    Stormy Sea in Pokemon Blue Rescue Team. Mostly due to my own incompetence, you need the HM dive to enter the dungeon, you get given the HM and can either teach it to a team mate or keep it in your bag. I had no water pokemon so I did the latter but when you lose in a dungeon _half of your items_ get randomly trashed. Guess what key item I only noticed was missing after I saved.

    I loved the Belinsk Ruins. The best way I can describe the feeling I got while playing it was finding a cult's abandoned spaceship. Its creators clearly had an excess of knowledge, yet still had their own alien system of beliefs. You can tell so much about the civilization who built it from the way it was designed: a simultaneous reverence for and desire to conquer the natural world.

      Would you count stuff from SMT: Persona?
      I know the original is a ps1 game but the psp version has its differences. Like the Snow Queen path being playable for the first time in the west, it's basically its own game.
      The different towers in Snow Queen only give you three hours to complete! The dungeons are totally featureless and labyrinthine. You can't get out or save other than suspend-save once you walk in, a party wipe means you start over again. The final and hardest is Thanatos Tower, a character dying means their Persona is sealed, rendering them useless and you have to return to a room to get it unsealed.
      Iirc, in order to unlock each character's ultimate persona you have to get Ambrosia, and you get the most by tackling the towers in reverse order! Now the Snow Queen route diverges from the main story very early so you're all wayyy underleveled to take on Thanatos tower first if this is your goal!
      It's a bloody nightmare.

      @theBOG64 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@alvedonaren Well, Eridanus has pretty much everything you can think of to make a dungeon a pain, it's a huge, multi-level dungeon where everything looks the same AND in order to traverse it, you gotta go up and down levels a lot, adding to the confusion, there are also whole floors filled with trap panels that poison or sleep you every time you step on em.
      Then there's the backtracking, if I recall correctly, you have to visit the darn thing like 3-4 times, each visit unlocking a new, even more obnoxious area. Oh, did I mention that Eridanus also has a giant teleport maze with one-way doors AND quest items placed in the maze you gotta find to progress? The only chance you have at going through that without losing your mind is to have a video walkthrough run next to your game and follow it step-by-step. Did I forget something? Oh yeah, it's part of every SJ dungeon, but there are special walls you can analyze to reveal doors, so you can add having to check every single tile of wall to all the stuff I mentioned.
      The ONE good thing I can say about Eridanus is that the boss at the end is surprisingly fair, at least compared to a lot of other bosses that are pure RNG on wether you win or instantly lose.

    • @davidvinc

      I included it as an honorable mention because I consider it a dungeon crawler type game rather than a JRPG and I haven't included a single dungeon crawler game in any of the lists. I did this because that genre is pretty much designed to have punishing dungeons and thus probably would have dominated all of my lists.

    • @fenniken5381
      @fenniken5381 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      so no persona dungeons than, except for maybe p5 and both 2s. 3 and 4, it's closer to a rogue game like mystery dungeon, 1, q and q2 are dungeon crawlers so the games are literally nothing but dungeons and dialogue. weird to say, but I think 5 is the first game in a long time to have proper dungeons. also, I got strange journey for 3ds, and it could just be me or did they make it easier? I've only got a game-over once and it was an optional fight against souped up slimes.

    You claim the final dungeon in partners in time was a pain yet the location where you first meet those bubble healers(the toad town ruins) at best case scenario have to deal with them as only the brothers with the weaker bros items unlike in the final area where you have access to powerful bros items and then theres checkpoints just incase you need to restock which i only needed on my first run which was once. Toad town ruins on the other hand doesnt have that and if you run out of items you have to run all the way back to the TT ruins store and backtrack to where you were

    Reasons:
    -Frigging op enemies
    -Said enemies have a lot of free turns
    -Some enemies can cast haste and other buffs on all their allies at once. So they get even more turns.
    -Confusing to navigate. You can go on circles for a long time.

    Some of the grotto bonus dungeons for Dragon Quest IX are pretty irritating for several connected reasons.
    First, the enemies are a lot weaker than the dungeon's boss. A number of bad dungeons do the opposite with super-hard enemies, but too weak enemies have their own issues. Aside from making it hard to gauge the challenge the boss poses (more on that later), if you've leveled up enough to have a decent shot at the boss, the monsters will go down quickly and provide little wealth or experience at this point. so rather than feeling a bit of accomplishment for beating the enemies, they're just a slog you want to get past.
    Second, the treasure chests are generally located on the main route forward and aren't that exciting. This is a problem since Dragon Quest is notorious for winding dungeons with tons of dead ends. Normally, I'm okay with that, because you need to do some exploring anyways to find all the secret treasures. You get to level up a little more fighting enemies before you reach the boss, so all's good. But here, you'll get all the treasure anyways just by getting to the next set of stairs, so the dead ends just become a waste of time.
    Third, the power disparity between the regular enemies and the bosses at the end make it hard to gauge how challenging the fight's going to be. Normally, by the time I've reached the boss, my fights against enemies have helped me figure out if I have a fair chance in the coming fight, or if I need to level up more. Here, you're basically going into the boss fights blind. First time I went through one of the grottos, I was confident in myself due to fighting through the regular monsters without any problems, only to get completely stomped. After that, I made a point of backtracking once I reached the end of the dungeon (and memorizing the way back to avoid dead-end delays), went back to a town and saved before doing the dungeon all over again, in case the boss was too strong.

Save up 90 Beans 🫘, go to the Bean ‘n’ Badge Shop beneath Peach’s Castle 🏰, and buy the infinite Bros Item Badge (I forget what it is called). Anyways, it’s an item that lets whichever character is wearing it use infinite Bros items (ie infinite super attacks) on your enemies so long as you have at least one of said item in your inventory. Just give it to your fastest brother and win practically every battle with a tactical nuke in the first turn.

      Yeah as an endgame enemy, I think it's ok that the soul bubbles are pretty difficult. Maybe if it's the early or midgame, it would be unreasonable to expect the players to take them down. But by the end of the game they should be a decent challenge for a player who has gotten used to the mechanics off the game. Also the clip shows the player perfectly dodging their attacks, so it's not like they are an unfair enemy who can easily get cheap hits on you. Endgame enemies should be fair, but also test your skill, since you've made it that far.

    My personal trauma with DS dungeon has to be sector G from SMT: strange Journey, with the stupid warps, the one way door maze, the feel you are just going trougth the worst parts of the previous dungeons, and to top that, the boss, while it's not the hardest in the game, has the worst gimmick of all, insta-killing you if you cast offensive magic, doubling it's agility with a non-remoubable buff, and spaming the most powerful elemental spells in the game.

      @locoattack1210 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I don't think it's the "fighting" that people have an issue with.
      It's the fact that they are FORCED to do it in excess. When you force a player to do something repetitive a LOT, it can get old, even if you enjoy it in moderation. This is especially true in older RPGs with simpler combat systems. When you're trying to progress through a dungeon, it can get a little old to get random encounters every 3 seconds of walking (example from my personal experience with FFIV Advance).
      Older disc-based consoles are even worse, because then you have load times to contend with. Games like Skies of Arcadia, FFIX and certain other PS1 / PS2 / Gamcube RPGs are horrible for load times and those loads can make each battle take an extra 10-15 seconds, which really adds up when you're just trying to progress.
      Modern games with visible enemies are MUCH better, because you can actively avoid battles if you choose. I recall that Earthbound even had a feature where if you were significantly more powerful than enemies, you just win automatically (neat!).

    I agree with this Golden Sun placement, not with the one in the GBA version though. In those games, the dungeon puzzles were the highlights of the game for me and having longer dungeons with better puzzles was a good thing. Dark Dawn... slightly dropped the ball there, or at least the puzzles felt less interesting in that one. The way that the game ends up in a point of no return situation there is also something that can turn off the inexperienced players who might potentially miss out on a lot of stuff/extras by going there straight when they can.

    Mt. Coronet from pokemon? Carry 2 "hm slave" pokemon with all 8 hms and you can just go through those areas, also keep the exploration until the postgame. Bibarel can learn all hms except fly and have a flying type for the hms it can learn especially if you can get tropius and golduck, but this may require pal park, focus on the objective the first run and then focus on getting the gym for hm fly so you can get around more easily.

    Pretty much what I expected. Definitely not as many candidates with truly gaping flaws here (I would rather run a 10-floor dungeon with visible encounters than a 3-floor with random since Sod's Law ensures that you will be battling every three or four steps with that). Still, Pokemon and the Tales series strike once more. Definitely an ongoing problem with both series.
    For 3DS, my nominees would be YHVH's Universe from Shin Megami Tensei 4: Apocalypse, and either Somnom Woods or Dreamy Wakeport in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team.

    I'd like to hear your thoughts on what constitutes a bad dungeon, but more importantly; what constitutes a good one?

    With length being a bad thing, I'm not so sure.. it's probably a way to pad out playtime for games that don't have FF-tier budgets.
    I would find a dungeon rewarding as long as I get something, it doesn't have to be material, it could simply be interesting dialogue as a result of doing it. In one of these videos you say there was no point to X dungeon because nothing changes in the story, or the villain wins anyway or suchlike (sorry for the vagueness!)
    Wouldn't progress through the game and a continuation thereof be considered a reward?

    Chrono Trigger's bonus dungeons are the worst of any I played on the DS.

Final Fantasy III's last dungeon also deserves to be here (hey, you let Saga 3 show up despite being a remake); FFIII's last dungeon is so bad that it kind of deserves to appear at the top of two system's lists. Also, what about Lunar: Dragon Song? I avoided that game like the plague, but I imagine playing through any dungeon in that game is far worse than some mountains in Pokemon.

    That being said, I usually hate mandatory boss rushes... optionally would be fun though, backtracking on nostalgic battles. Just... don't force it when people just want to beat the final boss man...
    Klonoa Wii and I think Banjo-Tooie are the only examples that come to mind at the moment that make this fun. :p Bomberman Hero is also an odd 50/50 example. It's mandatory before the final boss, but you can also redo it too, and with perfect scores on every level if you want that bonus dungeon. :p (Katia X2 is one of the hardest bosses to speed run and beat at all in the first place though, geez...)
