The one thing I really remember from this game is Echidna, probably because it was the first time I saw a character with that style(ganguro?), and I still remember her fondly for purely superficial reasons.

We all gotta start somewhere.

The one good thing about Erhgeiz was the dungeon crawler mode.

[@Aboveup]

Yeah, that was a good concept. I should try that out again sometime.

[@johnpyro881]

I would like to see a remake especially if they fix the damn combat and that cheep ass carry the same health over to fight the boss with the full health

[@kathrena1213]

i want a kiwami or ishin treatment

[@eygeggs]

I didn’t even know this game existed until like last year.

[@Aboveup]

It's usually only brought up to show how Nomura just reused the main character design for Sora in Kingdom Hearts. I think Square would rather keep this game buried, and I can't blame them.

"ehrgeiz is a really bad fighting game" hey now! i liked it...i mean yes, it is bad. but it was on a demo disc for the PSX forever ago and i have weird nostalgia for it. emulated it recently and it was fun to go through once but the fighting system is anything but balanced. interesting to hear its DNA survived on the PS2 with this game. strange.

[@Holyhairyareola]

It didnt fade from me.. It came with my ps2 bundle lmao.

What the Hell are you talking about...bouncers take money from innocent club goers?! Yeah, it's called a cover charge to enter the club. Further, they aren't there for you. Bouncers exist to protect the club from violent drunks that love to start fights with people inside the club. They also exist to prevent minors from getting into places they do not belong. You might not like bouncers but you definitely do not want to go to a nightclub without them because that's when chaos ensues. Do you like your fellow party goers pissed, drunk, carrying guns, and looking for any excuse to kill someone? Because that's what you're asking for. Let me give you a bedtime story...back in 2002 I used to frequent underground raves all the time (Miami was good for that). Sometimes those events did not feature security and let me tell you it can get ugly very fast. I have seen violence on a scale you wouldn't believe. I have watched people trade shots inside one of these underground raves. A group of friends and I stopped two guys that were trying to rape a girl...one night, that was fun. I stopped going after that bit of fun. You may not like bouncers but they serve a purpose and if you're cool they usually will be to.

early nomura character designs are cringeworthy
