    If I had one major critique it's that the game is not balanced for the chain bonus and party member swapping mid-battle. The party member swapping you can ignore, but the timed attack chain bonus is pretty busted and it's kind of a shame because it's a cool feature. So hopefully they patch in a hard mode that is rebalanced for those two features and it'll add a good amount of challenge.

    As someone new to this game with the remake, I find the fanbase's Mallow erasure to be wild. Like, yea, Geno's design is cool and he's definitely the strongest party member, but Mallow has so many more moments where he's able to express his character and be a lovable fluffy boy! I found myself way more attached to him than Geno 😅

    It would be nice if they released an update that gave us two new difficulty settings.
    Classic mode, which remives chain bonuses, Triple Attacks, and the Perfect Timed Hit burst attack. Just make it feel exactly like the original.
    And then an Expert mode, which keeps the new features, but rebalances the game to accommodate them and make it more challenging

      Since we got a remake, I wouldn't mind at all if a sequel didn't have Mallow or Geno. Much like Paper Mario, each game deserves to have its own identity. But cameos would be cool. Or maybe make them into secret optional party members, like the one in Paper Mario.
      As a kid, I dreamed of a sequel where all 5 of the SMRPG characters were captured and had to be rescued by a group of unlikely heros. They were a Toad, a Bob-Bomb, a Chain Chomp, and a Star I think. In hindsight, Luigi would be a good choice for main character. Super Luigi RPG!! Yoshi could work, too.

  • @manguy01
    @manguy01 Год назад +3

    I love this remake. I have lots of little nerdy complaints - much like I do with the original, because I'm so familiar with it - but this is a dream come true. Very faithful remake.
    I agree that it's too easy and needs a hard mode. Magic was almost always worse than Attack in the original, and now it's even more pronounced. They fixed Bowser with his new weapon, and Mallow loves his new one, too. But Geno's sort of left without a role. His magic is the same as it's ever been and his attack is now outclassed by Bowser. With the swap mechanic, Geno's kinda' just become my Geno Boost dispenser and sits on the sidelines a lot. Peach is fun to use as a pocket healer. And Mallow is great to build glass cannon and swap in to nuke something with a weakness.

    Why do people like Geno so much again? I didn’t get it before playing the game, and I get it even less now that I have. The dude’s character is sooo flat and wooden (no pun intended). Like, Mallow is just so much better, and yet people shaft him for Geno for some reason.

    • @MarcusSanchez2525
      @MarcusSanchez2525 Год назад +4

      Because he is cool and an absolute power house, yeah they didn’t give much to his character but we honestly didn’t need it back then and they gave enough to where he was always mysterious. Honestly it’s his awesome spells that made him so popular I think. The fact he has a move that can one shot enemies also made him popular too.

    @gregmasciola3332 Год назад

    I'm at the Axem Rangers battle now, and so far I think it's a really faithful remake. With just a few tweaks, I think it would be perfect.
    1-make the splash damage and ability to swap out party members in battle exclusive to the breezy mode.
    2-Give us the option to turn off cut scenes like Mallow's introduction, Bowser breaking down Booster's door and Peach floating down from her tower. There's nothing wrong with them, I just feel like the game loses a little bit of its charm.
    3-I love that the environments are more full instead of just empty space at the edge, but there are a few areas where it's hard to tell where you can and can't go, so I would still put some kind of border, like a fence or bushes.

    About the script of the game, in case you’re curious, what you’ve said doesn’t apply to the game in other languages. You may know the game was only available in Japanese and English back in the days, and now it’s been translated into more languages which is a good thing.
    What’s interesting is that they’ve made many more changes to the script in the new languages - well at least in French - to bring it up to more modern standards.
    For example, the bazooka joke has been changed. The “Mushroom Kingdom” area has been changed into “Mushroom Castle” which makes sense because the Mushroom Kingdom is supposed to be the entire thing and not just a local area.
    Considering most French players (as well as German, Spanish, Italian ones, etc.) didn’t play the game at the time because it didn’t get a European release, they won’t notice any of these changes after all so I’d say it’s probably for the best!

      The seed and fertilizer were always meant to be super secrets, even back in the original game. One could argue that they were "guidebook sellers," or that they were supposed to be mysteries which you discovered by chance. The remake is relatively easy already so it doesn't stand out as much, but in the original, the Lazy Shells border on gamebreaking, especially when the armor shell is given to P.Toadstool/Peach, so it makes sense that they were something you might not figure out in a normal first playthrough (unless you had a guide of course)

  • @MLmaster135
    @MLmaster135 Год назад +3

    most deff one of the reasons I think the remake's a lot easier is primarily because of how much more we can block in this game compared to the snes version.
    the real reason you may remember smrpg being harder as a kid is most deff cuz
    in the snes smrpg, you cannot block Single Target magic at all, or specific stuff like croco's bomb toss, birdo's triple egg shot and the Dark Star magic. all of this can be blocked, even perfectly blocked, in the remake.
    this's the main reason why chars like geno or mallow were prone to dying easily back then, since anything not physical was not blockable.
    the fact you couldn't block any of that in the snes is what deff made it harder, but now you're theoretically safe provided you got da timings down. it really opens up new strats since all we have to worry about is AoE
    or very specifically, the "Bolt" spell, cuz that spell's way faster in the remake.
    I deff agree a hard mode would've been nice for this remake, cuz looking at how impressively low the non-rare enemy hps are,
    it makes me curious how a hard mode could work, aside the obvious buff all enemy and boss stats(especially hp)
    and/or letting bosses always get 2 moves per turn like da the mario rpg armageddon romhack.
    (post-game proves it with punchinello for example)
    but on the bright side I can see a lot of new strats opening up since all the qol really makes the remake amazing, especially with being able to block magic+fast travel.
    autosave's an absolute god-send and I'm curious if people will try to do a "perfect chain challenge" that involves only the bosses/mandatory battles, or another similar challenge of carrying a 999 chain from start of mushroom way to the end-game
    (I'm doing this currently and its very fun)
