Mina The Hollower - loved that game.
Sea of stars: Sunset Edition - very nice 2D RPG game with nice music.

Been thinking about playing through Tomb Raider 3 again. Have yet to play it on the remaster
Technically should play 2 again first but ehhhhh not as much of a fan of it. 1 and 3 are great though

Haven't tried the PS1 version but I'm having a blast playing, definitely do get the SquareSoft vibes. I just recently acquired a Saturn and really want to dig into the system. I read it's a must play on the system and they weren't wrong. Maybe i'll check out Grandia II next or stick with the Saturn for some time and play Lunar.

I can say that I'm partial to the Sega CD version of Brave Warriors, the battle theme of Lunar 2. I was intrigued that the devs of the PSP version of Lunar 1 hired the same vocalist from the PS1 opening song and recorded a new English opening.

Plus, when I was doing my pre-med, I learned that Gallium is an element, which sounds close to the main villain's name.

I do recommend Grandia II. I never played more than an hour or two of Grandia III (and I've had the ending spoiled a bit), but Grandia II has stuck with me. I really enjoyed the plot for that one, and I felt my time with the game was worth it. It helps that Grandia II is about 30 hours or so. Plus, the battle theme of Grandia II is another excellent track.

Man, I miss that distinct Dreamcast era of games.

Awesome, I'll probably check out Grandia II next, then Lunar after. Thanks!
And yeah the gold old days of JRPGs.

Zelda TOoT

Why is this registering in my head now? How dare you call one of the best games of all time "Zelda Toot." #MarioFarty

OP, has your opinion changed on 3D Zelda?

No. I still find the combat in LttP, 1 & 2 to feel much tighter and more precise than OoT.

I do appreciate how much of a landmark title OoT was. It's a genuinely great game that transitioned the series to 3D remarkably well.

I think they did about as well as technology at the time allowed. Back then controls were clunkier in general. Companies were still figuring out how to even control 3D gaming, and hardware was much more limited,both in terms of the gamepads we used and the CPU, GPU etc.

While I think the gameplay of LttP is peak, the story and emotional weight of OoT blows away the minimal story of LttP by miles.
