I’ve been playing the DS version of this game and holy fuck, this game is fun as hell.
>mess around with the turn order system
>have Stocke use Fire Storm to stack up 1 row of enemies into another row
>have Gafka use Dohatsuten to stack them all onto one place for Aht to use Dancing Death on them 2-3 times
>have Stocke uppercut the fuckers in the air with an Air Assault and then finish them off with the big dick Dead Fencer
The battle system is the perfect mix of being both simple and deep enough to mess around with. Also, the story ain’t half bad either.

Glad you’re enjoying it, OP. Radiant Historia is one of the best RPGs on the system.
I miss when Atlus would make kick-ass original titles like this. Now it’s just nothing but endless Persona/Megaten milking.
Yeah, shit sucks. I’m all for some MegaTen here and there but some more original titles would be nice as well.
Sequel when?
The game is absolutely finished story wise
I mean more so in a spiritual successor sort of way, like with Final Fantasy. I just want to see more of that sweet ass grid system.
Stocke, Aht, and Raynie were the best team. You can’t prove me wrong on this.
>implying it wasn’t Stocke, Raynie, and Marco
Stocke and Raynie can deal some absolutely insane damage with the right set-up and Marco is insanely useful for buffs, debuffs, healing, and movement.
>Marco
fuck that coomer
I like how even Stocke was stunned by what just fucking happened. Manlet rage is a hell of a drug.
>Stocke repeatedly fucked her across numerous timelines
I've been playing this along with the game Nostalgia and I'm realizing how many great jrpgs the ds had. More games need airships
>that one ending where Stocke decides to just go “fuck it” and run away with Raynie to live with her as the world around them slowly starts to end
What a fucking lad.
>had the hots for him since the very beginning but managed to keep relationships professional until Stocke himself has snapped
Stocke is one of the best JRPG MCs out there.
>first thing he does when confronted with a magic device that can change the future is ask if he can use this to save Raynie and Marco
Should I go for the original or 3DS version?
original
Any reason in particular? Doesn't the 3DS versos have more content in it?
Ignore him, he's retarded. 3DS version is much better
This is one if the few JRPGs where I actually loved going into mob fights because of how fun the battle system was. I also loved how enemies weren’t immune to status effects and it’s an actual legitimate strategy to have them be poisoned.
It does. And voice acting..
There's very little reason not to do the 3DS version, unless you despise the new art style or the voice acting.
Thinking about picking this up, are there any major differences between the 3DS and the DS version besides the art style? I prefer the original look but if there are substantial improvements in the 3DS version I might still go for that instead.
>encounter one of those spider fuckers early on in the game while being underleveled
>can barely do damage to him but still keep holding on thanks to Raynie’s poison attacks
>just a constant repeat of healing and defending just to stay alive while whittling down his health little by little
That was one of the most intense moments in the game for me, Jesus.
FUCK MIDGETS
A lot of the "bad endings" just felt like joke endings with this one being the highlight.
What I like about Stocke is how, while he’s competent as hell, he isn’t perfect and actually fucks up quite a bit. He’s emotional, friendly, and an all-around cool guy, as well as a great motivator to boot.

I like how nearly every party member had their own way of messing you up in these endings. Raynie getting you to just give up and live a peaceful life with her until the desertification struck, Marco going insane, Aht imprisoning Stocke for his own good etc.
I feel you, man. I feel you.
You reminded me how many good games I forgot were even on the DS. Fuck it I'm getting an emulator.
Atlus make the only rpgs I enjoy but I adore them, specifically mainline smt. The other smt spinoffs are great too and I enjoyed etrian 4, should I play this game ?
