Weird Ghargav Series find on Java

[u/H2O_Addict03]

Found this while browsing through old Java games to play. I'm pretty sure this is The Legend of Heroes: Tears of Vermilion of the PSP version right? Is this a legit port to Java? Because I know back then many games make Java version of their games lol.

That's very much the original (well, Windows version so technically the second release) graphics and battle interface, not the PSP one, though the portraits are from the latter. There were multiple Chinese-language ports of the game but none to Java to my (admittedly limited) knowledge of non-Japanese/English versions. I would assume this is not a legit port based entirely on the fact that the subtitle is obviously not the Chinese equivalent to 朱紅い雫 and the Frankenstein's Monster mix of graphical elements. Which isn't to say it's not an interesting find.

Yep I believe that as well. When I first saw it I was like what am I looking at?? Weird place to find a Nihon Falcom game that's for sure.

I feel like I saw old man from 5th pic in RPG Maker.
