pure otaku

fun story and characters, some of the worst gameplay ever

ok gameplay loop but not good enough to make up for the shitty story. not bothering with the postgame content.

having never played the original, i have zero nostalgia for it and deliberately held off on playing it once the remake was announced. a simple, well-paced entry level RPG with great music. it's a bit short but never overstays its welcome. isometric platforming always manages to fuck with my head...

i have vivid memories of watching lowres lets plays of this game on youtube circa 2006-7 at my local library on the weekends because we were too poor to have internet at home lol

are u even homies if u didn't dance together in warioware: smooth moves (2006)

back in 2003 when you got stuck on a level without online walkthroughs at your fingertips you brute forced your way to the last level using the goated password function

what do you mean doc, all the best stuff is made in japan!

part ii enemies are fucking insane

this game was literally my bible in 2012

severely lacking in content compared to the (3)DS games

premium offline games with pseudo-gacha mechanics are fucking awful

better to audit than to be audited 😔
