There's no way you could make a Fire Emblem game like this now. You can make a hard Fire Emblem game, sure, but not one that is this scrappy and seat of your pants. There's no other Fire Emblem game like it. It's so busted. It's a ROM hack with the polish of an official product and therein lies it's charm.

The game has some of the absolute strongest map design in the series. The gameplay, story and map fusion is exceptionally strong. However, it can come at the cost of the chapters feeling reliant on gimmicks or pretty much requiring a warp skip to beat. Still, the gameplay lends itself to truly incredible moments and overall provides many ways to play and beat maps (even if you really gotta be capturing those warp staves and killing edges).

If there's one gripe I have about the game it is about how underutilized the cast feels. Some characters feel like they are introduced but aren't really given enough back story or time to shine. Unfortunately, some characters can also be basically disposable despite the fatigue mechanic.

Overall, I loved playing Thracia even if it would drive me mad with its difficultly. I can only pray for a remake that is able to polish and improve upon such a truly unique game and make it more accessible to modern audiences. In the mean time, you'll just have to play this any way you can.

I played Nocturne and Digital Devil Saga games. And i played all Persona games(Except Eternal Punishment). I like this series and i was curios for first game. I was expecting a boring game. Or rather, I was expecting a slow-paced and very outdated game. But surprisingly the game is still fun. Because the battles are very fast, unless you are in the open world, the battle screen does not enter at the moment of encounter with the loading screen. You fight directly and it ends very quickly. There are many factors that make the game practical, and I know that the Playstation 1 version also contributes to this, so I am giving my score based on this version (I also played it a little on SNES).

Remember when Mario Kart 8, one of the most successful videogames ever made, featured 2 circuits inspired by F-zero and people still considered some of the best racetracks they ever played?

There is a reason for that. F-zero is more than a racing game: it's an absolute masterful ride. It's like the most adrenaline inducing and blood pumping rollercoaster you even jumped on, a game so bombastic in everything it does that it will make you come back over and over again.

If you are new to the series it can result brutal and extremely unforgiving, but the presentation, the addictive gameplay, the hyperactive energy it has in its characters, soundtrack and extremely energetic moments makes you come back.

F-zero GX specifically was the result of an "alliance" between Nintendo, Bandai Namco and SEGA, and you can feel the flavors the third party companies put into the series and this gem, which presents the same enthrilling speed of a Sonic game and the same exagerated but also goofy energy of a Tekken game.

One of the best games from the Gamecube era. Nintendo should sue itself for not porting this masterpiece on modern consoles.

Oh man, Square Enix, why have you forsaken this IP and won't give us a port, a remaster or even a remake of this amazing game :D Xenogears, even if it's obviously unfinished, is a fucking masterpiece. The themes addressed here are simply not found in current JRPGs which is super unfortunate. Among other things, it deals with the abuse of religion and power, human experimentation, racism, metaphysics and much more. The soundtrack is one of the best I've ever heard (Mitsuda at his best), the combat system (or rather combat systemS) is innovative and fun, the characters are almost all very well written and the story is the big highlight of this game. Unfortunately disc 2 really isn't finished but also not as bad as its reputation and yes, the story is completed and finished, only some passages aren't playable and are presented as a slide show.

The game is phenomenal, it's amazing that Square was capable of producing something like this in the past.
