It's not often that someone come and succeed to outplay Nintendo at one of their core series. But Konami did with this one.
Some think that the GBA/DS Igavania are even superior, but imo, Symphony of the Night is still the very best 2D Metroid-like game ever made. It's beautiful, somehow scary and intimidating, hypnotising, accessible... A masterpiece that everyone must play.

Some good ideas ahead of its time, but very confusing. Not really a fun game to grind without a guide.
The story and events are a huge step up coming from the first game though, very impressive for the time it was released.

A masterpiece... Weird, emotional, cute, fun, hypnotic... A must play for any japanese video game fan.

Got bored of it pretty quickly.

This game gives you the classic "growing out in the countryside" friendship experience.
You got the homophobic friend, the sex offender friend, the repressed gay friend, the horny friend that wants to fuck to pass time, the friend that always hangs out with a gun... It has it all.

Worst gameplay in the series, but best writting. One of Suda's best actually.
Good OST as always. A must play for Suda's fans, even if the action segments overstay their welcome. It makes the game way longer that it needs to be.

Some good moments, but overall pretty disappointing.
By far the most fun to actually play it in the series, but... Why no more actual levels ? It's just a series of arena fights during the whole game.
The characterization of most of the bosses are very disappointing. They're just boring morons who have nothing interesting to say. The Midori level is by far the best part of the game, and a good callback for hardcore Suda fans who even know about his never released in the west games.

A formative classic. Took the best of the first game, and greatly expanded on it. A very ambitious adventure for its time, a ton of different classes, a huge world, cute characters, interesting story for its time... The first big Final Fantasy game. A must play to understand everything that came next in the series.
2006
Back when video games meant something. Classic. Best launch console game ever.
2012
Fucking weird ass game. Depressing mood and world, fucking fire gameplay.
1991
Wonderful game with great dungeons, great characters, and a nice little story with some (small) nuances in the characters.
An important one in the series.

Fantastic job system, but ultimately the game failed to keep me entertain because of weird pacing and imo not so good dungeon design in comparison to IV.
Also, the story and characters is a huge step back from IV. Hell, I even got more entertained by the story of III.
A shame cause the job system is fun (even if grindy if you want to max a few for each characters)

Immaculate mood. Karen best wife in the series.
THE GOAT ! THE ABSOLUTE GOAT OF ALL FARMING GAMES ! STARDEW VALLEY, RUNE FACTORY 4, EVEN A WONDERFUL LIFE, THEY CAN ALL GO BACK HOME !
Good regular farming system. Nothing too crazy, but it's good. Got the good of what came before, and got rid of the bad.
Good characters ! Lacking in social events and heart events... But only in order to get the BEST family system in the whole series. Yes, even better than A Wonderful Life ! You get two kids ! They grow up ! They actually help in the farm ! Some great family events ! Birthdays !
Cool pets !
Fucking beautiful world !
Rival marriage and they get kids too !
