The first real rpg on the Playstation. I played this game non stopped through high school and still I found little things that I didn't notice the first play through. It has an old world charm to it. I on occasion go back to playing it. It would be great to save this game.
I have always been a huge fan of the RPG genre, so every time a new console or PC game came out, I was watching waiting for a new one. Playstation 1 when it first came out, did not have much in the way of RPGs (at first) and I had heard from a friend that there was one that launched either with the system or shortly thereafter called ^ you guess it Beyond the Beyond. Now my friend, and many reviewers afterwards shunned this game, it did not get great reviews let me tell you! However after trying it for a few minutes I immediately fell in love with it. The story was so-so, but that wasn't what sold it for me. The graphics was stunning for its time, it was like someone took Shining Force and improved the graphics and gave it a slightly more adult edge. Despite the naysayers and bad publicity that got unjustly slapped on this great classics name. In its way it laid the ground work for future games to build upon, like Fire Emblem etc, much like in the way it built off of games like Shining Force and Ogre Battle. So for me, this is a definite yes, I would love to revisit this game, if nothing else purely for the nostalgic factor.
Beyond the Beyond was a revolutionary RPG that set the standard for the PlayStation, offering an extraordinary level of gameplay that captivated gamers around the world. It successfully infused the nostalgic charm of Dragon Warrior-style gameplay into a contemporary console experience, making it a defining title of its time.
