Secret of Evermore/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** On a related note, many Japanese gamers felt disappointed because the game was never released in Japan, feeling they should have received this one in addition to ''Seiken Densetsu 3''. As mentioned above, the development teams for the two games worked 100% independently of one another, and ''Evermore'' was developed for the Western audiences to begin with. In other words, if there's anyone to blame, it's [[Executive Meddling]] within the Squaresoft HQ.

* [[Retroactive Recognition]]: This was the first game that Jeremy Soule composed music for.

* [[That One Boss]]:

** Doubling as a [["Wake-Up Call" Boss]], Salabog hovers over the swamp out of range of your normal weapons, and can only be damaged through usage of a leveled-up spear or alchemy. There's two major problems with this, the first being that unless you went out of your way to do it, you probably haven't had time to level up the Horn Spear you only just got, and the second being that this early in the game you only have three offensive Alchemy formulas and probably haven't leveled them up more and/or don't have the cash to stock up on ingredients for them very well. To make up for being out of reach, occasionally Salabog will snap its head forward to come in range, but this also hits you for some nasty damage, so get out of the way. Then, it regularly summons fireball minions to attack you and get in the way of your movement. Finally, Salabog has a lot of HP, 2000 — for points of comparison, the previous major boss, Thraxx, had 600 HP, and the final boss of the entire region, Magmar, has 1000.

** The Verminator, a [[Rodent of Unusual Size]] that perches on a stack of crates (safely out of reach of most physical attacks), hurls potent alchemy spells including Explosion and Plague, and occasionally robs you of HP with Drain. You'd better either have leveled up your spear and offensive alchemy or be willing to use up some [[Too Awesome to Use|Call Beads]].
