What were they?
Y's: The Ark of Napishtim and Sword of Mana
about how long did it take?
10 for Y's over a course of a week, 15 for Sword of Mana, started a year and a half ago, got about 7 hours in, then started playing it again when my boyfriend reminded me about the game.
What did you think of it?
Y's I needed a break from turn based rpgs, so this fun little adventure was a good place to go. It's short for sure, but every now and then I WANT to play a short game so I can get the feeling of accomplishing the goal of clearing out part of my huge backlog of games in not much time...and some games just feel like they are dragging on after a while. Story kinda made me wish I had played some of the other Y's games.
Sword of Mana was a remake of my first rpg/adventure game. For some reason, even though the graphics were prettier, the storyline more fleshed out I still felt a slight letdown. Maybe it's because Willy didn't die in the begining. Maybe it's because Marcie was now Marshall. Maybe it's because the girl wasn't needed to open the way to the mana tree, just her pendant. Yes, they are stupid little things, but FFA is special to me.
And what did you do with it afterwards?
Put them back in their holders to play again someday....if I ever clear out the rest of the backlog.
What game/s are you playing next?
Persona 2: Eternal Punishment and Breath of Fire II (GBA)
