Looks good, I really need to have a trails marathon, it's like the most popular JRPG series that I haven't played yet..

I haven't liked a Final Fantasy since 10 (Haven't played VII remake yet tho). A few long running RPGs still got it, like Dragon Quest and Persona, but not Final Fantasy. They've lost sight of what's important.
It's not even the trying to deviate from JRPG gameplay that bothers me, its just the stories are so bland and meh.
I got FF3 on SNES as a hand me down from my cousin as a kid and I've been hooked since then lol.
I feel like my most nostaglic and favorite is my first JRPG I got when my parents bought me my PSX. I got to pick one game and I remember looking thru the shelf of games and finding one that had the Squaresoft logo on it and just assuming it would be awesome. It was Saga Frontier lol.
Most recent JRPG I played was Fantasian which apparently may be Nobuo Uematsu and Hironobu Sakaguchi's final game. Which made me sad af, and would be the end of an era for sure, but was a solid game.
You got me looking at these since I've been thinking about upgrading from my raspi w/ 2 ssd raid. Think this is a good deal to accomplish that?

Yea it totally snuck under the radar, most people haven't.
It's from previous Squaresoft big hitters. They formed their own studio and the marketing could be better lol. Hironobu Sakaguchi worked on most Squaresoft titles during their golden years, and Nobuo Uematsu did most of the soundtracks. They are both getting up there in age so they each said this might be their last game.
Gameplay is super solid and a satisfying amount of challenge, and ofc the soundtrack is absolutely fire.
