It's a different style of gameplay and one I'm prepared to acknowledge some people might be inclined to prefer.

Though if you were cool you'd like Soulblazer / Illusion of Gaia more than either of those.

Eh Secret of Mana kicks Soulblazer and Gaia's asses, SoM 3 is even better. Now Terranigma, that's what the cool kids liked. By cool kids I mean Europe and PAL, cause you guys never got it for some insane and beautiful reason.

Meh, Dragon Quest V kicks all those pretender's arses.

Dragon Quest is over hyped.

You're overhyped.

Aside from the ending, Illusion of Gaia was one of the best games I've ever played. Also, having the same name as the purple fruitcup that gets eaten by a whale and goes all Obi-Wan Kenobi all over the place didn't help matters at all.

Sadly, I never found a playable copy of Soulblazer. I had to settle for just beating up on one of the bosses from it.

P.S. WTF happened to the wheel-menu system, and games like Illusion, Evermore, mana, trigger? I know it's a common rant, and the times and systems are different, but still. It wouldn't be that hard. Even Breath of Fire had one *decent* port to the Playstation. I miss my RPGs =(

Damn straight. Any game with the quote "My dear, you're leaking! ...Mmm Salty." Is a winner in my books.

Also, Chrono Trigger is awesome. It's what taught me how to draw. (or at least started the process, with the super-awesome-never-before-seen-by-human-eyes Chrono Trigger comic I worked on. (ugh, it's hideous (the only one that is good is the last picture, and that's because I used a reference ^^; ))

The only bad thing about Chrono Trigger is that when I bought it, I had to chose between it and Earthbound, which made me lose my chance to buy Earthbound for <$10. (although I did get Chrono Trigger for $6, which is a nice deal.)

I agree, that ending was kind of fuckin' retarded.

I want to see more of that.

That said, I find you being a Dalton fangirl being somewhat disturbing. Weird.

Hey, you can't have too many bishies.
