    Load times aside, the AI actually flanks properly, unlike most of its rivals here.

    Les temps de chargement, sérieusement, c'est ça qu'on retient face à un système de flanquement qui fonctionne vraiment ? Ça me dépasse un peu.

    Compared to the usual turn based RPGs of its era, this one asks you to actually think about positioning and terrain, not just pick attack from a menu.

    pero al final terminas pensando más en el terreno o más en la historia, no sé si van al mismo ritmo

    alfonso still remembers borrowing a friend's copy for like two weeks straight, and I mean I barely slept, kept telling myself one more battle and then it was already morning, my sister thought I'd lost my mind honestly, I never even got that far into the story but the fights alone were worth the exhaustion

    same energy here, I lost entire weekends to it and never once regretted the lack of sleep

    Loved the story, the difficulty spikes were just mean sometimes.

    RetroDragon

    the difficulty spikes were rough, no argument there (my party got wiped so many times I lost count), but did the story ever really lose you or just slow down for a bit

  5. Brice_86

    honestly it does more with terrain and elevation than most tactics games even now, chrono trigger is great but it never asked you to think like this
