Played this as a kid and literally got nowhere. Was fun to go through and actually play through the game. Thank you for the set!

Wow, this game gives me a headache. Even with a guide, I get so lost with the dungeons, and frustrated with Xemn's delicate block pushing puzzles. How did anyone make progress with this back in the day?

Back in Time For Dinner was atrocious. But at least I mastered this on Christmas, and what better game to master for the holidays than one about a family working together? :)

Mastered!
I struggled a bit with the game... I had to resort to guides a few times, It is hard to know where to go with the appropriate character, and I've been stuck a few times in the maze-like dungeon. Maybe it is best to take your time with the game rather than rushing, it takes a different mindset for this type of game.

The memorial event brought me here. Thank you for this set!

Mastered. Only played this for the memorial event and I would've never played this otherwise. The game is in the same level as Metroid and Zelda 1 where you'll need a guide or else you're going to be playing this game for a loooooonnnnngg time which is something I don't want to do.

The game's areas is a huge maze and its really easy to get lost in it without having a clue on what to do next. Xemn's area is by far the worst of the lot because of the required block pushing puzzles and some of them can have you get softlocked. The finnicky mechanics with block pushing doesn't help matters.

The most annoying aspect of this game was the method of attacking as everything but one item requires you to spend magic to attack. This forces you to conserve your meter as best you can but fortunately there's a lot of inns scattered around for easy refilling.

On the other hand, the jump glitch is by far a really handy tool to use through out your adventure as you can skip certain areas to get through the game faster or reach places a character can't otherwise reach. You can do this multiple times in the air as well.

The set itself is alright, abit I feel as though its bloated with points for the bosses. The first three bosses are definitely not 25 pointers.

Mastered! Took this on for Big 20 as well as playing this as a kid and getting nowhere for hours. From ceiling spikes that do nothing, to Inns that change to Shops when you attack, to that final looming dragon boss at the end. Would never imagine having doing this blind.

Mastered! I could have been a "DSIV-Master".
I had a good time. THX Suffa-san!
