Terranigma is not the greatest game out there. It has flaws, but few things are flawless. What it presents is a mostly complete journey, and it is endearing. Playing Terranigma often feels like time spent well. That it's difficult to get is a massive shame.haskelr

I was born in 1986, and Terranigma was one of the first console games to truly enchant me - so deeply that to this day, I look back on that time with a heart full of joy. Whenever I stumble upon anything related to Terranigma, my heart does a little leap of happiness. This game was crafted with such love and attention to detail - from the names of places and characters, to the sweeping story, and above all, the unforgettable soundtrack. It carved out a special place in my heart and left a lasting mark on who I am. The tale of Ark, Fluffy (the nickname of Yomi in the german version), and Melina is nothing short of a masterpiece - a timeless gem of its era. It's a tragedy that it was never released in the English-speaking world; had it been, the fanbase might be enormous today. And yet, the Terranigma community remains a devoted and tightly bound circle even now. All we dream of is a faithful remake, one that brings this beautiful world to life once more on a modern platform.

Terranigma gehört zu meinen "all time favourit" Spielen. Eine großartige Story , untersetzt von einen episch guten Soundtrack, einfach eine RPG Perle , die auch ein remastered wert wäre. Allein der Soundtrack liegt mir heute noch regelmäßig im Kopf.

One of the first rpg's that i personally owned and still own on the SNES. From the ost to the complex story i love this game! The only gripe that i have is the level cap between some dungeons and bosses but other than that it is great.

I always enjoyed Terranigma more than Zelda: A Link to the Past. Many of Terranigma's story elements and its overall sense of grandeur shaped my enjoyment of similar stories. Nowadays, my players have to endure my DMing style, which is heavily influenced by Terranigma's epicness. Also: Curses upon curses on the Witch of the Castle. It took me way too long to kill her as a child. >_

This is a unique Concole JRPG that never got a proper USA release. and I hate that. because I missed the chance to experience this underrated gem when I was a kid. There is no other game on the SNES like it.

This is one of my all time favorite SNES games. I remember getting it with a pre-owned SNES that I'd saved my newspaper route money for just to play Zelda, but Terranigma quickly became my favorite of the bunch. Everything from the compelling characters, the fluid combat system, the interesting sight that the world offers and the amazing music that I still find myself listening to every now and again. It all comes together to give the player and amazing experience, even with the oftentimes clunky translation, but that's part of the charm. I also remember learning that it never came out in America when the internet became more widespread, which is sad. Everyone deserves to play this amazing game. So having it be accessible for everyone through GoG would be absolutely wonderful, even better if it could happen on its 30th birthday in October.

This was my first JRPG ever! I aleays compared every game to Terranigma that came after and only a few come close. Unfortunately as I later found out, this game never came out in NA and therefore dist really getvthe hype it deservs outside of Europe and Asia. This game is in desperate need to be rereleased

I'm at a loss of words at just how much this game means to me. After 30 years Terranigma still holds its place as my favorite game of all time. The soundtrack, the story... it is just perfect

Terranigma is the finest game Enix made in their extremely prestigious SNES catalog, and that such a masterpiece is almost completely unavailable to a modern audience is tragic.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
