Years ago, when I just started playing Toram, I met a low-level guy grinding that Crystal boss. I was a newbie, completely new to both Toram and MMOs, so I asked him to team up with me. We ended up playing for hours that day, leveling up, grinding stuff together and just chatting in broken english. In the end, he changed his character to a really high level one, wich took me completely by surprise, cuz I had no clue about different characters system. Turns out, he was just leveling his new character and was happy to accompany me on my journey. He gave me some really useful tips and even gifted me armor and weapons for a start. We didn't play much after that, but this memory still warms my heart whenever I remember about Toram.

"let's play toram online and hope my wife from another game doesn't find out" is the name of an isekai anime you didn't expect to make you cry, but it did regardless

Too bad he didn't find out that you can make a second character and use that second character as an AI teammate, he could have fixed the relationship with his wife... Or cheated on her with another bad MMO wife

I didn't think a game with graphics that looks like it's out of PS1 would make me think "wow that place looks cool, " but here we are.

You're right, Josh. This isn't Final Fantasy 14.

*It's Final Fantasy 11.*

ah yes, Toram Online, the story wants you to become an adventurer, but the reality, you ended up being a farmer and blacksmiths instead of warrior

I'm quite sad he never got to discover the evasion dashes mechanic. That alone changes the game from "farm 5 hours for potions so you can farm a boss 1 hour" to "learn to dodge with the dash and you dont need potions"

10 yrs ago living in a highschool dormitory with only a shitty smartphone this was the best game ever

By the way, if you guys don't know, this game is a goddamn sequel to a game that's not done yet called Iruna Online. Hence if you boot up the game it says "Toram Online Departure from Iruna"

[suthor]

there is actually hidden (since the game never teach u directly how) fundamental mechanic on the game that u probably wont ever discover without reading guide like statting equipment. its basically let u put almost all unique stat on ur weapon and armor(like atk% critrate and critdamage) with some math calculating that let u minmaxing whole character build stat and this is something that i never seen on any MMO or any game even.

Asobimo vet here, only headache from playing their games is usually post story which involves community driven economy and party specific setups for certain boss/raids/farms. Harder levels usually requires this, in Toram Online’s case post level 100 you’d want to have a party specific setup to fight certain bosses/farm since difficulty ramps up from there on, with a small community sometimes its hard to find parties in global/local chat. Otherwise, fun game when played with friends since the game gets super strategic in some point

I played Toram Online for a little bit on my phone a good time ago. When I was homeless but had a job. I was just able to afford to eat, have a gym membership for showers, able to buy food, but not enough to rent a room or a place to stay. It was pretty fun, I suppose. But now it just gives me a very sad feeling, but a somehow familiar, friendly feeling.

What I really like about toram is that it highly encourages to use the multiplayer/mercenary system, especially in the later stages of the game. While you can very much enjoy the game alone, the most challenging stages are better done in a group, and by adding other players to your friend list their mercenary hire fee becomes 0. Met a lot of cool people on this game when I was a kid and I still go back to take a look at the game sometimes, it's nice to see that it still has a very active playerbase.

"So you can still be oneshot killed"
Oooh boi, you have no idea how often that happened to me as a Halberd dps main
1 miss timed dodge or skill and you are gone for good in most late game bosses

i thought it was a joke, but hatsune miku really is in magic the gathering now.

19:18 Fun fact about the death mechanic! Apart from the struggle button, your party members can choose to "heal" your character at the expense of MP. This doesn't outright revive you but rather it drastically shortens the time it takes for you to Revive on your own.

So during boss encounters, you have an option whether to prioritize damaging the boss or saving a downed teammate.

Been waiting for this one. Toram is an amazing game that's held back by the fact that it's an MMO. It wasn't my first mmo, but it is my last. I don't think I will ever play an mmo again. Wish all my fellow straye the best.
