I don't get why people don't like this game, it's a masterpiece.
Most people do like it.

>>12622765It's good but it's also very janky and the story is mangled.
>>12623606>playing an early 90s JRPG for the storyThe jank gives it a charm and challenge not present in other games.
>>12622765the grind for the fully leveled weapons is fucking brutal. fun game though, 8/10 easy
>>12622765>I don't get why people don't like this gamebecause 90% of your time is spent reopening wheel menus
>>12623867>playing a JRPG
it insists upon itself
>gameplay is 10 different kinds of jank and barely functioning patchwork>half the story was removed in the translation, not to mention everything that was cut when the SNES-CD addon was scrappedI'm glad you like it but don't try to pass it off as an objectively decent game thx bye.
>>12622765I prefer the magic system of Evermore but love both. I wish there were more games with that sense of adventure and immersion.
>>12622765it is just a generic jrpg, you played one you played them all
>>12622765Being an action rpg with enemies that can hit you with spells no matter what, is big gay.
The downer ending. Mage boy just vanishes, which also means every other mana creature does as well, like Flammie. There is no chemistry between boy+girl (who has also lost her bf). The mana tree is gone. It's all-around misery, really.
>>12622765The main boss battle theme is one of the very best pieces of music ever made for any game, ever. Musically, the piece itself is fast, entertaining, and memorable. Thematically, its progression perfectly indicates and mirrors what the new player is experiencing. Boss battle (rapid minor melodic stings), boss dishes out damage (rapid drum machine effect), oh no oh god heal, pause, manage a bit, figure out boss' gimmick, regroup, battle to a win (the major "comeback" phrase)The last time I played it many years ago, I honestly found the last dungeon dull, and not as interesting as in early childhood. I also came to realize that the weapon-pumping quest >>12623882 was ultimately pointless and stupid (something about 8.99 vs 9.01+, I never cared to examine further). I like the wheel menu, and the first two thirds or so are fun IMO. Also a few VERY strong pieces of music, including the main title theme.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0IJPzf4mO0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y20pc_0zFgg
