The Granstream Saga is an action game with strong RPG elements, and a spiritual successor to Gaia games. The player controls Eon as he explores overworld and dungeon locations, which are presented in overhead-viewed 3D. Battles are one-on-one; whenever an enemy is encountered, the view is zoomed on the combat participants who must fight each other until one of them emerges victorious. Eon can use swords, daggers, or axes against his enemies. He has a variety of attack moves at his disposal, including combos, shield-breaking abilities, etc.; he can also actively guard and cast magic spells. Leveling up, which increases Eon's attributes, occurs at set intervals throughout the game rather than from accumulating experience points.

Okay here's today's rage inducing update. Money is hard to come by in this game. There's a slightly hidden "shop" where you exchange bars of precious metals for rare items. These items, such as gold bars, can be found here and there and bought in shops. So, I need to save a lot of money to buy this stuff to trade for the good items. You don't learn about this until you have a small collection of gold and silver, so of course I sold my gold and silver since I could use the money. Okay, annoying, but I'll earn it back eventually.
I just finished a dungeon that thankfully had a gold bar in it. You're there to rescue someone. When you get out, your rescued friend stays at the town mayor's house, and you can't leave the damn house without the mayor taking the gold from you. What the fuck?? I looked up if there was a way around this, and if you held on to an item from the beginning of the game, he takes that instead. I sold it because I needed money. If this was a better game I wouldn't mind so much, but they really pile shit on top of shit so every new slight makes me that much more grumpy.

I like to think I'm a very thorough explorer in games. It's been a number of hours and I've yet to get a weapon upgrade, so I looked it up. Somehow I missed that a room in a dungeon had a south-facing branch which led to a sword upgrade. And an (apparently very useful) sword technique. AND OF COURSE I …

This shit drives me insane.

Up next in the backlog is this game that I have no idea where it came from, and that I lost and just found inside the back half of the case for Albert Odyssey. Maybe my dad bought it at some point? And where the hell is my copy of Albert Odyssey and its manual?
So! Apparently this was the …

So! Apparently this was the last Quintet game; one of the first 3D RPGs; and is a "spiritual sequel" to the the Soul Blazer series. I never got to play Terranigma, but looking forward to this nonetheless.

It's uh...it wasn't even good at the time. I'm not sure why I bothered completing this, but at least it was short.
