Holy shit! What a great game! Oh my god oh my god oh my god. I can't believe I missed growing up with it! Very few games today capture my interests like this did recently. I don't know what it is about it. I'm not saying it's flawless or anything like that, but maaaan. So good! I know, I know. I'm over 15 years late. Okay I can't even organise the paragraph I'm so excited.
I think the soundtrack was a great asset to the game. So good! Um what else. Okay, uh. Graphically, it's pretty impressive. I never had an SNES so I'm not sure whether it's above par (above par? is that good or bad? I mean good in any case) for its usual games or not. The plot, aside from some minor flaws (the characters explaining stuff they logically couldn't have known at the time, for example) and deus ex machina moments (which kind of make sense within the game would, I guess), was nice, particularly the various subplots. I especially liked Magus' story (which is really part of the main story I guess), not to mention his great theme tune. The time travel part was really neat. While the world map isn't that big, you have 5 different eras (not including 1999AD and The End of Time) to explore it in and actions in each preceding era affect future ones so it does end up having quite a bit to look at and do. I know I already said this... but the music is good too. The music associated with Magus, Schala, Zeal and 2300AD was great. What is it with JRPGs, anime
and good music?!
