Genuinely asking how many people actually played this game? I have fond memories of it.

    The battle system was really clever and unique. 

    I think it was just held down by early 3D, because they had like full cities and towns and the whole world designed.  

    It just wasn’t tied together very well because all the design decisions in today’s games weren’t really invented yet. 

    I think a similar game would do really well today if designed better, like NPCs actually telling you where to go instead of cryptic hints lol.

    I played this and loved it. I just wish there was a mod to get the Japanese update changes into the english version (or a translation of the Japanese version at least).

    Watched a video on it, honestly want to try it at some point since the battle system looks pretty neat.

    I remember playing it. It was a fun game! Never did beat it, though.

    Spent a lot of time on this one. Fun times

    I remember reading that you could level up all elements at the same time by hitting all the yellow C buttons at once but I was never able to do it 🙁

    I remember me and my sister wanted to get Banjo Kazooi, but our dad insisted we’d like this one more. He played it more than we did. Haha. But it really was pretty fun

    I loved exploring its world and finding the hidden area like the pyramid…

    But the story was so crap. The n64 really just… Was not friendly at all to the RPGs I loved on the SNES.

    When I was a kid, I got to pick between this and Ocarina of time. I picked Ocarina thinking I’d come back to the store to get this game but never did. Never really regretted it either.

    I rented this back in the days of Blockbuster, left me feeling glad I didn’t buy it.

    I vaguely recall the following frustrations, I could be misremembering:

    1) The power of your magic in combat was tied to finding permanent power ups hidden in hard to find spots.

    2) When you found such a power up, you had to select which element of your magic to put the power up, and you couldn’t refund them once committed.

    3) If you fought an enemy resistant to the magic you put most of your power ups into, you were kinda screwed.

    I played it on the 64 after pledging to complete every SNES RPG and couldn’t stomach it.

    I also didn’t finish the first goal. There are a loooooooot of snes RPGs

  12. This game right here was my introductory course to RNG and statistics.

    It also taught me that no amount of superstition could trump resource hoarding

    Rented it from blockbuster a few times. Was fun as a kid. Watched a game play retrospective on it a while back.

    Oh damn I rented this game multiple times to beat it.
