I'm scared to ask why, from that many topics, it looks like spamming.

Then again, you've made almost 750, I'm assuming, good topics...

It's a turn-based RPG with minimalist graphic styles and quirky humor. It's strange, somewhat long, and overall, I find it to be a pretty darn good game. It's not as rare as everyone thinks, though, as I guarantee you'll find plenty of copies wherever you might want to buy them online. It's price is not justified by how good it is, even though it is pretty cool.

It's one of the better RPGs put out on earlier Nintendo systems.

I've played it, and it was awesome, it has humor and at the same time a dark and interesting story.

It already did. It just wasn't released to the public.

I never liked it actually.


The gameplay was the only thing that threw me off, otherwise it would've been a great game.
Do I need to get the flame shield?

The gameplay is very minimalist and nothing is really superfluous.  It's a perfect example of a traditional turn-based RPG - simple, fast, and requires quick thinking.  The rolling HP bar gives battles more strategy than "level up enough so that you don't die by one boss hit", and the instant kills and running enemies eliminates having to deal with low level monsters when you backtrack, as well as being able to see your enemies on the field.  And the story steps beyond the traditional RPG's that always seem to be set in the Medieval era with castles and dragons and whatnot.

All those games are overrated. Most games are a step down from what people describe them as.
