Oh, and trivia. When the music scorer of Septerra Core was asked to score Halo, he was the one who suggested that one of the voice actors from Septerra Core (Gunnar) to become Master Chief’s voice. So Halo fans can thank Septerra Core giving them Master Chief. ^^;

Natch.

~ To Onion,
? Never had that problem before, but I have read about it in the patch readme. ^^; It pays to patch your games before you play them.

~ To Ender,
One of the first few things that stuck me as unique about Septerra Core was that it was one of the “mythical” few CRPGs of its time where every single NPC is voiced in full. No silent text for this game. It really helps to bring out the life of the gameworld.

Another thing I liked about Septerra Core is that the main protagonist is not some “overpowered” chosen one. Well yes, she is still the “Chosen One”, but how she brings about salvation is not through brute force, but enlightenment.

The game world itself is also pretty unique. Very outlandish and fantastical, yet workable within the rules of the game’s lore. I still get a thrill watching and listening to the opening video of the game.

I could go on and on about what I like about Septerra Core, but this post will become tl:dr status, so I will summarise it as a game that manages to click with me in almost every way. The humour (got to love the parts where Maya reacts indignantly at bandits who try to “pick her up” by replying with lead), the voice-acting, the storyline (humans being humans), etc…

Cheers.

Septerra Core a.k.a. “How many time can I get stuck in a wall before I decide to break the disc”?

I remember when it came out, and thinking that it looked like a JRPGish affair. What did you find particularly appealing about it?

So… anybody here plays Septerra Core? It’s in my Top10 list of CRPGs, but I usually get blank stares whenever I mention it. ^^;

Cheers.

Perhaps the ‘hey, widespread acceptance is not needed to affirm that they are indeed in my top list’ approach will help to ease the pain.

Since the list is personal, I do not need the opinion of others in order to love games like Xenogears, Terranigma and Bahamut Lagoon.
