That is such a beautiful game. And it is still great, after all this time. I rebought it for Switch (because I would be a barbarian if I didn't) and started it up, to see how well it holds up after 12 years. Turns out: as I played instantly for hours although I have beaten the game back at the Wii, it seems it holds up ver nicely.

For the unskippable dialog, this was fixed in the Wii version, but not in the HD-release on PS3. The newer HD-versions on PS4, XB1 and Switch all combine the advantages of all versions, including skippable dialog and filter (configurable) for the rice paper texture, which was missing in the Wii version.

Yeah, I've been thinking about getting the PS4 HD-release for a while now, and almost ordered it for myself for christmas, but eventually went for some other games. I'm gonna get it eventually though.

I’ve been wanting to play that game for multiple generations now. Would’ve already bought it if dumb Capcom would just release a physical edition here in Europe. I’m still hoping in vain for them to release some kind of limited editon, but I should probably just import the Japanese version. Could also get it on PS4 technically, but I fear I’ll end up again not playing it...

It's definitely a game worth getting. Especially if you're a fan of 3D Zelda games.



More clues:

34. a)  Even though this is a single player game, some fans complained that the whole series was going to play like an MMO when this game first released.
b) Part of the gameplay is like computer programming, such as, "when hp < 70%, cast cure."

33. a)  Even though it wasn't ready until a few years after the Wii U's launch, I think this would have been the ideal launch game for the Wii U.  It uses popular IP and you really do need the Wii U gamepad to make full use of this game.
b) This game draws obvious inspiration from NES, SNES and Wii games from the same character.

32.  (guessed by Landale_Star)

31.  Many people say that Octopath Traveler was inspired by this SNES game.

30.  Though this series has let you choose between 4 characters before, this is the first game where you can play with 4 people at once.

34: Final Fantasy XII

31: A few different options, but let's say Chrono Trigger.

Hint time again

#32 JRPG featuring a mimic that might be from the previous, unconnected, game in the franchise.

#31 This crossover action RPG is anything but simple and clean.

#30 Another JRPG. On it's first release, feel free to rip wallpapers of the main characters on your PC but remember to the disc back in the console so they can take to the skies and save the world.

32 Dark Souls
30 Skies of Arcadia (or Skies of Arcadia Legends)

Skies of Arcadia is correct. #32 is turn based with random battles
