I recently managed to beat one of the great RPGs on the PC-ENGINE CD (Tengai Makyou II) in 135 hours and 17 minutes 🙏

Amazing! As someone who has never heard of the game, can you explain what makes it take so long to play? Is it one of those old school RPGs with lots of grinding?

One is too grindy, especially for the time period it was made, but there’s a lot lol

Nice, I’m playing 1 now. How hard was it to do 2 without the translation?

I had some difficulties (mainly trying to recognize mandatory items), I even had to watch some gameplay videos and guides on the Internet.

Sweet! I have a copy but I've been waiting for the translation before diving in. Do you understand Japanese? If not, do you think you got the full experience?

I understand a little Japanese, and I can recognize some kanji and kata writings in the game.

And also I hope to one day finish the game fan-translated.
