Those animated parts look very 90's.

Yup. The game came out in 1995, so it's understandable.
It has some of the best music I've come across in video games. It's the first professional work from the guy who wrote the soundtrack to Skyrim.
HIGH IMPACT SEXUAL VIOLENCE
It's an amazing game. But I'll admit it was pretty grindy if you wanted to get your weapons up to their max potential, your dog kept stealing your kills so you had to force him to sniff the floor or something, and the less said about the plot and ending, the better. (in other words, DO NOT PLAY FOR THE PLOT).
ALL CREATURE WILL DIE AND ALL THE THINGS WILL BE BROKEN. THAT'S THE LAW OF SAMURAI.
Aww, but the plot is funny!
I found a rom patch that supposedly fixes the weapon grinding issue as well as tweaking some of the other balance issues. I always thought it was pretty easy to keep the dog away from enemies though, you just set him to search more than fight.
Chaotic Greedy
I liked it enough that if they re-released it on a console I have, I'd buy it.

cuter, cuddlier Edmond
I still have this game, but for some reason it always struck me as a second-rate ripoff of Secret of Mana.
Not that it was necessarily a bad game or anything, just wouldn't call it a favorite.

El Cid
The best word I could use to describe it is "quirky". It definitely didn't have the quality of a lot of other SNES-era RPG's, but there were some neat things about it.
Anybody else play this as a kid? It was probably my second favorite game right after Final Fantasy VI. I don't think I've ever seen another game that had the same sort of atmosphere.
