Been dealing with some health problems lately so I'm too sick to work on my own projects but instead have a lot of time for bucket list games. Can't complain (too much).

Terranigma is one of the several "good vibes" SNES games. Others include Chrono Trigger, Soul Blazer, Secret of Evermore, EVO... probably more. But they're the best type of nostalgia imo. Only a few other PS1 games come close to that feel. Can't really describe what that feel actually is, but if you know you know I'd say.

I've tried beating Terranigma twice, but I lost interest about halfway once and the other I think I got stuck on Bloody Mary (that's the boss that everyone complains about so I think that was probably it).

This game is beautiful though. Graphics and music is absolute top notch for the system. Might even be my favorite at times. I don't mind being sick so much if I have Ark as company.

The Bloody Mary fight actually suffers from a bad translation issue. Looking forward to the Terranigma retranslation for sure. Feel better soon!

Oof hope its not serious, Feel better soon!

The artstyle + covert art really speaks to me. Despite not playing it yet.
Get well soon! I haven't played Terranigma but I know it's got some weird spiritual themes and such that is par de course for Quintet iirc. Graphics do look absolutely beautiful, and that cover art is just amazing.

I have a distinct memory of playing through this while very sick, it's a great game to play while recovering. The themes of healing and revival helped keep my mood/morale up at the time, I was stuck on that boss for a few days. Get well soon
