Romancing SaGa 3

Romancing SaGa 3 was never released in the US, it was fan-translated by Mana Sword and was actually one of the earlier jrpgs the emulation community brought over. Visually it’s very similar to Final Fantasy 6, though the battle system is closer to the earlier SaGa games (released as the Final Fantasy Legend series on the Game Boy).

( Fake wide open sandbox with some problematically minimlist aspects. Also, I spoil a little bit of the ending, but it's not really critical to enjoying the game and there aren't any real twists here. )
