I searched the forums and saw nothing about this, so I’m gonna talk about this here. About five months ago, MIJET released an updated version of the Langrisser II(Genesis/MD) patch which cleans up alamone’s bad hacking in the original HH/NoProgress patch, as well as a smaller and more readable font which gives the text more of a Langrisser I/Warsong feel. Plus the game doesn’t crash before the ending, and the patch now works with any emulator instead of being exclusive to Megasis/Genecyst like the HH/NoProgress patch. So for those who have played Langrisser II and are wondering how the game ends, here is the link to the MIJET patch, and also the patching utility. Works with REV 02 version of the Langrisser II rom.
EDIT: However, I will not link to the rom. Find it yourself.
I just don’t get why you’d play this one when Der Langrisser, the updated, overhauled version of Langrisser 2, has also been fully translated.
Differences in the light path, plus I still actually want to see how this one ended. I hear the Light path endings are slightly different in LII and DL, and having seen DL’s light(and imperial) path endings, I want to find out how true this actually is. I think the essential Light path missions are the same in both versions, but LII’s linear progression has more chapters and is a bit more difficult than the Light path in DL. This is noticeable even in chapter 1, where Erwin doesn’t mow down soldiers in LII with the ease that he does in DL(mainly because his class and stats are fixed in the beginning in LII, but in DL, you choose your class and generate stats through the Quiz), and even occasionally takes damage from them.
IMO, DL is still a superior game with its non linear progression and being able to play as both the bad guys, and being able to have both the good guys and bad guys as your enemies. Plus the SFC soundtrack does pwn the MD soundtrack. The SFC soundtrack sounds a lot more epic and crisp, where the Gen/MD soundtrack sounds like the music was sped up to happy hardcore techno like speeds.
Overall, both games are very good.
Note to self: I also need to finish both Chaos and Independent In DL. Have yet to play Independent, and my last computer got repoed while I was playing Chaos.
If you beat it see if they accept the ending the ending at VG museum.
