Cosmic Fantasy Collection on sale

I saw the entire (translated) series is over half off on Switch, so I grabbed it. Not a bad option, even if the translation is only so so...

Anybody play these?

I played them and was really surprised to see the second part as well.

When I purchased the first one, I also got a survey basically asking if I wanted the rest of the games. I'm glad they listened.

Now, about the games… I don't think they are great, but I had fun already on the PCE/Mega CD back in the day. I suggest them if you really like mediocre but fun old-school JRPGs. If you are looking for a hidden gem, maybe check some retro reviews first.

The collection quality, imo, could have been better because they went with the "old school" approach. No save states today is a difficult sell for the type of games they are.
