Been dumping my GameCube games for my own use. Noticing all kinds of weird things about the old games that I didn't notice before, or had forgotten, because it's been like two decades.
(Didn't get that much into Lost Kingdoms back in the day though. Because as far as inexplicably card-based RPGs go, I sunk so much more time into Baten Kaitos.)
An excellent game, also similar to King's Field. Another great PS2 Fromsoft RPG is Evergrace. Horrible translation and voice acting, but interesting when you look at it like a precursor to Elden Ring. Lots of similarities.
