That’s basically how most two player games of SoM end up. “Randi” is just a boring attacker and not particularly fun to play. It is also the only one the AI can really handle playing properly.
Comment on What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ??
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 days agoI let the third character be the boy(Randi). I played the sprite(Popoi) and my brother player the girl(Marle). The computer charged the attacks and we handled the spells.

Ironically, if you directly control the others, you have a small window of downtime after casting magic, which makes controlling Randi better for magic combos

Ah, but the real trick is that some of the sprite’s better spells don’t have a downtime (one example is the main dark offensive spell). You can just rapid fire the spell as quick as the menu lets you. Randi feels silly in comparison.

Marle is from chrono trigger. The SoM girl is either Purim or Primm.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I played both, Primm is the one that I remember. How I got her confused with Marle I’ve no clue.

Actually that’s not strange, Marle was based on Primm on a certain level. When development for Chrono Trigger began, Akira Toriyama was asked to make characters, and he was told he could use the SoM characters as inspiration or something along those lines, and he made Chrono and Marle basically as a DTIYS of Randy and Primm.

They do look very similar. Wouldn’t have questioned it if I hadn’t just played chrono trigger.
