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...

once my "favorite game of all time" but upon replaying, i found it far too easy. still had a hell of a time and it was the reason i finally upgraded my NSO membership

hasn't aged a day and still one of the most gorgeous games ever made

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

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

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

sunk hundreds of hours into this but RNG hell still managed to keep me single. thank god for the switch version.

this game was literally my bible in 2012

looks ugly but fixes every single problem that made the 3DS version a pain in the ass.

a visual treat with an online experience so rewarding and fun i wish there were more puzzle stages. bit sadistic of nintendo bust out the autoscrolling final stage.
