I'd say you're gaining good insight into how subtly some - and many outdated - game design practices change and evolve over time. It's an interesting element that otherwise might get lost if you could just pick and choose from the whole SFC library.<br /><br />Certainly there does exist an arc of evolution within the SFC RPG genre, and the game experiences are, by a wide general margin, only getting better as devs learn from mistakes made along the way.monjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814225763955714492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079946447102636111.post-76517976839779895302018-03-20T17:03:34.442-04:002018-03-20T17:03:34.442-04:00Yeah I think it definitely makes a difference the ...Yeah I think it definitely makes a difference the way I'm doing this. If you're approaching this from the standpoint that you can play any game in the SFC library (not to mention other consoles) it's really not that special. But compared to what I've played so far it's quite good. Sometimes a game doesn't maintain its quality, but given the 5 or so hours I've played so far this game is the best game I've played next to Dragon Quest V.Kurisuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00132568197501054206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079946447102636111.post-69796957950122550672018-03-20T14:08:50.774-04:002018-03-20T14:08:50.774-04:00I've played through BoF 1 and 2 a few years ag...I've played through BoF 1 and 2 a few years ago, and honestly didn't find them particularly remarkable, especially the first one. Not bad either, just a bit bland. But then, I hadn't forced myself to slog through the garbage you had to put up with for this blog, and they should easily beat most of the games you played here so far.Atantuohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15853865245930951775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079946447102636111.post-21671624451816493322018-03-20T08:41:13.197-04:002018-03-20T08:41:13.197-04:00Breath of Fire is one of my favorites.

It was the most ridiculous thing I have ever done.GuilhermeKinnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655971852574637878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079946447102636111.post-19501239858255682482018-03-19T21:51:48.031-04:002018-03-19T21:51:48.031-04:00After reading this again I think maybe I omitted t...After reading this again I think maybe I omitted too much in this post; I may try to expand it tomorrow or Wednesday with a little bit more detail about the middle parts.Kurisuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00132568197501054206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079946447102636111.post-23230395537965255762018-03-19T21:39:17.017-04:002018-03-19T21:39:17.017-04:00It took me 10 hours according to Medlaunch, althou...It took me 10 hours according to Medlaunch, although that includes a lot of speedup battles, and I used a walkthrough to find the things you have to activate to reach the heaven kingdom.<br /><br />I probably could have gone into more detail about each quest and location but it really wasn't that memorable to me. Probably I should have tried to write more but I'm pretty busy this week and I wanted to get something up.<br /><br />BoF is good so far. It's definitely a standout RPG compared to the others I've played, at least judging from the first couple of hours.Kurisuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00132568197501054206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079946447102636111.post-49463833096422024512018-03-19T19:53:43.944-04:002018-03-19T19:53:43.944-04:00I figured I must have had played BOF1 way back in ...I figured I must have had played BOF1 way back in the day, but turns out I was wrong! Never having finished it, I'm much looking forward to your playthrough and comments.<br /><br />As for Tenshi no Uta... wow, you went from zero to final dungeon in like two paragraphs. Must have seriously been way too short - but sometimes it's great not having to afford week(s) for a single rpg. So there was little if any padding via grinding or tedious fetch quests along the way?<br /><br />Nightcrawler's translation of the snes version appears close to being finished. We'll see what has changed in that version later, then.monjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814225763955714492noreply@blogger.com
