Today I realized just why I love Threads of Fate as much as I do. For those unfamiliar, Threads of Fate is a PS1 action RPG with two playable characters that each have their own intertwining storylines. With that out of the way, there are three reasons I love Threads of Fate.
First off is the music, which is of production values high enough that it takes you aback at first. Honestly, the music is so well done it seems almost jarring against the PS1-era polygonal graphics.
Second is the brisk pace at which the game moves; even accomplishing all of the side quests you can get through the game in a couple of sittings.
Third, and I think most important, is the fact that nothing you do in that game is useless. Killing useless monsters nets you both MP and coins that can be turned into money, which can they be used to by permanent stat upgrades. Getting hit increases your hp, and using magic does the same for your mp. Honestly, as long as you aren't just running in circles outside of combat in this game, you are accomplishing something. Tack on New Game+, which lets you keep all of your stats from before, and you have a game where even losing a boss fight has a use.
All of these features, plus interesting characters and a narrative that never reveals too much, and you have got yourself a gem of a title.
P.S. 6 Days until Brawl.
