one of those rare games that actually deserves the insane amount of hype it gets. even if it isn't perfect. should be a must-play for anyone who considers themselves a fan of jrpgs, but anyone who would say that has already played this before.

é simplesmente o melhor rpg que existe

Eu poderia dissertar sobre, mas não é necessário. És o jogo do milênio.

E, se esta é a verdade de que valeis a vida?
Lucca... Você me ensinou essas emoções. Quando vocês modificam vidas, essas vidas fortalecem vocês. Porém, se desistirem de elevar os seus potenciais, vocês nunca vencerão... Quanto a mim, tudo o que posso fazer é apreciar este espetáculo daqui. Obrigado. https://youtu.be/cFK8fhTsViU?si=n6NWAIhrS1DQ3lX-

what can I say that hasn't been said before, this is peak storytelling in gaming, a boundless unending memory through time. Good ass music too

This game gets a lot of praise from all sorts of people and before playing I didnt really understand why that was, it just seemed like another standard JRPG to me.

Man was I wrong, this game has everything. The music, the story, the artstyle, and surprisingly even the combat are top notch. Playing this for the first time changed my brain chemistry in a way that can only be explained to someone else who has also experienced this masterpiece. Absolutely a 10/10 game, maybe an 11/10 even.

Now Square Enix make either a 3D HD Remake or one on the style of DQXI.

About the only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is that I really feel like this was a game you needed to experience when it was fresh and new. Playing this as an adult in the Year of our Luigi 2024 I think "wow, it's easy to see why this was so formative for many people". Playing it in 1995 as a young person must have been absolutely mind blowing.

What sins this game has are hardly unique to it, mainly that only the boss fights are allowed to be interesting and the final dungeon is way too long. All the other fundamental aspects are incredibly solid. The boss fights are good and the art direction and music are wonderful.

What I think was refreshing was how straightforward the story was. JRPGs have this reputation for being sprawling and convoluted, but you can finish this one in under 20 hours. Despite being a time travel narrative all the events flow in an understandable fashion. And yet despite this there's still room for decision making, sidequests and secrets to explore and even a whole wealth of extra endings to try for.
