Where to start heh? hmm *thinks*

I think i was...about 8 or 10 years old when i first played this game.

I just always remember the music from this game for some reason. The satisfying battle systems where when you get a critical you actually felt like your characters were UBER! :)

The story line for its time was pretty cool, the graphics as well i guess, but the music totally stands out!

Its OBVIOUSLY i'm pretty sure inspired by Allan Holdsworth's music. Especially his SynthAxe stuff. For thos who wanna know where to start with Allan Holdsworth to get an idea of what im talking about, try downloading: "Spokes", "Home", "Distance Vs. Desire", "City Nights" or "The Book of the Dead" by K2. (you can get most of these off his best of album "Against the Clock").

The music from this game inspired me to become a guitar player later on in life(yes its true!!!) and of course to discover Allan Holdsworth which helped me GREATLY with coming up with a good technique for playing and writing music.

Back to the game however, its just plain fun and i still think aside from the Final Fantasy series, this game pretty much beats most of the RPGs who use a simular game mechanic.

I only wise they would bring this game back...maybe on the DS? That would be amazing...this game should be in the Top 10 of best games of all time.

Amazing little Retro RPG. :)
