a fun time for sure, I recognise that this game isn't incredibly written or has amazing map design or anything like that, but nevertheless I found myself growing attached to these characters and having fun playing through the whole campaign, I wasn't taking it super seriously so whenever the game hit me with actually good stuff it was always a treat, and I felt like the game was trying to be a silly goofy romp anyway so I basically immediately vibed with it and had a great time as a result
playing the game normally did lead to it being a little too easy for my tastes because I was locked into Eliwood normal mode but I definitely want to go back for Hector hard mode and see how the game feels when it's more demanding of me, which I can see making my appreciation for it grow substantially
I'll admit it's a bit of a guilty pleasure game for me, although I should maybe do away with such a concept altogether
