damn straight. combined with the music, you hit the nail on the head.

SwordOM sucked. You know why? the map. the placeable icon-areas. Wheres the immersion of the world we had in Secret? Wheres the seamless transition?

Let me rant about this shit. In Secret you were a kid, but the dialogue didnt focus on it and it seemed like just a peripheral thing. The sprites in Sword look like a bunch of foofed-up preschoolers. Thats one thing I like about vr JRPGs - in a lot you were a young kid, but you didnt LOOK TOO young. In GBA/PS2 era, you were young and it was a defining part of the art/story that you couldn't put in the periphery. Its all about being a freakin kid. Adults play these games too ya know.
