A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

This game was my first jrpg as a kid. Well after Mario rpg and Pokémon. But I guess it always classified it different as it was a more serious game.

I was really young so it’s cool to play it now and better understand the story.

But I did not remember the battles being so long. It seems that every encounter so far has been a really long experience.

I just graduated seed training, so not to far into the remake. Im not worried about spoilers as I’ve played through this game when it was new, and watched a speed run of it a few years ago.

What do you mean by a speed mode? Is it a rom havk? Or just a speed up mode in the emulator?

It's usually just a function in most emulators that speeds up game play and the toggle can be mapped to a controller. I've used it on basically all jrpgs from ps1, ps2, snes, gba, etc. Makes grinding a breeze.

Oh thanks. I’m going to play it this way.
