  Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, and Earthbound are the holy trinity of SNES era RPGs

    Agreed on the holy trinity. But even though you’re devout to the holy trinity, sometimes there are temptations.

    Illusion of Gaia is that cool friend you haven’t seen in a long time who shows up, and you bond and reminisce like you haven’t been separated at all. Then you discover Illusion of Gaia has friends you haven’t met, and they roll together in a cool club called The Soul Blazer Trilogy.

      My favorite thing about Illusion of Gaia has to be the fact that the manual contained a complete walkthrough of the game, at least in the North American release. Unless it was the same energy as “the dumb Americans ~(who invented the genre and introduced it to the East)~ don’t understand RPGs, so we’ll make Mystic Quest really simple and dumbed down for them” I don’t knwo why they did that.

      I remember when I played IoG and Terranigma years later and was super angry that I hadn’t heard of either back in the day lol

  The players guide had scratch and sniff vomit.

  That game and the product teams were amazing, it was just too weird for broad commercial success at the time.
