Final Fantasy Legend III EasyType is one of those Game Boy RPGs that feels bigger than it has any right to be. You start off in this weird floating continent (already cool), and before you know it, you're hopping between past and future timelines trying to stop the world from collapsing. The "EasyType" version tweaks some of the original's brutal difficulty—less grinding, more actually enjoying the story.
What I love is how your party slowly transforms from regular warriors into these half-cyborg, half-mutant hybrids. First time I played, I accidentally turned my healer into a robot and panicked, but it actually worked out? Battles are snappy for a Game Boy RPG, and the time travel gimmick means you'll revisit areas in different eras—seeing a ruined city in the future that was thriving in the past never gets old.
It's got that classic 90s RPG jank (why does the menu cursor lag sometimes?), but the soundtrack slaps and the story goes places you wouldn't expect from a cartridge this small. If you've got nostalgia for chunky pixels and turn-based fights where you can literally fuse monsters into your sword, this holds up surprisingly well.
