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.

Oh didnt know that, was too young back than and didnt know about the interwebs ;p

I'll give Illusion of Time another chance, didnt like the gameplay aspect that much, but once again that was back than, my views on it might of changed, I know it did with alot of games that I tried out before but never got into them.

Well, keep in mind Illusion of Time isn't an RPG, there's no experience points or anything like that; it's system is identical to the Zelda heart system. Although, I personally enjoyed this game much more than Link to the Past; there was just a depth of an epic quest there that is fairly rare, even within RPGs. It is very cool how the player can shift form into other characters.

Compared to Soul Blazer and Terranigma, the world-building elements are just not really present; Illusion of TIme is more of a straight forward type game, and it takes place at one portion of the evolution of the world, and the next step occurs once the game is completed. Whereas Terranigma and Soul Blazer have the world growing throughout the entirety of the game.
