@Dad I like how you start the game out so incredibly limited with what Firebrand can do and it feels like a struggle to even beat Arma during the prologue, and by the end of the game you have the the legendary crest and it still feels like a struggle. That isn't even getting into NG+ with the ultimate crest which gives you the power of every other crest combined and you will STILL struggle.
The balance, the progression, the difficulty, the music, the designs, the mechanics, the gameplay. Such a fucking masterpiece of a game.
Why Capcom never revistied the world of Makai is a mystery. We have had endless remakes and reboots of Arthur's games, but the spinoff that mogged the OG with every single entry is just forgotten.
Oh, if you haven't played the GB games give them a spin. They rank right up there with the Final Fantasy Legends games as the peak of the Gameboy's library.
