Did anyone read the news about the game about Mozart's life after 1788? It's by a new company and a point of click game(a risky move if you ask me). The promotion video of the game was hilarious though. These years were really difficult for Mozart because of financial problems, but the video creates the image that Mozart had one of the most political, exciting years of his life. Also, playing Dies Irae as background music make it sound more apocalyptic than a normal point and click game. Oh well. I guess they just hope all the Eternal Sonata fans will buy it(or something). I cannot post a link because I only have a dutch source.
What are you currently playing? [video games]

God of War
Metal Gear Solid 3
Final Fantasy X and X2

the trailer of the game.
Oh, and today I spent 75 euro on an imported version of Mana Khemia and an artbook of the game. Yesterday I already made a wallpaper of my favourite character. I become so fanboyish when I really like a game.
75 Euro......

From that link I ended up watching MYST videos. XD Makes me want to play through the first 2 games! (I've finished Exile). I watched someone speed-play the original Myst.
... I can't believe I wasted hours on that game and it can technically be finished in under 4 minutes.
Lol! I randomly found my game a few days ago. Somebody gave it to me when I was... about seven years old... thinking I was smart enough to figure it out. I'm still confused about what to do to this day.Susan wrote:From that link I ended up watching MYST videos. XD Makes me want to play through the first 2 games! (I've finished Exile).

I'm probably just going to end up playing the DS version at some point. XP

75 euro for the game and an artbook. I imported the game from the US because it hasn't been released in Europe. The game itself was only 29 euro(US price, normally if you buy a rpg in the Netherlands it is between the 40-60 euro, depending on how popular the game is). The artbook was also a bit pricy, plus the shipping costs..
oh yeah xD, nice then xO
Mana Khemia... I'd buy it, but I have to buy a lot of stuff first

just 'bought' Final Fantasy V, VI and Chrono Trigger for the Super FAMICOM! ;D!!
I just stopped my current game of Chrono Trigger. I'm not really playing anything right now but ooh how I can't wait for Persona 4.
Well, in my honest opinion, Mana Khemia is everything that a rpg gamer can wish for if he/she started with these type of games somewhere in the NES or SNES era. I think I already talk way too much about this specific game, but I am just very happy that there are still companies who create this type of rpgs. Sadly they don't sell too well because they require a good set of brains, a lot of spare time and a preference for old-school graphics.
How much did you pay for those Super Famicom games? Some of them are really expensive nowadays. I don't think that would be the problem with those games(maybe Chrono Trigger), but I know that some of the 'rare' Snes games I own are worth a lot of money.
Persona is also one of those series I have to play, but simply don't have the time for it because there are so many other games I should play.

I'm intrigued. Any games in particular that it's similar to?Antaeus wrote:
The "big money" SNES RPGs like Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy, etc aren't worth anything in their Super Famicom incarnations. They were only rare in the West, it seems. I've got Chrono Trigger, FF6, and a bunch of other Square RPGs for Super Famicom and it didn't cost me much at all. In fact the only reason I have them is because they came free with a game case I bought XD
I think the rare games in Japan are mostly stuff no one's heard of here, and of course the limited stuff like contest prizes, Satellaview downloads, Nintendo Power exclusives, etc.

Had to quit PSU because my mom no longer wanted me using her credit card, it costs about 10 bucks a month. I have the money, but she wants to get all her cards cleaned up.
So I play Call of duty 4 now, and thats free online. Might want to get a new graphics card and another gig of ram though.

Hm, it's hard to say. Graphically, the game is quite similar to games such as Breath of Fire III. Only a bit more advanced because it is on the PS2. It still has 2d-sprites and the battle system is fully turn-based and also with 2d-sprites(very similar to a lot of the Snes rpgs, and some PS1 rpgs). However, the game isn't as 'old-school' in graphics as the Atelier Iris games. The game itself requires a lot of thinking, because you need to create items constantly through alchemy. Sometimes you need to work through entire chains of alchemy(every step is just like cooking, finding ingredients, fusing them and form an item out of it). The boss battles are very challenging, the game forces you to discover the strongest items through alchemy because otherwise you will simply not beat the bosses.
Besides that, you also spend a lot of time on the personal development between characters. The main story is even quite cliché, but that's a good thing(it makes me feel nostalgic), I really like it that I can spoil my favourite character, spend more time with my favourite character etc. To top all that, the soundtrack is great too. So to sum it up, I guess the graphics from Breath of Fire III, mixed with a 'Snes' turn-based battle sytem, a typical Gust alchemy system, plus difficulity, a Lufia-ish / Secret of Mana-ish soundtrack with modern sound equipment, and you have Mana Khemia.
Hm yes, I was actually just thinking about any Snes game, not specifically Famicom. For example, I still own a dutch version of Lufia II with the artbook/strategy guide. I have seen people online who asked a lot of money for that specific game. I don't know about Chrono Trigger, but I do remember that I couldn't find that game in regular stores, so I guess the game would be quite expensive nowadays.
Hm making a comparision with Japan is difficult, because the 'gaming scene' is so different there compared with Europe(and the US). it really depends on which genre of videogames. I am pretty sure(especially in the Snes era) there are some rpgs that are really unknown to Europeans. Then again, just try to promote a lesser-known fps game in any Asian country, those games are considered 'rare' over there when they are really popular in Europe.
