I was so absorbed in it I forgot to post about it. I wish I had posted more of my thoughts as I went along... Especially reactions to a couple of certain scenes.
But I'd say without a doubt that it's got to be in my Top 3 Games of All Time. A second run will determine if it beats Mother 3 for the #1 spot or not, but I LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED it. Everything about it. I loved the story, I ADORED the characters (especially the main party), the gorgeous settings, the fun battle system, and the sheer replayability. There's a ton I didn't do that I want to go back and hit. But seriously, I am utterly in love with this game. It's a blend of some of my favorite stuff in games, period.
And now I'm hoping against the odds that we get some more stages from it as DLC, or music, or Shulk alts, or even a character.
