This game shouldn't have been released. I feel bad complaining about it, because the development of this game must have been hell. This is one of the most obviously unfinished games I've ever played. If you have a JRPG ending that makes Grandia 2/3's look like Final Fantasy 6's, I have to assume someone leading your hit new JRPG project of 1998 passed away tragically. I think that the setting for Quest 64 could have worked really well, the 10 percent of the game that we got that wasn't quickly patched up to shove out the door was decent if not outright good. It's just such a slog to travel down all these empty hallways for way too goddamn long without anything but bland random encounters to break up the monotony.

It's one of those games you play and afterwards you just feel pity.
