@GTV reviews the Cosmic Fantasy 1-2 Switch collection by Edia, provides examples of the poor English editing/localization work. It's much worse for CF1. Rated "D" for disappointment, finding that TurboGrafx CF2 is better & while CF1's the real draw, Edia screwed it up... |

Sarumaru, I'm sure you've heard this already, but you know you copy/pasted the same text into the charge shot and power slide descriptions? something to fix for v2
(btw I love that there's a super CD error message)

man, it's not often I hear someone advocating for repros around here.
(seriously, if you're gonna repro, get a rom or a burn, what's the point otherwise aside from giving a pirate some money)
I have a spare vasteel, but no manual and no map, just front cover and disc. Probably not what you want, but let me know if it's up your alley.

Saturn version is Tenshi wo Kurau 2, so it's a bit more of a traditional beat-em-up, where you aren't always on horseback - it's a bit more like Knights of the Round in that way? It's definitely an improvement over the first game, but still not super inspiring. Nice giant sprites though!

Regardless of whether you can read it (disclosure: I can), it's still every PCE game with dates and photos for $20. Frankly the info in it is pretty sparse anyway, though there are a few neat things from time to time. Just saying it's a bit less about the words and more about seeing a complete chronology of the system, including games you might not otherwise be browsing through. Worth it to me! (but again, I can get more out of it reading the thing)

PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Are Sapphire's Graphics overrated?
04/06/2018, 02:55 PM
Overrated is certainly not an objective term that could be applied to anything. And Sapphire is definitely an impressive game - it doesn't use absolutely every technique that the PCE can do, but no game does. I would say Sapphire is graphically impressive, and so are a bunch of other games
Legend of Xanadu 2 is a big one for me. Basically looks like an early PS1 game.

Just an update on this!! After a lot of searching, I managed to get a complete guide with disc for $35, thanks to:
a) searching for the title in Japanese only
b) asking every amazon seller if their copies were complete (the ones who answered weren't complete - why don't japanese amazon sellers ever answer questions!?)
c) finding it on a Japanese auction site and having a friend pick it up.
So yay! got the whole dang thing, now, and at about 1/3 the usual going price.

PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Is Psychic Storm a sequel to Cyber Core?
03/30/2018, 06:23 PM
I mean, you said it yourself, alfa system made or were involved with tons of games on the PCE, and a lot of the games on the PCE were shooters - the spriggan games were both called spriggan. Gate of Thunder and Lords of Thunder both had the name to tie them loosely together. psychic storm and kaidan 00 have no relationship whatsoever, not in theme, not in style, not in mechanics, not in name... it's just another shooter alpha system made, not a spiritual successor! Would you say Down Load is a spiritual successor to Cyber Core? Alfa System made both of those.
Alfa System made Cyber Core and Psychic Storm too, so if you believe successive shooters made by the same company are spiritual sequels, why did you not just say yes to the initial premise?

03/14/2018, 02:08 PM
Surprised how few people have this game! I was sure I'd come back in a few days and someone else would've beaten me to it.
Anyway, here's your answer: It's the "same" on a legit disc. I say "same" because track 25 is the intro music, which starts low and gets louder by design. If your version doesn't get louder, that's strange, but yeah, otherwise that's what it does. tracks 26 and up are nothing. I remember thinking this was weird back in the day because of course the game doesn't have 99 cd tracks, right? They just made the menu without taking into account how many tracks there were because it was easier. I even remember looking through them all to find something "hidden," but now I recognize they were just taking an easy road
Also there are 31 tracks on this disc, yes, but some is data, and some is cutscene/VO stuff, and they just didn't include that stuff in the "CD music" section, so you wind up with 25 tracks.
So I'm gonna say your rip is working as intended, unless somehow your track 25 doesn't get louder after the first 5 seconds, but that'd be a real weird specific thing.

there's absolutely no real reason to own anything, especially if it doesn't do anything extra for you.
the reason I own stuff is due to my particular brain - if I have everything available to me, I won't interact with any of it for long. This is just a thing I know about myself! I like being able to go and browse my collection like it's a game shop, look at the covers and manuals, and figure out what I want to play that way.
But for most people, honestly, there's no point in owning a bunch of physical objects that just take up space.
