      I'm certain it'll have at least a few good tracks. Even in the most recent games, Falcom's composers do pretty well. The only real issue is them getting a bit samey.

      Why can't these guys make a good game?

      Small company + bad business decisions + their internal culture + finding success in pandering. People blame Kondo too much, but we're probably not going to see the company change its strategy unless he leaves.

          They're a low budget company specifically because of a long history of bad decisions that cost them a lot of senior staff. They make decisions that don't kill them outright, but that doesn't make them good decisions.

          They don't invest any of the money they make back into the company. It's why every game perpetually looks and plays two generations behind and why their once legendary music which was 90% of why they once had a following to begin with has gotten shittier with every game.

      Xanadu Next sold like shit even back in the day, and it doesn't need a sequel regardless. Brandish 1's remake also flopped (for different reasons). Even in the 90s they were struggling to sell Brandish 3 and VT.

      It's fine if they don't want to make sequels to their old games, but they really need to diversify their output at bare minimum. Making old games readily available and promoting them within the fanbase would also help.

              No, that wouldn't happen. Plenty of better Souls and Diablo clones don't sell terribly well in Japan as is. Xseed tried selling it in the West and it flopped HARD. Voice acting isn't enough to suddenly make people care.

    Ys 8 is mediocre.
    The DLC turned main game content where you flash back to Dana and play her and two of her forms in a dungeon, all sharing the same 4 abilities but each form having a variant of that ability, as well as it's own movement/puzzle gimmicks, damage types and attack moveset, that's some good shit and I really wish they'd make more of that instead.

      I mean that's fair, I can agree with that.

      never really got the love for ys honestly it has speed but it has 0 weight or any real customization and after the 4th game of ice level, volcano level, cave level, castle level erc it's just not really that interesting

      I feel like Oath and Origins manage to give Adol a feeling of weight. He's speedy, but the hit stop does a lot of heavy lifting. 1 and Dawn are pretty fun, imo.

The Legend of Xanadu guys were egocentric dramaprostitutes who didn't want to admit they needed help with the programming and would rather let the project burn.

                The PSP versions' gameplay is dollar store Lunar. It's way worse than the gameplay on the Windows ports. At least those kept things like the magic shops and didn't tack on some worthless pet system.

                The overall point is that Gagbarf kind of sucks as a series. LoH1 and LoH2 were somewhat generic, but decent turn-based JRPGs for the early 90s. Gagharv were crappy experiments produced by a team of newbies after Falcom lost most of their star developers.

                Yeah, so translate the originals instead of moronic intermediary versions. There's little value in Windows 3 and practically none in Windows 4. PC-98 4 is at least a different fricking game.

                The PC-98 version is actively disliked by even old school LoH fans. That's why it got totally reworked for the Windows port. It's a lousy semi-open world grandest where you can you're locked into one Adventurer's Guild quest at a time and have no idea which ones advance the story.

                I'm just saying the Windows version is a waste of time and effort when people will literally never stop begging for the PC-98 version because it's different. I'm fully aware Geofront has decided Windows is "better" and the fandom will appreciate choosing it, but they underestimate how stubborn people can be.

                So why even bother translating LoH 3 or 4 at all at that point? Games are already translated! The Windows versions are shit! You either translate a piece of shit or you translate a shittier game with more novelty.

                That's just how it goes. Pick a different project if you want to have fun. People are going to give you shit if you put out Windows 4 but not NEC 4.

            So yeah, they sit on it while trying to bait NISA to buy it out from them.

            Dinosaur barely has writing in it and the Windows version is comparable to Xanadu Next, the frick could they possibly be adding?

            Widescreen, 144fps, and arbitrary res support, most likely. And speedup like the Trails games. I don't think anyone cares about that so long as the game still works on modern Windows, but that's probably what they're up to.

      there's too many "shit anime game" shitposters, won't let us enjoy the goddamn threads and games in peace

        They're especially salty now because of SB getting exposed, so they cranked it up to 11 lately. ONLY against games with attractive characters of course. Expect the board to get even worse as it escalates.

        >Oh boy a falcom thread
        >Its fricking garbage

        Because you newbies keep replying to their bait. See they're even admitting they're here to shit up the threads and not to actually talk about games

        Garbage thread for a garbage game. Fits like a glove!

        here's some advice for the future for anyone using these threads for the first time: install Gankerx and check if they posted in the vg general:
        https://arch.b4k.co/vg/search/filename/2019-12-21_1734_1.png/
        If they did, do not reply. That simple.
        Do not reply to anyone who complains about coomers, incels, otaku, nerds and any and other such style posts. It's almost always some twitter loon with pronouns in their bio.
        aceman is generally cool but i caught him shitposting without his trip before, he knows what he's doing

          Piss off, troony. I can call the devs of Scarlet Nexus braindead otaku all I want. My criticism of their writing and game design skills aren't related to the visual style of the game, otherwise I'd be shitting on Code Vein.

    Question, what emulator is there for the Nokia N-Gage because I want to play Xanadu NEXT (The N-Gage version and not PC)?

    • 3 months ago
      Anonymous

      I'd say play PC first, but if you're curious I hear EKA2L1 is the good NGage emulator. No idea if it runs Xanadu Next.

    Of all the things they could've developed, they had to go with a sequel to this frick-ass dollar store ARPG Persona knockoff.

    I wonder how far the story will devolve into a trashy kaiju flick this time around, cause boy was the original a total waste of time.

    I hope that Aksys handle the localization again.

      they might just let NISA take it

      then again. The switch version of TX is getting retranslated by Aksys so I guess there's a tiny possibility of them getting TX2

        I know namegays are stupid, tripgays especially so, but it's not about "letting" them do things.

    >Tokyo Xanadu is the only game in the series without la valse pour xanadu
    no idea why Falcom didn't make it its own separate series rather than making it a part of Xanadu when it's so vastly different
