Amazing how much of the series identity and charm was present right at the start! Also very clever ways to creatively hide secrets despite the tech limitations.

Basically Vagrant Story 2. Great minimalist storytelling with cinematic shots of tabletop figures paired with strong writing. Clever combat mechanics but wonky overall balance. Progression is inscrutable at times, follow a walkthrough. 7 hour RPGs are great, I wish more games like this existed!

A delightful slice-of-life story, with a backdrop of magical realism. The closest I’ve seen to capturing Ghibli vibes in a game.
