As for Ultima: Warriors Of Destiny, i'm going to leave that alone for now just in case FlyingArmor wants it.
mechaskrom has mapped a great action RPG, Legend Of Mana!I remember when I saw pictures of Legend of Mana at its release and were blown away by the painting-like gorgeous graphics. I actually never got around to play it until now though
All the Mana games are so colourful and detailed. Is this not one of the most gorgeous games on the original PlayStation? Probably one of the best-looking games with hand-drawn graphics, like, ever, even. Free from the need to use tiles (like on the Super NES) and not bowing to that generation's push into 3D polygons, just about every screen or room looks like a painting.
. The graphics and music is amazing, but I found the game to be pretty boring to play. Secret of Mana on the SNES is much more fun in my opinion.I like that mechaskrom indicates how all the rooms are connected and what is in each chest, and though that is expected of RPG maps, the treasure contents are listed aside and the paths connecting screens never go over the games' graphics themselves, allowing us to see each room with no obstructions. Now that's how you map a beautiful RPG!I'm glad you noticed. As you alluded to, I didn't want to cover up any of the beautiful graphics so I kept all markings outside all rooms. The maps are thereby booth marked and unmarked at the same time
. Fortunately this worked quite well for this game as most rooms are small. Most likely a consequence of the graphics (PSX's 1MB VRAM isn't much for this kind of style).
