It took me 34 hours of (nonconsecutive) gameplay to beat it, so I'd say yes.  If you liked the other 3d games, you'll enjoy this one.

I'll check IGN from time to time, but I'm usually happy with what I already have.


CRYSTAL SHARDS!  I loved that game!

Yeah, the only reason I ordered it was because of very fond childhood memories!

I think I've still got that somewhere; I've got maybe 16-20 N64 cartridges lying around.

If it makes you feel any better, I DO have an NES, it just doesn't work anymore.

I still have both the NES and SNES, and they both work.
They bring back good memories.

Well, it still works a little bit.  It usually takes about 10 or 15 minutes of fiddling with it to get it to work, but no matter what I do, I can't get Mario 3 to work!Cry

NES is a bit before my time, although I remember playing Mario, Zelda, Duck Hunt, Donkey Kong, some random RPG/adventure game that I don't remember the name of and maybe a few others.  SNES is when I started becoming a video game nerd, and I stopped sometime during the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube cycle.  Good memories, SNES and N64 are probably my favorites, but PS(2) is about equal too.

I pose a serious question to you all:

When did it become a bad thing for RPGs to be RPGs?

My -guess- is when FFVII turned out to be more a linear story with intermittent, challengeless battles seemingly only to pad the playtime, and the public ate it up.

Now that Enix has been absorbed by Square, there are very few companies that will release RPGs that have any sort of character development that you have any say in, any sort of innovations, and most of all, any -challenge-.

Only Atlus carries the torch consistantly, and their sales/popularity are honestly comparable to RIO sales as compared to Top 40.  The rest of the RPG-developing community puts out candy that doesn't make you think and doesn't make you work.

All you guys that made the later FF games so popular, thank you -so- much for taking away real RPGs for the handful of us who still like depth and challenge Cry

And if any of you felt -anything- positive from that rant, go pick up Etrian Odyssey for the Nintendo DS.  Probably the best pure RPG of this generation, and surely an incredible shock to kids raised on Final Fantasy.  Wink

I think RPGs really suffer under a misnomer anyway. I've played FFI and Dragon Warrior on the Nes and you're not playing a role but holding to a linear path. I've also played Earthbound, The Bard's Tale,  Eye of the Beholder, Baldur's Gate and Ultima Underworld and Fallout and most other classics and the roles just aren't especially important. I don't get why they're called roleplaying games?!?!? ;P

Super Mario Bros. RPG where you're an italian plumber.
