Is nigga playing the "fan translation" created by a guy that didn't know Japanese and just wrote the plot the way he thought it was?

the 90s jrpg and anime experience

Reminds me that I used to play a ROM of some JRPG for the SNES that was entirely in Japanese, where I just figured out that if I picked the right choice the characters did a transformation or special move and beat the enemy. It was some kind of turn-based diagonal isometric grid thingie set in the real world (or close enough to that) where one of the first levels was where the house of one of the characters gets invaded by monsters and you gotta fight them off. Never learned the real name of that one, it was just labeled "animated story" or something.

This is also how I bungled my way through the SNES version of Ultima 6, where I often managed to get 6 party members and either ran out of supplies, got lost in the dark or ran into a bunch of demons and died, then got frustrated and gave up until I tried again the next day.

Good times.

It reminds me of my early days playing Exile (the spiderweb game) as a kid who didn't even knew a lick of english. All I knew were the sounds it made at startup: "whooosh! aaarrrh!". I liked exploring the world though. I never knew why my characters kept dying.

Sounds like a regular jp -> en localisation.

I've recently watched a good video showcasing the problem of localizers doing whatever the hell they want including wokeness, fixing "sexist" jokes, rewriting the text etc.

Thanks, but that was not it. It was a bit more modern Japan looking (at least the initial level) and also a bit more zoomed in.

If you are still interested in the game, maybe you can find it in this video:

I found it, thanks! As it turns out, the game I was looking for was...

The fuckin' Tenchi Muyo RPG.

I don't even KNOW that anime. Sure I've seen the name before, and apparently it's some prime nostalgic coomer bait, but that's about it.

 

[Cat Headed Eagle]

Tenchi Muyo isn't that much of a coom anime, it precedes those times where harem anime got really pervy with their shit. I watched it as a kid and it was good fun.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

I was thinking of the Sailor Moon RPG because you could be misremembering "Another Story" as "Animated story" and it starts kind of the same way. The soundtrack is strangely creepy, feels like a murder is always about to happen.

Ebert single-handedly made game devs so insecure they turned their games into expensive, bloated glorified movies.
What a mad lad.

 

[NecroLord]

I'll take a good video game over any modern movie any day.

I'd take the ET video game over most of the movies Hollywood's cranking out these days.

I vaguely remember playing that game back in the day...

I wish someone had told this to Robert Ebert:

Playing a video game is no more art than watching a movie. Ebert is conflating is how the audience experiences the medium with the medium itself. Creating a video game is as much an art as creating a movie.

Ebert's whole argument was "if you can win it, then it's not art." Chess is not an art. Football is not an art. OK. But the workmanship of a chess set can be art. The architecture of a football stadium can be art.

Someone once told him to play some video game--I think it was Flower. You can't win at Flower, so according to Ebert's argument, Flower can be art. He dismissed the idea entirely and mocked it: "Who decides who wins at growing a flower?" And he missed the point entirely. No one decides the right way to play. No one decides when you've won. Flower is art.

Ebert didn't care about dialog with his audience. He didn't want to learn. He was a curmudgeonly old asshole who late in life found some drip of relevance by pissing some people off, and he milked it as long as he could.

I don't pay attention to movie or game critics.
Neither should you.

Ebert actually liked one game, Cosmology of Kyoto, which he considered the only video game worthy of being considered art.

Ironically the existence of one exception completely disproves his theory that games can't be art. After all, he himself is able to identify one game that is.

Probably because Roberta is actually a skilled designer and doesn't have to coast on the fact that she has ovaries.
