This is a game I was introduced to back in 1996, after it came out, at a friend's house. It is put together a lot like Secret of Mana, graphics and all. It has the same item ring design, and the characters are similar. The music, like Mana's, is one thing I remember the most about this game; I find it to be haunting, though I can't put it on equal footing with Secret of Mana. For one thing it is a single-player game. You can't play it with a friend, and the story is not quite as deep. It's actually predictable. You can assume from the beginning the boy is going to go home. All in all, though, it is still one of my all-time favorite games from this period in my life.
