This fucking game was and is great. I don't know which consoles you can play it on. But I know that you can still play it on GBA. That's the ultimate nostalgia gasm for all of us millennials from that particular time segment. This game made you have hope. Even though you were a kid and the twinkle of a good, happy life was still in your eye, this game preserved that twinkle. Whereas something like Superman on the N64 just made you wonder why the world was so cruel and unfair.
The story is rad. It's the expected and typical jrpg style story. Which means that it's perfect. I know it's been said before, but it's not really a jrpg if the main characters don't bond and grow stronger over the course of a long journey and then team up to kill the god of their world, then it's really not a jrpg.
The exploration of the in game continent is rad. Imagine the magic in the eyes of a young babby Austin when I realized I had an entire continent to explore with my ragtag group of pre-teens. They have Ice, Earth, Fire and Wind powers. So basically everything that makes Captain Planet get an erection.
The bosses are rad. The regular enemies are rad too. You also have plenty of towns and dungeons to go walking around. You can capture little magic squirrel/bird things that boost your powers. The game is basically flawless and should have already had a major console release. Oh and the weapons are rad. Almost forgot. The animations of pretty much everything is great. It's either really cute and shows what they were able to accomplish back in the day. Or they are really impressive mini cut scenes that demonstrate the full scope of your badassery.
No surprises here, if you love games then give this one a try. Treat yourself to a fantastic experience that still holds up today as well as it did back when it was new. The timeless experience of enjoying a classic game.

Would playing this on the Nintendo DS yield similar results? Or is GBA the only way to experience this?
