I strongly believe this set needs a rescore. The dev has been quite stingy with points.
alexbubble 17 Dec 2020 00:03
Not just a rescore, burn the no saving achievements to the ground.
alexbubble 17 Dec 2020 00:03
It may be one thing if you're playing on PC, but I like to play my RPGs on Retroarch mobile, which has a tendency to crash if I either have the app in the background for too long, or even if I just turn the screen off for too long.
alexbubble 17 Dec 2020 00:04
I'd love to play this game, but I want cheevos, and I doubt that I'd get that far if I tried to play this on PC, so I guess I'll just have to wait.
Kinglink 20 Oct 2021 09:35
Rescoring is always good, but Just because your system crashes doesn't mean the no save should be removed.
tinycyan 9 Feb 2022 23:08
i think they should fix achievement names here they arent helpful
Numberman 19 Feb 2022 13:55
Nice, I can finally play this gem with purpose.

Shoutouts to the madlad who rewrote the entire set

Mastered! I wish I hadn't known the twist before playing this game, but that's how I got to know it in the first place... Still had fun with the game, and it was a solid set. I only didn't have fun with a few of the "no saving" achievements and King Mammoth is by far the worst bonus boss, but other than that it was fine.

This was a very good and comprehensive set that really highlighted all the easter eggs, but the no saving cheevs killed a lot of the fun.

Would like the idea of mastering LaL as a fan of this game but, as three people said it and two of them even mastered the game with that issue, I'll say it once more.

The "no saving" cheevs need to be thrown into lava. They kill the fun, require complete perfection and contradict the original idea of playing a JRPG. There has been an argument on Mother 3 set for moving the 16-hit combos to a subset, and it's already acceptable. But albeit combos are hard, they're fun to master at least. They're giving the stimulation and sharpen the battle at long-term.

And, they entirely fit into the unwelcome concept. From Content Guidelines

"π—₯π—²π—Ύπ˜‚π—Άπ—Ώπ—²π˜€ π—–π—Όπ—Ίπ—½π—Ήπ—²π˜π—² π—£π—²π—Ώπ—³π—²π—°π˜π—Άπ—Όπ—»

Achievements that require a long task where the slightest mistake will end in failing the challenge. Especially challenges where randomness and other variation in game behavior makes anticipating actions extra difficult."

And no, save points were invented as a prevention of losing progress on Famicom crash, and when it comes to emulator - the problem is completely the same. Each chapter takes several hours to finish, and if you don't know plot in detail - it's just destructive to exploration.

Moreover, not everyone can finish the game in one day, and even if you can it's overwhelming. The game doesn't even reward you for no-saving; meaning it's also pointless grinding - replaying the chapter for the sake of making it perfectly.

Oh wow, 1400+ symbols.

I'm still on the fence about removing the no-save challenges myself. But I am concerned about one thing. I go to start a chapter I have yet to earn its respective no-save for with a file I have saved previously, the icon does not appear. This does not bode well for the Medieval chapter once I finally get to it.
CashJackson 1 Jan 2025 07:18
waiting for the no save achievements to get taken out before locking in on this. they really dont add anything.
Shizaaa1992 1 Jan 2025 22:49
Same thing here, without saving it doesn't add anything to the game, especially when it's an RPG
stupidcatgirl 19 Mar 2025 01:54
I don't really understand the no saving challenges for a JRPG like this. It's like a 10-20 hour long game IIRC. Just my two cents.
