Next to OoT it was my first rpg (especially my first turn based rpg) before I played wild arms and rhapsody, I would love to play it again but I no longer own a super nintendo and I have no idea if I even still have my copy of the game.
This is a game I never expected to see playable outside of pure luck of getting your hands on both of those things, would really love to play it again.
The soundtrack is something I feel so nostalgic for, and I loved the intro to the game and the town by the sea Will grew up in.
dude! i kept playing this game until i beaten it on super nintendo back in the day! it was so frustrating to try to find a save spot in the game and always had to leave my super nintendo on while i was gone back then! the game had such a fantastic story with a twist that i never expected in a game! the combat is the same feel like secret of mana but different in its own way. would definitely buy it and add it to my long lists of video game collections that i still need. keep bringing in the classics! i love it!
An legend in its own time. Illusion of Gaia was one of my very first RPGs I've played, the story of Will and Kara's growth from naive young kids to caring mature individuals who were willing to sacrifice everything for earth, holds a testament to old school story telling, that most modern games today don't have. So restoring this classic for a more modern audience, just might bring back a little hope back to this world.
One of the first games I ever played, the thing I claim made me love history and to this day one of my favorite games ever. How many of you actually A) got ALL the red jewels, and B) waited in line in Euro?
...to this day if I see a line in front of a store in a game i assume the same gimmik and will wait 10 minutes to be proven false T_T
I also love all the music and listen to them regularly - with a certain one being my perfect cure for insomnia.
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox

During his quest, Ryu meets other warriors who share his quest, and comes into conflict with the Dark Dragon Clan, a militaristic empire who seeks to take over the world by reviving a mad goddess.
