once when i was like 11 or 12 or something i was at this christian summer camp and some kid was being mean to me and making fun of me etc and i got mad and picked up a small rock from the ground and threw it at his back and a bunch of camp counselors saw and i got in trouble and one of the counselors sat me down and said what i did wasnt very christ like and made me feel guilty about it and i cried about it all day. and then for about a week or two i tried to atone for my sins by reading the bible but it was the old timey king james translation and it didnt really make sense to me so i gave up and became an atheist. so i relate to james in that sense

It is a timeless classic, one of the best turn-based strategy RPGs, which is still worth playing today also because of its deeply mature and well-curated storyline. The improvements made, starting with the graphical revamp to go into more detail in aspects of gameplay and overall experience, make it a new game in some ways, but never far from its roots. The difficulty of the battles inevitably leads to a loop whereby you train up to the level cap and then continue with the story, and there is no denying that this mechanic slows down progression, but the pace is still more brisk than in the past. If on the surface it does not deviate from the many strategy games out there, where it shines is in highly refined micro-management that, now more than ever, allows us to experiment and be in control of almost every aspect to shape our adventure.
