Things that annoy me in the PS series

[augmentedfourth]

In no particular order:

Hahn and Kyra are usually drawn with their heads being way too small for their bodies.

If Nial marries Alair, Laya goes back to level 1 when she joins Aron. (Not that she's ever that powerful anyway.)

Dark Force comes before Mother Brain in PSII (I know why it's that way, plot-wise, but Dark Force should be the final boss, like in all the other games!).

Despite being part Layan, the descendants of Rhys and Maia get Laya's Pendant a whole generation later than the full Orakian son of Rhys and Lena.


More will come to me later. What are yours?

When enemies hit you in PSII, the screen flashes red three times. My eyes!

Here's two from PSII:

Laconian Daggers have attack power of 1 (actually a bug/typo), what makes Shir quite unuseful at later parts of the game.

Shir goes back to "home", all the way to Motavia, even when she steals on Dezo.

PSI: english translation sucked. many necessary clues were omited. (play the SMS power retranslated version to see what i mean)

PSII: continuous battle can be a problem when you want it to stop.

PSIII: where to begin... the game seems to have been designed for 6-10 yo.

PSIV: its just a walkthru comic book, no mystery, it always tells you exactly what to do next. replay value is minimal at best.

Umm... I can guess that you don't know this, so forgive me if you do... but hitting either the accept or cancel button will stop the continous battle at the last turn the moment you hit it (meaning, if you press the button at the start of a turn, you'll have to wait for the turn to be over before the cycle stops)

It was different and I'll say that the "Manga" style art (yes, there actually IS a difference between comics and manga. READ UP, PEOPLE!!!) is something that, I believe, should be used in more games. It gave PS4 a story depth found in no other PS title (to date!!!).

So, let go of your prejudices of the game. You're missing out on a "not-to-be-missed" title. I certainly won't care if you do or not, but you should give it a shot.

PS4 is indeed very easy game. Even the final boss is easy, usually when playing rpgs I have to train my group little more before facing final boss.

...

I agree with you. It was quite easy even when I hadn't found Positron Bolt for Wren. And I didn't knew very many combination attacks.

You know... whatever happend to that guy that was making that PS4 remake with 3d models?

[Zucca]

Nooo. Classic PS game in 3D. :E

Yes. I'm retroholic.

Yes. I'm retroholic.

yup, im gonna hafta completely agree with ya there

...after over a dozen years of 3D gaming Quake/Doom/Descent/Serious Sam i still love the simplicity of sprites and solid colors

Atough PS Gen 1 doesn't look bad:

[ThugsRook]

Although PS Gen 1 doesn't look bad

PSG1 looks awesome

i own it, but cant read japanese too well

from what ive read... those arent 3D models, just super high quality sprites. (i could be wrong tho)

[meteor9]

I have no problem with 3D as long as it's implemented well. The second it changes the flow of the game, though, I'm against it. You know, like long, drawn out attack animations ruining the quick battle speed or suchlike.

That said, I often find myself wondering what a PS3 or 4 remake would be like, and I think they could probably steal a thing or two from Suikoden for the battles. (Okay, so just multiple people attacking at once, but still.)

I disagree. I spent lots o time grinding. Sure it was my first RPG, but c'mon its a damn good game.
