Title: Opoona
Post by: Lilgrafx on August 15, 2012, 06:09:15 PM
Has anyone here play it? I was reminded of it after hearing this . From the Battle system to the game world it's all very unique and memorable. Just wanted to hear your guy thoughts on it. think I'll revisit it soon.

I beat this game some years ago. For the most part, I like it. It takes a very different approach from most RPGs by focusing on "community" aspects, but the RPG elements themselves are rather bland. Still, it has a very cool space setting and soothing Dreamcast-esque music accompanied by simple, cheery visuals. I have a feeling this game is going to be the next "Earthbound" to collectors in a few years, in part due to the zonky dialogue.

I agree, the fact that this game sold poorly will help it obtain Earthbound status. As for the dialogue it can be pretty funny, one of the characters just randomly has a name change from Tron to Trog.
