^You finally replaced the avatar I made for you.
I'm just shy of 100% positive a/the secret boss was in the first game. I know he is a character, and I am pretty sure there was a way to showdown with him, but it is really elaborate I think. Basically he exists to make the 6th general in the middle a more sympathetic character. He was a bald wizard I think. I don't know if I ever saw him in game.
Many RTS games can be played in a more turn based fashion. I just don't enjoy them. They feel like sheep herding simulators to me. I also lump many games into that category that are probably turn based. But many turn based games have real-time modes too I think. Even latter day Final Fantasy games had ATB. What ever happened to that series?
I thoroughly enjoyed everything about Brigandine. But the movies in GE. I don't mind that they are Japanese at all. If they were in English they'd probably have engaged me even less. If not make my ears recoil into my head. When I purchased it I kind of hoped that I could enjoy a game like that again. Another one was Dark Wizard. It had similar showdown scenes and many of the same qualities. But I don't think I have the time to spare even if I did end up enjoying myself...
I kind of always wondered what it would be like if the games would turn into a 1-on-1 fighting game. I don't think I can remember a single game that really lets you do that. Such a game could easily retain a strategy edge since units are rarely evenly matched. It would be crazy to take the old models from the first game and recreate the cut scenes somehow so that when an emulator gets to the fight part the game could pause and then a plugin could play the scene and even let you control it. I think we'll see a lot of weird stuff like that done over the next few decades. I don't see why it couldn't be done for Brigandine.
