Going in blind on this bad boy
This is why I love emulators. Found this, Hoshigami - Running Blue Earth, while browsing ROMs looking for jRPGs. I'm going in blind and about to waste my life clock.

A moment enjoyed is not wasted.
I adore this game. Pretty unique magic system (needed for late game) and mechanics and interesting characters to follow.
It's an absolute grind-fest but I grew up with it so I'm used to it by now.
I wish Atlus or whoever holds the IP make a new entry with it.
If you find an account with a "Leimrey" username in the wild, there's a great chance it's mine cuz I always used that up until my highschool day.
Anyone familiar with this, would you recommend the original here or the DS one? It's been sitting on my list for awhile now, too ...
I am not familiar, but, cutting the "changes" section out of a review:

So going entirely off that, it sounds like the remake is probably preferable, but it might not be a good idea if you plan to play the DS game as a "mobile" game --- dropping into the thing for a few minutes while waiting in a line or something.
If you play on an emulator on Steam Deck, you should be able to use the Deck's suspend feature.
Not familiar, but a quick Google indicates that the DS version improves somewhat on the PS original. It's still considered a terrible game though.
I played the DS version and found it to be kinda bland and cookie-cutter. Can't even remember anything specific about it honestly, I just remember it being a very forgettable game. Couldn't tell you if the PS1 version was any better, but I doubt it.
You can always run… runner.
I remember finding this game back in the day after feverishly searching for anything to fill the Final Fantasy Tactics shaped hole that was in my heart.
Cool game, but it didn't do that for me.
