Nop. But it fixes all the problems from the previous release, so it's all good.

Except it adds a "Xenophobia" screen in the beginning ... urgh.

Hey, I kinda like the "Xenophobia" screen. Takes me back to the good old days of Echelon splash screens on DC games.

If I didn't post this already, I can confirm it works with R4 v1.18. I've played through the first mission and turned it on and off multiple times to make sure it doesn't do a "save corruption" type of AP.

Anyway, my impressions:

- Obviously very, very online based. The classes are definitely meant to work together. Some of them, like a melee type, can usually handle themselves fine but ranged classes need a melee one to tank for them. Tank is Guild Wars lingo for somebody to take the damage, FYI.
- Sold ARPG aspects. I would have loved a more expansive (if there is one, I can't really tell) combo system.
- Camera annoys me though. It constantly needs to be reset. I haven't checked any options to see if you can change this, though.

Overall, it's alright for me, but I haven't tried the online. That's probably a major factor for this game.

Tried Xenophobia's version with the patch and everything, and It does not work with AK2. I get the xenophobia screen,then I press A, and the screen fades a bit, then freezes. I have the latest version of AKAIO too, if that helps.

Because the non patched version didn't work for me either.
I have AKAIO version 1.5, and bahamut's and xeno's files didn't work.

I'll try re-dling and extracting it, see if something got messed up.

Xdelta is the patching method and its not limited to windows, you'll just have to manually run it. Hex changes are too many to list.
Well after much banging of my head on the wall, I've decided that determining how to do this on a mac is beyond me for the moment (crossover and macports seem to be failing me). Oh well, its a work computer so I can't complain too much about the OS, guess I'll just have to grin and bear it until I make the trip home.

Even patched it still doesn't work on my supercard minisd. After the xenophobia screen it goes to 2 blank white screens. I guess it's time to upgrade.

I can confirm that the Bahamut version works with the EDGE on 1.50 firmware. I don't know about the Xenophobia one, since that wasn't on the romsite I use.

It's a charming game, and the only thing I'm having trouble with is the camera angle. I'm actually a bit bad with ARPGs, so I'm assuming that it's easy for most other people.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.

    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
