I had always avoided the Kings Field series because it looked like the gameplay didn’t age well, but honestly after playing through Lunacid I think I have to seriously give them a try.
I’m also watching a retrospective on the development of Vagrant Story right now and as a jrpg fan it’s wild to me that I never knew it existed back in the day. What they were able to accomplish in a PSX game is crazy. It makes me want to give it a try also

It’s even more crazy to consider the entire filesize for Vagrant Story is around 100mb. It’s incredibly economical for what it achieves.
It released the same year as FF8 and managed to have insanely more depth. It squeezed every last ounce of performance out of that system.
