Bitching about not getting one game because of another:

I agree. Seiken Densetsu 3 was fun while it lasted, but ultimately I don't think it's anything too special. I'd take Secret of Evermore over it myself. I had started playing through it again not too long ago and I only quit because I got killed by the swamp boss and didn't want to navigate that entire area again at the time. The game was as immersive as ever. Jeremy Soule's music surely has a lot to do with it and you can't go wrong with the Secret of Mana gameplay setup.

Anyways, if there's any truth in what Utopia had said before about Nintendo choosing to localize Chrono Trigger rather than other games like SD3 and RS3, I think they made the right choice. RS3 is actually really good and it would've been nice to have gotten it but Chrono Trigger is legendary. We need a 2D legend like that to keep the FFVII fanboys in check. Not everybody loves FFVI and that's where CT comes in.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Secret of Mana was my first memorable RPG experience that I too played to death, so I was upset as well when EGM said that Seiken Densetsu 3 was coming over and it didn't happen. I also remember that the screenshots showed a rabite fighting with your team. I guess they scrapped that aspect and used it later for Legend of Mana.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
