Secret of Evermore

Gosh, this is such a nifty game. It was released for the SNES in the early-mid '90s, I think. Anyway, I really like the battle system for the game, as well as having a loyal companion to help you out. So enjoyable. However, I heard that this game did terribly. I wonder why...

its a pretty spiffy game, I liked everyone apart from the story, which is why I havent beaten SOE yet....

My first guess would be the complete lack of multiplayer support, and my second is that it had too many empty places (as in, lots of fights but not enough npc interaction).

I can think of a few reasons why it didnt do too well when it was released.

If i remember correctly it was released and publicized as a US made rpg. Im pretty sure it was never releaed in Japan, thus losing the majority of rpg players.

And it was released AFTER the legendary Secret of Mana and still couldnt compare to SoM. Its funny how Evermore was largely based upon the Secret gameplay yet did so many things worse.

Also, add in its terrible box art... :mog:

I thought it was ok. Lots of way better SNES games though

Did you know that some characters from Final Fantasy VI make a cameo in this game? I can't remember which part of the game (in fact, I'm replaying it right now because I love it so much), but I definitely remember seeing them!

Im gonna find my SNES, hook it up, borrow this game from my cousin, and beat it just because of the post above mine now.

[Awesomeman]

I'm gona do thesame!

[crono_logical]

I'd put it in the better part of SNES RPGs too

Actually it was Cecil and Rosa from FFIV, they own a weapon shop if I remember correctly.

Watch what happens when you leave the "The End" screen running for an hour.

It's true, Cecil and Rosa do own a shop in this game. Also, when you are fighting Vigor in that Colliseum, you can clearly see the gang from FFVI in the crowd.
