I always found it interesting how some boss fights in this game were just triggered by walking over some invisible line. Most RPGs show the boss on the map before engaging in the fight, but this game sometimes doesn’t do that which is sort of exciting as it surprises you suddenly!
@-Eclipse14-11 күн бұрын
I feel like a part of that is due to either map or data limitations, which can be excused. The first Phantasy Star did it the most, to my knowledge; apart from a few tell-tale signs on a few bosses, they'll show up out of nowhere as you run around a blind maze.

From what I understand, due to one of the many programming bugs in this game, the second and third character slots get targeted more often. Since a lot of players leave Maria in the back row, this often leads to Gus having far more HP than the other party members.

The jab against Dragon Quest was something introduced by the English localization team, or perhaps Nintendo censoring. The Japanese version the grave was for "リンク", Link, even in the Famicom version. I have this mental image of Nintendo being like "Oh no you don't take a shot at our character! You go bash on Dragon Quest instead!" Honestly, I like the little harmless localization changes. Like giving the dancer in Corneria a name. It gives personaliity to otherwise personality-less NPCs. I always liked the vendors in Dragon Warrior's English version where they want to sell you radishes or someone claiming they have no tomatoes today. I remember those lines almost as well as "But thou must". Now, let's get back to Teol! He gets critcal hit for 7 damage, gets paralyzed, and STILL dodges the next attack WHILE paralized. This guy is a freaking legend! In addition to multiple 1 HP KO's, he doesn't even let paralysis stop him! He's quickly becoming my favorite member of your party.
@-Eclipse14-Ай бұрын
Reading this actually clears a few holes, as I saw an incomplete fan translation of the WonderSwan Color version also give the grave as "Link", which seemed bizarre as (at the time) Square wasn't considering merging with Enix and the only connection the system had with Nintendo was Yokoi's initial designs. That said, I don't think it was censorship from NoA's part; I remember reading the first Dragon Quest was produced so overabundantly due to a Nintendo Power campaign, that it was literally given away at some point and the sequels had much lower printings. I could see the localizers jabbing it for that reason alone.

Teol stares down the arachnid, his dagger gleaming in the sunlight, not concerned with such details that he's in an underground cave. The arachnid bares its fangs, ready to deliver it's poionous strike. Unintimidated by the creature's display, Teol gently runs his finger along the blade. A blade several others, even Ogres, have already fallen to. A blade that has saved the lives of his friends many times. Raising his hand as Edge is about to step forward, Teol stops the young thief from acting. Knowing the situation must be dire if Teol wishes to handle this himself, Edge steps back and takes cover behind a nearby boulder. Teol marches to the Arachnid, lifts his knife and speaks out to the monster in a low voice. "You are already dead." The intensity of his attack broke all attempts to scale it, registering only a 1 on all known scales. But those who were there can attest that the impact was akin to a bomb exploding. The very foundation of the Marsh Cave trembled, causing Eathquakes to be felt as far north as the old castle, where the king who most definitely, aboslutely, probably, is not Astos, looked up in alarm as his pristine castle quickly began to buckle. Stones fell, roofs collased, and the reputable castle was from then on out in ruins. Back in the Marsh Cave, no trace remained of the Arachnid. His allies emerging from their hiding places behind solid boulders, cautiously rejoined Teol as he walked back to his place in the battle formation, spinning his dagger a few times before returning it to it's sheath. Another day, another victim, one who was already dead before Teol even took his first step, one who just didn't know it yet..

Likewise, I recall this game being the first one I ever had a controller in hands playing. Of course, I didn't do much and wouldn't beat it on my own for an age afterward, but it certainly shaped me in more ways than one. And yeah, I could agree on that, in a sense. Several open areas that could have had something, but only so much could be crammed into a cartridge. At least the GBA and PSP versions added extra content.

Teol takes out the last pirate. He summoned his inner Ogre slaying prowress to take down the pirate. "This is payback for criticaling me! You are already dead!" So, I have an explanation for the sharks appearing on your ship. They were the original Sharknadoes. Passing tornado plucked sharks out of the sea, a rare natural phenomina. The shark just happens to land on your deck as you passed. So the shark does what any confused and disoriented sea creature would do after being involuntarily proped through the stratosphere. It picks a fight to the death. The unique way upon which FF1 sharks board your boat would decades later inspire a series of cheesy movies. You said after this there's only 1 frustrating part of the game. I know EXACTLY which part you are talking about! And it involves Ice! If your next episode or 2 are going to be "grinding" episodes, you might consider pushing up the message rate so you can get through it faster.
