There's a sad irony that in 2023, despite its position as an entry level RPG, Super Mario RPG has deeper mechanics than mainline Final Fantasy.
This was my first proper playthrough after playing about half of the SNES version years ago. It's a great game that is fun to play in spite of its extremely simple gameplay. Shorter RPGs are my jam, so I was pleasantly surprised when it ended around the 10 hour mark, albeit rather abruptly.
It's cult status is easily apparent from the opening minutes; it has a daring creativity and wit that you don't see in modern Nintendo titles, I hope this remake inspires a similar approach in future Mario RPG games.
