Is there something wrong with me or what? I'm playing the DS remake of this game and I'm stunned how good it is. And I'm even more stunned when I look at its release date, 1992.
I'm playing it, still in childhood part, dam it is good. Won't make a review nor will detail what I currently enjoyed in it but there's a ton. As a fan curious of games design I took a second degree enjoyment to quote some design tricks used in the game. Just one detail, you can hit at any moment the B button to get a comment from a companion in your party. So you get many comment for many places of the game, not only for each area but really the places you are exactly but what stunned is to quote that with some companions for almost each talk you can have with a NPC if right after you hit B you get a companion comment related to the talk.
When I discovered the trick it's been a total first and second degree pleasure to talk to each NPC around and hit B to get the new comment, and I didn't found a single talk not getting a comment from my current companion (not true for all places but still for many). Trickily at this time of the game the current area had some places you could not access blocked through various sample way, this trick taking part of building the extreme density of companion comments. Simplistic but so efficient.
Why this post? Well share my current pleasure and curious to know what you think of this game.
