Terranigma - Possibly the Action RPG that rivals Secret of Mana 2 imo, although the game was never released outside of Japan, I managed to get a hold of the game, and man is this game amazing, kinda mixing up new religious themes with historical events and characters, what an original idea! You play as one character, you remake the whole world, resurrect the plants, animal life, the wind, etc and save/encounter several historical characters such as Christopher Columbus. This is one of the RPGs that also inspired Kingdom Hearts imo and is the first Action RPG I can think of that enabled you to jump during in battle and out of battle.

Terranigma was released in Europe, and so were the two other games of the Soul Blazer Triology.

IMO Illusion of Time was the best out of the three, but with Terranigma coming a really close second.

I thought all three were excellent myself, but Terranigma just had much more to offer me. Yet, Illusion of Time has the best moment; that is when the Princess's pet pig jumps in the camp fire, to cook itself in order to feed the starving tribesmen =P
It's a somewhat dark and depressing scene that is increibly humourous to reflect on.

Terranigma though, particularly once getting past Bloody Mary, is just filled with very satisfying and rewarding stuff; I loved building up all of the cities around the world, and following the worldwide/historywide conspiracy.

Terranigma, being one of my top 10 games of all time, also has the best ending in a video game for me. When Ark becomes a seagull and travels around the world he just helped to "recreate", it's a really touching moment.
