Tales of destiny 2 work on VGS?

Trunks213 · September 21st, 2001

thinking if anyone has tried it yet, im planning on buying it

sights · September 22nd, 2001

Hi, Trunks. I borrowed this rpg yesterday, from a friend of mine, and gave it a go. Before I go on, let me say that it was a copy and not the original. The game ran almost perfectly on VGS (and ePSXe) - I say "almost" because there was a little but noticeable sound glitch: When a character finishes his line of speech, you get to hear for about 1/3 of a second, the beginning of the NEXT line of speech (yes, even BEFORE you press the X button to advance the dialog). I don't know if this problem appears because the disk was a copy, but I doubt that this kind of problem exists on a real PSX (I'll have to check with my friend about that, he uses a real PSX) it's probably an emu-related problem.
Aside from that little bug, the intro FMV played perfectly, and so did the battles. I have only played for about 30 minutes, but it looks great so far...

Trunks213 · September 22nd, 2001

hmmm....... thanks alot for your help! is there anywhere u can turn off voices? i would rather just read then hear, im not fond of dubs and voices unless they are done very good.

sights · September 22nd, 2001

Why, yes !! ...there are TWO options for turning the voices off. The first one is under the "sound volume" --> "voice volume", but with this option you'll miss the voices in battles, so I suggest that you turn off the other option : "event voice" off.
Anyway, the voiceovers sound pretty much ok to me, but then again I'm not very picky !!

...also, please consider this: the sound bug that I have experienced, may as well be a glitch in my computer only (I mean it may be a cd-rom thing, or anything..). Maybe other users gan get past it... I think that the best option for you would be to rent the game, and see how it performs...

I have a copy ... I'm playing it with VGS and I got through Disc1 with no problem's at all.

Of course, I couldn't stand the voices at all and turned them off (I guess I'm spoiled from Baldur's Gate II)

fujita · September 26th, 2001

Good day everyone.
I've played Tales Of Destiny 2 for about 6.00 hours game time so far on VGS 1.41. The problem that seems to appear is when entering battles. Sometimes, the game will crash, leaving the screen blank. Is anybody know anything about this? Other than that, the game works fine, although there are some sound glitches, but it's okay.

sights · September 27th, 2001

Hi, fujita. There was no trouble with the battles on my PC, but then again I only played ToD2 for half an hour or so !! ...since I have very little free time, I doubt that I will be playing ToD2 for some time, but, if you could post your memory card with a save in the area where these "problematic" battles occur, then I would gladly test it ... this way we could see if this bug occurs in my computer too, without me having to play for six hours to reach the point where you are now.

Oh, and another thing. You mentioned something about a sound glitch. Is that a speech glitch ? - to be more specific: do you hear (for a splitsecond) the beginning of the next line of dialog, as the current one finishes ? (you can test this very easily, by turning up the volume of VGS, running ToD2, selecting "new game" and listening to the dialog between Reid and Farah). I am trying to verify if this "speech glitch" is a general problem, or occuring on my PC only.

**Shiori** · September 29th, 2001

i just got me a copy of Tales of Destiny II too, but i won't be playing it yet (i got Star Ocean 2, Saiyuki: Journey West, Kartia and Tactics Ogre lined up before it.

) so please post here any glitches/problems you may find regarding this game in this topic. thanks!

guwapings · September 29th, 2001

Hey shiori, where did you get a copy of TOD2 and Tactics Ogre?

**Shiori** · September 29th, 2001

nice one guwapings, emulation freak ka na!

anyway, it's all over where PSX CDs are sold.

for me, i found both at University Mall sa tapat ng La Salle Taft.

You should find TOD2 easily, but Tactics Ogre is another matter. I got the last copy of the store, and up to now they still haven't got new stocks.

btw, i finally got a copy of PSX Final Fantasy Tactics in Greenhills a few hours ago.

guwapings · September 29th, 2001

**Shiori** · September 29th, 2001

i think you better transfer this to epsxe or misc emu discussion....at least, i think that's where Pete only goes.

i'll just start a new thread in the epsxe plugin section, hope you tried my config, TOD 2 sure is nice.

hey shiori.. gising ka pa o kagigising mo pa lang?

**Shiori** · September 29th, 2001

kagigising ko pa lang...maglalaba kasi ako eh.

(i just woke up, i have to eat breakfast early.

)

LOL!

btw, Ultragunner is having a hard time looking for TOD 2...maybe you can help him.
