Yeah, I felt compelled to mention 6 but didn't for whatever reason. I really enjoyed 6, far more than 4 here. I do like that it's a short game though, I feel like I'm halfway through it already.

Yeah, that was really awkward to get used to. I'm used to taking a few seconds to consider what to do (when using magic anyway), but this one kind of just pushes you along. That was weird.
One thing I really hate about this game though is it's random battle system. Now these are common in plenty of console rpgs but in this one I don't know what the hell they were thinking, it just happens WAY too often. All too regularly I'll finish a battle and take one step and get into another battle right away.
I don't even mind the leaps in difficulty the game takes or how it makes you use certain characters, I actually kind of like the latter because of the way the story effectively removes characters from the game. I won't say killed because these characters will have every opportunity to return and I'm sure they will.
The game is just so bland. The characters and story are paper thin. Golbez has to be one of the lamest FF villains. There's nothing to write home about in the gameplay. It's fine though, it's definitely better than a number of RPGs, like uh, Arcana or something.
You hit pretty much all of the best RPGs for the SNES ASP, so I won't bother to retread it, except I'll add Lufia, that game is great.
So the Dragon Quest series is pretty good? I never knew really what to think about it. I know a guy who owns the first one and he likened it to doing nothing but leveling up, killing monsters and what not. Which doesn't really sound like its for me. Would you say the series expands well beyond that?
And I'd love to play Snatcher.
