Well I started a let's play of this game because I forgot about it. Even if you don't watch me I want to talk about the game on the forums.
Square made Final Fantasy Mario. The music is great, the character designs get abstract later in the game, rivals become allies, and the enemy is bio-organic inter-dimensional hyper beings. There are so many tropes. I actually think this is a very good RPG you should play if you haven't. The battles are turn based so you assume they will be boring but every round, every attack is a timing/mash challenge. It's hard to tell because I am not recording my button hits but every enemy has an attack rhythm you learn to defend against and hit block at the correct moment. I'm going to say that again, it' a turn biased Mario game where enemies do feint's and cause you to screw up blocking the real hit because you blocked the feint. I think square was having a good day when they made this one.
And yes I realize this is my first post. I actually forgot my real info this morning and wrote this in a hurry using my facebook account.
