Befor you comment THIS IS NOT A NOSTALGIA FAG RAGING ABOUT HOW HE MISSES THE 90'S. I recently looked into getting a game called "Nostalgia" for the DS. It was a previously planned RPG for the Sega Saturn, it was canlced then un-cancled and brought onto the DS in its original format. GT didnt like it because, and i qoute "it's too retro, it's more of a game for RPG fans who want to remise about the games of the 80's and 90's." So if any of you are into 90's-style RPG's then this is your game.
This is definitely not the game for me, but apparently there are crazy people that enjoy classic RPGisms like grinding, random encounters, and impossible bosses. But wait, don't all the new RPGs still do all that?
original: took me about 6 months to beat
remake: took me about 2 weeks
my point is that RPG have lost that certain "charm" they used to have.
