Here's where the series really starts to get going thanks to a decent set of characters, an overall fun plot and having the game stick to one central location makes for much more nuanced traversal.
That said, theres still a lot of clunk here. The interface needs a touch-up, graphics are still on the wonk side and theres still a lot of needless repetitive fiddling with locks and things that require multiple clicks each time when in reality streamlining the process would be better.
Oh... Also... Dont touch the GBA version. Its fine as a port, everything is present in a surprising manner but theres no in-game saving and the use of a chapter/password system on a game so open-ended doesnt work at all and just ends with random progress losses/gains.
