I went my whole life hearing that this game is one of the very best SNES games and the best Mario RPG. I never seriously tried to sit down and play it until the remake and found that it's um, boring?

You walk forward and fight the most braindead simple and easy JRPG battles I've ever experienced. Locations are generic and bland, and I thought that the villains being a sort of other worldly force was neat but there's so little personality anywhere that I'm just so bored with the game that I'm putting it down for a while after Booster Tower. Genuinely gobsmacked at how many people say this is better than The Thousand Year Door.

the music is amazing though obviously
