Diablo did the blood splatter in a much more “sophisticated” manner. Whenever you kill a living creature (or even an undead like a skeleton), their blood spills around like Wednesday Adams’ in the play with Pugsley from the first movie. One big thing I didn’t like about the graphics however (hence, in part, the 7): it’s excessively and uselessly gory. But Phase Shift, that makes the screen move all around, does looks like it hurts. Piercing Light, for example, just looks like ribbons hitting an enemy. Speaking of spells, they were OK they really looked much better even in Final Fantasy IV. You hit the enemy directly (and vice-versa) with your weapons, projectiles or spells and screen movement (since vibrating controls didn’t exist) makes you feel the pain. This makes strategy all the more important.īattles as such were also made well. Their perspective is logic a bowman will have a great advantage on hire ground and will be able to shoot far away, unless the target is directly behind a tree or hugging a wall. From forests to towns to ancient temples to even a train (although, for some reason, there is no gunpowder around), you will not find two battlefields alike. Speaking of battlefields, they were generally done very well and are very varied. When there are cutscenes there, their legs don’t even bend when they walk around/down obstacles. Also, the characters’ movements looks a little clumsy, especially in the battlefield. It becomes psychedelic at times and get annoying. It’s a nice touch compared to 16-bit game, but I found it rather distracting.
In the former (since the scene is usually pretty small), you always see a repetitive background that “floats” in order to make a 3D impression. You merely see a picture of the village or the overworld map and simply “teleport” from place to place.įortunately for your eyes, you spend most of your time in cutscenes or a battlefield. Although they have much more variety that Front Mission (on the SNES), graphics are still not as interesting at the Shining Force, where you could walk and explore every village. Otherwise, like most 32-bit tactical RPG, the game is rather static outside the battlefields. It’s like looking at stills from an anime. At the start of Chapter 3, when the bad guys form a very blood tyranny, you can see the shadows of people walking in line in chains with a little child watching the scene, intrigued. Nevertheless, they add a very nice touch to the game, showing the general overview of the adventures you will live. Of course, don’t expect the elaborate movies from FF VII they are limited to the intro of each chapters. But now that I’m playing the game with a “playing the game when it was first released”, I realize that this game is a hidden gem.Ĭreated in 1996, VH is one of the first (the first?) game to include CGI movies. So when I tried other titles like Vandal Hearts, I thought that the game was disappointing and worth forgetting. When I first got my PlayStation in 1997, I was of course drawn to the big titles like Final Fantasy VII and Breath of Fire III. *Sony, SCEA, and FromSoftware are not affiliated with this fan project.
