Well, the Brothers posted up a review of Anearth Fantasy Stories today, and while I have no real knowledge of this game, I really enjoyed reading this review.  They really seemed to give this RPG high marks.  Has anyone else played it before, and do you agree/disagree with this review?


This review does make me wish that this possible translation-into-English project come to fruition.

[soop]

Brilliant.  Just read a (great) review of 1941 that makes me want it even more.

As an aside, I keep most good browser tabs open, but I can't stand animated tab icons, so I always close TBD.  Other than that it's always enjoyable.

[Necromancer]

I played a bit of it (maybe an hour) when m1 first posted his guide, but I got distracted by something shiny and never got back to it.  I really want to play through it, though, especially now that I have a real copy.

As an aside, I keep most good browser tabs open, but I can't stand animated tab icons, so I always close TBD.

You can use adblock plus to keep the icon from loading at all.

I can't see it... I used it to block a gif, but apparantly not that one.

*edit* the Aeroblasters review is making me want to play it, and also progress.  I had a feeling of it being very difficult, but the way it's framed here - "you have to die to progress" makes me think of it in a different light.

Hell yes, AeroBlasters is worth it! I put a lot of pain into the Genny Air Buster and TG-16 AB...there are moments when I choke (bad habits die hard...you gotta learn to try new strategies).

Anyway, I encourage you to keep playing.

After reading that review I am putting it on my wishlist. What a gem! Hopefully in the next five to ten years we can get a translation. Nightwolve?

[King_Vidiot]

I wish the reviews were tagged/sortable by genre...with so many of them, it would be a big help for people trying to find pce ideas

[m1savage]

Yes! Been looking forward to the Anearth review for a while now and it couldn't have come at a better time. Here's hoping that the renewed interest in this game will lead to a translation soon which would make my guide unnecessary. Great review for a great game!

[ElSeven]

I periodically check TBD as the posted reviews are a great read.  I'm happy to see that they (finally!) reviewed AFS and gave it the high marks it deserves.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the translation comes to fruition so we can experience this game in english 

[shubibiman]

Anearth Fantasy Story is one of the greatest games on the PCE. I played through it 5 years ago and it was such an original experience. It's battle system somewhat reminded me of T-RPG and the story is much more interesting than many other RPGs'. Some puzzles were very difficult to get through too. It's definitely on par with Manji Maru.

Looks like you've been missing that Translation Compensation thread. It's been "green-lighted" by SamIAm and EsperKnighty.

Great idea!  I will do what I can later on after getting all of the reviews in the first post.
