Re: the koba thread (Zwei!!)
honestly i realized the whole
masked dude is paradys
thing without watching the episodes because of seeing the 2008 arrange ost's cover art when i was listening to a track from later in the game, mythical land serpentina (found out through an 100 rpg dungeon songs video), which is also the psp version's coverlike there's
a beautiful girl on the left who looks like a princess or goddess and the masked dude on the right
. hellooh yeah and paradys is pronounced puh rah diss (パラディス) which sucks because i wanted it to be a pun on paradise

Re: the koba thread (Zwei!!)
Yeah I was figuring as such as I was making the post. Falcom is no stranger to weird typo names, like Felicon (フェリコン) for a falcon type enemy in White Witch. Or Elcargot (エルカルゴ) for a snail type enemy in A Tear of Vermilion and the PSP versions of the Gagharv trilogy (at least WW/Moonlight Witch and AToV, not sure about Cagesong), as they take enemy and NPC graphics from the Windows Me/2000 version of AToV instead of having new assets drawn specifically for the titles from Falcom artists*.
There was also a hermit crab enemy in the PC98/PSX/PC and Saturn versions of White Witch named Deathcargot (デスカルゴ), if I'm not mistaken. I do remember seeing it multiple times in my Saturn playthrough, high defense little fuckers (speaking of which the Saturn remaster has like 10 distinct enemies and the latter half only show up in the final chapter which is bonkers).

Re: the koba thread (Zwei!!)
Okay I just finished catching up and I have to let this out. I feel like a lot of people in the comments section are just like hate watching the game and only clicking on the videos to consume raocow's monkey cheese. Every few videos there's people complaining about the game and it's really annoying and ruining the LP for me. Fawriel is being especially annoying with this.
I wrote:i dont see the point in complaining about stuff like ["Mask McMaskface"] and the memes since its very clearly meant to be purposefully bad jokes but im also extremely bitter of people doing stuff like calling working designs' garbage good because this is like the nectar of the gods in comparison to their south park republican-ass schlock.
now would i say that this localization is the best? no. but i feel it is a decent attempt at translating the bakage (stupid game) esque appeal of the original text, even if it goes a bit too far at times. it's not taking a normal, wholesome game and ruining its identity by turning it into mid 90s family guy like working designs' lunar translations, nor is it barely translated like the gagharv games or snes ff4 or wild arms 2 so really i feel like even with splendidland's old meme in there it's fine
like people in this comment section have been increasingly hostile to the game because of its dated gameplay elements and it daring to have lame humor and whatnot and i feel like this is an unfair treatment from people who aren't aware of the history of nihon falcom and the inspiration behind japanese dungeon crawlers like this such as the mystery dungeon games outside of playing the pokémon ones.
im not saying you have to like this game to truly appreciate rpgs, it's barely a blip on the radar, but i feel like people are expecting way too much from a game made by a developer that was in the red in 2001 and a translation that was made to make people laugh with the game as the original game intended.
just a past few videos i saw like. fawriel going "oh so the typing of ys must be why raocow decided to play a game he's only heard nothing but bad things about" not realizing that 1) this was a patreon choice 2) due to being a patreon choice there's someone who really wanted him to play this game 3) imagine that person seeing all this shit in the comments like (i mean it's sinc-x and knowing him, he doesn't care, but imagine if it was someone else)
i dont really know what else to say other than "nintendo fans make your personality anything beyond not liking jrpgs challenge (impossible)". i get the appeal of watching this series for raocow but if you're just gonna shit on the game the whole way then why bother, you're just harvesting toxicity. as a jrpg enthusiast im really just avoiding the comments on here because its all people who'd rather just raocow play more platforming and mario games rather than stepping out of his comfort zone, not understand that that is the intention of patreon votes in the first place

Re: the koba thread (Zwei!!)
I'm quietly enjoying the series and I like seeing raocow combine food into more food, it looks clunky but in a way I can kinda get behind, and the art is very nice. But some of the jokes just don't land. Some of them do! But the ones that don't tend to do that thing where they keep going on on that joke for a few more lines insread of moving past it. If I were playing myself my eyes would just kinda glaze over when that happened.
That's really my two cents. Also the magnet stuff kinda stinks but that's whatever.

Re: the koba thread (Zwei!!)
The only things I have to say to all that to are stop reading the comment section if it's causing you strife, and stop bringing up that one company, it makes it look like you have a bizarre vendetta against it you're stuck on.

Re: the koba thread (Zwei!!)
valid, some of it also spreads to the thread though, including from you
its not exactly a vendetta it's more my rage cannot be contained ever since i found out they added a fucking rape implication on the part of a villain into arc the lad 2 and i will live the rest of my life telling vic ireland he can choke on my big fat thorny cat dick if i can, so no

Re: the koba thread (Zwei!!)
Maybe it's just me? I'm probably exaggerating it in my mind. I dunno I guess I'm just sensitive about JRPGs because they're a special interest of mine. Mental illnesses! I'm sorry for whining dude :<
Been a lot more sensitive recently, I'm really sorry.
Anyway
This is a bit personal but it's sort of an apology to you for being sassy. You are a huge weenie sometimes but you deserved better than me being a cheeky bastard and honestly I've been very sensitive about JRPGs recently, especially to thatguyif. I am keeping the xXxVICxxIRELANDxxHATERxx1997xXx nick on discordhaus tho.Grounder wrote:

Re: the koba thread (Zwei!!)
So I think the labyrinth music was also used in Distorted Travesty 3 for something? If nothing else that series was really good at choosing bangers to rip out of various titles.
Re: the koba thread (Zwei!!)
I definitely remember this one, it was used for Sky Cave and uh, maybe some other area??? I remember hearing it a lot at some point

Re: the koba thread (Zwei!!)
It's interesting how much raocow prefers offense to defense in equipment, but changing the mechanism to increasing damage through crits and defense through healing makes him prefer the defensive arcanum instead.
Money can still be useful for the really nice equipment we've seen for sale, but i don't know how plausible it is to reach those amounts.

I realise that I need to compensate for my zeal for offense with *something* if I want to actual live through the dungeons

Re: the koba thread (Zwei!!)
I also never took off the water scroll after getting it, even with the wind scroll as an alternative. The healing is that good.
Re: the koba thread (Zwei!!)
I don't know how the numbers compare in this particular game, but in general i think healing can feel better psychologically than higher defense stats, where you can see your health going back up rather than just dwindling a little more slowly. Plus it has the advantage that it helps against any damage type.
Re: the koba thread (Zwei!!)
Tiara combining the power of all 6 jewels with enough of her own power to knock herself out would have been much cooler to open that giant gate graphic in the background as opposed to restoring a small bridge, especially when there is already clearly a simple hand-made bridge re-connecting a similar gap meters away. Although the giant gate being a misdirection and the actual scene being this piddly little bridge is pretty amusing, and it wouldn't be out of character for this game to have set that up deliberately as a joke, so i quite like it.
Re: the koba thread (Zwei!!)
Catching up on this series during work, and that is really cool how the theme of Serpentina uses the leitmotif of the world map.
Re: the koba thread (Zwei!!)
Shame the boss seems to be a massive damage sponge. Playing cat and mouse might have been fun after a while.
