    Did somebody say, Aliance Alive?!
    But I. All seriousness, I really love this game.

    I'll be sure too pick this up; I remember loving the free demo on the 3DS which I think is still available, for those who are on the fence about the game and have a 3DS around give it a go.

    I am definitely picking this up,for sure. I haven't gotten to play this on 3DS yet, but it's been on my radar since that original version wa announced. It really seems to capture the feel of the classic PSone/PS2 RPGs that I love so much

      yeah, and it sounds like it won't be as overly easy as the ps1 ff games, which is my main gripe with them.

    Well this video definitely sold me on the game! I wasn't so sure as from what little I've seen, nothing really stood out to me, but the bits of dialogue shown and the combat system got me interested.

    I did NOT know this was getting a remaster. How interesting. I was literally thinking last night how I need to go back to finish it on the 3DS. But now that I know it’s getting a remaster, it’s probably better to wait.

    • @JRPGJungle

      Alliance Alive already has a remaster (The Legend of Legacy also just got announced to be getting one too next year), it’s out now :) (if you meant Legend though, yes, probably better to wait :))

    Nice! Glad to hear it turned out so well; I know I was impressed with it's HD transition from the moment the first trailer dropped - I'm totally in line with your thinking there. That aesthetic works really nicely on PS4, especially when there are similar games like Oninaki and Lost Sphear built from the ground up for modern consoles/PC that also go for a similar retro-influenced-without-using-pixels look. My backlog is embarrassing at this point (I really have been doing a terrible job of actually finishing off the RPGs I've picked up this year), but I'll probably nab this at some point soon anyway (though I also really wanna pick up the PS4 version of Legrand Legacy that just came out).... I just really gotta finish up something that I've already started earlier this year :P

    • @JRPGJungle
      @JRPGJungle  4 роки тому +1

      Haha can understand being behind, I realised I didn't finish any games in September while I was playing Alliance which is weird for me! :p but yes, it did remind me of games like Oninaki in that sense too, I think it's a good trend :) hope you enjoy it if you try it ^__^

    I'm trying to get back into single player RPGs again and I did enjoy this but fell off for some reason. I think I was kind of lost perhaps...it was on that hang glider sort of part. Up in the mountains I think...
    But good review makes me want to see further as I did enjoy the skills / special attacks in the combat and how you earned them somewhat frequently. I'll keep my eye open for more suggestions.

    I've played/enjoyed/finished the 3DS version. I've also played Legend of Legacy, but haven't finished it yet. In some ways, Alliance Alive's system feels like an improved version of the system used in Legend of Legacy.
    As for the HD version? I do want to get it, but I also have other games to get. Funny thing is quite a few of them are going to be double dips if I get them. So it's not going to be during the month of release sadly. Maybe next year? Regardless it's good the game will be on more systems now.
    Finally, the main thing going for the 3DS version is how it uses the 2nd Screen. Ie the usual stuff you'd expect including reducing clutter. Which is one of my favorite used of the 2nd screen. Granted for most people the benefits of the 2nd screen aren't going to be enough incentive to play a version on a lower res system.

    is it ok to manage the stats of the characters even though there are no levels? how can you know if you are over/underlevelled? nice channel btw

    • @JRPGJungle
      @JRPGJungle  4 роки тому +1

      The way I knew was mostly by battle/basically trial and error lol it's a little hard to know before admittedly, but it kind of makes it fun to work out if skill levels need to be higher from that battle itself rather than numbers :3

    • @GuillermoLC
      @GuillermoLC 3 роки тому

      In the end I dropped the game after 15h or so. In general it felt clunky, I found moving across the map and the dungeons rather boring and even in the battles, there are many skills and combinations available but I always ended up using the same 2 skills and the same party members. But well it's ok, now I am playing Atelier Ryza and making another path in Fire Emblem 3H. I saw your other videos about Atelier and it's a series I want to know more about.

      Looks like it's $49.99, which I personally think is pretty reasonable. It was 30 hours for me and there were still enough things I could do with character development and side stuff that for me it was worth it, especially since I didn't play it on 3DS :3 to each their own of course, especially if double-dipping :3 hope that helps!
