(sonic's ultimate genesis collection 19/40)
this was, shockingly good after playing phantasy star II. far more lenient, far more fun, and most of all just far more captivating. the characters are all memorable and interesting to get to know, and it led to some honestly pretty touching moments, which in II were kind of negated because nobody was really fleshed out enough to get attached to. the games are about the same length i think, but certainly didn't feel like it bc grinding in particular has been toned down a lot in comparison. there are still moments of it, but the macro feature and also just better exp from enemies makes it go a lot smoother now.
overall was very, very pleasantly surprised by this game, and it is truthfully one of the strongest i've come across in the collection so far. i could see it staying that way, but we'll see.
i still have III to do lol. that game looks like dogwater
