Surprised by how much I liked this game even without playing the other 3 in the series. I might have missed a few references but it was easy to pick up what happened in the others. The setting was amazing and I really enjoyed the story for about 80% of it. Combat was decent especially if you don't grind which seems to be a common theme in past jrpgs. Overall it was a nice short jrpg almost 30 years old now.
