i love how unassuming this game seems especially at first. It makes it more of a wonderful surprise when you destroy a monster lair and it sends back a talking flower or a goat or something.
The Quintet font is beautiful.

I played this for an hour or so last night. I was right to want to play it as a kid, as I would have really enjoyed it. I like that you sometimes just rescue a single flower or strand of ivy.
It wasn’t until (the PC Engine version of) Ys 1 and 2 were released for Wii that I finally played through those games. Somehow I never got around to Soul Blazer, even on an emulator. (Probably because I would have had to play it on a computer and I have a hard time playing a console game on a computer for some reason.)

I played as a kid, it stayed with me. The music! We almost beat it I think. Why did we have it, I don’t know

i never played Soul Blazer 
which is a shame, because i loved both IoG and Terranigma.
if i had a better emulation set up, i’d give it a try. honestly have always thought it’s sad that this trilogy has never seen any kind of rerelease and is mostly forgotten.

It’s the 25th anniversary of Terranigma! It’s as good a time as any to get Soul Blazed on some Soul Diesel and play Soul Blazer or Terranigma again.

May have to sit down and play the trilogy again, it just feels like the right moment
i went to play through all three for the first time last summer and i stalled out a couple hours into terranigma even though it seemed like obviously the most incredible one
Terranigma is both “the best” of the three but also “the least interesting”
I remember it being hard to get into at the beginning but the ending made everything worth it.
