DS #4334: Nostalgia (USA)

[NostalgicMillennial]

awesome....does this play similar to Suikoden DS?..where the characters actually HIT the enemies??...

Yay! Has this been dumped a little early? Been looking forward to this for ages now. I do prefer the Japanese cover, as it's more nostalgic and the artwork's nicer, but how is the new one supposed to appeal to weaboos? I see no way in which it can more than the original one. Could someone explain this?

A) Anime characters
B) Anime screaming characters
C) They take up 70% of the front cover

And yeah, it got an early dump.

I'm honestly a bit sick about the entire "if you like anime, you're a weaboo" card. It's ridiculous and just childish to think people who like anime are Japanese obsessed fanboys. I don't even like anime, and even i'm sick of that kind of attitude. And how do you call someone who lives IN Japan a weaboo anyways?

Yeah, the boxart was better in Japan, but it has nothing to do with the fact that it's now anime styled. The art just isn't as well done. It's not even bad, just worse. But considering how gorgeous the art was in the Japanese version was, that's not saying much. My irritation are the US Final Fantasy games personally. They have really lovely (non anime) art in Japan, and then they are released here without any art at all, just a logo on blank space.

Finally, the boxart is a pretty pathetic thing to complain about anyways. This goes triple for people like us, who don't even buy games in their physical form. If you MUST complain though, here's a solution- obtain the Japanese box and put your US game in it. Instant ascetic profit.

I don't see how that makes it particularly weaboo oriented. The characters aren't "anime" characters, that's just the games artwork. It's the same in the game. Last I noticed, screaming was something all races do, not just the Japanese. And yeah, they're big on the front cover, so what?

IM DIEING TO KNOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh of course, if we leave out part of the url, but still keep it understandable, that's fine. I can't beleive no one's though of that before! It's not at all breaking the rules of GBAtemp, because it's not the full link. Good idea. Really good idea...

Maybe you could just give out the DNS, lol

Started playing this game, seems decent thus far.

A) I never implied that. I just said weaboos would love the cover art. There's a fair amount of people who are obsessed with anime and then become weaboos and there's a fair amount of people who like anime but don't have it influence their judgment over mechanics.
B) Usually things that weaboos enjoy Japanese youth does as well

Agreed. The US artwork for this game has too much dead space in it (for those of you who don't know, dead space is a term used for blank, open, and unwanted space) and I find the drawing style they used in the Japan cover art to be a lot more elegant than the US one. For FF boxart, I'm not a fan of FF, but at least add something other than dead space.

I'm just sayin' it's ugly. It's criticism. The game itself is excellent. It's like going to an art show and not critiquing the artist. We all have our opinions.

I ALWAYS find a brand-new release by searching the file name ( in this case, v-nstlga.zip ) on Google, it's not that hard.

quoting myself in this.

Anyway, about the boxart, it seems the Strategy Guide got the same treatment:

Hint 3: Use the game title as above.

You have no more hint coins left.

This game was intended as a homage to classic turn based RPG's of the 8/16 bit eras. Don't expect a hugely innovative story or gameplay. There are only a couple of features that set it apart- FFX esque grid ability system, and the airship battles ala Skies of Arcadia. It's a pretty standard classic style RPG otherwise. Although it excels at this fact.

And no there is no anti piracy it seems. Played for a bit on DSTT firmware (latest unofficial one, forgot the version name). No glitches/freezes/BSOD's so far.

Finally, i was claiming to the heaven for some new / non tactical rpg. KH don't count for me because i don't like the series, but now i can spend some time in grinding over and over n_n (i hope).

[Rayder]

Hmm...I only played the very beginning part......where the girl jumps on the ship and the cowboy dude falls into the water, then the opening credits start. Seems OK. Nice graphics anyway.

I don't know why RPG's don't interest me nowadays......I used to play them all the time back in the C64 days. I just can't get into them anymore. I guess I really did burn myself out on them.
