(For the arcade Rhythm Game of the same name, please see Nostalgia (BEMANI)).Nostalgia, originally released in Japan as Nostalgio no Kaze (ノスタルジオの風, Nosutarujio no Kaze, lit. "Wind of Nostalgio"), is a role-playing video game developed by Red Entertainment and Matrix Software for the Nintendo DS handheld system. Initially released in November 2008 for Japanese audiences by Tecmo, an English version of the game was officially announced for North America by Ignition Entertainment for a October 2009 release. The game's development was headed by producer Keisuke Kikuchi, with programming and three-dimensional graphics by Matrix Software, who had previously developed Square Enix's Nintendo DS versions of Final Fantasy III and Final Fantasy IV.Taking place in an alternate reality steampunk version of the 19th Century, the game follows Eddie, a London boy and son of a great adventurer as he and his friends travel the world in an airship in search of his missing father. The game features both standard Turn-Based Combat and aerial battles between the player's customizable airship, the Maverick, and enemy airships. The player's party, consisting of Eddie, the Street Urchin Pad, a witch named Melody and the mysterious Fiona travel to such places as New York City, Cairo, Tokyo, Northern Europe and South America.The game follows The Grand List of Console Role Playing Game Clichés to a tee, most likely on purpose in order to invoke nostalgia of old school NES and SNES generation RPGs. Whether it's successful or not is a subject of debate. Though the narrative is certainly nothing new, the gameplay is simple and fun, and there are plenty of sidequests and other optional content to keep players occupied.NOT to be confused with Nostalgia Filter or The Nostalgia Critic, or the Konami Rhythm Game of the same title. |

Awesome, but Impractical |
| | Nostalgia (Red Entertainment) (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae |
comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: The Combination Attack skills each character gets as the plot unfolds. Sure, they're the strongest single attacks in the game and they hit every enemy on the field, but they also cost roughly 50 MP when few skills in the game crest the 20 MP mark and an endgame party won't have more than 300 maximum MP per character. Dead Shot borders on this, as fully powered-up, it has a very good - roughly 75% - chance to instantly kill a non-boss enemy, which is invaluable in the final areas and Bonus Dungeon... but it's one of the more expensive skills to power up, and there's a good chance you've already discredited it by that point as a Useless Useful Spell. |

Game-Breaking Bug |
| | Nostalgia (Red Entertainment) (Video Game) / int_33ca811a |
comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: The now-infamous Albion glitch, where the second part of a Sequential Boss refuses to spawn on some cartridges, making the game Unwinnable on that cart, no matter how many times the game is restarted. Considering that said boss shows up about 2/3rds through the game - about fifteen hours in, give or take - and there's no other way of telling if a cart has the glitch, the Albion glitch has ruined the game for many players. |

Bonus Dungeon |

comment |
Bonus Dungeon: A particularly nasty one, where you fight not only hideously powerful normal enemies, but if you wear equipment or use skills that lower the random encounter rate? You also run a higher risk of encountering powered-up versions of every boss in the game, including the final boss. Oh, and did we mention that every boss-type enemy in the post-game has at least twice as many HP and does twice as much damage on average as the final boss? |

Heroes Prefer Swords: Eddie. This is especially notable as only a handful other characters in-game actually seem to use swords. Two are minions of the Big Bad, one is an Anti-Hero Sky Pirate, and one is the hero's father. The other explorers and adventurers in-game are hinted to use firearms or nothing at all. |

Gameplay and Story Segregation: In a cut scene after one Hopeless Boss Fight, Melody comments that her attacks aren't doing anything. If any other character said this it would be fine (all physical attacks automatically missed against this boss)... but Melody's magic was the only thing doing any damage against the boss, making it a bit jarring that she's the one to comment. |

Disney Death: Gilbert pulls this off so often that it turns the Sorting Algorithm of Mortality on its head thanks to being the parent of a protagonist. This also means his Heroic Sacrifice later in the game loses all dramatic effect. |

Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards: Inverted. Magic starts out quite effective, but by the end of the game, Melody (the party's designated mage) ends up typically throwing out healing items, which end up being more effective than what Fiona can heal with her magic, leaving her to simply exist for the sole purpose of giving Eddie more turns. |

Fantasy World Map |
| | Nostalgia (Red Entertainment) (Video Game) / int_a139f52b |
comment |
Fantasy World Map: Averted. The World Map in Nostalgia is an abridged Alternate History of Earth's. The creators take a few liberties with some locations though. Doubles as a Shown Their Work: later in the game you gain the ability to find World Treasures, similar to the "Discoveries" in Skies of Arcadia, and many of them are based directly on real-life landmarks... and are shockingly accurate in placement. It's the one instance where Google Maps actually functions fairly well as an impromptu guide. Which is helpful, since the NPCs that tell you about them are painfully vague in their locations. Triples - possibly - as a Shout-Out: The one biggest snafu with a World Treasure is the Bezeklik Thousand Buddha Caves, which are actually in China, appearing in western Kazakhstan, roughly 3000 miles west. This could be seen as a nod to Skies of Arcadia (as they were made by the same developers), whose biggest Guide Dang It! Discovery was a townsperson who notified you of a Discovery that was much further west than he actually said. While the map of the world does have wrap-around (ie. fly east of Japan and you'll end up in California), it doesn't work properly for a round world. Fly south of New Zealand and you'll end up in... North Korea? |

Dead Shot borders on this, as fully powered-up, it has a very good - roughly 75% - chance to instantly kill a non-boss enemy, which is invaluable in the final areas and Bonus Dungeon... but it's one of the more expensive skills to power up, and there's a good chance you've already discredited it by that point as a Useless Useful Spell. |

Red full-length coat, arguably British, blonde-haired teen named Edward? Not familiar at all, nosiree. Melody also looks a lot like Lina, and likes throwing fire around. |

Combination Attack |
| | Nostalgia (Red Entertainment) (Video Game) / int_e69e12b2 |
comment |
The Combination Attack skills each character gets as the plot unfolds. Sure, they're the strongest single attacks in the game and they hit every enemy on the field, but they also cost roughly 50 MP when few skills in the game crest the 20 MP mark and an endgame party won't have more than 300 maximum MP per character. |

comment |
Cool Airship: These are so common it's your only means of transportation in this game. Furthermore attack ships not only fire guns and cannons and magically charged orbs on it, many ships (including the party's) have a BFS attached to the front gan impale other ships by flying into them (without even taking collateral damage). |

Who Wants to Live Forever? |

comment |
Who Wants to Live Forever?: Played straight and toyed with in the case of Magi. Somehow related to her Psychic Powers, she describes herself as a 'broken clock', and suggests her powers and her improbable age are applications of being cursed with Time Stands Still. Toyed with in that near the end of the plot, it's suggested that the party has somehow allowed her to start aging again. |

comment |
Disc-One Final Dungeon: The Mt. Fuji base fills every point of this trope except The Reveal and the presence of the Big Bad, who never actually shows his face until near the very last dungeon. While something is revealed, it's a much smaller plot point than some of the later reveals. |

comment |
Hopeless Boss Fight: All the first two fights against Carmine the Invincible and the first fight against Yang Gui. Even though they WOULD be potentially winnable, pushing down the bosses' monstrous HP before the game's script kicks in absolutely requires a cheating device. And breaks the game. |

comment |
Doubles as a Shown Their Work: later in the game you gain the ability to find World Treasures, similar to the "Discoveries" in Skies of Arcadia, and many of them are based directly on real-life landmarks... and are shockingly accurate in placement. It's the one instance where Google Maps actually functions fairly well as an impromptu guide. Which is helpful, since the NPCs that tell you about them are painfully vague in their locations. |
