RGT Nostaliga Society #2 Nominations

[dem6n dem6n]

With the middle of the month arriving, I figured it'd be best if we start voting for the second game now! This gives us two weeks and two days to find out which game we're going to play next month.

For those unaware as to what Nostalgia Society is, see this thread here: https://retrogametalk.com/threads/rgt-nostalgia-society-1-parasite-eve.10157/

I nomnate Koudelka or Vagrant Story.

 

[Viviana Santos]

Vagrant Story SWEEP!!!!

 

[Stingy Perry Stingy Perry]

I know Vagrant Story will but I want to nominate Grandia for the Saturn or the PS1.

Grandia is awesome! Would love to run through Grandia. I have the remaster on Steam but never finished it. I got to some kind of a jungle area and just stopped.

 

[Nebulon_Galaxy]

Gradius 3 arcade edition. Let the mayhem and suffer begin!

 

[ObscureJigglypuff]

Vagrant Story or Kartia.

 

[Yousef Yousef]

I’d nominate Rayman. All of us need to suffer.

 

[Evaccaneer Doom]

I'm gonna nominate Phantasy Star IV, Shin Megami Tensei II, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, or Final Fantasy IV
Probably won't participate myself because I'm a jack of all trades, master of none.
They're also the tamer options, because otherwise I'd suggest Ketsui

Kartia.

Wait there's ACTUALLY a JRPG with solely Amano art, how did I miss this?!

 

[Nasty]

Far be it from me to tell other people how to play their video games but I'd only play Koudelka if I were to go for Shadow Hearts right after haha

At least with Vagrant Story you know you have a robust, well-made game.

Happy birthday?

Technically not for 3 more hours, but thank you very much

Great candidates so far

 

[fake-chan]

I vote the SFC version of Mega Man & Bass.

 

[dem6n dem6n]

I vote the SFC version of Mega Man & Bass.

How do you pronounce Bass, "-ass" or "-ace?"

Like the instrument.

 

[moonbits]

Vagrant Story, we already played a Horror RPG. Let's switch it up.

Also I was thinking we could also rotate generations?
Or like go
PS1 -> Saturn -> N64
then
Dreamcast -> PS2 -> Gamecube

but I'm fine staying in one gen for the sake of accessibility.

Spoiler

would want to avoid long games if possible

 

[Trillid Tetraoxide]

I'll definitely join this party next month. But if this month's game is an RPG, wouldn't it be better to choose a new game from a different platform and genre?

 

[ThatOneLum ThatOneLum]

Part of me wants to vote Vagrant Story because I actually own that one, but I also agree with @Tetro that it might be more interesting to pick a platform/genre that isn't the exact same as the one we just did last month.

Also, once we've got a handful of nominations, we might want to actually do a poll and see which one of the nominated games is preferred by the majority of participants.

 

[Evaccaneer Doom]

Like the instrument.

All about that Bass, WITH Treble

If I had a nickel every time somebody told me this exact joke, I'd have enough to hire an assassin who kills people for making unfunny jokes.

All about that Bass, WITH Treble

I had such a hard time convincing my kid brother it wasn't pronounced like the fish when we were kids.

"Why do you keep saying his name like that?"
"Because thats how you say it. Its a music thing"
"But its spelled Bass"
"Bro, his dog's name is Treble!"
"Whats that?"
"I dont know. Its a music thing!"

I mean, MM8 straight up pronounced it like the fish, so I can't exactly blame any kids exposed to that unfortunate voice work.
