幻想三国志2

Replaying my favourite childhood game! 中文感想請在下方!!
This is a great semi-turn based RPG. The series started back in 2003 all the way to the 5th gen in 2015. It is based on the Three Kingdom (sango) saga in Chinese history, but the script writers added their own fantasy to the history. So, if you are into the Three Kingdom history, you will see some of the famous historical figures interact with you.
The artwork is really great! Well, it's definitely impossible to compare with all the crazy 3D nowadays, When the game first came out, 3D was not mature. The backgrounds were drawn by the art team. Each map is desktop background level. The amount of details inside each map were truly spectacular.
The music was composed by the game company's own staff. The BGM truly complimented the story very well. There is one theme song on every map. I sometimes just let my character stood there so that I could listen to the soundtrack.
The game was truly put together by a team of passionate talents.
As a player who played the 1st and 2nd gen when they were first released, I was absolutely surprised! I've played for more than 20 hours now. It like revisiting childhood a bit. As an original fan boy, I truly recommend the series.
HOWEVER!!!!
There are many bugs in the Steam version!!!!
The original game was published on Windows XP system. So, it was expected the core code would be ancient. When UJ (the company) announced that they would put this on Steam, I thought it would be a lot of work to QA and made sure things would work. Unfortunately, it almost seemed like they packed everything quickly and just dumped them on Steam....
Okay... Maybe that's not fair... Ensuring the game can still run on all the OS after XP, that's definitely a lot of QA. However, it looked like the QA focus was mainly put on ensuring if the game could be turned on. The company probably lacked the resources required to do proper game flow testing. That's why, you can probably see a bunch of other players raging at this game product. It's not that the game is bad, it's actually very good with in depth story lines with multiple endings. Even the final chapter will differ base on your decision!!! That's nothing to today's world, but all the RPG at the time had linear plots. Although the endings might be different, the monsters and major plots would still be the same.
The other players are raging because of all the bugs....
Below are just a few I encountered:
- Game window cannot be turned into full window size. I KNOW!!! WHY CAN'T IT BE IN FULL WINDOW?? The window size is also very small....
- If you dig deep into the folder, there's one other .exe file that will open the game in full size. BUT, all the text and layouts would be distorted that you cannot properly read the text. The game resolution would be very low as well.
- I had to change my display settings to zoom in at 175%. So that I could have the game window big enough like I'm playing it in full screen. But, changing this setting forces me to sign out and in each time. I still do all my errands at regular zoom. So, if my friends call me up to play LoL or other games, I need to reset my zoom setting in order to play with them. THIS IS ANNOYING!!
- I tried the other tool on Steam that other players recommended. While that would run the game in full window mode, the resolution was lost. The text would be a bit blurry to see.
- Stuck at some locations. I used keyboard to play the game. So that I could ease my wrist pressures from clicking. There were some maps that my character would be stuck and I could not move with keyboard keys. Luckily, I have been able to get other of those situations by moving with a mouse click.
- The odds of running into secret merchants. At a certain point of the game, you can unlock secret merchants for special goods. In the first release, the odds on running into them on world map was about 1 to 10 or 1 to 15. So that you will need to fight some mobs before buying things from them. When I unlocked the merchants today , the discovered odds were 9 to 10 or even 19 to 20. That meant instead of trying to fight mobs, I had to leave the merchants numerous times. There were items that can only be obtained from the mobs!!! With the merchants being so pushy, I could not level up and farm items in the way I wanted.
- MISSING DLC!!! Each gen has their own post main story DLC. For 1 to 3, they are not migrated to Steam.... For 2nd, the true ending is in the DLC..... That's just annoying.....
Those were my main concerns about the game.
I'm fortunate that I did not encounter the bugs of flash quit or unable to use items that others stated. UJ might have fixed it before I installed the game. However, that's something for you to watch out for.
Overall, I gave this a thumb up for I just love the series so much. In fact, this is my very first post on Steam after having an account for 7 to 8 years! I really love the art, character design, the music, the story, the fighting mode, the exploration, etc...
At the same time, I am very sad that I couldn't notice the love in this migration... It's been almost 20 years. The original team members may have retired. It really breaks my heart that the migration did not match what the game deserves...
中文感言
宇峻的遊戲陪伴我童年非常的深，從2000年左右的絕代雙驕一、二、三，再到幻想三國誌一、二(之後到國外不好買遊戲)，我真的非常非常喜歡幻三一跟二。以前還會買官方攻略本，每個字都一個字一個字的看，當時幾乎把每把主要武器的數值都背下來，當時每周還有限制玩電腦的時間，不能玩的時候，就是看攻略本過過乾癮。
如果說絕代雙驕系列是建立在古龍先生的經典武俠小說，幻三則是宇峻自己集大成的系列作(至少對我個人當時而言，幻三2之後，就很難玩到國產遊戲)，幻三的故事建立在三國誌的背景底下，更進一步寫出相當壯闊的奇幻武俠/仙俠故事，每個角色的刻畫都相當深刻，美術那是不在話下，最令人驚奇的是員工自己寫的主題曲!!! 意境跟旋律都朗朗上口，而且每一代的主題曲都在不劇透的狀況下，把故事唱出來，可能是從一個角色的心聲為切入點，或是某段劇情的啟發。這可謂是為遊戲量身訂做，當劇情推進，主題曲一下，小時候的我雖對人生懵懵懂懂，還是哭得淅瀝嘩啦。
當公佈說要把幻三移植到Steam的時候，我二話不說直接買了整組。為了童年回憶，值得!
玩二代的時候，我甚至忘記自己玩過二代，一直到楚歌見到海棠的瞬間，玩過的回憶就湧現而來。但是我只記得我玩過，卻把劇情全忘了! 也還好全忘，現在可以更認真的體驗一下劇本。如今一看，確實相當厲害，許多地方短短幾句，就扣人心弦，加上量身訂做的BGM，那可是溫暖了現今是中年大叔的我。遊戲本身相當用心，每一個NPC都有自己的對話，那年代還做不了太多變化性的對話，可是跟每一位NPC說話，都很深刻讓我了解到他們生活的世界是怎麼樣。
但是，這次的移植卻有一些bug...
- 不支援全螢幕...就算在資料夾裡面點另一個exe檔，出現的全螢幕是有問題的。整個顯示像縮窄拉高一樣，官方目前還沒有任何對這的回應。雖然有些其他高手推薦一些工具，我試了幾個，放大之後畫質卻變差了。字體忽租忽細，遊戲顆粒還大的像粗糙的毛孔...
- 陣行不能更換位置，自絕代三之後，陣行是UJ的RPG裡面的一大賣點。把那些角色放到恰當的位置取得適合的增幅，這很重要。但現在不能換位置....至少二代不行...
- 神秘傷人的出線機率過高。在遊戲中期，玩家可以解鎖神秘商人。印象中以前玩的時候，大約是在大地圖上碰到10次怪，會有一次是商人，可以跟他買隱藏物品。所以如果剛好運氣不好，會需要跑很久。這個版本卻是反過來...在大地圖上碰到10次怪，會有9.5次是商人，雖然這讓買東西方便一些，但是大地圖的怪有專屬掉落物品，身為練級狂魔，我打不到這些怪，挺煩人的....就像是很久不見的老同學，一直要推薦保險或傳銷給你，掛電話後還一直打，出門買個飯也被堵到，明明把他賣的東西全買了，還是繼續打過來說"嘿嘿，老同學，買東西嗎?"
- 沒有資料片!!!! 幻三系列都會出個資料片，讓大家看看本傳結局後，角色的日常等等。一代到三代在Steam是沒有資料片的....二代的理想結局在資料片裡面...沒有資料片是希望玩家作夢去夢到了.... T^T
還有其他人說的閃退、無法使用物品、或是缺字等等，我個人沒有碰到。我是用繁體Win 10在跑，給大家參考一下。
基本上幻三一跟二我非常推薦，之後幾代我沒玩過，接下來應該也會玩完它們。能出到五代，是真的很厲害...

更新評論 (Update)：
發現有更新，續緣篇上綫了，一些bug也有修，也有提供問題討論串
Just found out there are updates. The DLC and some fixes are included. Official discussion for bugs and questions are also created.
------
基本上就是檔案上傳上來就放生玩家了。
沒提供修正方法，沒有續緣篇，連一個在討論區的官方回復也沒有。
如果是買情懷的，建議有打折的時候再買。
The developer or publisher basically just upload the game and done. The rest is up to the players.
Provide no fixes, no continuation dlc, and not even an official reply can be found here.
If you are buying this for reminiscence, buy it when it's on sale.

You can change your battle formation positions when you got more battle formations, only the lowest one cannot be change, so it's not unplayable.
You can't use choose which item to use in battle (the game will crash), but i always put them in my hotkeys anyways, so it's not a big problem.
You cannot use full screen in win10, but you can just change your own screen resolution back to 832x624 or 800x600, and it'll feels like a full screen
Otherwise there are NO bugs in-game, which i'm very happy of :)

好玩!
要玩的話直接玩資料卡, 可以不用二周目.
