I actually don't have a Switch, but I thought this looked really cool after I first saw it, from the gameplay to the aesthetic.

You should just preorder from Best Buy or Target and pick it up when you wake up in the morning.

It's worth it to get a physical copy.

nice.

I don't think I even heard about the original, but I guess I wasn't really into RPGs when I was a kid.

I might pick up a Switch for BotW2, though.

The original never made it out of Japan. It was only released for the Super Famicom

well the original was a japanese only game so the only way to play it back in the day was through a fan translation
jrpgs didnt sell to well in the west back then so we missed out on a ton of really great classic jrpgs that thankfully all got fan translated

little tip in the kung fu chapter
out of the 3 students only train one of the 3
only the one that gets trained the most becomes the successor to the martial arts style and will be playable in the games final chapter so its not worth it to waste the stat boosts on the other 2
there are valid reasons for training any one of them as all have their own strengths

yun starts off the weakest of the 3 but has the best strength gains out of the 3 so he ends up with the highest attack making him a popular choice among players

samo has the best defense out of the 3

lei is the fastest of the 3 and her starting tecs are the only ones out of the 3 that are actually useful. the other 2 need to rely on what they learnt from the master but honestly even his tecs arent as good as her starting ones except for the final one. plus if you dont pick her there are no playable female characters in the final chapter so if you dont want an end game sausage fest then you gotta make her the successor

Not surprising, it was a good game when I played the fan translation, I doubt there would be a reason why this version would be worse.

Lei is the best character of the 3 students anyway, so always go with her. I think my final team was Cube as team leader, Lei, Sundown Kid, and Akira.

ive finished it a bunch of times
often when i play jrpgs i get burnt out towards the end so i take a short break. that short break lasts months
and by the time i get back to the game i feel like i forgot everything so i just restart it

its a vicious cycle that has kept me from finishing several games
live a live ive beaten everytime ive played it.
never got burnt out with it

treasure of the rudras ive been playing since i was 14 and only beat for the first time earlier this year

I pre-ordered it via Amazon but it won't arrive until tomorrow which is lame.

I had $38 in credit since I use their credit card, otherwise I'd have just picked it up in a store after work today.

Hehe yeah. You can get one of two powerful swords by either killing everybody or killing nobody, and both routes are complicated in their own way.

yeah if you go the kill no one route you need to level grind at the ghost section because they respawn and dont count towards your kill count so its like the only viable way to level up in a kill no one run

This.

Not sure if I'll be able to beat it in time before Xenoblade 3. Might wait to buy it until later on.

My mentor is Garrett the Sneak-Thief, so of course I'm going no-kill.

I did get some levels out of the clockwork stuff in the attics.

I am enjoying the game so far. I completed the Wrestler chapter so far, and started the Western afterward. I went into it expecting just a translation with the same game, and was surprised to see the new visuals and voice acting.

each chapter varies
like the wild west chapter can be beaten in like 12 minutes
some of the longer chapters can be a couple hours or 3 hours
the final chapter will take the longest

snes era jrpgs tend to take between 20 to 30 hours to beat
