@@isaac3000 I beg to differ. I played it for the first time a year or so ago as an adult with no nostalgia for it, and it was a great playthrough! One of the better SNES games I've played recently, and holds up well next to the other titles on the system. To each their own though, this old action RPG style isn't for everyone.

Same here! I randomly remembered this game from my childhood and was surprised to see a recent(ish) video about it just now. I was actually gifted this game for Xmas one year by a friend of my dad’s who was an official licensed Nintendo repair man at the time. I also got Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country 1&2 and like 6 other SNES games of varying quality… all at once! Apparently the reason I hit the Super Nintendo jackpot that year was because those games were brought to him to repair for various issues but they never came back for them after he fixed them.

Just a few corrections: the Dark Knight is named Freedan, not Freegan. The energy attack gets an upgrade if you collect 30 red jewels, or get thw Dark Potion the city of Euro. And Will does not combine with Kara to form Shadow. He learns it at a certain point in the game. And he learns Firebird in the last dungeon. Not until the very end before the last battle as they need the power of both the Warrior of the Light and the Warrior of the Dark does Will and Kara join up in the form of Shadow.

I still go back every couple years to play illusion of gaia again. It's definitely not as good as my nastolgia goggles made it out to be but I still enjoy the heck out of it every time. The original game had a guide included in the instruction manual for how to find all of the red gems. Was a really nice treat for anybody that played Soul Blazer (another of my favorites). I still have my original Illusion of Gaia OST CD as well.

Illusion of Gaia is incredibly nostalgic for me! My brothers and I had it as kids.. I always wondered why it didn’t get the recognition I feel is deserves. It may not quite be up there with games like A Link To The Past, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, or Earthbound.. but it’s definitely a great game! That music in the first village evokes so much childhood memories and nostalgia! It’s nothing INCREDIBLE or ground breaking, but the way it brings me right back and awakens feelings and long forgotten memories, gives the music so much more value. Man, I miss being a kid in the 90s. Thanks for covering this one Jirard! You’re the man!

Illusion of Gaia remains a memorable game for me as it was one of my earliest experiences with the concept of melancholy in fiction. The way the story progresses through the game carries very palpable undertones of sadness and change that you as a player are powerless to stop. It's sweet and beautiful in a way my young self wasn't wholly aware narratives could do, and while I didn't get a chance to play its fellows Soul Blazer and Terranigma until much later, they carry similar themes that make the whole series uniquely engrossing to me. I'm still hoping for a Trilogy release of those games again. Probably won't ever happen but they deserve a chance to shine again.

You do keep you criticism to the point, AND fair, and also keep yourself distant from personal biases, which is essential. So with just this brief and random comment, I would just like to say that every single time I have taken your ratings to heart, and either finish or complete a game (or even complete them all just to see,) I have never been disappointed, not once. Amazing review, as always, and I never played this game before, so you bet I'm doin' it next week... Much love from Brazil, keep up the great work. Goat.

I played Illusion of Gaia before Final Fantasy VI as a kid. Although I like the later more, I consider the former a masterpiece: it knows what it wants to be, and it does it without reserve. PS: Jirard's experience is the reason why I usually don't complete games in my first run. Except for rare cases, I always use my own wits in my first attempt, and then I complete it or replay it completely with a guide.

Always happy to see more love for Illusion of Gaia! This game will always have a special place for me. I wasn’t aware of this game’s existence until high school. I made a friend in my computer programming class and after talking about our gaming interests, he asked if I ever played this one. I told him I hadn’t and, the next day, he brought in his copy for me to borrow. I enjoyed the game, but did give it back before I finished it. Later that year, he passed away… he committed suicide. It’s still hard to believe. I wish I knew why, and that I could have done something… I went on to buy my own copy of the game, which I replay from time to time. Its themes of resurrection and the ways that it handled death were a comfort to me. Years back, I made sure to feature it on my channel as a tribute to my friend. And like I said, I love seeing other people experiencing and sharing their own love of the game. Thanks for bringing more light to this gem, Jirard!

What a pleasant coincidence. Looking at these comments, I realized this was uploaded just _6 days_ ago. I was looking for gameplay reviews and didn't expect such a recent one by The Completionist. Because I rediscovered the title of this game after the final boss theme had been stuck in my head for the past _9 years_ - despite not having listened to it, as I was unable to find the song or the name of the game. (Which is why I was surprised to hear that Jirard considered the soundtrack hit and miss.)

IoG is a great game and passed it in the mid 90s. Took me a while to get all 50 jewels but it was a fun experience looking through every location and item. Agree with you that it would be great to have more game time with the 3rd character.

Oh yes, Illusion Of Gaia. Played this when I was a kid. Unfortunately had very little help with it, in the form of guides, but I pushed on through somehow. Then when I got older, due to how much of a maze the game was, I figure I needed to map it out. And now, I need to seriously update those maps, one day lol.

No one ever mentions having to open your inventory and find that note that you’d have no idea was there to continue on with the game in the seaside town. Spent hours trying to figure out what to do before I had the internet and now I’ll never forget it.

I remember playing it on the SNES. Reminded me a lot of Soulblazer and Terrenignma. And having watched this, now I know why. Thanks!

This is one of my favorite games of All Time!! I am 42 years old and I end up playing this and Crystalis for the NES every 5 years or so.

Crazy nice game, played it a lot when it came out. I don't even know how I got it, did not know English but the mood was so dark and the gameplay simple but good for it's time, nice to see it here !

Having to visit all those unique towns reminds me of that Anime called Keno's Journey (pretty sure that's what it's called) 😅👍
