"Slime" - 7th Dragon 2020

[setzeri]

If you knock on her head you can hear an empty echo, probably.

[imgibbon]

been thinking about Sands of Destruction for the Nintendo DS.

first of all, it's bad okay? just, not great lol. Possibly one of the worst JRPGs on the platform.

BUT

It's so close to being good lol

For those not in the know, it was made almost entirely by former Xeno devs, but Takahashi himself wasn't involved. But one of the other Xenogears writers/leads, Masato Kato, was, and it reads & plays as a spiritual sequel.

From a gameplay perspective - it has the same sort of setup; character sprites in a 3D world with rotatable camera, and semi-turn-based random battles. The battles use the same action points and combo system, but with way more customization options in your characters' abilities and such. As well as a neat new system, the "quips", which turns battle voice clips into a moddable system, where triggering them to play can cause various effects depending on what the quip is, from new attacks, to healing, to buffs, to other things.

All sounds very cool, right?

But it's not balanced at all. Fights are either laughably easy or punishingly difficult, and the quip system is woefully skewed towards a few really powerful ones that make you not ever want to take them off and experiment with anything else.

As for the story... well, it's a world that some time ago saw discrimination against beastfolk done away with, but in the ensuing generations, some vengeful beastfolk have risen up and become the dominant race in the world, treating the rest like cattle. In some cases literally, as early versions of the game script and the manga/anime tie-ins feature some beastfolk eating their human slaves after fattening them up.

The main characters start off trying to fight this system and bring some order to the world, and of course get caught up in wider and grander events, in true JRPG fashion.

The basic world setup could, if one didn't examine it too greatly, be read as the world of Xenogears a few generations later. But with important names changed for legal reasons, since this very much wasn't made at Square, natch.

But, notice how I mentioned "early versions of the script?" Yeah, it got revised late in the day, as higher ups decided they wanted to go for a younger target audience/lower rating for the game, and so they had to scrub a bunch of atrocities from the plot and massage some events, and not everything flows smoothly in the final edit. That and a lot of the budget & time that could have gone to polishing the game went instead to the aforementioned anime and manga adaptations and securing all the big names on the dev team. Oh and the game's full motion cutscenes. Had I not mentioned those?

Which is a shame, since, as I said, it's almost a really good game, and could have been a worthy sequel to Xenogears. As it stands, it still kinda works as one, it's just, a somewhat less impressive younger sibling sort of deal...

So I was playing this PlayStation Portable game called Fate/EXTRA (フェイト・エクストラ) which is a dungeon crawler RPG game that was developed by Type-Moon who also made Melty Blood and Imageepoch, the game was published by Marvelous Entertainment, Asks Games for the US version and Ghostlight for the PAL version, the game was released on July 22, 2010 in Japan, November 21, 2011 in the US, and May 4, 2012 for the PAL version. So I had this idea were Ginny, Bitsy, Buddy, and Sparks from SuperKitties and Koppa from Shiren the Wanderer also Klug and Sig from Puyo Puyo (ぷよぷよ), Phinny from Pupstruction, and Chronia from Crossbeats. REV. SUNRISE (クロスビーツ) meeting Hakuno Kishinami from Fate/Extra, mostly because I think it would be really interesting seeing Ginny, Bitsy, Buddy, Sparks, Koppa, Klug, Sig, Phinny, and Chronia meeting Hakuno Kishinami.

maybe this is an insane person thing to say but honestly i find way too much empathy for imageepoch. i feel like there's something genuinely tragic about a game developer who is trying so fucking hard but the only good game they ever released was literally the last one they ever made. their ceo literally walked out of the office and quit to become a truck driver. and they just. still finished the game. then went bankrupt before launch, and it turns out stella glow is fucking good because they put everything they had into it in a self-destructive last hurrah. and even then, that's not their legacy because fate/extra gets remade and everyone spends the entire cycle leading up to it shitting on how bad the gameplay was. i feel so bad for these guys.
