Elowin: chronische Chronische: elowin Elowin: i need to ask you a deep philosophical question Chronische: shoot Elowin: why is it that good games like shinobido are completely forgotten by eve ryone while trash like final fantasy 13 is common knowledge Chronische: Usually because of marketing Elowin: marketing is officially the spawn of satan Chronische: Well it IS needed for people to hear about the game at all but the p roblem is that AAA titles spend a good portion of their many MANY millions on ma rketing, drowning out the good games Chronische: Indeed, FF 13 being trash ALSO made it well known Chronische: All publicity is still publicity Elowin: at least Beyond Good and Evil got recognized ten years after it got wrec ked Chronische: You haven't even seen Cromartie High, and hadn't seen Samurai Jack Chronische: poor Beyond Good and Evil Chronische: I remember hearing lots of good things about it when it came out Chronische: there were a LOT of good games coming out back then, before AAA titl es absoultely trashed the regular marketplace Elowin: yeah Elowin: it's too bad a lot of them were completely unknown even back then Elowin: and most didn't even get recognized later like Beyond Good and Evil did Elowin: ;< Chronische: Well, again, marketing. They couldn't afford any real marketing Chronische: Like, the best most could afford was space in magazines Elowin: or they were made by japanese people and they completely forgot/fucked u p the western market Chronische: yeah well fuk dem wacko jappos Elowin: wow rued Chronische: but for real Chronische: games like Popolocrois were completely unheard of in the US Chronische: Popolocrois and Legend of Heroes Elowin: wtf is a popolocrois Chronische: exactly Chronische: It's a fun JRPG Elowin: impossibru Elowin: no such thing exists Chronische: they exist! Elowin: there's literally less than a dozen JRPGs i can even remotely stand Chronische: like what Elowin: and most of them are tactical RPGs so i'm not even sure if they quite co unt ;ooo Elowin: uhm Elowin: disgaea and tactics ogre for starters Chronische: haha, well Popolocrois has decent tactical combat Elowin: those two are the best shit Chronische: Tactics ogre is good shit Elowin: i dont like final fantasy tactics Elowin: ironically Chronische: It's watered down tactics ogre Chronische: easy as FUCK to break over your knee Elowin: i also like final fantasy 4 and 6 Elowin: 7 was okay Elowin: i hate pretty much all the rest Chronische: you ever played Dragon Quest? Elowin: nop Chronische: DQ 4,5,6 and 8 are good Elowin: do you reccomend any one of them in particular?

Elowin: hue Chronische: fucking hell this internet Elowin: i've finally transmitted the curse Elowin: Elowin: well, here's hoping PCSX2 doesnt hate it Chronische: Chronische: But I can also send you the US version of Popolocrois It's a compressed version of almost a decade of Popolocrois games Chronische: it shouldn't, I've played it myself on the PC Elowin: cool Chronische: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOpNS3bM-EE Opening cutscene of Popo locrois Chronische: it's a fantastic game Elowin: well i'm DL'ing dragon quest now Chronische: that's the ORIGINAL popolocrois of course Elowin: heres hoping my internet doesnt fuck up before it's finished Chronische: which DQ? Elowin: 8 Elowin: wtf is that popolocrois cutscne Elowin: wot Elowin: that music sounds familiar tho Chronische: Gamigami devil is headed to popolocrois in his giant flying head Chronische: http://tindeck.com/listen/mcrw Elowin: yeah Elowin: that explains EVERYTHING Chronische: that's the music, I'd be VERY suprised if you had heard it before Elowin: i dont think i have Elowin: just something similar Chronische: I've got a PSP emulator and a working copy of a Popolocrois (US) rom Chronische: it's just too bad that they will never ever translate the series pro perly Elowin: gay Elowin: i cant moonspeak Elowin: altho i dont really mind if it's just subbed tbh Elowin: then i can laugh at the moonspeak Chronische: It's mostly text, like all JRPGs Elowin: awwww Chronische: and would you believe that came out in 98? Elowin: huh Elowin: better cutscenes than final fantasy 7 that's for sure Elowin: blegh Chronische: Dragon Quest is the definition of cliche (Dragon Quest is the first HUGE JRPG, and defined the genre) but it's still a lot of fun Chronische: guess the artist of the series, looking at the art Elowin: i dont give a fuck about it being cliche or not, as long as it's fun Elowin: the artist of what Chronische: dragon quest Elowin: is it the same for each one because i've only looked at 8 Chronische: same artist since the very beginning Elowin: huh Elowin: well Chronische: It is what made him famous by the by Elowin: i cant really answer that because i accidentally cheated Chronische: :O Elowin: when i went to the wikipedia page for DQ8 earlier i saw who it was Elowin: also have a hard time believing that's what made him famous and not derg ernbawl Elowin: he does seem to really like dergerns tho Elowin: works on all the dergern things Chronische: Dragonquest came first I believe Elowin: no Elowin: well maybe before the anime Elowin: but deffo not before the manga Chronische: Hurm.
