Eien no Aselia

[Haba]

As far as I know, no. The dragons are best saved for later play throughs really, since the ether they'd give isn't necessary on first play - you can easily max out all of your units even without doing them (presuming that you ace a few missions).

I broke all mana crystals, demolished every building, SS'ed every mission except one but still I didn't have enough mana to all units. That's why I wanted that dragon so badly. I actually had slain every dragon except that one. It is so much more powerful than the others that I couldn't even tank for one round. If its Support Skill wasn't so cheesy maybe I could beat it with Revive. WTF 2000 dmg, -Action, and used at Start Support Phase.

Please retardo... there's enough of weeaboo faggotry already.

Oh, hardcore PC games taking too much space from your precious TWitcher threads, amirite?

Sorry, no potato.

You bring shame to Codex, Suchy. There is much to ridicule in the products of Japan, but one does not simply shout "weaboo" and call that hate. True hate is based on information. Only when you *know* the subject can you truly hate.

So yes, like many XUSE games, despite it's trappings it actually has an actual game underneath. For some odd reason the isolated island of Nippon seems to one of the few places on earth where near undisturbed offsprings of so called "old school" gaming can still be found. Kinda like what this thread was about,

If you'd actually bothered reading my original post, you'd know this.


Now accept the delicious taint and give way to the decline:

Go play this: CHAOS;HEAD
Or you might try Touhou. Touhou is quite hardcore.

Or if you'd like something lighthearted you might try game from where are these lines:

... and have fun.

Mike YOU BASTARD.

 

[Suchy]

No way. I'm not going to play anything with the slightest tint of desu in it. I refuste to know the subject.
I mean:

Niggas, please...



This is a hardcore PC game:

 

[Johannes]

Yeah, we get it. Hardcore is about graphics. Thanks for your valuable input.

 

[Suchy]

Not graphics.
Style.

 

[Raghar]

This has style. (Look at these petals, birds, watercolors, girl, gun.)

What you posted is simply an old game.

 

[Johannes]

It might have style but it doesn't have the HARDCORE style.

 

[Delirius]

Eien no Asalia is a piece of shit but the guy who mentioned Chaos;Head was right - C;H is a kickass VN.

 

[Blasterhead]

Made the mistake of giving this a go. I'm a few battles in, but pulling out now.

This is more VN than RPG or tactical strategy. And the VN bits are terrible. Really.

The combat is not bad, but not worth the pain and crippling shame the story and characters are likely to induce.

And as said, the art direction is a bit shit. (even by desu standards)

Rance is better in every way.

More like a balance of VN and gameplay, or just gameplay, you can fast-forward the dialogs you know. You can bear Rance but not this? Rance is nothing but long winded anime sex scenes mixed with cheap humors that are not even funny.

Eien no Aselia has better combat than Rance. No contest. You'll appreciate the combat system a lot more if you try to get SS rating. It requires you to finish a mission within a limited time frame thus forces you to manage your squads and optimize your tactics properly.

This is a hardcore PC game

Hardcore has different meaning in different genre. In RPG hardcore means trial-and-error, gigantic mazes, pitfalls, black rooms with conveyor belts, teleporters, frequent status ailments, instant death etc. In the strategy genre hardcore means a requirement for precise planning and in-depth problem solving. Uncertainty like trial-and-error and instant death is not exactly desired. In this sense Eien no Aeslia IS hardcore, especially if you skip the VN it has nothing except battles follow with battles.

And who cares about hardcore anyway.
