Little did I know that a game I bought because the artwork on the gem case looked cool would turn out to be one of my favorite RPGs of all time, still living rent free in my brain 20+ years after I initially played it.
For those wanting to experience this game in a more modern setting, they're giving it a remaster and re-releasing on steam and switch, including an update on the translation, which would be my only real knock against this gem. It wasn't as horrible as some of the worst offenders at the time, but it could...Certainly have been improved.
But the core of the experience remained in this game, which is a JRPG which is NOT 'teenagers go and kill god', but rather one based on politics and intrigue. So you know. Relatable reasons. Its a game with so many well placed twists and betrayals and reveals that 20 years later I still don't want to spoil them. It also includes one of most memorable villains in any game ever, Luca Blight.
You can also hire a detective who can look into the background of a unicorn that joined your party, and he complains about what went wrong in his life to lead him to this juncture.
