To nobody's surprise this game is still a banger.
Super Mario RPG hits a sweet spot for me, though that much just be the nostalgia goggles talking. This is a short and easy RPG that doesn't overstay it's welcome in any regard. You'll find its pacing fast and fluid, making it accessible to play without tiring you out and also being an easy entry point to RPGs for those new to the genre or young kids who might not be able to grasp your final fantasies and dragon quests of the world just yet.
World design good, music is GODLIKE (Yoko Shimamura continues to be one of the best to ever do it), writing is fun, gameplay is fluid. Not much else you could ask for in a game like this. I listened to the OG music most of the game, did a few secrets, and mourned the fact that Geno and Mallow are not in more stuff. I didn't touch the post-game, I'll save it for another time. HIGHLY recommend this game if you want a short and sweet RPG with a lovable world that you can knock out over a week. #GenoForSmash
