When I was a child, I wanted to grow up to make games like Final Fantasy and Secret of Mana. This was the first game I knew of that was made by people in the USA of that style - the first time I thought I could actually do that. The game itself is special to me, too. I love the Alchemy system, choosing spells and leveling them up. I love seeing what the dog transforms into, and I even love hearing the Boy make cheesy references to even cheesier fake B movies.
This game is so massively underrated! It's got the combat mechanics from Secret of Mana mixed with a unique alchemy magic system not seem in any other game. One of my favorite childhood games! Currently, the only way to get this game is the original SNES cartridge or by getting it "Any way you can." (Which isn't optimal.)
One of the best Snes games of all time. It brings you to 4 different times with a really nice story. Idont know how often i played it. It would be real nice to have it playable on PC or even much better with a remake or remastered.
While I never got to play secret of mana when I was a kid, I do own secret of evermore, and still to this day love this game and enjoy playing through it! I've loved the magic system where you have to repeatedly use spells to level them up and collect ingredients to be able to cast them. I especially like the different dreamscapes of the characters in the game becoming their own worlds, and think this would be a very cool idea for a VR game if they ever made a newer version of it. Always was fun traveling around with my dog no matter what shape he took throughout the levels, and if I got into a RPG for speed running it would definitely be this since I enjoy going back to it often.
It’s no surprise the soundtrack and atmosphere in this game is so captivating. The composer is Jeremy Soule, who also was the composer of Skyrim. If Square doesn’t want to make a remake then I’m doing it myself!

Fun romp through four different world designed after eras of time, I greatly enjoyed having the dog companion that changed to fit each land. The alchemy system, while a little janky, was also very fun.

Harvest Moon: Back to Nature
Harvest Moon: Back to NatureNatsume's farm simulation series makes its debut on the PlayStation with Harvest Moon: Back to Nature. Starting out with a few rudimentary implements and very little money, you begin the arduous task of reviving your grandfather's farm and thereby claiming your place as its rightful heir. Players are given three years to achieve this goal. A year consists of four seasons, each of which lasts 30 days. Different crops can be planted each season, but before the seeds can be planted, the land must be cleared and then the soil tilled. Seeds must also be watered until the fruit or vegetable matures. Once the crops are ready for harvest, they can be placed in a shipping bin where they'll be collected and paid for. In addition to farming, players will interact with local villagers and partake in seasonal events such as the Tomato Festival and Fireworks Display. As more money is earned, players can expand their farm and begin to raise livestock such as chickens and cows.
