I wish there was more art made for the US, the art used in the US manuel is really cute but only Will and Kara were fortunate enough to get illustrations.

Anyway, it's kind of sad to see the game is now remembered as "the worst game in the Gaia series", at least that's how it seems whenever I see it discussed.. I haven't played the other two games, or three or even four depending on who you ask, but it's sad to me to see it always seems like people ignore it despite being a still solid game.

Not at all, the gave was pretty heavily advertised even by Nintendo themselves and sold a solid 650,000 units. It was never a system seller but it was at worst still a cult classic.

In all honesty the story doesn't make much more sense even in the Japanese version. The US and PAL versions suffered from censorship but as far as plot elements go there was nothing seriously lost. No matter what language it's in the plot is still really abstract and sort goofy.

Sold 300,000 units in the US, not a household name but still.

Great game.

It definitely sold the most, IoG sold 300,000 unit in the US alone. Unfortunately I couldn't find a real number of sales for the game but IoG is most definitely the one that sold best. It's interesting how so many here seem to like it least, I enjoy it quite a lot. I hear a lot of people complain about a shitty localization but from what I have read the original Japanese is just as bizarre, take that as you will. I really need to replay the other two, played IoG last summer and enjoyed it a lot.

Its a pretty good game, have beaten it twice. A weird script being badly translated led to a pretty bizare script, honestly even if you were to play with the original script it would still be a clusterfuck. I always enjoyed the leveling up mechanic, I'm the kinda guy who has to kill everything on screen so it was a good fit. Music is also very good, this song still gets me.

Very good game.

I really recommend soul blazer, illusion of gaia, and terranigma. All fantastic games. Brainlord and crusader of centy are also very good.
