Is it still worth playing?
Square's 1996 tactical role playing game for the Super Famicom. You play Byuu, a soldier of the kingdom of Kahna who leads a campaign against the Granbelos Empire across the floating lands of Orelus. Battles blend 2D grid movement with turn based combat, and dragons fight beside your other characters. Each squadron has four characters, under one of six leaders, each with a dragon of their own. Those dragons are raised by feeding them. Weapons, armor, accessories and items make a dragon evolve into different types, and food it likes raises its loyalty while food it dislikes lowers it, though that food can still make it more powerful. A dragon raised by what you choose to feed it still makes each squadron your own today.
