--- Quote from: WolfAlmighty on August 16, 2012, 02:09:52 PM ---I'm not sure how helpful the walkthrough to Gaia was as I didn't even discover it until I'd already finished the game in earnest, but I just thought it was funny how they gave the location of all the jewels, essentially spoiling the entire minigame, although to be fair they did put up a big warning page before that section so you wouldn't accidentally spoil anything for yourself. Also, I didn't realise that Gaia was published by Nintendo. SoulBlazer wasn't so I didn't think the sequel would have been, but that's interesting to know. --- End quote --- That's my best memory of the manual, that it was spoiling and not really helping. My absolute favorite part though, of IoG, hands down will forever be the fact that there are only 13 healing herbs in the whole game, and if you happen to be an excited kid going through the labyrinth in Mu, you will have 0 left and curse like a sailor when you die at the boss. :) The Enix/Nintendo-thing was actually quite common; one company makes a game, it's surprisingly profitable -> nintendo buys the publishing rights for the sequel. --- Quote from: larryinc64 on August 16, 2012, 02:20:30 PM ---I did not know Illusion of Gaia was a sequel. Is it necessary to play SoulBlazer first? I am quite a bit into Gaia, I only started playing it yesterday. --- End quote --- You can play IoG first, I did it that way, too. They're not directly connected so there won't really be a gap in the story if you choose to play them in another order than the official. |

Anyway I'm in proggress of uploading PDF versions of SNES manuals to my Mediafire. They are collected from the internet. They are reasdable and some are even near printable. Collection big so uploading will take hours. They will be here eventually in 7 files: http://www.mediafire.com/?519h62divsr7l NES folder is complete already. ;) |

Terranigma was never released stateside unfortunately, but yes it's the sequel to Gaia. IMO SoulBlazer is the better game of the two overall, but like Plainsongs said it's not necessary to play it prior to playing Gaia since the stories aren't connected at all. Both are great games, though. The difference being that if the final boss in Soulblazer is giving you trouble, just spend a half hour to an hour grinding the mirror enemies outside his lair and gain a boatload of levels and you can beat him that way. Gaia's final boss you have to beat fair (well, mostly fair, depending on how you feel about abusing temporary invincibility while transforming ;) ) and square so there's that, I guess. |

This is why I'd love to have manuals for my games! It just helps with the excitement (seeing thumbnails of bosses), and it helps create a bond between you and characters and most of all it gives you a background story. |
