I know a lot of you are children who don't even know Dragon Quest or SNK, but should I play Sakura Taisen on SS/DC/PSP for the most soul, or play the PS2 remake for more content?

if you own a crt and a sega saturn then play on that if not just emulate the ps2 remake.
Aiden Peterson
I'd stick with the original, since that seems to be what the almost-complete fan translation works with.
Jose Brown
First one, then the other.
Colton Nguyen
Definitely not SS with it's epic 104p video resolution. I ended up going for dreamcast versions on my Switch for both optimal quality and portability. Halfway done with 2 right now.
Asher Howard
Thanks for the answers guys.
Does anyone have any experience with the PSP version? Not only is it a port of the original (preserving all of the SOUL) but it also comes with Sakura Taisen 2. Seems like the best option considering how accurate PSP emulation is, unless I'm missing something.
Cooper Richardson
Nah. All I've played is 1 on the Saturn and 1-4 on the Dreamcast.
Cameron Richardson
I'm going to get the Dreamcast version of 1 and compare it to my PSP's quality. Maybe it'll be better?
Noah Ortiz
Man I've been asking myself whether to play on the DC or PS2 this whole week. While the 1st one looks better clarity wise, I can still feel the allure of extra content & re-recorded voice and music.
Bentley King
The clarity of the PS2 on there is because I don't have a PS2 anymore (it got lost somewhere) and had to screenshot that clip from an old fuzzy Youtube video.

Yep, I'm thinking the DC route is the way to go. The game looks very crisp and it retains all of the SOUL of the original version.
The PSP version is low res and the PS2 remake is a remake. It's my first time playing Sakura Taisen as well, and I think I want to experience the same SOUL people felt in 1996.
Join me in playing the DC version, brother.
Ayden Smith
I have the DC physical version in the mail. But new content, re-recorded voices and music really flare up my tick.
I wished I had never learned there was a ps2 remake. I'll probably just play the first hour of the game on both versions once my DC copy arrives and decide from there.
I mean I have no choice for 3-4 anyways, they have no remake so might as well play them on the DC.
Owen Ortiz
Don't you want to be transported back into 1996? That's the point of getting into the series in 2019. We want to see how they made a soulful game from just their imaginations, instead of a remake that was done after its success.
Nicholas Morales
The primary relevant difference is the original versions have grid-based movement and action while the PS2 version is more analog.
Joshua Edwards
I want to see what's good about Sakura Taisen. For a series like this I imagine the most important part are the characters and their interactions. So I want to see those elements at their best. I want to play through the best experience they have to offer.
Reading through interviews for the Ps2 version I was sufficiently convinced (or fooled) that they cared about the remake and really only gave it a new coat of paint.
If the "soul" is intact then I should feel like the PS2 version is as captivating as the original.
And the only way to find that is to play it myself.
I think I read that later sequels use the analog movement or is it only the PS2 remake?
Camden Carter
Only 1 and 2 used the grids. Everything from 3 onward, including the PS2 remake of 1, went analog. Unless you're counting things like the Nintendo DS dungeon crawler.

Never thought i see the day

Also keep in mind that Hanagumi Columns 1 is only on the Saturn and Hanagumi Columns 2 is only on the Dreamcast.
Jordan Harris
i'm surprise grabbing Kubo actually help them gaining popular in western
Ayden Sullivan
I'm sure announcing day 1 that the west is getting the game (Also multi-5 for Europe) helped too.
Carter Evans
Well, gotta play something on the way to December.
James Wood
Put me in the cryo chamber please
Adam Nelson
There's a new game coming out and it's actually coming out in english
Christian Cook
Always was curious about this series. Did they finally translate it?
Noah Peterson
Eventually. It's been almost six months since the last update on the topic from the English-language side of Sega.
Jordan Gomez
>Shin Sakura Taisen will be released for the PS4 in Japan this winter, and Sega Europe has confirmed that the game will be brought to the west in spring 2020.
Landon Thompson
That's not the original tho
Gabriel Flores
1-4, nothing official, just fanmade text guides and a translation project that's allegedly close to finishing one game. 5 is in English on the PS2 and Wii.
Ayden Roberts
which Sakura girl has the cutest feet and armpits?
