/vr/ - Retro Games

Just finished Terranigma for my third time.

Let's discuss our favourite/least favourite parts of this game and how it compares to Illusion of Gaia and Soulblazer.

>Story
I really enjoyed the story of this game and the resurrecting of the Earth from the underground is really cool with neat visuals. The ending is amazing and it explains everything very well.

>graphics
Lots of cool enemy designs and some cool bosses.

>gameplay
The gameplay is a little shallow because you spend most of the combat just doing dash jumps but you do encounter a couple enemies that require you to use a different technique to do more damage (or you just power through them with dash jumping). You don't have much choice for weapons other than the spear in the next area is stronger than the one you have. It felt like they were missing something here because they tried to use Staffs/Rods and tried giving you different benefits to each item but in the end it's just choose the newest one.

>world building
This is fun at first but unless you are just curious to see what happens as you progress the towns I didn't feel the need to do anything because you don't get much for rewards and a lot of the quests are cryptic and require one specific item that you may need to talk to somebody over and over until you get it.

Overall I love this game but with each playthrough I find little things that could be improved and I would love a remake/remaster/sequel with similar visuals.
