Cosmic Fantasy 2
« on: January 18, 2011, 02:58:13 AM »
Hey

I've started this game, I'm a few hours in, at the city lost in time or whatever it is. Anyway I have a question about the battle system. The game is fun so far but the battles are way too often, it's like every 3 steps and there is another enemy. It's to the point of not being fun. Do the battles lessen in frequency as you go or is this what I have to expect the whole way? Anything like in Dragon Slayer where you get the glasses {?} that allow you to see your enemies later on?

The battle frequency doesn't really change much, though near the end, the number of enemies drops. It gets to the point where once everyone has weapons capable of damaging everything onscreen, you only ever get 2 enemies max. Ever. Kinda defeats the point. :D And there is nothing like that in the game... you just gotta deal with the frequency. It's annoying, but it's the way the game is played.

The encounter rate is what it is - some places are a bit worse than others, but it's a pain in the ass the whole game through.  Stick with it, though; it's worth the effort.

The game is really only worth playing through once because of the sheer annoyance of the battles.  As I played through it back in the day, I made sure to capture all of the cinema intermission cut scenes onto Super VHS videotape (which has more resolution than real life, hence the "Super") so that way I could enjoy them whenever without the annoyance of playing the game.  Not sure if I still have that tape.

If you did, that'd be super.

I did that too, but the tape is long gone.

But did you do it with Super VHS?  If not, then clearly you did not have as much enjoyment as I did as Super VHS has been scientifically proven to multiply enjoyment by a factor of 6.8.

but was the Duo outputting S-video? If not then the enjoyment factor stays flat.

Are all the cinemas on Youtube or should I get the visual collection?

Of course not. Virtually nothing put out s-video back then other than other s-video decks. They still made better recordings though.

The Enjoyment factor is multiplied by a thousand when said Super VHS tape is put into a bluray player.  It looks better than jesus.

I used to do a cable access show when I was younger and we used S-VHS for recording our shows. Man that brings back memories.
