The game was pretty damn hard and grindy, but the wicked soundtrack made all it very enjoyable. It's nice reminiscing about those days while listening to the same awesome tunes. Thanks for posting this.
I enjoyed the grind of 90's RPG's, but this one really tested a kids patience!! holy crap!. I actaully never beat this game, and I logged hundreds of hours across multiple attempts over the years.
it really does deserve a remake, considering the North American localization ruined the game balance to make it harder. I know a lot of people got frustrated and didn't give it a chance as a result
@@CypressDahlia I played it back in the snes Era, and at the time did not know this was a bug. However I really enjoyed the challenge and actually prefer the North American version. It was brutal, but fun!
@@CypressDahlia I loved how difficult it was. I spent hundreds of hours playing this game and beat it multiple times. Some of my best memories as a kid.

The characters were awesome in this...they held just enough emotional distance to be relatable...you could actually fantasize about these...Lejes the Demon..Esuna the Elf...I forgot the robos name but he was quite clunky, I loved the noise he made when walking!!!!😁
Bruh this was one of the more difficult RPG's that I've played due to the grind! Level after level only to fail and restart...especially if you did not safe frequently, Good lord...My grandfather loved playing this game, R.I.P Gramps!
Decades later i found out that this wasn't intended.... It was a coding error when the game was translated to US english. JP version isnt that hard and grindy...
The American version was harder to start than the Japanese version. The other heroes stats increased in increments of 7 lvls in the US version, and 9 I think the the Japanese, so over leveling early hurt you big time until the 60-70s range they would cap out and you wouldn't until 99. Something to consider when going for a 100% run

Turn based systems with one character are the kind of game that let you touch the game-state tree, most branches are fruitless of course and end in death.
I played this game so much as a kid! I beat it with every character except Olvan and Kamil. Valsu and Esuna were so OP it was nuts. To this day is still can't wrap my head around some of the battles vs other playable characters. I learned to save before every interaction real fast. This game is where I started to learn Game Genie coding. After I beat it multiple times I had a ton of fun just making new codes that did all sorts of crazy stuff, like giving +220 STR or INT with each level up. I got up to 999 points on every trait by level 12. Really killed the fun though lol.
I think kamils the worst char to play as, mediocre in everything lol. The manual suggested playing as Kamil if u were new to the game and I think that's part of the reason ppl said it's so difficult. Playing as wilme for example, and the game was pretty easy
The trick in this game is making sure your companion has died before facing a boss, then reviving your companion at the start of the boss battle so it’s always two against one. It’s a little tricky but once you get the hang of reviving before boss battles, the game gets a lot easier. Also ALWAYS shield-up and power-up, in that order, after reviving your companion. Bosses will always be a challenge otherwise. Fun game and back in the day, you got your money’s worth. Many, many towns and goodies.
I wish someone would make a mod where u can play as Pison and also that u can go back to the original time instead of being stuck in the past surrounded by white. Still one of the best soundtracks and one of the best SNES games, was a hidden jewel back in the day
Oh man, so I rented this game time and again and couldnt beat it. Finally my best friend bought it and played it for hours and couldnt beat it. Finally he lets me play it... and I mained Wilme and had Valsu in my party... and I ran through the game like gangbusters... I get to the past and I'm going strong and he's annoyed that I'm going to get there, meanwhile I had lent him some of my games and didnt give a crap what he did, but he wanted the game back by the end of the weekend, so I speed ran through the end of the game and lol the enemies in the final dungeon are unkillable when you are 30 hours in, but the final boss... a pushover if you know the rune order... i called him and told him to come over and that he could have his game back.... i killed the final boss and we watch the ending while i had the smuggest look on my face. Then I popped the cartridge out of the SNES and said thx... he never beat it. lolol On a side note, he was the best man at my wedding 15 years later... so I love the guy... but we were dumb as teenagers lol
I'm currently playing as Wilme and Valsu. I can confirm that this is indeed the wrecking crew. Although you'd have better time with random encounters with Esuna rather than Valsu. Valsu and Wilme are the boss destroyers though lol

Ahhhh, the good ole days of sneaking downstairs late at night to just get a few more levels, lol.
Brother, we all emphasize with this
Hallelujah
Ah yes, six hours, four levels, and now you die in 2 hits instead of 2 hits!
My house dont have stairs
underrated game

One of many games that I'm going back and finishing now that I'm 40. My kids listen to all the old snes rpg soundtracks while doing their school work.
The characters were awesome in this...they held just enough emotional distance to be relatable...you could actually fantasize about these...Lejes the Demon..Esuna the Elf...I forgot the robos name but he was quite clunky, I loved the noise he made when walking!!!!😁
Robot is Lux...my mom always played with Esuna/Lux combo...I was a Valsu/Kamil kid myself
LUX WAS THE NAME OF THE TETUJIN (ROBOT).
Lux Tizer to be more specific. 😊
@@nonyabiz7918 thanks been awhile forgot his name.
Love that warning on the box, looks like they forgot confusion, anger, and heartache after you've died and forgotten to save.
I love how the battle start song sounds like a traffic accident
Because every fight could easily be your last in this game XD
Bruh this was one of the more difficult RPG's that I've played due to the grind! Level after level only to fail and restart...especially if you did not safe frequently, Good lord...My grandfather loved playing this game, R.I.P Gramps!
Decades later i found out that this wasn't intended.... It was a coding error when the game was translated to US english. JP version isnt that hard and grindy...
Coming here month by month to get nostalgic..
We all do! That is why we have created a new set of videos with Lo-Fi SNES inspired music. Check them out :D
“Epic Confrontation” is epic!
This should be made into a movie.
One of the best soundtrack for games ! Excellent !
I love this freaking game, The music is zen graphics are great for snes and the grind was addictive
Hardest game of my childhood, and the only one I never beat
me and my mom combined forces and still couldn’t beat this monster. took down almost every other classic SNES rpg, but this one remained unclaimed
@@leavy play as Wilme and use b protect and b defence and b agility for tough fights and it wont be so hard to beat ;)
@@drkingslend lux too
try getting an ally and let him die just carry him around dead it had an advantage but i cant remember what

Esuna is a beast if you can get her agility up by save scumming every level up.
I gather from the comment section that this game was so hard that it didn't cause "complete enjoyment"
Nah, it was so hard that it made me want to beat it even more because it was one of the few games back then that was a real challenge.
This game is suck a gem on the music aspect. 10/10 OST.
Wish they did a remake like Mario RPG...

I'm gonna try that two against one thing for sure
Thanks for the tips! I want to give this game a try as an adult. I rented it as a kid and gave it up so quick.

someday, I'll finally beat this game
The Kamil (world map) theme is so damn good.
this found me not the other way around.
love this! nostalgia
Lejes Rimul is my jam!

Que Som Bom, obrigado.
Thanks for showing :)
Considering the difficulty bug, the cover blurb should include "Frustration".
Enix should go back to the basics, you know start from Square one
Hehe nice
And Square should go back to soft.
One Squaresoft, one Enix, good games again!

the best
Lux Tizer SLAPS
Anyone know where the Soundtrack at about 46mins in plays in the game?!
At the end of game i think
@@EuroRama95 that could explain why I've never heard it lol I think the end was quite lengthy and/or hard and confusing? Don't really remember so much
Hey how can I use this in my youtube video? any downloads?

i said it, enix > square
the ost was what made this game
