I had the exact same experience its kind of crazy. Got the game on release played until a bit past half way. Didnt pick it back up until I had 100% TTYD months later and was itching for more so I reluctantly finished the game, its a good game just kinda suffers being a 28 years old gameplay wise.
Love this game. Also grew up hearing about it and people saying it was good and such. I was already interested by how it played and look and sounded so when I got a SNES classic as a present I just played it from start to finish. I was hooked to say the least. I really enjoyed the simplicity of the game. It's whole a RPG adventure that I could play in a matter of hours with not much grinding or stats or everything else. Just how I like my Mario RPGs. Even if it's the base of the other two RPG series, it has such a strong identity that it could become its own series alongside the other two. Then I played it on the Switch a month after release and really, just had a gosh darn good time. Loved the new aesthetic and the new OST, the post-game content, the little extra additions to the battle system. It was such a blast for me and I've been itching for a Mario RPG experience for a little while now and since I'm not getting Mario and Luigi Brothership until later, I might just pop either this one or TTYD in again
uh... hot take i think this game is bad and it was so overhyped, the more i played it the more i hated it, the level design wasn't fun, the battles felt like a more waste of time more than sticker star because you get so little EXP and coins and it's just presented in a blank box, it feels like you get nothing, the art direction is nice but it looks so bad and the animations are so stiff, and the music is peak yoko my goat
Never thought i would see my goat Mario RPG back again 😭🙏🙏
