Fray Xak Gaiden

[Nando]

So I recently discovered the game via screen shots and was wondering if anyone has played it. It looks REALLY good!  and the game play seems similar to Kiki Kai Kai and Lengend of Valkyrie.

Have any of you played it? is it worth hunting down?

[SignOfZeta]

I have it. If you are at all interested in it after seeing screen shots or videos than you absolutely want it in your collection. Its fun and funny, it has good graphics, gaijin protection is low.

[NecroPhile]

It's cute as a button and tons of fun (even with the bitchy jumps required), though it's not very hard (except for the stiff jumps).  I'd definitely say it's worth getting if the price is right.

[Nando]

What would be a decent price for it? Saw one on evilBayz for $35 or so.  I'm pretty sure I will want to add that one to my collection. Something about it totally grabbed me by the Otaku

[Arkhan Asylum]

It is an excellent game.  One of my favorites on the PCE.  35$ seems fair.  I paid 35$ for mine a few years back.

It's got some great music too.

It's a spinoff of the Xak series, meant to be cutesy and fun.   Check out the MSX2 version as well.   It was translated to english, and it is fanfuckingtastic.

[NecroPhile]

Yeah, $35 seems like a decent price for it (it's $33 from hit-japan).

Arkan Asylum: What's a good MSX emu?

NecroPhile: Right on! thanks for the tip!

[PunkCryborg]

I've never seen this one, it looks pretty awesome though! Yeah from videos I've watched it looks like your kikikaikai/valkyrie comparison is spot on. There's just soooo many games on PCE you never hear about.

All in fun my friend.

Get OpenMSX + Catapult

youll need system roms.  I can email you a set of MSX2+ system roms, or you can try trackin em down.

Its like finding a bios for sega CD.

[Nando]

All in fun my friend. 

I'm just doing my job and making sure you spend your money in Obeyz
   <-- if it were only animated and walking away casually...



The mrgreens gave it away. No worries. ;)

that's why

[shubibiman]

The guy with 700 PCE games (  ) also says that Fray Xak Gaiden is a very funny game. You don't need japanese to get through it but it still useful to enjoy the funny dialogues.

The only problem is the stiff controls, some platform parts are quite difficult because of that.

[RegalSin]

It is basically an ancient time version of that other shooter game, but instead of being a Shrine madien, like Sakura, you are a young sorcerous with powers. The gameplay is basically the same as the following

Moon Light Lady PCE CD
Pockey and Rocky PCE Hu-card

Another arcade game that is simular to Kiki KaiKai

[Nando]

So I've been emulating the gaming to test it out before buying it. Still haven't gotten too far, the biggest issue for sure is the controlls. What a shame!

It reminded me of twinkle tale a bit but the biggest flaw on it is that the character has no diagonal walk AT ALL!   The pace is a bit slower so one can sorta overcome that, but REALLY GUYS? an awesome looking game killed by diagonals..tsk, tsk, tsk.

Still, I think I'm gonna hunt it down. Think of it as an obstacle to overcome. Kinda like Rockman not being able to crouch or shoot up, or Michael Keatons batman not being able to look up or sideways without moving his whole body.

ANYWAY!!!

[Arkhan Asylum]

You can walk diagonally.


You just can't FACE diagonally.

I just picked this one up the other day. It's pretty cool so far! It's kinda lame fray can't shoot vertically but the enemies can though

Fixed that for you.

QUIT WHINING, PUSSY.


This game is in my top-games-for-PCE-Ever.

Diagonal is for chumps.  Strafe them monsters.

Ok  I didn't play far into it and see I get better weapons......

The log jump part is a bitch though, I had to turn the volume off cause I got tired of hearing Fray scream as she jumped into the pit over and over and over and over and over

[Arkhan Asylum]

Oh.  I get aroused when I hear it.

If you put the disc in with Sys Card 2, you get to see the succubus ladies boobies.

and if you don't have enough save space, you get to see a Fray panty shot.

What.   You don't wanna see the succkybitches boobies?

ill take some pics when i get home lol
here's pics of a bunch of sys card screenshots The best is Sapphire when you don't have the arcade card in. I don't see fray though.

[Arkhan Asylum]

I have screenshots of it at home somewhere.  I thought I had them on teh photobucket, but I don't.

[Nando]

What.   You don't wanna see the succkybitches boobies?

Oh I totally do, I just had no idea.

PUNKI - you are me savior today mate! lol

I am eagerly awaiting this, it sounds entertaining.  I always though the Duos were great because you didn't need system cards, but I'm missing out on all the cool notification screens!

[PunkCryborg]

Yeah I have a IFU so I can play it on that. I might have to wait till I'm off in a couple days to play again
But yeah sapphire is awesome, she's saying something like "arcade card stick it in" or something kinda dirty.

Actually, the true message is far more titillating:



I couldn't agree more.

[RegalSin]

Fray? That is a shooter, simular to kiki KaiKai. The game is alright, because
of the cut scenes, otherwise it plays like Moon Light lady but you move on to area, after area. It is basically a magical girl type series.

It's not similar to Kiki Kaifuck it why even bother.

[ParanoiaDragon]

It's a thousand times better then Kiki Kai Kai IMHO.

[SignOfZeta]

It's a thousand times better then Kiki Kai Kai IMHO.

It better than the PCE version, but not better than the SFC version.

[Arkhan Asylum]

Fray MSX is better than all of the kkiedkikaidkaikaikaiaaais, and even the PCE Fray!

The PCE Fray has more colors/smoother controls/better boobage, but the story isn't presented quite as good, IMO.


They both rule though. 

[Senshi]

This is a great one. Once you get the controls down its highly enjoyable. The towns aren't too bad to figure out either without knowing japanese.

[PunkCryborg]

I just beat the pirate ship and the squid boss. Can't wait to play some more this weekend

[Arkhan Asylum]

One of my favorite parts is whenever you enter houses and she says Hello or whatever


I walked in and out of houses for like 5 minutes laughing my ass off.   The funny PSG music makes it even better.

[geise]

I usually find myself just watching title screen.  HAHA!  Very comical game

[NecroPhile]

I have screenshots of it at home somewhere.  I thought I had them on teh photobucket, but I don't.

We're waiting.

oh shit , I forgot to do that.

I swear I posted them here once already.   lol

[Joe Redifer]

I've owned this game for a few years.  Played it once when I got it and then shelved it.  This thread prompted me to play it again.  Great game for sure, but a few things annoy me:

-The music.  It kind of sucks, especially the PSG stuff.  The town music sounds broken/out of tune.
-The voices.  Why can I not skip them?  They really break up the flow and pacing of the game especially when fighting the second boss.  If I can't skip them, I want an option to completely turn them off.  I don't need to hear a high-pitched cute anime voice every time I enter a door while the game freezes and loads the voice.

Overall, I think this game would be better on HuCard because the pacing would be improved without the voices.  That wouldn't fix the bad music, though.

Top: Wrong System card, boy

Bottom: Hurry up and switch to the Super System Card and come and do nice things with big sis here.
Well now, h-u-r-r-y <3


Naugthy error-screen, I love it.

[spenoza]

That's a pretty darn good translation, too. It reads well and has all the same atmosphere and attitude of the Japanese. Sure, it's always easier with just a couple lines than more material, but I still think it was good translating work.
