Yeah I agree that Season 4 felt like it went too far with being mean spirited (on top of not liking most of the major plot lines and findiing it pretty boring since it didn't have enough content for the amount of time it had); it kind of ruined the entire series for me after it actually ended pretty well for a show that continually got jerked around the way it did and that it didn't really need a continuation.

haven't watched any of season 5 yet due to not having netflix

After Years is episodic, with you playing through as each different character/party on a separate save. Each character also gets a bonus dungeon to level up and get items and stuff to prepare them for the endgame since the save files carry over to the final one.

Story wise, it's nothing special. You have a lot of stuff that hasn't really changed since the original or gets repeated as a reference to the original. There's also a lot of overlap between stories.

so that's kind of the problem, a lot of repeated content and gameplay wise you're stuck using mid game equipment and spells until you get to the final story so it doesn't really feel like you're making progress.

I haven't played the 3d version (it's based on a mobile port) but I think it's supposed to be worse because it cuts a lot of gameplay content.

I haven't played the Switch version of Rescue team, just the gba version (and I've also went back to and am probably nearing the end of PSMD).

But I guess it kind of depends on how you feel about roguelikes and Polkamen in general. Also how much you'd get out of depends on how much of the postgame you'd be interested in doing. Story is probably 10-15 hours long and the difficulty is relatively low (other than occasionally getting stuck in bad type matchups in dungeons and boss fights depending on your starter/partner) and you can just outlevel stuff, and then you get into postgame where you can try to recruit as many pokeymans as possible and harder dungeons open up that require more strategy to beat (like 99 floor ones that you can't take items into and reset your level each time you enter for a more traditional roguelike experience).

in general I think the general opinions on the series would be more like

Rescue team - more basic/simpler and kind of like a proof of concept
Explorers - the fan favorite and has the most focus on story
Gate to Infinity - a pretty rough transition to 3d graphics that cuts out a lot of packeymin
Super - some fans are divided over some mechanical changes and such, but is generally considered a return to form
Rescue Team DX - don't think there's much of a consensus yet since you have some quality of life improvements but also moveset and mechanical changes from the original some of which make the story part of the game easier so you get fans that complain that things are different. other fans wish that they could have done more with the remake (like adding in more post gen 3 pickymun) and changed more. (and of course professional reviewers don't really "get" the series anyway)

just a heads up.

if you're playing the modern remade version of ys 1 (the psp/pc version), I would recommend just setting the difficulty to the easiest settings unless you're a masochist because the third boss and the last boss are horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible nightmares.

I haven't tried the turbo cd version, but it might be a bit more manageable since it combines the two games and I think the level carries over so you might have a little more breathing room in terms of gaining levels if you're having trouble instead of suffering such pain despite already being forced to be at the level cap.

no, it got outright cancelled IIRC, with some bs about "well bamco's bringing over a lot of tales games, maybe they'll release an official localization or remake it and localize it like Hearts".

though, someone else ended up translating the psx Tales of Phantasia before they finished their version.

I don't play sf2 really but I thought it was more

World Warriors (original) -> Championship Edition (genesis version that let you play as bosses) -> Turbo (faster gameplay, play as bosses + new characters) -> Super (new characters but slower than turbo) -> Super Turbo (which I assume is the definitive classic version) -> HD Remix (dunno about any gameplay changes here vs. super turbo) -> whatever the Switch version was called (has some other changes and some new characters, but they're like palette swaps or something).

someone can correct me if I'm wrong here.

edit and other people posted while I was typing like I was expecting

well, it's an older action rpg, it may just be a stat thing, your stats might just be too low to damage them.

though, I think the mushrooms and the flying insects in the poison forest you can't actually hurt without getting the fire sword.

anyway, I just beat the nausicaa ripoff and got the fire orb.
