Have never played it, don't know what it's about, but the soundtrack is really good.

      Thanks for the run-down :rat-salute-2: I think I may give the first one a shot while it's on sale or wait until a better sale.

      I'm definitely up for playing a JRPG that has some of the older aesthetic and has such a banging soundtrack, even if it's a little repetitive.

      I hated how nonexistent the party interactions were. They basically already had stock characters, but due to the way you pick party members in any order they failed to create any meaningful bonds between the characters, which is one of the reasons I like old school JRPGs. If you want a similar but much better experience, try Grandia

        The second one has a lot more interactions between the characters both during battles and for in-town travel banter. It felt a lot less "mechanical" than the first one overall; for example, they put a ton of extra work into sprite animations.
