Dunno if this video got around much, but it's a demo/promo for Xanadu from 1993 (likely distributed on LD in that period) - it was re-released on DVD in 2003 on a special bonus disc that Falcom included with the Limited Edition box set of "Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim."

Bump, as per Nectarsis' request at the MGC.

Walkthrough WILL BE FINISHED, but I accidentally deleted my save with the turbo-switch on my Avenue Pad 6, so I've gotta re-grind the first two levels. Check back soon for an update!!

I'm looking forward to it!  I really want to play this game, but it's nearly impossible without a translation or guide thanks to the timing elements and such.

[jtucci31]

Woo, this is good news! I'm totally looking forward to this as well. I started this game briefly a little while ago but never got far. I'll be using your guide when the time comes

[EmperorIng]

Guides for this game are hard to come by - one of the few I found essentially told you to blindly talk to everyone because he didn't want to "spoil" the game by giving away the answers... 

I bought it because the ecstatic Duomazov review, but the language barrier is so extremely high that it's hard to do much of anything. I'd like to eventually try out the "apparently" more non-native-friendly Kaze no Densetsu: Xanadu II. Though in a short time I've become very wary of peoples' definitions of "low language barrier."

[Necromancer]

If all you have to do is talk to everyone, then that is a low language barrier.  The tough one's are the games that have obtuse puzzles or very specific tasks that must be completed before you can progress (like going to the dock on the lake at a certain time in Xanadu), where you're screwed if you can't read the instructions.  At least those can be passed with the help of a guide, though, unlike random order timed quizzes, where your only chance is blind luck.

[Black Tiger]

There is a debug mode which lets you play only the action stages, either individually or all in a row.

My LoXII guide is as detailed as can be, but I'm not sure if I've posted online the last revision I was working on which has maps drawn out.

[Dicer]

To have these in English is a dream of mine...maybe someday.

[blueraven]

I think a lot of folks on this forum would like to see the game in English. And I think we may be able to make it happen.

I did the LOX Debug mode on a Tiny 12" Funai CRT at the MGC '14 this past year, we spent some good time on it Saturday, and after my Duo popped the sound circuit we switched it over to nullity's Sony PVM (dude srsly thanks) and played all of the action stages. At one point, I was giving a demo to the folks from some other gaming (NESticle 64) clan, and I remember accidentally screaming "f*ck" every time I accidentally went to a cutscene, and would have to fill the time with some story about how it was the BEST YEAR EVAR. Because it was. MGC f*cking rocked, and they still loved the game, started freaking the f*ck out, and their toasters had nothing to compare.

I think TSA knocked my systems around on the plane flight and that was the reason they both went down for the count. The sound circuit repair failed on one unit, and the power on the other. They also stole my margarita mix, took my Swiss Army Knife, and left me a note telling me that they ripped apart my duffel bag and "double-checked" the 2 PCE Duo's in my bag because they were "electronics". Bastards.

Anyway, Next year I'm going to bring a scanline projector and broadcast the game on a wall. And hopefully I will have some storyline cliffs notes.

So, I've got the rig set up today on the Briefcase. It looks tight but saves like shit. I accidentally deleted all of the saves at the MGC this past year on teh Duo with the Turbo button on the AVE6 I used to set up the system. I have to use the "DEBUG CHEAT" on teh briefcase to get back to the place where I was at for the walkthrough. I know people sometimes freak the f*ck out over this and lose their shit, but this isn't a high score thing. The screenshots that you will see may display a generic gold or experience count as a result of this. I(ex. 1000000g, LVL 16) as opposed to some more complex number. I can't save. I apologize if this does not count as a 1cc. Resuming shortly.
