it also had one of the most memorable box art for any snes game.

I rented and somehow glitched the game so badly it messed up. It was during that fight with the two puppets. I used a bunch of alchemy and something happened where it bought up the save screen in the middle of combat. It confused me so I saved in a spot I wasn't used just to see what it would do. The game reset, and from then on would never go from the title screen to the save game menu. Returned it early and never said anything.

glorious mode 7

In USA, the game takes place in "Podunk".
In Germany, they changed it to "Grossostheim", which is where Square did their localizations.

Those guys' localizations (for other games too, see SoM) were all hilaribad.

This is one of my favorite SNES games. I've played it many times. It's simply wonderful.

It's a shame it uses an updated version of the buggy-as-fuck engine that Secret of Mana was built on, but the game acquits itself with honor.

>>154321240
>localization

>everomore


umm... this game wasnt localized or translated into english, it was made in ENGLISH from teh start.

It plays exactly like Secret of Mana but it's way more interesting.
The industry needs more games like this.

>>154321240
But Podunk is an awesome name. It's synonymous with Bumfuck.

The whole game has a B-movie tongue-in-cheek feel that's really consistent and awesome.

I never played the German version of course, so if that's as bad as you say, then that makes me sad. The English version was perfection.

>>154321357
Yes. But then it was changed from English into everything else.

...I wonder if they even released it in Japan.

it also has the best main character that square ever produced.

>>154321664
no, they never released it in japan.

if they did, it prolly wouldve been called seiken denetsu USA: Evermore.

This game was hard as balls

his best friend was a shapeshifting dog, fought various horrific demons and monster with a human femur, devil may care attitude and had an endless love for B-movies.

he is the most interesting hero square ever produced. i wish this was on the wii VC already...

I still remember the villagers nearly killing me for bugging the goats.

I never even played the game but I fucking know that box art from ten billion light years away. Wish I had picked it up back in the day now.

Anyone hear about Circle of Mana? Seems Square is making it as the new entry.

Same. I saw it at the video store a thousand times, but for reason never rented it.

this

i actually just got this game a few months ago played it recently.

i never got this when it came out. but i never forgot the cover. the cover for this game is pure iconic. when i bought this, i made a point to buy it in perfect condition with the box.

did anyone ever know the meaning of the secret of evermore? (the message that plays 30~ish minutes after you kill carltron?)

>>154320712
Not only have I played it and finished it but I also had the console bug where after getting the flying ship and landing I got stuck in a previous zone and had to delete the save and start over from the beginning.

Welp, OP, I'm downloading it now, you can really pitch a game.

For some reason I can't place, I seem to remember there being a lot of hate for Evermore. Not from me, of course, and apparently not from the people in this thread. Great game.

Just my opinion, but I feel it definitely beats Secret of Mana on most levels. Dat fucking dog, man. I flipped my shit as a kid when my dog became a pink poodle in medieval-land.

>>154324421
From people who wanted Seiken Densetsu 3 instead.

Shut up you chucklefuck.

And fuck that swamp snake thing, shit was hard as balls, to this day I still don't know If I was supposed to fight it at that point in the game, it took me a lot of time to kill it.

So /v/, what is it?

WRPG or JRPG

its why it is so awesome. like earthbound, darksouls.

>>154323262
It'll be an iOS game.
>>154324883
It's a console-style action RPG.

i found DD to be intense;y mediocre. decent visuals and style though.

>>154325243
It was fun for a good 6 playthroughs for me. So...roughly 180 hours.

Don't bother with any DLC if you get it though, all the DLC is shite.

>>154324653
Needs better multiplayer.

Though Secret of Mana is made a gigantic joke by having the Sprite spam magic out of his ring. Whoever plays the hero is usually left waiting for two minutes for spell animations to finish and his attacks to charge all the way up.

They need to make more oldschool overhead 2D games like this

>mfw I found this game among others in my attic

I didn't see them for over 12 years. I feel kind of happy. However my SNES and many other games are still missing, damn.

>>154326046
The SNES was a lot like the PS2 in that there's an incredible amount of both excellent and obscure games for it.
When will we have a console like that again?

>>154324883
neither the term wRPG nor jRPG existed before 2000. It's just "RPG."

If you really want to be technical, people called this kind of game Adventure back then.

>>154325895
maybe because the forest maze was bullshit.

Isn't it just a Secret of Mana ripoff?
I played the first level and got bored.

>>154326135
>people called this kind of game Adventure back then.
Nope, when this came out adventure games was a thriving genre. They were called action rpgs.

>>154326186

>>154326131
prolly never again... but if i had to reach, id say the ipad/mobile devices are like that now.

fact is games cost a fortune to make now. when games are so expensive to make, publishers are less likely to make bold and experimental games like evermore here.

so everyone plays it safe, bland and tasteless.

>>154326151
if I remember right, I dropped it when I was in the jungle village or something
Or was it in the boss near the volcano?
I should pick it up again sometime

sucky PAL box art.

What's this shit in the creepypasta article about The Noises Coming From Inside Children?
I can't find much info about it.
>>154326425
Well, I guess you could argue the DS is like that.

I think it's better than SD3 and am really glad we got it. I messed around with the early part of Antiqua for days to figure out the optimal combination of trades and actions that would give me every single stat-boosting key item, taking into account the ones you could get from unexpected places later in the game during brief windows. I even went through the ROM one day to find the locations of the skillup tables, and made some Game Genie codes to use on my physical copy of the game that would make the levitation alchemy level up with a single use at all levels, just so I could have all my alchemy maxed out.

However, no matter how many hours I tried I never found the Sting formula.

How the shit was I supposed to figure this out as a kid? You only had a certain amount of time to trade and fetch everything.

>>154321240

The german translation still had the B-movie-feel in my opinion. Though some of the lines were really weird and cheesy. But I wouldn't say it was a bad translation.

Also, Großostheim is the seat of Nintendo of Europe. Not just some place where Square did it's localisation.

>>154326717

thats prolly more acurate. yeah.
