trying to jack off posted:that one hit me hard since i only recently finished the game I'm curious to what you thought of the game It's absolutely one of my favorites, like top ten ever, but I played it when I was 13 so I'm not sure if it was nostalgia or if it's really that good so tell me what you thought I used to have an illusion of Gaia coffee mug I ordered from Nintendo that my parents threw out years ago and apparently goes for $120 on ebay these days

like, i would not recommend Illusion of Gaia someone who didn't grow up playing SNES, but i don't think it's just nostalgically good, it's just a product of its time that is hard to understand now.

Aw I thought the puzzles were good, especially that spot the differences one that gave you a little mouse pointer The red jewels stuff was ridiculous but that's why the manual showed you all of them I used to have the German release of the game because it came in a huge earthbound sized box Germany also had big box versions of super metroid and secret of Mana as well

Yeah the bosses were great. They actually changed a boss entirely for the US version and he was way harder and more fun to play. So they made boss fights in the game a big deal The craziest poo poo is that I can't find anyone who worked on the game having worked on anything before or after. Even the amazing musical composer did absolutely nothing before or after the game wtf

I emulated all these back to back like in middle school when i first discovered ZSNES (or SNES9x? don't remember) and Terranigma loving blew my mind with all the real world locations and how the whole game was one big "town building mini game" which is the best part of any RPG edit: I literally remember nothing about the spells or the combat or the skill system or anything though lol. Just being amazed that you could meet Albert Einstein and stuff

that sounds like quintet, like in Soul Blazer, you're basically trying to rescue Leonardo DaVinci, and also kind of want to bone his daughter. i really am saving Terranigma for my deathbed.

tbh i read that one stupid article my freshman of college and got obsessed with Illusion of Gaia so much that i had to make myself stop playing it forever, and now i have a rule that i am only allowed to play it every five years.

if i were going to do that then i'd probably just play without a walkthrough and then use a game genie code or a savestate to get the gems at the very end. playing an SNES arpg by slavishly following a walkthrough seems miserable.

like "Turn left, then walk, clockways, and around in a circle until you a pillar, then go toward the red thing - underneath, you'll find a potion" is misery, i just like a list of important missables and save states for games where if you walk left instead of right, you miss the chance to do bonus content.

considering im the person who has actually played terranigma, and recently at that, you should play without a guide. youll know what to do on the second run and wont miss anything. half of the fun is trying to discover things and seeing how the world works...

i mean, i'll trust you on terranigma because i've never played it, but there is no reason not to find a simple checklist of red gems for illusion of gaia and just make sure you get them the first time through if you don't want to miss the bonus dungeon with the Soul Blazer boss, rather than playing through the entire game a second time because you forgot to talk to a cloaked guy in freejia that you had to find a secret pathway to a rooftop before you moved on to the next dungeon. it's not zelda or metroid, where you can crawl around the game forever after you beat it looking for stuff to collect and it doesn't really matter if you missed things because it just means you have less health or fewer weapons, it's "did you turn left or right here?" in a scavenger hunt for 50 things that gatelock an entire dungeon. i love the game, i've played it dozens of times, but your average person is either going to find a list of the missables or just say "gently caress it" to the Solid Arm dungeon. not everybody wants to play through a game blind multiple times for a scavenger hunt where some of the stuff on your list is permanently missable based on branching choices.
