So far, um... I'm playing a 90's fantasy anime and it's wholesome as shit.

A crash if you play that while driving

[–] oascany@lemmy.world 1 points 49 minutes ago

Completely unrelated but I love the Civic Si, what gen is that one?

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Friends don’t let friends Lunar and drive.

[–] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 15 points 5 hours ago

A ticket, if caught while driving

I bought this game solely based on the full page ad in Playstation magazine. I put my hard earned cash down on a pre-order of the complete edition at "Software, Etc." at the shopping mall, sight unseen, with FF7 my only frame of reference on JRPGs. Definitely my favorite JRPG from my childhood.

My only regret is selling it, along with a Ghaleon puppet, on eBay a few years back.

Yep, it'll meet those expectations (and probably not exceed them).

As for being wholesome, well...there is a small part of the game that's on the pervy side.

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Remind me of the pervy part? There's a chance my hormone riddle brain found it acceptable and not noteworthy and have since forgot.

[–] Ashtear@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

spoilerThere are bromides (pictures) you can collect of the girls in the game.

Most of them aren't outright risque (it's not like The Witcher 1, nor is the context), it's mostly the concept itself that's a little out of place.

Name a JRPG that DOESN'T have a horny side.

[–] Ashtear@lemm.ee 2 points 4 hours ago

Like what Lunar does? It's pretty rare outside of the ecchi/outright eroge subgenres.

[–] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 hours ago

I don't remember Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked being horny, but it's been a while

[–] TheLightItBurns@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

I sometimes still hum the opening theme to Silver Star Story from my time playing the OG on PSX when it released. The game is just wonderful, hopeful, and fun. Enjoy!

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 20 points 13 hours ago (4 children)

One of the better JRPGs ever done.

Follow up Lunar 1+2 with Suikoden 1+2, then Golden Sun 1+2.

(Optional) Phantasy Star 1-4.

After that, you really don't need to play any other JRPG.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 1 points 37 minutes ago

Breath of Fire 3 is also an excellent, timeless JRPG

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 28 points 11 hours ago (1 children)
[–] JDPoZ@lemmy.world 17 points 10 hours ago

And Earthbound.

[–] Lemming6969@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

Lunar is up there with FF 4 and 6 and Chrono. Likely best 4 retro rpgs that exist.

@GhiLA Possibly death when playing while driving.

[–] GardenVarietyAnxiety@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I can't answer your question, but I have the RG35XX H arriving in a week, and you may have just inspired the first game to play when I get it. 😊

I actually owned Lunar 1 and 2 back in the day but never got around to playing them.

[–] bizarroland@fedia.io 2 points 10 hours ago

I like Lunar 1 but I never got into Lunar 2.

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

I lost my Miyoo Mini in Greece and want to buy another.

It's noticeably better than the 35XXsp I got to replace it.

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Onion os is a treasure. The devs are awesome.

[–] gazby@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

How so? Most of what I've read has drawn the opposite conclusion🤷‍♂️

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

The buttons on the Miyoo are much better. There are videos on disassembling the SP and putting tape over the buttons to try and fix them.

GarlicOS is much better on the Miyoo compared to SP stock or Muos. It's a super quick save/power off/boot/restore so when you hit power you are back in your game but because it's a real power off instead of sleep, you always have power. (Which is why I stopped using my Restroid.)

The SP can do save/restore but it's slower. The power button is particularly weird. You press power, wait two seconds, light comes on, then it boots.

The only thing the SP has going for it is the form factor.

[–] riquisimo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

GarlicOS? Do you mean OnionOS?

[–] gallopingsnail@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 9 minutes ago

I think OnionOS is for the Miyoo Mini, and GarlicOS is for Anbernic devices.

[–] minnix@lemux.minnix.dev -4 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

According to the device reviews, lots of potential problems.

[–] GhiLA@sh.itjust.works 15 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

It was $40 secondhand and has a DSlite battery inside it.

I call it my Shitboy. It's the device I take to work because I don't care about it that much, but he's a dependable little guy.

and MM+ is generally a great device. My battery just died... everything else works.

[–] SilentStorms@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

I have seen nothing but people raving about the Miyoo Mini +. Its cheap enough that if you happen to get a dud its no huge loss.

[–] moonburster@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

I got it 4 times and all were of good quality on release

[–] minnix@lemux.minnix.dev 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Miyoo Mini +

My mistake, I thought it was this one

[–] SilentStorms@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

That one isn’t bad either, but that price is way too high. A lot of the problems people have with these consoles is using the cheapo SD card that comes with it.

[–] Lommy@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

I have the Anbernic RG35XX and so far it has been an amazing device which I never regretted buying. You can get it for around €50 from Ali. The one linked seems to be a knock-off because I don't see any Anbernic branding.

[–] sic_semper_tyrannis@lemmy.today 8 points 12 hours ago

The Miyoo Mini Plus? It plays great and I haven't had a single issue
