He’s one of the big reasons the affordable care act lost the public option. He almost ran as John McCains running mate instead of Sarah palin. As a human being, I do not judge; as a politician, you had to vote for the lesser of two evils, and he may have been the lesser. I don’t judge your vote either. But his politics were awful. And he was about as pro-war as they come. His decisions led to lives lost and destroyed, more fatalities than mortal kombat ever had.

Trying to ban video games wasn’t even the worst thing he did. He was one of the most rigidly conservative democrats ever and tried to gimp the party at every turn. He firebombed the public option from the affordable care act, for one. He was a shill. Hate to speak ill of the dead but as far as his politics, f that guy.

Bunch of westerners saying “JRPG isn’t offensive” is about like a bunch of white people saying racial slurs aren’t offensive.

I never noticed how much “JRPG” actually gets used until after the Yoshi-P comment. Back in the day, it was not used. CRPG meant console rpg back then, vs PCRPG. Now crpg obviously means computer rpg. And now “JRPG” is basically meaningless—yet still a loaded term.

There needs to be a yuzo koshiro collection. Or an ancient corp collection.

I played arena but didn’t really get it. Daggerfall was still the best tho! Loved oblivion, but Skyrim removed so much complexity and killed so many of the simulation elements.

Someone should do something with the snes expansion port too.

I’d probably buy this now if it was out on Xbox. I feel like I’ve been waiting ages, but I think it was only ever announced last year.
