Super Nintendo SFC is the most brilliant era of pixel wind games, the birth of countless star-like RPG series, but also many games fell here and were forgotten - BANPRESTO (Glasses Factory), seeing this LOGO everyone's first reaction must be the world-famous miscellaneous army game series - Robot Wars SRW, but few people know that BANPRESTO also has a brilliant RPG series called "Advent", right?
The Fantasy Japanese Antique RPG of the Sequel to The Descent of the Ghost, produced by the PANDORA BOX (Pandora's Box) group, is very different from the popular sword and magic D&D style RPG at the time, and the screenplay also has a very strong Japanese mythological color.
The story takes place in the Nichimaru Kingdom, where Sakamoto Ryoma is located, when the Nichimaru Kingdom was still ruled by the shogunate, but with the influx of a large number of foreign ships, it brought advanced technology and various resources and products from the West, known in history as the "Black Ship To Sail", and from then on the earth-shaking era of the end of the shogunate came.
Yamato Maru, a rural tycoon from IidaCho, was born with envy and hatred since childhood, and by chance, he met "Torota" of the Shadow New Compilation Group, and had the honor of becoming colleagues with the group's white brother Isamu Kondo, deputy chief Togata Shizo, Okita Soji, Saito Ichi and other legendary bigwigs, which at first glance is completely the traditional routine of the protagonist's aura.
Let go, the new group cut the monster!
In terms of plot, as mentioned earlier, Nichimaru Kingdom coincided with the alternating era of the Meiji Restoration, and natural monsters were rampant. On the recommendation of Torota, Yamato Maru embarked on a journey to slay demons and exorcise demons. Guided by the big guys in the new writing group, they learned that the reason for the abnormality of the monsters across the country was that multiple spirit caves had been opened everywhere, and it was necessary to collect the "Five Swords of the World" to seal the spirit cave in order to restore peace to the world - it was also the traditional treasure hunting PRG routine to save the world.
During the treasure hunt, the protagonist learns that the "Cai Shen Clan", which holds the secret of the spirit cave, was exterminated by the monster, so he rushed to rescue the youngest sister , "Cai Shen Xia Ya" - the heroine is online! Later, he joined the big brother "Cai Shen Winter Night" who went out to practice, and then flew across the sea to the beautiful country, defeated the evil three doctors and sealed the overseas spirit cave, and the winter night sacrificed in a foreign land to save everyone, and from then on the screenwriter began to release himself. The last group of people returned to Mt. Fuji, and together they sealed the last spirit cave, and since then, all the monsters in the world have been wiped out, and the door of a new era has opened!
Although the plot is some old routine, the setting of "The Legend of the End of the Curtain" is still worth watching. Most of the monsters that appear in the game are Japanese mythology and folklore monsters, and later in the American continent, they have changed to monsters and gods of American mythology, and the rich monster settings make players dazzled, as if a book of yokai and ghosts nocturnal scrolls drove me to every corner and every maze of the game.
There will also be many hidden anecdotes in the game, such as helping good yokai to build a yokai village, and bringing yokai who want to live a peaceful life around the world to yokai villages. Monster villages are also related to hidden elements and hidden props, and there will be many benefits when the monster village develops to a certain extent.
People can be "handsome and handsome", big love!
There is a hidden "karma" value setting in the game, the so-called karma is evil, many sins are unforgivable, bad behavior will reduce yamato maru's karma value, such as beating children, stealing todo the third year of the Watamori... I don't know if these settings were borrowed from Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain later. Doing good deeds and choosing the right choice for certain conversations will increase the karma value, and the dialogue of some NPCs and the treatment of Yamato Maru will be changed, but there will be no impact on the main line process. The main thing about karma is to affect the attainment of divine descent (summoning), and when karma peaks when going home to sleep, you can dream of the seven blessed gods, and thus get this divine incarnation.
Can A player with RPG syndrome hold back and not take a sword?
Another point that differs from the traditional routines of other RPG games is that the strongest equipment of "The End of the Curtain" has long been equipped with players, that is, the famous five swords of the world: Tong Zi Che, Dain Tai, Mikazuki, Ghost Maru, and Shuzhu Maru. These five swords have a low initial value, but they can accumulate experience in battle and grow with the protagonists and realize their sword skills. When I first played the game without knowing the stakes, I didn't practice a single Excalibur, and I only relied on the knives and guns sold by the shopkeeper to pass the level, and in the end I even did the final BOSS, which was incredible! At that time, he also inquired everywhere: "Why did I pass the level and still have no sword skills?"
"At that time, the information was not developed, there was no network, and the people who could inquire and communicate were playmates in the same city, and they also said that they did not understand this." And the original raider was the "Electric Soft" bamboo string like the process list, neither research experience nor skills, until later from the side door left road news learned that those swords that could not be sold were actually the five swords of the world, and at that time it was obvious that it was just a bunch of ugly values, black and mushy ordinary knives and forks... It's a tyrannical thing to think about.

In addition to the regular protagonist's four companions, you can also collect NPCs who are on a common adventure through hook-ups, each with a different effect, including samurai, monks, sailors, kanban maidens, sumo wrestlers, and even cats, dogs, and chicks. There are as many as twenty nakamas that can be encountered in the game, and the resident eight can be set in the menu, and the protagonist group can be given a lot of help in battle, such as slashing monsters, releasing spells, returning blood, assisting and adding buff, etc., but all these actions are random, and the mood is good, and the whole maze has not come out several times.
There are a few exceptions, such as the Seven Blessings effect of the Divine Descent that can make every turn appear in the middle of the circle. The more special Nakama is the yokai "Kapok", which is a flying vehicle in the game, which can carry the protagonist to the sky, but cannot go to sea, which is difficult to understand.

After the unprecedented success of "The Legend of the Curtain", BANPRESTO confidently launched the open-world RPG "Flying Over the Starry Night Prairie", but how ambitious it fell was miserable, although the game's graphics artist was a top production in the SFC era, but the game design concept of that era at that time made the game performance very boring, in the words of my friend after the trial, "After an hour of climbing the mountain, there was no battle" One step was lost, Pandora's box was disbanded, BANPRESTO's RPG path is like a meteor streaking across the night sky, and finally obediently boiling turnips. Although "ONI Zero-Resurrection" also appeared in PS later, the era that belonged to advent has passed...
How many people remember this game in Leaping Starry Night Prairie?
