    48:18 Oh, how wrong you are about this one. The Saturn's graphical might for the time is looked back upon fondly by many, myself very much included. I also think this game mostly looks perfectly fine. I really don't understand what makes these battle models look any worse than what FFVII had going on.

    I'd just be happy if they remastered all 3 parts of SF3 and put them on Switch. If they did a SF4, I'd want it to NOT be an ARPG and instead be a topdown strategy game. It would sell well too, since Ogre Battle, Triangle Strategy, and Unicorn Overlord are all doing gangbusters.

    What's up with the Ranma 1/2 one? The sound is is missing for most of it (I assume for copyright reasons), but what I heard was English, which...would be weird if it's a commercial for one of the Ranma 1/2 Game Boy games that were only released in Japan.

  • @RPGFort

    The ad was for a Ranma 1/2 OVA called "Big Trouble in Nekonron China." It had Akane's English VA describing the plot. But it got blocked due to the song playing behind the dialog. There was also an entire Rayearth commercial that got fully deleted due to a claim by Pony Canyon.

    The Mega cd is great...not a curse at all. I have a lot of games for it. Many of these rpg -ish games have not released in Europe. Would like Popful Mail...which was not released either in this part of "the West". N64 moment? Pure disappointment? But Shining Force cd is great... Eye of the Beholder supporte the Mega Mouse, so...ehm, try that if you don't like the controller in the game.

    I completely disagree on the 3D point. Shining Force III maps are so much better than 2D Shining Force maps and the perspective of the way things look on III's map only works in 3D. Also you lose the sick terrain usage SFIII had going back to 2D.

    Always happy to see someone else talking about this series and especially this entry. Outside of handful, I keep stumbling on people making fun of the series more often. Looking back, I consider myself pretty fortunate to have played this game and not really knowing what I was getting into. The slow burn story doesn't ever seem to get the attention it needs to and I wish it were more popular than it is (or at least seems to be).

    Hi guys! I got an email from SoMoGa clarifying a few things: - This is a new port that is separate from the 2008 iPhone port. - This is a new translation as well. - The achievement bug only affects a small amount of players. - The game was not made in RPG Maker. They seemed very open to feedback, so I hope they continue to release updates for this title.

    I only recently finally got to experience scenario's 2 and 3 a couple years ago after having wanted to for pretty much my entire life. I always hated that only scenario 1 ever received a translation. I started trying to learn Japanese so I could play this game, lol. Scenario 1 had the best plot and difficulty curve, Scenario 2 had the best battles, and scenario 3 had the best characters. Such a shame it all kinda falls apart in Scenario 3 though, and I hated the twist with Domaric. It was so convoluted and derp. Still, I love the game and SF3 holds a special place in my heart. I hated choosing between Edmund and Produn. I want both! D: and I hated that each characters dialog was just "......" when you play as them. It made no sense and was annoying, especially since they had dialog in other scenarios. Strange choice making them silent protag's when they're not. And with the amount of effort you have to go through in Scenario 1 to keep General Rogan alive in Scenario 2, I was pissed he doesn't actually join you, and is just an AI controlled character. And the most hilarious part of the game is that literally every single person in the Republic is a traitor aside from Synbios's dad and Produn, how tf did their society function? XD
