It was the first RPG I ever laid eyes on, and to this day, one of my favorite games ever. I don't understand why exactly... There is virtually no challenge, (although back in 1996 when I first played I thought it was hard, and died many times), the battles are repetitive, and it ends far, far too short.
There is something about the way the sound effects, the music, the sprites, battle system and the interface itself that blends together so beautifully. How did this happen? It was just supposed to be some collaborative effort between Square and Nintendo to make a game that would draw the interest of more mainstream gamers typically familiar with Super Mario and little else. Instead, it was like Square met eyes with Nintendo, and became overwhelmed with desire, mounting her from behind and thrusting his perfectly hard wood into her eager and anticipating pink *******, releasing almost instantly, throbbing and quivering in an ****** that would last for the rest of eternity, and they called it Legend of the Seven Stars.
Of course, there were other good RPGs back in that decade... Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VI, Breath of Fire, to name a few. None of them were quite able to create that same feeling though.
To pick up a typical Japanese made RPG these days is like stuffing your mouth as full as you can with sawdust and afterward attempting to swallow it all with only an ounce of water...
