Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

My opinion is obviously subjective.
Emblematic of its era doesn't translate into being modern or timeless. I wasn´t talking about the art style, which in my opinion doesn't hold as well or is as timeless as sprite based rpgs of its era like chrono or secret of mana. The combat, the way you transverse maps, how you get into encounters, the pacing of exploration and dialogue , again in my opinion, have evolved a lot in this 20 years.
I LOVED mario rpg when it released originally, and played it to death. It just doesn't work for me anymore.
