Backlog Resolution: Septerra Core Part 7
Exploring (and getting very lost in) the World Bazaar, Maya works with Selena to find an free the Bounty Hunter Araym from his fellow mercenaries. After all, what better team building exercise could exist than doing a bit of breaking and entering here and there? Seriously, the team steals so many items from poor people in this episode. It's actually kind of concerning how willing our hero is to just bust into a poor person's drainage pipe house and steal their valuables.
Septerra Core: Legacy of the Creator is a console style role playing game released in 1999 by Valkyrie Studios and Monolith Productions. Developed in the late 90s and likely inspired by games like Chrono Trigger and the Final Fantasy series, the game tells the story of Maya as she works with her allies to save the clockwork world of Septerra. With game systems that will be second nature for many JRPG fans and the option for full mouse control, Septerra Core brought the experience of console RPGs to the PC at a time when that wasn't so common as it is today. It might not be an all-time great, but it's certainly interesting and worth a look.
