Heroine
I'm still in a gaming mood. After reading a friend's blog post, I decided to download Secret of Mana. She barely mentions it, but I'd been meaning to give that series a shot, and she mentioned it as a classic. I also played about 4-5 hours of Persona 4 yesterday. Partly because I needed a really strong distraction. Today, the distraction is NANA. ( Read more... )

And now it wants me to confirm I'm human? o.o

Let's try this again! I am outraged that you mention me not only in the same post as Nana, but in the same paragraph, no less! :P
I really should come and read this more, I didn't even know about the post till Jlrm mentioned it (he's a stalker, you know. Be careful! ;P). Tell me when you update this over at GB!
As for Secret of Mana, it's certainly a game I consider a classic. The theme song is one of the most recognizable and hauntingly beautiful songs in gaming to this day. I can't promise the game has aged perfectly well but I can't imagine it aged terrible. The combat was fairly easy to pick up on, the story was enjoyable, and the graphics were some of the best on the SNES (and pixel art generally ages really well). I imagine the dialog isn't great compared to today's standards, but worked for the SNES era.
Hopefully you enjoy it ^^

I did post a link in my status. I've been doing that when I update with gaming related stuffs. But hmm, do you use Twitter a lot? I think I can set mine up to tweet when I post. I'll think about it.
I agree about pixel art aging well. I've seen screenshots of PSOne games that look awful. It was hard for me to play FF7 after the fact because of the graphics. I did enjoy the story, but it was tough to play.
I'm liking the game so far, but I am finding myself needing to level a lot, because I keep dying and having to go back to an inn. But then, I'm not exactly skilled. ^_^;
