    @xtof Unfortunately, I never experienced the GBA as a kid. Gave the game a try as an adult but somehow it didn't catch me. 🤷‍♂️What was the issue with the Micro? Did it miss something compared to the GBA and GBA SP?

    @repeatro I played it in the last year or so, I failed to see its greatness. I was expecting less puzzles, a better story, and above all much, much less dialogue.

    @repeatro The micro is really great. But as its name implies it is tiny. Many people don’t like to play rpg on it because if you don’t have a good sight the texts can be hard to read. Fortunately the screen is really sharp.But in order to transfert your savegame from the first opus to the second one, you have to enter a very long and cryptic textual code. Maybe 256 character long, or something like that.On the tiny screen, with only the pad and one button, the process was atrocious 🥲

    @repeatro Interesting series, someone I know into such games labeled it the heir to Lufia, funny how both died on the NDS.Is sad to see that the talented developers who made Shining Force III and these games are stuck making Mario Sports titles, perhaps one day they may return to RPG development.
