      I finally beat the first boss after a few dozen tries, and what's my reward? Being stuck on a plank in the middle of the ocean.

      Seriously though, this game is excellent. I'm really enjoying the Link to the Past style game play and quirky story.

        Had to take a few days to work on stuff (including passing my driver's test, woo!.) But I finally started this game. So far, it is very awesome and seems to have aged very well.

            Damn, game. A bit existential, no?

                I updated the OP to be more fleshed out.

                  Got to the pyramid this weekend. I am really enjoying the game. Some of the dungeons take quite a while to figure out, and I felt that they're not quite balanced (The Great Wall of China was way too easy) but overall this is definitely an underrated game.

                    @obsidianspider I'm only at the Sky Garden, but I share your thoughts on this game. It is truly a hidden gem and I've loved every moment of this game. Probably the best OST on the SNES.

                      Patiently waits for the vinyl release of Illusion of Gaia OST

                      I mean, we did Kid Dracula and it got a vinyl OST run.

                        Maybe we should start to think about January GOTM. Give some suggestions people.

                        Sadly not able to finish Gaia due to a lost save file in the move to a new PC.

                          @lilbud I got busy after getting to the pyramid. One of these days I’ll finish it. Really good game.

                            Here is the poll for the January GOTM. If anyone has more suggestions, let me know. Couldn't really ask before hand since the site was down all morning.

                              Finished the game. The story is weird, but so good. It's not often that I get pulled in to the point that I am having an emotional response to what's happening to the characters.

                                  Voting is closed and the game of the month for January is Super Mario RPG for the SNES

                                      @livefastcyyoung Yeah, when I get time to write the description and create the overlay. Probably tomorrow at some point.
