Square Enix Secret of Evermore

Well,since the board has now expanded to Squaresoft discussion I though I would make this topic.


Who here played SoE?


This game was way underated,it was a great game.It was one of my first RPGs and I liked it alot.As its name suggests it played very much like Secret of Mana.(my favorite game)It just didnt have as much,oh well It was still good.


Thoughts/Opinions?

 

I don't remember the game very well, but I remember distinctly thinking that it was pretty shoddy. Just my opinion though, your milage may vary.

i thought that it was a good game...mind you its not as good as secret of mana. but yeah it was a really good game. i didin't like that fact that you could only get to LV.3 weapons. that was no fun. but i was ok that you don't have to temper them up. that made the begging a lot easier. well thats all i'll say.

 

I thought I would ask: Did anyone else have trouble with the Bazooka weapon,I could never equip it with specific ammo,it would always use the same thing.Anyone else have this problem?

While the game wasn't anywhere near the best, in my books, it was ok. Good enough that I tried to beat it 3 times. (First time: Cousin's copy, he saved over my file. Second time, glitch at the end, failed to see the ending. Third time: Success~!)

Anyway, it had it's moments, I'll admit, but it doesn't measure up to other games like it, such as Secret of Mana (Seiken Densetsu II). It's really just the result of Square America trying to make a game, I think.

Lesse, some old quotes to disagree with...

Not so, it's all timing. Remember that rat king thing in Ebon Keep? I hit it with over 30 Lances in a row before damage was displayed. It has more to do with spell timing, and the spell... er, alchemy you're using. Flash, for example, will hit numerous times as well, but Fireball only hits twice. (To the best of my memory)

Lance is the best at this, though. I seriously did chain 30 of them together at once. I think it did like, 300 damage at level 1, or something. I can't really remember now.

Not me. I had a glitch that let me have infinite ammo, though. I bought 30 cryo-blasts, and I never ran out. The amount never even went down! Needless to say, the bazooka was my favorite weapon. I mean, 500 damage to the end boss, at the price of being knocked out of the way of his attacks? Sign me up!

I'd have to say my favorite part was the Hall of Collosia. I don't know why, but that place always interested me. My least favorite was the vent system in Ivor Tower. It took me DAYS to figure out how to get through it. So annoying...

 

I played this game about once or twice. It was preety good. Something very fun at times, but definetly not something i would say is great. Thankfully i was given the choice between "buy" and "rent", i went for renting. It's an allright game, but not something i wouls spend money on to buy.

So, if there's any wondering, i vote for ok. Nothing more, nothing less....

Well, then, for the last part of the game, the bazooka and the robot dog tilt things very much in your favor. Further back, it's simply a matter of hit-and-run tactics. I suppose you already knew that though, eh?

But yeah, I hated when they could hit you over and over again, and you couldn't do anything about it.

 

Yeah, it reminded me of Secret of Mana. I didn't play Secret of Evermore much, but it was pretty good.

 

Yeah, Square pretty much copied Secret of Mana's engine for Secret of Evermore. But SoE was made by Sqaure America, not in Japan. And pretty much every game Square America has made has been lacklustre at best. SoE was the best of a bad lot, I think.

 

I recall trying out this game once, and uh...I'll just say 'twas alright. I didn't last long enough since I was tired when I tried it and the thought of playing it again would seem tedious.
