If you're not keen on like, DQ, Earthbound, OG FF level stuff you may get bored

I played FF1 and 2 last year, so I'm ok with bare bones stuff

But 2 has the tear system and Ray and 2 endings (of which the bad end is the better one)

Fusion, individual character arcs, etc

BoF from 2 onwards deals with grey area moral questions very well

It seems that the latest BoF didn't get localized

6 is mobage

Did 2 get crappy translation or something? lol

Yes

1 had a Squaresoft translation, which meant it went through a team with experience. 2 was where Capcom tried to cut out the middleman and did *not* succeed

Which sucks because of the two 2 definitely has the better narrative and characters

There's even a sort of proto relationship system where the emotional state/trust level of your party members are shown by a gem on the dialogue window when you speak with them

That's cool. Speaking of Earthbound and translations, I need to play Mother 3

None of the BoF games are on the SNES Classic, right?

I can't seem to remember what's on my own emulator box lol

I dont think so, but they are on eshop

1 & 2

3 is PS1/PSP/Vita

I know 1 is at least PS1 and Vita via classics

Word. I've recently dug my Vita up from the grave

Neat

The only issue with PSP/Vita 3 is that they had to kill the Ultraman reference (partially)

One of the bosses had ultraman colours and one of his attacks. He still has the attack but they made him brown to avoid legal troubles

Haha

But to be honest you could emulate them all just fine on any newish smartphone if you were so inclined

Would also let you cheese the annoying bits in 3

I'm a bit of a boyscout and buy all my games

I already own retail copies of all 3

I'm gonna look around in the vita store

I emulate 3 anyway

I will absolutely emulate a game I can't buy though. Looking at you OG Valkyrie Profile

I've not run into that situation yet

I've bought ntsc-j discs several times

I may have to do something of the sort for one of the Persona 2s

I vaguely recall learning one of the psn versions is good, while the other is bad

Dunno which is which, between IS and EP

If I wasn't so unmotivated I'd continue learning japanese and just play the original versions and wouldn't have any issue at all lol

It's split

Ps1 has one half and PSP has the other

After being in a normie politics group on Facebook, I've come up with a universal healthcare solution that will please everyone because it doesn't cost anything, so no purchase or taxation is required
