What about Snape kills Dumbledore?

I have some real info if you guys want it, but it's not that big a thing.

Spoiler: show

We learned in the first few minutes of datamining there's two Culex mobs.

Then from dumping cutscene data we found...

Spoiler: show

Round 1 is vs OG 2D Culex.


Rematch is vs new 3D version. Looks like a particular item is needed to trigger this fight.

That's pretty much it. I'm curious about Toad_Evil too though. Wonder if they're just the dudes from the Yaridovich sequence, but would be fun if it was a hidden boss.

Other than that, it's a 10 hour game and people have already beaten it. Seems to be a pretty direct remake of the SNES title.

wasn't the original more like 20

[Drai]

nah, even my first playthrough of the game I think was only like 15 hours, the last casual run I did was around 8ish hours or so a few years back, so 10 hours seems about right assuming the puzzles are the same.

who you gonna believe me or your lyin eyes

[Vaspinne]

I'm hyped for this but paying current day full price for a 10 hour game is just rough

[Anoat]

I’ll do it because nostalgia makes us part with money in irrational ways

Atleast with Star Ocean, they shaved it down to $50. I'll probably still get the game though.

[Krandor]

The new star ocean 2 was a pretty comprehensive update, definitely worth the 50

[Lucavi]

The OST is... well... We've always known that Yoko Shimomura is a goddamn genius, but yeah. Yeah. She killed it.

Its incredible. I'm basically buying an absurdly good remastered OST with a very solid 10-hour game tacked on. This is acceptable.

[Andalusian girls]

not 1 of u will play this game for only 10 hours i swearta

[Gredival]

Yeah I definitely replayed this game multiple times when I was young. Even if it's only a 10 hour play through (which I don't think it is, at least not if you do all of Bowser's Castle to get all of the weapons) I'm still going to clock at least twenty on this.

This was my first RPG and I think was 13 maybe so this might be skewed but I definitely feel like the game took much longer than 10 hours to finish

[arus2001]

As with pretty much all RPGs of the era, they might not take long if you take the optimized speedrunner approach, but for casuals or those not rolling with walkthroughs, anything short of 20 hours was usually considered a dud experience in my book. Not being some level of a completionist is just doing it wrong with these types of games, imo.

I think our memory from childhood/teenage years is always kinda skewed or we just play more efficiently. I had a number of games I remembered taking me very long to complete and being surprised years later how short they were when I was replaying them again.

[Athas]

It feels like it took me almost 10 hours just to do that damn 100 jump thing back in the day.

Or that left right minigame.

[Kirin]

I could see rushing through and avoiding battles hitting 10 hours. Any% speedruns are just under 3 hours, but thats including multiple glitches and the spellswap trick. Without all that technical stuff or reliance on rock candy, 10 hours for "playing the game normally" still seems abnormally low. 15-20 hours sounds more like it.
