Ah, yes, Seiken Densetsu 3. One of my favorite SNES games of all time, even to the point where I used to hype over it way too much that I ignored other amazing titles on the system. That was back at 2005, though. The story is good, the graphics are outstanding at that time, the gameplay is pretty solid, and the replay value is high for I have played the game so many times since 2005 with different character and class combinations. And the music. Hoo, boy, the music is just as amazing as Secret of Mana. So many memorable tracks. Unfortunately, SD3 is riddled with some bugs and glitches, such as nearly non-existent critical hit rate, Agility stat not working properly (in a similar case to evasion bug in FFVI), and some others. But still, this is definitely one of the best SNES games I've ever played to this day. Neil Corlett and his team did an amazing job at translating this game.

If you guys like this and Secret of Mana then you definitely need to check Legend of Mana on the PSX, it's an amazing game. Artwork is gorgeous and aged very well, the music is just gorgeous [Yoko fucking Shimomura, she's amazing], gameplay is great albeit a bit too streamlined for my taste [you get full health after every battle] and you have multiple main storylines like in SD3 [although you choose them in a different and interesting fashion]. Oh, and if you like customization... oh boy. You can customize BLOODY EVERYTHING in this game. Your weapons, your armor, your magic, your pets, you can create golems which you can then customize... if you like min-maxing and guide-diving then you'll go crazy with the amount of stuff you can do in this game. And the combat system is awesome, your character can learn a bunch of different abilities like counter-strike, somersault, backflip, slide, etc and use them in battle, although to be honest a lot of them are pretty useless. But the main purpose of those abilities is to enable you to learn weapon specials. There's a lot of different weapons you can choose from [sword, 2H sword, axe, 2H axe, staff, bow, gloves, etc] and each weapons has A TON of different special attacks ranging from "do a combo on one enemy with your gloves" to "BLAST THE ENTIRE SCREEN WITH RAINBOW ENERGY". tl;dr - Play Legend of Mana, it's amazing.

What is this!?" Then, once I installed it and started playing, it was, "!!!!". This game is amazing. For me, the combat was a bit more difficult than Seiken Densetsu 2. But it's nothing impossible, and the class system more than makes up for it with making it more rewarding interesting with all the new things you can try out. And everything else is fantastic. Definitely one of my favorite RPGs.
