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.

Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future
Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the FutureAt the dawn of the 30th Century, dolphins and humans had been together in a cross-species society for 500 years. Together, they had set out to explore space, offering peace and friendship to all who would welcome it. But space had its dangers; a violent species known as the Foe decided to conquer Earth. However, the dolphins and humans drove them to the brink of defeat, and so the Foe sought vengeance on Earth. The few caretaker dolphins who had been left behind on Earth were not entirely defenseless; they were protected by their creation called the Guardian—a gigantic, sentient being made of a crystalline substance which projected a forcefield over the entire planet. Undeterred, the Foe made suicide attacks on the field, searching for a weak point.
